NOTE: A hoist or crane may be used in lowering and removing
the pump. Center the pump under the hook so that the pump
can be lifted straight up. Lifting a pump that is not centered will
create side pulls which may strain the crane and/or cause the
pump to bind in the guide rail. Follow all general precautions in
the crane’s manual when installing and operating the crane.
See Figure 14.
B-7) JUNCTION BOX CONNECTIONS:
This section refers to basins having a cover with j-box. For
combination covers, see the "Control Panel Manual" and panel
schematics for proper wiring of control panel.
IMPORTANT !
CHECK TO BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS OFF.
IMPORTANT !
ALL CONNECTIONS INSIDE THIS TANK AND/OR
JUNCTION BOX MUST BE MADE WITH "UL" LISTED
WATER TIGHT CONNECTORS.
CAUTION !
THIS UNIT MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE CONNECTION
TO THE SOURCE OF SUPPLY. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT ALL SUCH
CONNECTIONS BEFORE SERVICING.
Wire Size: - Consult a qualified electrician for proper wire size.
See Pump Manual for electrical information.
Direct Burial Cable:
Due to the availability of multi conductor direct burial cables,
several options have been left to the installer (see "DIRECT
BURIAL CABLE REQUIREMENTS" on page 27).
For OPTIONAL conduit from the basin to the motor controller,
it is recommended that a packing material such as a sprayable
urethane foam be used in the conduit line, placed around the
wires, at the conduit coupling to help prevent gases from
entering the motor controller. Packing is recommended for ALL
entries into the motor control panel. It is very important to keep
the conduit line dry and free from moisture during this process.
Remove junction box cover to connect pump, sensor and
control cords to incoming direct burial cables. Refer to Figures
16 and 22 for your particular pump type and configuration.
NOTE: Figures 16 and 22 are for illustration purposes only,
cord locations, cables, color codes and junction box
design may vary.
B= Black, OR = Orange (or BL= Blue), R= Red,
G= Green, W=White.
To make wire connections, use the appropriate size wire nut.
B-8) LEVEL CONTROLS:
The level controls are to be supported by a float pole (or
optional cable rack) that is attached to the rail assembly. Floats
may be adjusted by loosening the cable ties on the float pole
(or by loosening the cord grips on the cable rack). Floats are
factory adjusted before shipment, re-adjustment may be
required for your particular installation.
IMPORTANT !
BOTTOM FLOAT FOR "OFF" OR "LOW LEVEL
ALARM", MUST BE A MIN. OF 10" FROM BOTTOM OF
BASIN TO WEIGHT ON SUSPENDED FLOAT, OR TO
CABLE TIE ON POLE MOUNTED FLOAT.
Be certain that the level controls cannot hang up or foul in it’s
swing .
Float Pilot Switch Rating: 4.5A @ 115 Volts, 1/2 HP.
2.2A @ 230 Volts, 1/2 HP.
NOTE: Float switch activates pump contactor only and does
not switch pump directly.
OPERATION SEQUENCES:
Three float switches are normally supplied with SGV simplex
systems and four withSGPC and duplex systems. For SGPC
stations the lowest switch is a "Redundant Off" and is wired in
series with the second switch, the "Normal Off" the third switch
is for PUMP ON and the fourth is ALARM ON. For SGV stations
the lowest switch is for PUMP(s) OFF, the next highest for
PUMP ON for simplex and LEAD PUMP ON for duplex, the
third at still higher level for ALARM ON for simplex and LAG
PUMP ON for duplex, and the fourth at the highest level for
ALARM ON for duplex systems.
The level controls are normally open, unless otherwise
specified. As the wet well level rises, the OFF float switch
closes. As level continues to rise, the lead ON switch closes,
completing the pilot circuit to start the lead pump. When the
lead pump lowers the level and the lead ON switch opens, no
action occurs due to a latching contact which keeps the circuit
energized until the level is lowered to the point at which the
pump OFF switch opens. The float switches are to be
connected to the pump control relay(s) in the pump motor
controller.
