accept standard wire nuts. Each wire is color coded to
correspond with the diagram below. Conduit knockouts
are provided at the back of the control mounting plate.
Attach the ground wire to the green ground screw
provided. Use water tight conduit, connections, and
wire nuts for an outside application.
3. Wiring is similar to a traditional mechanical pressure
switch. Two leads are connected to line supply, while
the other supply the pump motor or starter. Wire the
control to the line supply and pump motor or pump
starter as required by the manufacturer's instructions.
It is recommended that service switch be installed in
addition to the circuit breaker. The disconnect for the
controller must break all incoming power lines. This
should interrupt line voltage and be installed near the
Well-X1 and labeled appropriately.
