Control Panel Installation - Kasco 2400VFX Operation & Maintenance Manual

CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION

1� 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 to be waterproof� It is also advised to mount the panel out of direct sunlight if possible by mounting the panel in a North
direction. Also, mount the panel above the potential flood plain to prevent water entry during a possible flood event.
2� Set timer in the control panel to desired ON and OFF times per the instructions for each specific timer.
3. Follow all local and national electrical codes for this installation and consult a qualified electrician or service person if needed.
• (For 120V Installations) Plug the aerator cord into the C-25 outlet labeled "UNIT". If lights are included, plug the transformer
cord into the C-25 outlet labeled "LIGHT". Now you are ready to plug the C-25 into the 120V power supply on the post and
ENJOY YOUR NEW KASCO AERATOR!
• (For 240V Installations–3400H, 4400H) 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.
• 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 disconnection means. C-85 panel requires at least a 30amp protected circuit feeding the
panel. C-95 panel requires at least a 40-amp protected circuit feeding the panel. Connect your power feed as detailed in the
wiring diagram provided with this panel. L1 connects to Terminal #1, L2 connects to Terminal #2, N connects to Terminal N, G
connects to Terminal GROUND -located on chassis plate� Be sure to provide adequately 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 3 inches. Follow the connection diagram for termi-
nating these three wires to the terminal blocks in the control panel. Black connects to Terminal #4,White connects to Terminal
#5, Green connects to Terminal G.
• 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. Light kit connections: Black connects to Terminal #6, White connects to Terminal #7, Green connects to Terminal G.
4. Test the GFCB with the test button now and every 30 days. Lights can now be installed per Instructions included with the lights.
Once completed, power can be restored to the panel� Record the following data while the Aerator is operating in the water under
load:
