• The cables must be in good condition, not have any sharp bends, and not be pinched.
• The sheathing must not be damaged and must not have indentations or be embossed
• The cable entry seal sleeve and washers must conform to the outside diameter of the
• The minimum bending radius must not be below the accepted value.
• If using a cable which has been used before, a short piece must be peeled off when

Earthing (Grounding)
Electrical Hazard:
• You must earth (ground) all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump
• If the motor cable is jerked loose by mistake, the earth (ground) conductor should be
• Risk of electrical shock or burn. You must connect an additional earth- (ground-) fault
Earth (ground) conductor length
The earth (ground) conductor must be 270mm (10.6 in) longer than the phase conductors
in the junction box of the unit.
Product-specific precautions
Electrical Hazard:
This information is valid only for standard version products:
For a pump with a level regulator and a cable with earth (ground) check: Make sure that
the earth (ground) check connection is done at the GC-connection point with a cable lug
and one screw. Connect the ground cable from the level switch to the other screw at the
GC-connection point.
Connect the motor cable to the pump
CAUTION:
Leakage into the electrical parts can cause damaged equipment or a blown fuse. Keep
the end of the motor cable above the liquid level.
1. Check the data plate to see which connections are required for the power supply.
2. Connect the motor cable conductors, including earth (ground), to the terminal or
3. Make sure that the pump is correctly connected to earth (ground).
4. Firmly tighten the cable entry into its bottom-most position.
