Motor Cooling, Temperature
and Time Ratings
All 4 inch CentriPro motors may be
operated continuously in water up to
86º F. Optimum service life will be
attained by maintaining a minimum
ow rate past the motor of .25 feet per
second. Use a Flow Sleeve if velocity
is below the .25'/sec, if the well is top
feeding or when the pump is used in a
large body of water or large tank.
Six (6) inch canned design motors from
5 – 40 HP will operate in water up to
95º F (35º C), without any de-rating of
horsepower, with a minimum ow rate of
.5 ft./sec. past the motor. 6" – 50 HP and
all 8" – 10" motors can operate in 77º F
(25º C) water with .5'/sec velocity past
the motor.
One way to make a ow sleeve is to install a well seal
above the pump discharge and slip a piece of casing
over the pump and afx it to the well seal. Drill three
holes at 120º intervals on the lower section of the casing
and insert (3) screws and nuts through the casing, just
touching the motor. Tighten the nuts out against the
casing. Insure that the screws do not protrude out too
far as you don’t want them catching on well joints.
FLOW SLEEVE
TYPICAL SYSTEM
Pump Cooling and Lubrication
In addition to motor cooling, another reason to
maintain minimum ow rates is pump lubrication. All
manufacturers’, either on curves or in selection charts,
show minimum ows. This insures that rotating pump
parts are properly lubricated to prolong service life and
reduce friction. A dead headed pump will super heat
water very quickly, and hot water has no lubricity.

The Amprobe is a multi-range, combination
ammeter and voltmeter.
1. When used as an ammeter, the tongs are
placed around the wire being measured
with the rotary scale on the 100 amp range. Then rotate the scale back to the
smaller ranges until an exact reading is
indicated.
2. When used as a voltmeter, the two leads are
clipped into the bottom of the instrument
with the rotary scale on the 600 volt range.
If the reading is less than 150 volts, rotate
the scale to the 150 volt range to get a more
exact reading.
12
The Ohmmeter is used for measuring the
electrical resistance of a wire circuit. The unit of
measurement is called an Ohm.
1. The knob at the bottom of the Ohmmeter is
adjustable through six ranges:
RX1 = R x 1
RX10 = R x 10
RXRXRXRX
= R x 100
100
= R x 1,000
1000
= R x 10,000
10K
= R x 100,000
100K
If your ohmmeter
is digital readout
type, refer to the
instructions that
came with it.
2. The round center knob is for the purpose of
adjusting the instrument to zero (0) after
clipping the two ohmmeter leads together.
This must be done every time the range
selection is changed.

resistance to ground. It consists of a crankturned magneto, on the side of the case, and
will give very close readings calibrated directly in ohms. It is cranked at a moderate rate
of speed, approximately 120 rpm, until the
pointer reaches a steady deflection.
1. If the ohm value is normal, the motor
windings are not grounded and the cable
insulation is not damaged.
2. If the ohm value is below normal, either the
windings are grounded or the cable insulation is damaged. Check the cable at the well
seal as the insulation is sometimes damaged
by being pinched.

To size wire, the voltage drop of each wire segment must be used and the total
must not exceed 100%.
Example: a 1.5 HP motor, 100' from Service Entrance to Controller (1Ø wire)
and 500' from Controller to Motor (3Ø wire).
• Service Entrance to Controller = 100' of # 10 (100/455) = 22 % (455' from
230V 1Ø chart)
• Controller to Motor = 500' of # 12 (500/709) = 71 % (709' from the 3Ø chart)
• 71% + 22% = 93 %; See Balanced Flow Bulletin or IM182 for more info.

1. Be sure that recess for seal seat and surface
where guide vane mounts on motor adapter
are entirely free of all scale and dirt.
2. Clean motor shaft.
JET PUMPS
3. Apply lm of light oil, such as vegetable oil,
to the recess of the motor adapter and the
neoprene bushing before installing the new
seal seat. This is a tight t, but it must go in
all the way evenly, or a leak will result. Do not
mar lapped face of this seal. The slightest scar
or particle of dirt will cause a leak.
4. Bolt motor adapter to motor, making sure the
motor shaft does not dislocate the stationary
seal member.
5. Assemble rotating member of seal on motor
shaft. Rotating seal face must t snugly
against lapped seal face of stationary
member in casing cover. This is accomplished
by pushing with a piece of tube against back
end of neoprene washer after oiling sleeve
and shaft. Be sure rotating seal face does not
drop out of holding collar while sliding the
rotating members of the seal on the shaft.
Also, take extra care that the rotating seal face
is not marred during handling.
6. While holding the shaft against rotating, screw
impeller on shaft by hand until tight against
shoulder of motor shaft.
7. Replace guide vane, making sure that bore
of guide vane does not bind impeller hub. If
screws used, tighten alternately and evenly.
Check by turning the motor shaft. If binding
occurs, loosen screws, readjust guide vane
until impeller hub turns freely, then tighten
screws as before. Some jets have snap-in
guide vane.

8. Replace diaphragm gasket with opening in
the upper position.
9. Replace guide vane seal ring on guide vane
hub.
10. Make sure all gasket surfaces are clean.
Replace pump casing.
11. Tighten casing bolts alternately and evenly.
12. After reassembling pump, check to be sure
impeller rotates freely.
13. Reconnect tube between pressure switch
and casing cover or control valve.
14. Close all drain openings, using pipe joint
compound or teon tape on threads of
plugs.
15. Prime according to Priming Instructions.

A vacuum gauge indicates total suction lift
(vertical lift + friction loss = total lift) in inches
of mercury. 1" on the gauge = 1.13 ft. of total
suction lift (based on pump located at sea
level).
RULE OF THUMB
Practical suction lift at sea
level is 25 ft. Deduct 1 ft. of
suction lift for each 1,000 ft. of
elevation above sea level.
Shallow Well System
CHECKING SUCTION LIFT
Install vacuum gauge in shallow well adapter.
See opposite page. When pump is running,
the gauge will show no vacuum if the end of
suction pipe is not submerged or there is a
suction leak. If the gauge shows a very high
vacuum (22 inches or more), this indicates that
the end of suction pipe is buried in mud, the
foot valve or check valve is stuck closed or the
suction lift exceeds capability of pump.
High Vacuum (22 inches or more)
• Suction pipe end buried in mud
• Foot valve or check valve stuck closed
• Suction lift exceeds capability of the pump
88
Low Vacuum (or 0 vacuum)
• Suction pipe not submerged
• Suction leak
Compound Vacuum
Pressure Gauge
This gauge will show
the pressure or vacuum
at any position in a
pump or system where
it is installed.
A reading of 20" on a vacuum gauge placed
on the suction side of the pump would tell
you that you have a vacuum or suction lift
of 22.6 ft.

When pump is rst started or under maximum
ow condition, pressure control should
be immediately adjusted to the pressure
corresponding to H.P. and jet assembly used.
See rating tables in catalog for proper pressure
setting.
1. Turn left to reduce pressure.
2. Turn right to increase pressure.
RULE OF THUMB
If pressure control valve is set too high,
the air volume control will not function.
If pressure control valve is set too low,
the pump may not shut off.
PRESSURE CONTROL VALVES
To Adjust Pressure Control Valve:
1. Close pressure control valve.
2. Open faucet in house.
3. Turn pump on.
4. As pump picks up its prime, the pressure will
begin to rise on the gauge.
5. Turn adjusting screw to set pressure control
valve to pressure recommended in catalog.

Correct rotation is a must on all 3Ø
installations. Rotation can be checked by
one of these three ways:
Visual 1
1. Connect 3 motor leads to starter, run unit at
open discharge.
2. Switch any 2 leads and again run unit at
open discharge.
3. Largest quantity of water indicates correct
rotation.
Visual 2
1. Remove water end from meter. Run motor
and observe rotation
Pressure
1. Connect 3 motor leads to starter. Run unit
against closed discharge, take maximum
pressure reading.
2. Switch any 2 leads and again run unit
against closed discharge. Take maximum
pressure reading.
3. Highest pressure reading indicates correct
rotation.

THREE PHASE UNBALANCE
Current readings in amps should be checked on
each leg using the three possible hookups.
CAUTION
!
To prevent changing motor rotation, the
motor leads should be reordered in the
same direction, see example on page 53.
RULE OF THUMB
If the unbalance moves with the motor
leads the unbalance is caused by the
motor, wet splice, or damaged cable. If
the unbalance remains with the terminals
the unbalance is in the power supply.
92
Calculate percentage of current unbalance for
all three hookups.
Add up all three readings for hook up number 1.
T1 = 51 Amps
T2 = 46 Amps
+T3 = 53 Amps
Total 150 Amps
Divide the total by three to obtain the average.
50 Amps = Average
3 150 Amps
Calculate the greatest amp difference from the average. Could be greater than average.
50 Amps
-46 Amps
4 Amps
Divide this difference by the average to obtain the
percentage of unbalance.
.08 or 8%
50 4.00 Amps
Hook Up #1 = 8%
Hook Up #2 = 4%
Hook Up #3 = 2%
Always use hook up with lowest % current unbalance.
Loads on a transformer bank vary. Readings should be
taken at peak load period.
What It Means –
1. Hook ups below 5% = system balanced.
2. Hook ups not below 5% – if the unbalance moves with
the motor leads the unbalance is caused by the motor,
wet splice, or damaged cable. Check the motor on
pages 44-45. If the unbalance remains with the terminals the unbalance is in the power supply – contact
power company.
THREE PHASE UNBALANCE
93
A full 3Ø supply is recommended for all 3Ø
motors, consisting of three individual transformers
or one 3Ø transformer. “Open” delta or wye connections using only two transformers can be used,
but are more likely to cause problems from current
unbalance.
Transformer ratings should be no smaller than
listed in the table for supply power to the motor
alone.

S-Drive Quick Start Up Guide
Step 1: Mount drive on secure wall or support beam using 4 screws.
Ensure drive is well ventilated. Leave at least 8” of free space
around the controller for cooling. Plug conduit holes not
used.
Step 2: Measure site voltage phase-phase and phase-ground; verify
incoming voltage is 1Ø or 3Ø 230V, or 3Ø 460V. make sure
all phase-ground voltages are equal. Models SPD2XXXX(F)
require 230V input voltage. Models SPD4XXXX(F) require
460V input voltage.
Step 3: Provide a dedicated fused disconnect (item #2 above) or
circuit breaker rated for drives input amps. No other equipment should be used for this disconnect. Use fast acting
class T fuses.
Step 4: Connect wire from input power supply to L1, L2, L3 and
GND. NOTE: For single phase supply power, wire to L1 and
L3 and adjust overload switches for 50% of drive current
rating. Ensure you have a solid ground from the building or
site. Ensure the ground is continuous between the service
entrance and the controller. Ensure there is at least 8” between the input wires and any other wires.
Step 5: Ensure you have a three phase motor. Connect motor leads
to T1/U, T2/V, T3/W and GND. Ensure the ground is continuous between the controller and the motor. For CentriPro
motors, connecting T1/U to Red, T2/V to Black and T3/W
to Yellow will give the correct rotation. To change rotation,
swap any two motor leads T1/U, T2/V or T3/W. Ensure there
is at least 8” between the output wires and any other wires.
Step 6: Plumb pressure transducer in straight piece of pipe down-
stream of last check valve in system. Do not install the pressure transducer or pressure tank where freezing can occur.
If pressure transducer is placed in grounded metal piping,
disconnect the drain wire in the pressure transducer cable
from the controller chassis.
Step 7: Pre-charge bladder tank to 10-15 PSI below your system
pressure. Tank capacity should be at least 20% volume of
maximum pump GPM.
Step 8: Set the Motor Overload Setting Switches. Choose a setting
that is equal to or less than the motor’s SFA rating.
Step 9: Factory pressure setting is 50 PSI when used with a 300PSI
transducer. Press and hold INC or DEC button to adjust pressure while pump is running. Ensure drive goes into stand-by
mode (solid green light/pump off) to save pressure setting.
NOTE: Do not connect power to CONTROL TERMINALS. Connect
only non-powered switch contacts to these terminals.
