Important Safety Instructions

WARNING
! This unit should not be serviced in the eld. Do not disassemble or reconnect
components in the eld use authori ed factory service only. High voltage and rotating parts can cause
serious or fatal in ury. Safe installation, operation and maintenance must be performed by quali ed
personnel. Familiarization with and adherence to the National Electric Code, NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) standards and local codes is required. It is important to observe safety precautions to protect
personnel from possible injury. Personnel should be instructed for handling each of the following:
• This motor control/timer should be powered from
a separate circuit of adequate capacity to maintain
sufficient voltage during starting and running conditions.
Wire size shall be adequate to minimize voltage drop
during starting and running. A qualified or licensed
electrician should be used to properly size the motor
control/timer supply circuit. Reference Articles 310
and 400 of the NEC for further information on wire
sizing. A 8 AWG or larger conductor must be wired
to the motor control/timer ground/bonding lug. Use
6 AWG in Canada. Wiring, including flexible cords,
should be as short as possible to minimize voltage
drop. All electrical connections in this system must be
secure to prevent voltage drop and localized heating.
If AC power is supplied by a GFCI circuit breaker, use
a dedicated circuit that has no other electrical loads.
GFCI use shall be in accordance with NEC and all other
applicable state, local, and national electrical codes.
• A 2-pole device, such as a circuit breaker, relay,
timer, etc., that creates an open circuit when the
motor control is "OFF" should be used to permanently
connect the motor and timer. Failure to use a 2-pole
device will result in voltage being present at the
motor and timer and potential shock hazard.
• To connect power to the motor control/timer unit, refer
to the connection diagram on the motor nameplate and
the timer connection label.
• Insulate all connections carefully to prevent grounding or
short circuits. Reinstall all conduit and terminal box covers.
• Voltage to the motor control/timer shall be within plus or
minus 10 of the nameplate voltage to avoid overheating
and loss of performance.
• Make sure the unit is electrically grounded and proper
electrical installation wiring and controls are used
consistent with local and national electric codes. Refer
to "National Electrical Code Handbook"
2EZ Speed Pool Motor with Programmable Control/Timer
TM
Employ qualified electricians. Insulate all connections
carefully to prevent grounding or short circuits. Reinstall
all conduit and terminal box covers.
• Code requirements differ from state to state. Install
equipment in accordance with all applicable codes
and ordinances in your area and in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. All electrical connections
should be made and maintained by a qualified or
licensed electrician.
• Make sure there are no unusual noises or vibrations
when the motor/control is running. If noise and vibration
are observed, refer to the Troubleshooting section on
page 16.
• This motor/control shall only be used above ground.
It is not a submersible pump motor/control.
• Pump size and pump impeller size shall match the
existing hydraulic system of the pool.
• Avoid contact with energized circuits or rotating parts.
• Provide proper safeguards for personnel against
rotating parts.
