5. Installation and Wiring
5.1 Installation Notes
The MPC VECTOR is a microprocessor-based controller that uses electro-static sensitive CMOS components. Do
not make any (high or low voltage) electrical connections without adequately grounding the MPC VECTOR and
the worker to eliminate an electro-static charge between the two.
A CONDUCTIVE WRIST STRAP WORN BY THE WORKER AND ATTACHED TO THE MPC
VECTOR'S INTERNAL GROUND PLATE IS ADEQUATE TO SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT.
Calibration is an important element of successful MPC VECTOR operation. If a flow meter is being used for
process feedback the flow meter must be calibrated by the supplying manufacturer prior to MPC VECTOR
calibration according to manufacturer recommendations.
Conduit connections can carry fluids and vapors into the MPC VECTOR causing damage and void the warranty.
Care should be taken when installing conduit to protect against fluid/vapor entry. If necessary, provide sealed
entries or conduit drains near the point of entry. The user must supply the correct connection for the power entry,
as per the local codes and requirements. Any cable entrances that are not used should be appropriately sealed
against moisture and vapors.
5.2 Controller Location
The following section describes the installation steps necessary for a successful installation.
Review the Safety section (Section 2) prior to installing the MPC VECTOR. It contains information required to
properly install and operate the MPC VECTOR in an industrial environment.
The site selected for the installation of your MPC VECTOR is largely dependent on your particular pump(s)
physical location. Review the Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual provided with your particular pump
type. The Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual details system related issues that are important to
proper operation of the pump.
Consider the following MPC VECTOR installation related issues when selecting an installation site.
Location of the controller enclosure must be within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of the pump motor, otherwise
consult factory on longer distances if necessary.
Avoid locations where the MPC VECTOR would be subjected to extreme cold or heat (<0 or >40 Degrees
Celsius, <32 or >104 Degrees Fahrenheit). Note the warning statement on the next page. The installation
of this device must comply with national, state and local electrical codes.
Location for the handheld device used to display flow and control manual operation of the pump, a
maximum of 1000 feet (305 meters) is allowed.
The MPC VECTOR controller must be secured to an appropriate support before use. Use appropriate hardware to
secure the MPC VECTOR controller to a smooth vertical surface.
