Control Panel Installation - Kasco 8400JF Owner's Instructions Manual

Control Panel Installation

STEP ONE
Inspect the panel for any damage and any components
that may have loosened during shipping.
Control panel must be installed a minimum of 5ft (3m
in Canada) from the inside wall of the pond, unless
separated from the body of water by a fence wall,
or other permanent barrier that will make the unit
inaccessible to persons in the water.
Install the control panel to a post structure, side of a
building, or other reliable means. This structure must
support the panel and prevent movement/flexing of the
panel. Use #10 x 1" or longer screws in the mounting
points of the control panel to secure to the post
structure. NOTE: The control panel must be hung
upright in order to be waterproof. It is also advised
to mount the panel out of direct sunlight if possible.
Mounting the panel in a North direction will prevent
heat buildup inside the panel. Also, mount the panel
above the potential flood plain to prevent water entry
during a possible flood event.
STEP TWO
Set Timer in the control panel to desired ON and OFF
times per the Instructions on the door label or the
instructions in this manual.
STEP THREE
Electrical Service wiring:
Follow all local and national electrical codes for
this installation and Consult a qualified electrician
or service person if needed.
All electrical connections to this panel must be made
with proper strain relief cord grip fittings or with
conduit connections as required by local and national
electric codes. The bottom of the enclosure is reserved
for field installation of these connections.
3 phase: (2.3, 3.3, 5.3, 7.3)
Refer to your 3 phase control panel instructions.
Single Phase: (8400, 3.1, 5.1)
C85 / C95 non-metallic control panel:
Incoming power connection: (Power feed)
This control panel requires a 240V or 208V - 4 wire
service (L1, L2, N, & G) and must be fed with a
power circuit protected by a circuit breaker or a fused
disconnect switch to provide circuit protection and a
10
disconnection means.
C-85 panel requires at least a 30amp protected circuit
feeding the panel.
C-95 panel requires at least a 40amp protected circuit
feeding the panel.
Connect your power feed as detailed in the wiring
diagram provided with this panel.
L1 connects to Terminal
L2 connects to Terminal
N connects to Terminal
G connects to Terminal
Be sure to provide adequate sized power conductors
to prevent excessive voltage drop. Consult with your
electrician to properly size power feed conductors.
Use copper conductors only.
Aerator power cord connection:
Your aerator (pump) will be provided with a flexible
power cord for connection to this control panel. If
the power cord has a plug, you will need to cut it off.
The power cord conductors (black, white, green) will
need to be stripped back 1/2". The outer black jacket
should be stripped back at least 3inches. Follow the
connection diagram for terminating these three wires
to the terminal blocks in the control panel.
Black connects to Terminal
White connects to Terminal #5
Green connects to Terminal
Light Kit connection:
If you purchased a Kasco light kit(s) for your aerator,
follow the light kit installation instructions for
mounting the light kit(s) to the aerator float.
This control panel requires a hardwire connection for
the light kit(s). To connect the light kit(s) you will
need to cut off the power cord plug that is molded to
the light kit power cord. Strip back the black outer
jacket of the light kit power cord at least 3inches
to reveal the three internal wires of the power cord.
(black, white, and green conductors). These three
wires will need to be stripped back 1/2". Follow the
connection diagram for terminating these three wires
to the terminal blocks in the control panel.
