RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. The Electric Heat Pump must be installed by a
WARNING
licensed or certified electrician or a qualified service professional in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which
could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause
damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the heat pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the heat pump.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service people, pool users, or others due to
electric shock and/or property damage.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.

3.5 Electrical Wiring

All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with all
applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electric
Code® (NEC®). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot
verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. The unit must
be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a
ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should
be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The
GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power
should be restored. The GFCI is defective if the GFCI fails
to operate in this way. If the GFCI interrupts power to the
pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current
is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Stop
using this pump. Disconnect the pump and ask a qualified
professional to correct the problem before using.
The pump accepts 230V, 50, or 60Hz single phase input
power. The terminal block connections are capable of
handling up to 12AWG solid or stranded wire. There are
also fast-on type quick connectors, however, check the local
electrical codes for the desired connection method. The
connections must be permanently made to the grounding
terminal (see Figure 4) in the field wiring compartment
according to the local electrical code.
The drive will operate on 2-phase Line-Line-Ground
electrical systems as well as Line-Neutral-Ground systems.
This pump must be permanently connected by a circuit
breaker as specified in the local electrical code.
To connect the electricity, you must unscrew the two screws
under the front panel, then slide the electric cable through
the knock out located on the left or the right side of the
base, and then insert it in the control box.
WARNING:RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off
before wiring motor. Always wait five (5) minutes after
disconnecting the power from the pump before opening or
servicing the drive.
Installation & Operation Manual
2.
Choose a wire size for the pump in accordance with the
current National Electrical Code and all applicable local
codes and ordinances. When in doubt use a heavier gauge
(larger diameter) wire. Be sure the wiring voltage is within
the operating range.Be sure all electrical connections are
clean and tight.
3. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they do not overlap
or touch when connected to the terminal board.
4. Use the correct wire size and type specified by the current
National Electrical Code.
