WARNING! Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed
electrician in compliance with local, state, and national electrical code NEC/
ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA30, and NFPA 30A, as appropriate to the intended use of
the pump. The pump must be properly grounded. Improper installation or use
of this pump can result in serious bodily injury, or death!
CAUTION! All pumps should operate at the rated nameplate voltage. AC
power should be supplied to the pump from a dedicated circuit with 15 amp
circuit protection. No other equipment should be powered by this circuit.
Wiring must be of sufficient size to carry the correct current for the pump
(minimum 12 gauge). Voltage drop will vary with distance to pump and size of
wire; refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC), or local codes, for voltage
drop compensation to be sure you are using the correct size wire for your
application.
AC Wiring Instructions
AC Wiring Procedure
1. Remove the junction box cover and straighten the wires to make sure the stripped
wire ends are accessible outside the junction box.
2. Install rigid conduit and appropriate wiring from power source to the junction box to
maintain the explosion proof integrity. Power should be supplied from a dedicated
15 amp circuit breaker; no other equipment should be powered by this circuit.
3. Connect the pump wires to the power supply lines according to the wiring diagram
(page 11). Be certain to properly insulate the connections with the appropriate wire
nuts or other connectors. Note that the ground wire MUST be connected (ground
wire connection is inside the junction box; see figure 5, page 11).
4. Fold the wires back into the junction box and replace the cover, making sure the
cover gasket is in place.
IMPORTANT! Be certain
the gasket for the junction
box cover is in place, and
the screws draw the
cover down tight over the
junction box. There must
be no gap between the
junction box and it’s
cover. The seal should
be weather tight to
prevent moisture from
entering the junction box.
