The following procedure outlines the steps for connecting
the pump to a control box.

Each submersible pump is designed to
work with a control box.This control box
contains the necessary electronics (float
switch connections) to operate the pump.
Remember this control box contains
hazardous voltages. Disconnect all sources of power
before installing or servicing. There exists the possibility
of electrocution, electric shock or burn, which can cause
severe bodily harm or even death!

Each pump is either configured for 230 or 460 VAC voltage
input. Reference Table 1 for the correct input voltage for
your pump.
If you cannot determine what your pump's power
requirements are, look at the vendor supplied identification
name tag attached to the pump or please contact Multiquip's
Service/Technical Assistance department.

When routing the 230/460 VAC, 60 Hz., 3-phase power
via a power cord to the control box,  use the
correct wire size. Please refer to Table 5 to determine the
correct wire size. Incorrect wire size can adversely affect
the performance of the pump and may ultimately burn out
the pump motor.

Applying incorrect power (voltage phasing) to the
submersible pump can cause severe damage to the
pump. Please make sure that the correct voltage and
phase are applied to the pump at all times.
