Page 21 (from the residence to the system), two double-stranded electrical wires are needed. Premier Tech recommends using a pipe/conduit to protect the buried wires. The professional electrician will choose the appropriate wire size. One of these wires will provide the power supply, whereas the other one will send current from the alarm float to the alarm box (Item A) or the control panel (when required).
Page 22 EC7-1050 and EC7-1350 The ON/OFF float’s white wire is connected to the pump’s black wire (“hot” wire). Premier Tech strongly recommends wrapping the white wire with black electrical tape. Close the electrical junction box. Pass the electrical wires arriving from the pumping unit through the groove of the insulation board.
