OM−05170CONTROL BOXES
Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely
install and operate your control box. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to the control box or the pump.
This manual does not include maintenance in­structions. Have a qualified electrician perform all maintenance. Be sure to follow all safety precau­tions as outlined by the National Electric Code and all local codes.
These control boxes are Nema Type 3R rainproof enclosures with padlockable front covers. The en-
closures are not designed to be watertight, and should not be submerged. They are designed for
use with 230, 460, 575 and 380 volts, 3 phase Gor­man-Rupp submersible pumps. The integral elec­tric motor of the submersible pump must be oper­ated through the control box. The control box is not explosion-proof and should not be operated in a hazardous atmosphere.
Because pump installations are seldom identical, this manual cannot possibly provide detailed in­structions and precautions for every aspect of each specific application. Therefore, it is the re­sponsibility of the owner/installer of the pump to ensure that applications not addressed in this manual are performed only after establishing that neither operator safety nor pump integrity are com­promised by the installation. Pumps and related equipment must be installed and operated ac­cording to all national, local and industry stan­dards.
If there are any questions regarding the control box which are not covered in this manual or in other lit­erature accompanying the unit, please contact your Gorman-Rupp distributor or the Gorman­Rupp Company:

GENERAL INFORMATION
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
This section is intended only to summarize recom­mended installation practices for the control box. If there are any questions concerning your specific application, contact your Gorman-Rupp distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.
PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The control box was inspected before shipment from the factory. Before installation, inspect the control for damage which may have occurred dur­ing shipment. Check as follows:
a. Inspect the control box for cracks, dents, and
other obvious damage.
b. Check that all control box components are se-
curely attached to their mounting surfaces, and that the electrical connections are tight and free of corrosion.
c. Compare the amperes, phase, voltage and
hertz indicated on the pump motor nameplate to the ratings indicated for the control box.
Enclosure
The control box is a NEMA Type 3R rainproof enclo­sure with a padlockable front cover. The enclosure
is not designed to be watertight, and should not be submerged.
No mounting hardware is furnished with the con­trol box. Secure the control box vertically on a level surface, above flood level. The control should be mounted on a flat surface. If the mounting surface is not perfectly flat, it may be necessary to use shims (not supplied) with the enclosure.The box should be easily accessible to the operator, and lo­cated close enough to the pump to avoid exces­sive voltage drop due to cable length.
d. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings
on the control box.
If anything appears to be abnormal, contact your Gorman-Rupp distributor or the factory to deter­mine the repair policy. Do not put the control box into service until appropriate action has been taken.
CONTROL BOX INSTALLATION
The control box furnished with the pump is designed to operate the pump. The control box provides overload pro­tection and power control. Do not con­nect the pump motor directly to the in­coming power lines.
Failure to mount the control box vertically on a level surface may affect operation of the pump controls.

CONTROL BOXES
OPERATION − SECTION C
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Follow the instructions on all tags, labels and decals attached to the control box.
The electrical power used to operate this control box is high enough to cause injury or death. Make certain that the tie handle in the control box is in the OFF position and locked out, or that the pow­er supply to the control box has been otherwise cut off and locked out, before attempting to open or service the con­trol box. Tag electrical circuits to pre­vent accidental start-up.

The control box provides overload pro­tection and power control. Do not con­nect the pump motor directly to the in­coming power lines.
Since operation of the pump motor is de­pendent upon the quality and performance of the electrical controls, the pump warran­ty is valid only when controls have been specified or provided by The Gorman­Rupp Company.
Component Function
Obtain the services of a qualified elec­trician to make all electrical connec­tions, and to troubleshoot, test and/or service the electrical components of the control box.
CONTROL BOX FUNCTION
The control box is not designed to be ex­plosion-proof. Do not operate in an ex­plosive atmosphere.
The control box is provided to facilitate operation of the pump. It contains controls for starting and stop­ping the pump, and provides overload protection for the pump motor. The pump control may be equipped with an optional automatic liquid level sensing device, in which case the circuits are also contained within the control box.
The control box contains the following hand-oper­ated switches and controls:
D The tie handle operates the control box cir-
cuit breakers. In the OFF position, the tie handle opens the circuit breakers to inter­rupt incoming power through the control box and prevent pump operation. In the ON position, it closes the circuit breakers to per­mit pump operation. The circuit breakers will open or trip" automatically in the event of a short circuit overload current. When tripped, move the tie handle to OFF and back to ON to reset the circuit breakers.
D The overload unit is also the ON and OFF
switch. The overload relay will trip automati­cally if the current drawn by the motor ex­ceeds design specifications. Allow 10 sec­onds for the unit to cool after tripping before resetting.
NOTE
If the circuit breaker trips, do not reset it immedi­ately. Wait at least ten minutes before resetting the tie handle back to the ON position. If the overload unit continues to trip, operational problems exist.

D The liquid level devices (optional equip-
ment) operate in conjunction with the 3-po­sition switch (HAND-OFF-AUTO) supplied as part of that option. After the level sensors and circuitry have been installed, pump op­eration may be automatically controlled for filling or dewatering functions (see LIQUID LEVEL DEVICES, Section B).
Always terminate incoming power to the control box before investigating control box circuitry prob­lems.
CONTROL BOXES
Always terminate power to the control box before performing service func­tions.
Power through the control box may be terminated by moving the tie handle to the OFF position, there­by opening the circuit breakers. This stops the pump, but does not terminate incoming power through the field wiring connected to the control box.

ELECTRICAL TESTING
Be certain to refer to the wiring diagram(s) in the Installation Section of this manual be­fore reconnecting any electrical compo­nents which have been disconnected.
Test Equipment
A volt/amp/ohmmeter and megohmeter of ade­quate range and quality will be required to conduct the electrical tests. The suggested equipment indi­cated below is commercially available, or an equiv­alent substitute may be used.
Equipment Use
Ammeter/
Voltmeter
Ohmmeter To measure resistance
Voltage Imbalance
Each phase of the incoming three-phase power must be balanced with the other two as accurately as a commercial voltmeter will read. If the phases are out of balance, contact your power company and request that they correct the condition.
To check AC Voltage
and current (amperage)
(ohms) to ground
