Mounting the control panel
1. Determine mounting location for panel. If distance
exceeds the length of either the fl oat switch cables or
the pump power cables, splicing will be required. For
outdoor or wet installation, we recommend the use of a
SJE-Rhombus
®
liquid-tight junction box with liquid-tight
connectors to make required connections. You must
use conduit sealant to prevent moisture or gases
from entering the panel.
2. Mount control panel with mounting fl anges furnished with
control panel.
3. Determine conduit entrance locations on control panel.
Check local codes and schematic for the number of
power circuits required.
NOTE: Be sure the incoming power, voltage, amperage,
and phase meet the requirements of the pump motors
being installed. If in doubt, see the pump identifi cation
plate for electrical requirements.
4. Drill proper size holes for type of connectors being used.
NOTE: If using conduit, be sure that it is of adequate size
to pull the pump and switch cables through. You must
use conduit sealant to prevent moisture or gases
from entering the panel.
5. Attach cable connectors and/or conduit connectors to
control panel.
FOR INSTALLATION REQUIRING A SPLICE,
FOLLOW STEPS 6-10;
FOR INSTALLATION WITHOUT A SPLICE,
GO TO STEP 11.

6. Determine location for mounting junction box according
to local code requirements. Do not mount the junction
box inside the sump or basin.
7. Mount junction box to proper support.
8. Run conduit to junction box. Drill proper size holes for
the type of conduit used. Attach liquid-tight connectors
to junction box.
9. Identify and label each wire before pulling through conduit
into control panel and junction box. Pull pump power
cables and control switch cables through connectors into
junction box. Make wire splice connections at junction
box.
10. Firmly tighten and seal all fi ttings on junction box.
Insure all cable connectors are liquid-tight and sealed.
11. If a junction box is not required, connect pump and
fl oat wires to proper position on terminals. See schematic
inside control panel for terminal layouts.
12. Connect control/alarm and pump power conductors
to proper position on terminals. See schematic inside
control panel for terminal connections.
NOTE: It is the recommendation of the factory to use separate
pump and control/alarm power sources.
VERIFY CORRECT OPERATION OF CONTROL PANEL
AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
