Controller Location Selection
The SubDrive controller is intended for operation in ambient temperatures up to 125°F (51°C) at 230 VAC input. The following recommendations will help in selection of the proper location of the SubDrive unit:
1.A tank tee is recommended for mounting the tank, pressure sensor, pressure gauge, and pressure relief valve at one junction. If a tank tee is not used, the pressure sensor should be located within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the pressure tank to minimize pressure fluctuations. There should be no elbows between the tank and pressure sensor.
2.The unit should be mounted on a sturdy supporting structure such as a wall or supporting post. Please take into account the weight of the unit, which weighs approximately 34 pounds (15.5 kg).
3.The electronics inside the SubDrive are
▲! CAUTION
There should be at least 6 inches of clearance above and below the unit to allow room for air flow.
