Seal Failure Probes:
All
submersible pumps have two

They are in a normally open series

Hydromatic.
Heat Sensors:
All motors in this family have
heat sensors on or embedded in
the motor winding to detect
excessive heat. This prevents
damage to the motor. If sensor
trips due to excessive winding
temperature, starter in panel
breaks power to the pump. Once
sensor resets, the starter is to be
manually reset for UL and
automatic reset for FM for
continued operation of the pump.
This circuitry is supplied in a
Hydromatic control panel.
The sensors are set to trip at
120°C (248°F).
Note:
Failure
to
such circuitry would negate
UL and FM approvals and all
warranties by Hydromatic.
Power Cords:
The power cord and heat sensor
seal failure cord are potted into
the connection box cap. The cords
must not be spliced.
Note: each cable has a
green lead. this is the ground
wire and must be grounded
properly per N.e.C. and/or
local codes. Cords should be
inspected for abnormal wear
and replaced accordingly.
overload Heaters:
If the Hydromatic electrical panel
is not used, starters with 3 leg
overload relay must be supplied on
3 phase pumps. Each leg is to
have an identical heater sized in
accordance with the nameplate
amps on the motor housing. The
