Start-Up; Flotation - Aqua Control COMBO Series Instruction Manual

The supply cord from the power supply to the control panel must be sized for a power supply voltage drop of no more than 3%. All output cord sizing is based on
a maximum of 5% voltage drop, so the supply cord voltage drop of 3% must not be exceeded.
WARNING: It is the installer's responsibility to provide and connect a neutral wire to the neutral input terminal block. Failure to connect a neutral wire will burn
out the GFCI-Circuit Breakers. GFCI-Circuit Breakers that fail during installation are NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
1. Single phase, 120V power supply should be 3 wires: 1 hot, 1 neutral, and a ground.
2. Single phase, 208/230V 60 Hz power supply should be 4 wires: 2 hots, 1 neutral, and a ground. Both hots must be 120V to neutral.
3. Three phase, 208 or 230V, 60 Hz power should be 5 wires: 3 hots, 1 neutral and a ground.
4. Three phase, 460/480V 60 Hz should be 4 wires: 3 hots and a ground.
A. If no external source of 120V is to be supplied, the required 120V for the only control circuit can be supplied from an optional internal control
transformer.
B. If an external source of 120V is supplied for the control circuit and/or lights, 120V supply power must also be supplied along with the
460/480V. (6 wires total)
C. If an external source of 120/240V is supplied for the control circuit and for 2 or more sets of lights, 120/240V power, (2 hots with 240V
between them and each 120V to neutral) must be supplied. (7 wires total)
At installation and initial startup, it is recommended to record the actual voltage under load (while the unit is running) and the running amperage of the unit.
This can be kept inside the control panel for future reference. This allows for easy determination if something at site or with the installation has changed. The
correct voltage and amperage ratings are on the schematic and on the door label of the control panel.
Any Aqua Control, Inc. Fountain can be operated continuously or intermittently as desired except during freezing weather. If a less than normal flow is observed, it is
imperative that the cause be promptly investigated and corrected. Failure to do so can cause cavitation resulting in pump and motor damage and will void the warranty.
Reduced flow will usually be due to a blockage that must be removed.
Field modifications to the control panel made by anyone not qualified and authorized by UL to make such modifications, or modified with non-UL rated
components, will render the control panel no longer UL Listed.
Modification of the Control Panel will void the Aqua Control warranty on the entire unit unless Aqua Control specifically approves the changes.
If ventilation is added in the field, it must be done with a NEMA 3R rated and screened (or filtered) ventilation kit. A screened ventilation hole or holes can be
put in the bottom of the enclosure.
1. Bar weights can be added to level the unit, sink lights below the water surface, or to make the floats less visible during
operation.
2. Each large bar weighs ten (10) lbs. in the water and the smaller bar weighs five (5) lbs. The weights should be placed inside the vertical saddle tubes at
either the front or rear floats until the unit is at the desired depth and floating level.
3. The front and rear floats should have an equal amount exposed above the water at the front and rear saddles.
4. Each inch of float depth showing while the unit is running requires 33 lbs to sink. (Because there are two floats, it requires 66 lbs. of evenly distributed
weight to sink the unit one inch.)
5. After the unit is leveled, additional weights can be added in the front and rear saddle tubes to sink the unit further, if necessary.
6. Lights need to be completely submerged when the unit is operating.
