1. It is recommended that the unit be connected to the power supply via a suitably 6 amps isolating switch 4 WARNING When the unit is connected to the 115 volt power supply and the cover is opened high voltage circuits will be exposed Therefore when installing the unit ensure all required connections are made and the cover is attached to the controller box before turning the power on Ensure that all the connections are secure If any maintenance work is required ensure that the unit is isolated from the power supply before removing the cover Never leave the unit unattended if the cover has been removed and the power supply is connected 5 Do not exceed unit ratings of 2 15 amps 1 6 HP or 245 Watts pump 6 It is advisable to route power cables away from sensor cables ensor installation Temperature sensors may be installed in fluid lines by mounting in a tee or strapping it to the piping directly For the system to function correctly it is very important that the sensors are located and installed properly Make absolutely sure that they are pushed completely into the optional sensor pockets Thermowell is not supplied Sensors must be well insulated in order to prevent them from being influenced by the ambient temperature When used outdoors no water should be allowed to get into the immersion sleeves lasting impedance change Generally sensors should not be exposed to moisture e g condensation as this can diffuse through the c2. be mounted at the eye level and wired as shown above 4 Undo the four screws at the corners of the housing The control electronics are mounted on the enclosure cover Using proper fixing the controller enclosure can be screwed to the wall with cable entry grommets downwards Caution Controller wiring should only be done when the unit is not energized It is possible to damage the control unit if it is assembled under voltage Miniaturized terminal blocks are used for making wiring connections The wire is held in place within the terminal with a screw that provides excellent contact without damage to the wire Cable Connection A small blade screwdriver may be used to fasten miniaturized terminal block screws while the corresponding wire is inserted Use up to an 18 AWG stranded wire to connect the sensor cables to the unit The KS terminal should be connected to the collector sensor higher temperature the BS terminal is designated for the return sensor lower temperature ower Connections A small blade screwdriver may be used to fasten miniaturized terminal block screws while the corresponding wire is inserted NOTE 1 Always disconnect the controller from power supply before opening the housing NOTE 2 The controller should be properly grounded Flexible wires 18 3 AWG gauge conductor simplify connection to the terminals The power terminal block will accommodate wire sizes to 14 AWG All other connections should be secured an
