Electrical Wiring Installation
To connect the Sparus
™
connected pumps):
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned
off before wiring motor.
2. Be sure that the supply line voltage matches the
motor voltage listed on the motor plate. If they do
not match, permanent motor damage may occur.
3. Use #12 AWG for wire runs up to 100 feet (30.5
meters) and #10 AWG for lengths longer than 100
feet (30.5 meters). When in doubt, use a heavier
gauge (larger diameter) wire.
4. Use strain relief and be sure all electrical connections
are clean and tight.
5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length so they do
not overlap or touch when connected.
6. Permanently ground the motor using the ground wire,
as shown below. Use the correct wire size and type
specified by National Electrical Code. Make sure
the ground wire is connected to an electrical service
ground.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or
a qualified service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others
due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.

7. Bond the motor to the structure in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. UL requires use of a
solid copper bonding conductor not smaller than 8
AWG. Run a wire from the external bonding screw
or lug to the bonding structure.
8. Connect the wire from the accessible wire connector
on the motor to all metal parts of the structure and
to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal
piping within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the inside walls of the
structure.For Canada, a 6 AWG or larger solid copper
bonding conductor is required.
9. The pump should be permanently connected to either
a circuit breaker, 2-pole timer or 2-pole relay. If AC
power is supplied by a GFCI circuit breaker, use a
dedicated circuit breaker that has no other
electrical loads.
Note: When the pump is started and stopped by
removing power with a relay or timer, a two-pole
device should be used to apply and remove
power to both POWER LINE TERMINALS.
