Installation PSG2 500 Checks to Make Before Installation • When a grounded plug is used: Use the megohmmeter to measure the insulation resistance between the cable assembly prongs and ground. • When connection leads are used: With the megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance between each core lead and the ground lead.
PSG2 500 Installation Connecting the Power Supply Before connecting leads to the terminal strip, make certain the power supply is turned off (circuit breaker, etc.), to avoid electrical shock, shorting, or unexpected starting of the pump, leading to injury. WARNING Before inserting the power supply plug, make certain the power supply is turned off (circuit breaker, etc.), to avoid electrical shock, shorting, or unexpected starting of the pump, leading to injury.
Installation PSG2 500 Cable Assembly If it is necessary to extend the cable assembly, use a core size equal to or larger than the original. This is necessary not only to avoid a performance drop, but to prevent cable overheating which can result in CAUTION fire, electrical leakage or electrical shock.
