3. Insure the float wires are run in separate conduit from any power wires. 4. Mount the BioBarrier control panel in a location that is accesible to a service party, meets all code requirements and prevents a voltage drop. The 110VAC panel requires a 15A breaker minimum. The 220VAC control requires a 20A breaker minimum.
3. Wire the blower to accept the proper voltage for your specific location according to the diagrams of each blower. Introducing harmful or damaging substances into the BioBarrier ® system may void the warranty. Blower for BioBarrier® 0.5 Blower for BioBarrier® 1.0 & 1.
