Direct Power Operation

The CX400/PX400 submersible pumps can be configured to operate by direct power (Figure 4) or connected to a control box (Figure 10) utilizing float switches. When the pump is connected directly to a 1Ø, 115 VAC, 60 Hz power source, the pump will operate soon as power is applied. It is suggested that a quick disconnect switch be installed as a means of turning the power on and off.

When operating the pump using direct power (no control box), the pump must be monitored at all times. Failure to monitor the pump during operation could lead to severe pump damage should the pump encounter problems such as a stuck impeller or not fully immersed in water.
