Lag/Alarm Float(s): should be staggered above the Off
and On floats. Try to use most of the available storage pro-
vided by the basin, save some space for reserve storage
capacity. Exact reserve may be called out by local codes.
See Diagrams and Charts in Float Switch Chart Section.
PANEL WIRING DIAGRAMS
Our control panels are shipped with instructions and
wiring diagrams. Use those instructions in conjunction
with this IOM. Electrical installation should be performed
only by qualified technicians. Any problem or questions
pertaining to another brand control must be referred to
that control supplier or manufacturer.
ALARMS
We recommend the installation of an alarm on all Waste-
water pump installations. Many standard control panels
come equipped with alarm circuits. If a control panel is
not used, a stand alone high liquid level alarm is avail-
able. The alarm alerts the owner of a high liquid level
in the basin so they can contact the appropriate service
personnel to investigate the situation.
SINGLE PHASE PUMPS
Single phase (1Ø) pumps may be operated using a
piggyback or in conjunction with, or a Simplex or Duplex
control panel. See Figures 1, 2 and 5.
Most
/
and ½ HP, 115 or 230 volt pumps, and some
1

¾ and 1 HP pumps, are supplied with plug style pow-
er cords. They may be plugged into piggyback float
switches for simple installations. It is allowable to remove
the plugs in order to hardwire or connect to a Simplex or
Duplex controller. Removing the plug neither voids the
warranty nor violates the agency Listings. See Figure 5.

can shock, burn or
cause death.
Pumps with bare lead power cords can be hard-wired to
a float switch, wired to a 1Ø contactor, a Simplex con-
troller or a Duplex controller. Always verify that the float
switch is rated for the maximum run amperage, maxi-
mum starting amperage, and the HP rating on the pump.
Single-phase wastewater pumps contain on-winding
overloads, unless noted on the pump nameplate. See
Figures 1 and 2.
THREE PHASE PUMPS:
As a Minimum a 3Ø pump requires a 3 pole circuit break-
er/fused circuit, an across the line magnetic starter rated
for the pump HP, and ambient compensated Quick Trip
Class 10 overloads.
SINGLE AND THREE PHASE CONTROL PANELS:
Control panels are available as Simplex (controls 1 pump)
or Duplex (controls 2 pumps). Our standard SES Series
Panels are available with many standard features and can
be built with our most popular options. We also custom
build panels which offer many more design options.
Custom control panels are available in many different
configurations. Custom panel quote requests may be
forwarded to Customer Service through any authorized
distributor.
Our duplex panels feature a solid-state printed circuit
board design with standard high level alarm circuits.
Other standard features are: an auxiliary dry alarm con-
tact for signaling a remote alarm and float switch position
indicator lights. Our 3Ø panels have built-in, adjustable,
Class 10 overloads. The adjustable overloads on all our
3Ø panels mean less labor for the installer and no need
to order specific overloads. Most panels are in stock for
immediate delivery without options.
Heat Sensor and Seal Failure Circuit - Some Pumps are
equipped with a seal failure circuit and a Heat sensor. On
standard product the seal failure circuit, if supplied with-
out Heat sensor will have an extra lead from the motor
with two conductors. These leads will be Black and White
and should be connected to the seal failure terminals in
a panel supplied with this option. If a seal failure circuit
and Heat sensor are supplied with the pump there will
be a separate lead with four conductors. For these leads
the connection for seal failure will be Black and Green
and the Heat sensor will be Red and White. The model
1GD/12GDS can be ordered with an optional seal failure
circuit, but most dual seal pumps come with the seal
failure circuit as a standard.
Models with a 4NS/4DWC/4XD/4XWS have a standard
configuration with seal failure and heat sensor. The leads
are in a separate jacket with 5 leads. Black (tagged P1) and
White (tagged P2) should be connected to thermal pro-
tection terminals. The seal fail leads are Red (tagged W1)
and Orange (tagged W2) and should be connected to the
seal fail terminals. The additional lead is Green and should
be connected to Ground. Panels will come equipped with
a wiring diagram designating your connections. Panels
must be ordered with the options for seal failure circuits
and heat sensor circuits, since these panels can also be
used on pumps without the option for these connections
they do not come as standard on most panels.
One additional style of seal failure and heat sensor cir-
cuits is our product sold with models GA(X) / 15GDS(X)
/ 20GDS(X); 2, 3, 4GV(X); 2, 3, 4MV(X); 2, 3, 4, 6MK(X).
These units come with a single lead for power and con-
trols. The conductor will come with 7 leads (previous to
January 2013). Leads For seal failure and heat sensor will
be Orange and Blue. Since these units use a different style
sensor in the pump as well as a different option in the pan-
el the connections require only two leads. After January
2013 the lead colors on the pumps were changed to two
(2) white leads for the seal failure and heat sensor.
Be careful to choose the correct options in the panel
selection for each style pump. Always follow wiring
schematic of the panel. Failure to wire the seal failure and
heat sensor leads correctly may prevent the pump from
running or cause nuisance tripping.
INSTALLATION
Connect the pump(s) to the guide rail pump adapters
or to the discharge piping. Slide rail bases should be
anchored to the wetwell floor.
Complete all wiring per the control panel wiring dia-
grams and NEC, Canadian, state, provincial and/or local
codes. This a good time to check for proper rotation of
the motors/impellers.
DO NOT PLACE HANDS IN PUMP
DANGER
!
SUCTION WHILE CHECKING MOTOR
ROTATION. TO DO SO WILL CAUSE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.
Always verify correct rotation. Correct
rotation is indicated on the pump casing.
Three phase motors are reversible. It is
allowable to bump or jog the motor for a
few seconds to check impeller rotation.
