Installation - Electrical

WARNING: All wiring and electrical connections

must be performed by a qualiﬁed electrician familiar

with industrial motor controls. Installation must be in

accordance with local and national codes.

WARNING: Disconnect, tag, and lock out the power

source, and then release all pressure from the system

before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform

any maintenance.

WARNING: Overheating, short circuiting, and ﬁre damage

will result from inadequate wiring.

Preparing for installation

This product must be grounded. For units that do not have

a factory installed cord, install permanent wiring from the

electrical source to the pressure switch with a ground conductor

connected to the grounding screw on the pressure switch.

A properly sized cord with a ground conductor and plug may

also be installed by the user.

Local electrical wiring codes differ from area to area. Source

wiring and protector must be rated for at least the amperage

and voltage indicated on the motor nameplate, and meet all

electrical codes for this minimum. The minimum wire size

should also meet all electrical codes, and wiring used up to

75 ft. long must be 10AWG. Use a slow-blow fuse type T

or a 240-Volt double-pole circuit breaker (1).

□ Conﬁrm the voltage of the incoming mains (2,3) using

a voltage meter (4).

□ The voltage meter should read 230/240Volts.

Do not proceed with installation if the voltage meter gives

a different reading.

□ Conﬁrm the voltage of the incoming mains (5)

and ground wire (6) using a voltage meter (7).

□ The voltage meter should read 120Volts. Do not proceed with

installation if the voltage meter gives a different reading.

□ The electronic drain valve requires a 120-Volt outlet to plug into.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the motor from improper electrical

voltage or connection will void the warranty.

DANGER: Improperly grounded motors are shock hazards.

Make sure all the equipment is properly grounded.
