    Section 1 NOTE: Read sections 2 and 3 carefully before attempting to install this pump. Improper installation will void your warranty. SOLARJACK’S SDS SERIES DC SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS SOLARJACK’S SDS SERIES PUMPS are positive displacement, low voltage, DC powered, submersible pumps. Constructed of high quality marine bronze and stainless steel, these pumps were designed for corrosion free service in clean potable water.
  • Page 3 2.lb Connect the drop pipe, safety rope, and sand shroud (if used) to the pump. Splice the drop wire to the motor lead and stretch it all out on the ground. See the wire splicing instructions in section 2.3 (Be careful not to get any dirt inside the drop pipe when stretching it out on the ground).

    2.2g Remove the blanket from the panels and turn the switch on. If there is good sunlight the pump will start operating. 2.3 WIRE SPLICING 2.3a Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket insulation back 1-1/2” on the pump end and 2-1/2” on the incoming power end. (The insulation on the outer jacket of the long side is stripped back just enough to allow the smaller shrink tube to fit over the inner wire and allow the compression sleeve to be installed).
  • Page 5 2.4e Return the panels to their normal position. The pump will then operate at its maximum output. 2.5 ELECTRODE INSTALLATION (OPTION) 2.5a With the pump and pipe stretched out on the ground and before installation into the well, (refer to step 2.1b) cut the electrode wire to the desired lengths and install all three E1-S electrodes in the proper locations.
  • Page 6 highly recommended that all pumps be installed with sand shrouds for maximum pump protection. 3.le Due to the aggressive action of DC power, it is essential that the wire splice at the pump be made correctly. This splice must be watertight. Improper sealing of this splice will cause poor pump performance and may cause damage to the controller.
  • Page 7 4.ld Check for a broken wire leading to the pump. 4.le Check to see if the water level is above the top electrode, if the low water cut-off circuit is being used. (Turn dip switch #5 off and switch #6 on to bypass the low water cut-off circuit.) 4.lf Check for an open motor winding.

    4.4 DECREASED PUMP OUTPUT 4.4a Check for a plugged suction screen. (Pull the pump and clean the screen). 4.4b Check for holes in the drop pipe. 4.4c Check for a restriction in the drop pipe. 4.4d Check to see if the water level in the well has dropped lower than normal or below the pump.
