WIRING PRECAUTIONS
The quality of the electrical installation is a major factor in maintaining proper safety levels and providing
1.Have the pump installed by a competent installer/electrician.
2.All wiring must be installed to conform with all building/fire codes, all Federal, State, and Local codes, National Electrical Code, (NFPA 70), NFPA 30, Automotive and Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A), and NFPA 395 codes and regulations.
3.Use only threaded, rigid, metal conduit.
4.Use only
5.Wire connections should be tightly spliced and secured with a wire nut; close off the open end of the wire nut with electrical tape.
6.The line to the motor should be on a separate circuit and installed on a 15 AMP breaker. This should be sufficient for either 115V, 60 cycle or 230V, 50 cycle operation.
7.The unit must be properly grounded.
8.Install an emergency power cutoff if the pump is used for other than personal use. In addition to circuit breaker requirements of NFPA 70 and NFPA 30A, a single control which simultaneously removes AC power from all site dispensing equipment is recommended. This control must be readily accessible, clearly labeled, and in accordance with all local codes. In order to provide the highest level of safety, we recommend that all employees be trained as to the location and procedure for turning off power.
9.When DC pulsers are used in the pump, the AC and DC wires must not share any conduits, junction boxes, or troughs.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Power to the unit should be supplied from a dedicated 15 AMP circuit breaker. No other equipment should be powered from this breaker. This motor draws the following current: 115VAC, 60 cycle, 5.1 amps; 230VAC, 50 cycle, 1.95 amps. If two (2) pumps are supplied from one breaker, that breaker must be capable of handling the load of both motors. Provisions must be made to break both legs of any AC circuit.
