NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND
MUST BE FOLLOWED.
THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY
WORK ON THIS PUMP.
MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.
All electrical work must be performed
by a qualified technician. Always follow
the National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian
Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial
codes. Code questions should be directed to your local
electrical inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and
OSHA safety standards may result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer’s
installation instructions may result in electrical shock, fire
hazard, personal injury or death, damaged equipment,
provide unsatisfactory performance, and may void manufacturer’s warranty.
Standard units are not designed for use in
swimming pools, open bodies of water,
hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist. These
fluids and gases may be present in containment areas.
Tank or wetwell must be vented per local codes.
Only pumps specifically Listed for Class 1, Division 1
are allowable in hazardous liquids and where flammable
gases may exist. See specific pump catalog bulletins or
pump nameplate for all agency Listings.
Disconnect and lockout electrical power
before installing or servicing any electri-
cal equipment. Many pumps are equipped
with automatic thermal overload protection which may
allow an overheated pump to restart unexpectedly.
All three phase (3Ø) control panels for
submersible pumps must provide
Class 10, quick-trip, overload protec-
tion.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage. Report
any damage to your supplier or shipping carrier immediately.
Important: Always verify that the pump nameplate Amps,
Voltage, Phase and HP ratings match your control panel
and power supply.
Many of our sewage pumps are oil-filled. If there are any
signs of oil leakage or if the unit has been stored for an
extended period check the oil level in the motor dome
and the seal housing, if so equipped.
Check the motor cover oil level through the pipe plug on
top of the unit. The motor chamber oil should just cover
the motor. Do not overfill, leave room for expansion!
To check the seal housing oil level, where used, lay the
unit on its side with the fill plug at 12 o’clock. Remove
the plug. The oil should be within ½” (13mm) of the top.
If low, refill with an ASTM 150 turbine oil. Replace the
plug.
You can source oil locally at motor repair shops. Typical oil brands are: Shell Turbo 32, Sunoco Sunvis 932,
Texaco Regal R&O 32, Exxon Nuto 32 and Mobil DTE
Light.
Check the strain relief nut on power cable strain assemblies. Power cables should be torqued to 75 in. lbs. for
#16 cables and 80 in. lbs. for all other cable assemblies.
Seal/heat sensor cables, where used, should be torqued to
75 in. lbs.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting
pumps and controls to an incorrect power source (voltage/phase supply).
Record the model numbers and serial numbers from the
pumps and control panel on the front of this instruction
manual for future reference. Give it to the owner or affix
it to the control panel when finished with the installation.
LIFTING OF PUMP
DO NOT LIFT, CARRY OR HANG
PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL
CABLES. DAMAGE TO THE
ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN CAUSE
SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.
Lift the pump with an adequately sized chain or cable attached to the lifting eye bolt. DO NOT damage electrical
and sensor cables while raising and lowering unit.
OPTIONAL GUIDE RAIL
OR LIFT-OUT SYSTEM
In many effluent and sewage basins or lift stations it is
advisable to install the pump on a guide rail system or on
a lift-out adapter to facilitate installation and removal for
inspection and/or service. Most codes do not allow personnel to enter a wetwell without the correct protective equipment and training. Guide rails are designed to allow easy
removal of the pump without the need for entry into the
wetwell or need to disturb piping. The guide rail or liftout adapter should locate the pump opposite the influent
opening preventing stagnate areas where solids can settle.

WARNING
Hazardous
voltage
WARNING
WARNING
The basin or pit must be capable of supporting the weight
of the pump and guide rail. The pit floor must be flat.
NOTICE: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT
ARE PROVIDED WITH THE GUIDE RAIL
ASSEMBLY.
PIPING
Discharge piping should be no smaller than the pump
discharge diameter and kept as short as possible, avoiding
unnecessary fittings to minimize friction losses.
Install an adequately sized check valve matched to the
solids handling capability of the pump to prevent fluid
backflow. Backflow can allow the pump to spin backwards and may cause premature seal, bearing, shaft wear.
If the pump is turning backwards when it is called on to
start the increased torque may cause damage to the pump
motor and/or motor shaft.
Install an adequately sized gate valve AFTER the check
valve for pump, plumbing and check valve maintenance.
Important – Before pump installation. Drill a 3⁄16”
(4.8mm) relief hole in the discharge pipe. It should be
located within the wetwell, 2” (51mm) above the pump
discharge but below the check valve. The relief hole allows any air to escape from the casing. Allowing liquid
into the casing will insure that the pump can start when
the liquid level rises. Unless a relief hole is provided, a
bottom intake pump could “air lock” and will not pump
water even though the impeller turns.
All piping must be adequately supported, so as not to
impart any piping strain or loads on the pump.
The pit access cover must be of sufficient size to allow for
inspection, maintenance and crane or hoist service.
WIRING AND GROUNDING
Important notice: Read Safety Instructions before
proceeding with any wiring.
Use only stranded copper wire to pump/motor and
ground. The ground wire must be at least as large
as the power supply wires. Wires should be color
coded for ease of maintenance and troubleshooting.
Install wire and ground according to the National
Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian Electrical
Code, as well as all local, state and provincial codes.
Install an all leg disconnect switch where required
by code.
Disconnect and lockout electrical power before
performing any service or installation.
The electrical supply voltage and phase must match
all equipment requirements. Incorrect voltage or
phase can cause fire, motor and control damage,
and voids the warranty.
All splices must be waterproof. If using splice kits
follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Select the correct type and NEMA grade
junction box for the application and location. The junction box must insure dry,
safe wiring connections.
Seal all controls from gases present which
may damage electrical components.

SELECTING AND WIRING
PUMP CONTROL PANELS AND SWITCHES
FLOAT SWITCH TYPES
There are two basic float switch designs; single-action
and wide-angle. Single-action switches operate over a
range of 15º so they open and close quickly. Wide-angle
floats operate over a 90º swing with the tether length between the float body and the pivot point controlling the
On-Off range. The design determines how many floats
are required with different systems or controls.
Floats may be normally open (NO) for pump down
applications or to empty a tank. Normally closed (NC)
switches are used to pump up or to fill a tank.
A single-action control switch may be used only with a
control panel, never direct connected to a pump.
The wide-angle, pump down switches may be used as
direct connected pump switches or as control switches.
SETTING THE FLOAT SWITCHES
There are no absolute rules for where to set the float
switches, it varies from job to job.
Suggested Rules to Follow:
All floats should be set below the Inlet pipe!
Off Float: Best: set so free hanging the water level is
always above the top of the pump (motor dome). Next
Best: set so the water level is not more than 6" below the
top of the pump.
On Float: set so the volume of water between the On and
Off floats allows pumps of 1½ HP and under to operate
for 1 minute minimum. Two (2) HP and larger pumps
should run a minimum of 2 minutes. Basin technical
brochure states the gallons of storage per inch of basin
height.
Lag/Alarm Float(s): should be staggered above the Off
and On floats. Try to use most of the available storage
provided 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 Wastewater 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 available. 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 piggy-
back or in conjunction with, or a Simplex or Duplex control

panel. See Figures 1, 2 and 5.
Most 1/3 and ½ HP, 115 or 230 volt pumps, and some ¾
and 1 HP pumps, are supplied with plug style power 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.
Pumps with bare lead power cords can be hard-wired to a
float switch, wired to a 1Ø contactor, a Simplex controller
or a Duplex controller. Always verify that the float switch
is rated for the maximum run amperage, maximum 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 breaker/
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 contact 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 without
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
PLUG-CONNECTED UNITS MUST
BE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY
GROUNDED, GROUNDING TYPE
RECEPTACLE.
ON NON-PLUG UNITS, DO NOT
REMOVE CORD AND STRAIN RELIEF.
DO NOT CONNECT CONDUIT TO
PUMP.
White (tagged P2) should be connected to thermal protection 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 circuits
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 controls.
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 panel 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 diagrams
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
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. It is
easier to check rotation before installing the pump. Switch
any two power leads to reverse rotation.
Lower the pump(s) into the wetwell.
Check to insure that the floats will operate freely and not
contact the piping.
OPERATION
Once the piping connections are made and checked you can
run the pumps.
Piggyback Switch Operation – Plug the piggyback switch
into a dedicated grounded outlet and then plug the pump
into the switch. Test the pump by filling the wetwell until
the pump goes On. If the pumps run but fail to pump, they
are probably air locked, drill the relief holes per the instructions in the Piping Section.
Check the operating range to insure a minimum one minute
run time and that the pump goes Off in the correct position.
Control Panel Operation – Fill the wetwell with clear water.

Place Control Panel switch(es) in Automatic position and
thoroughly test the operation of the ON, OFF, and Alarm
floats by filling the wetwell with clear water. Important:
Failure to provide a Neutral from the power supply to a
1Ø, 230 volt Control Panel will not allow the panel control
circuit to operate. The Neutral is necessary to complete the
115 volt control circuit.
Check voltage and amperage and record the data on the
front of this manual for future reference. Compare the amperage readings to the pump nameplate maximum amperage. If higher than nameplate amperage investigate cause.
FLOAT SWITCH AND PANEL CHART
The purpose of this chart is to show the required switch
quantities and the function of each switch in a typical
wastewater system. The quantities required vary depending on the switch type, single-action or wide-angle.
Switch quantities also vary by panel type: simplex with
and without alarms, and duplex with alarms.
Duplex Panels using single-action switches:
Three Float Panel Wiring
SW1 Bottom Pumps Off
SW2 Middle 1st Pump On
SW3 Top 2nd Pump & Alarm On
Operating the pump off the curve, i.e. with too little head
or with high or low voltage will increase amperage. The
motor will operate properly with voltage not more than
10% above or below pump nameplate ratings. Performance
within this range will not necessarily be the same as the published performance at the exact rated nameplate frequency
and voltage. Correct the problem before proceeding. Three
phase unbalance is also a possible cause. See Three Phase
Power Unbalance and follow the instructions.
Reset the Alarm circuit, place pump switch(es) in the Automatic position and Control Switch in ON position. The
system is now ready for automatic operation.
Explain the operation of the pumps, controls and alarms to
the end user. Leave the paperwork with the owner or at the
control panel if in a dry, secure location.

THREE PHASE POWER UNBALANCE
A full three phase supply consisting of three individual
transformers or one three phase transformer is recommended. “Open” delta or wye connections using only
two transformers can be used, but are more likely to
cause poor performance, overload tripping or early motor failure due to current unbalance.
Check the current in each of the three motor leads and
calculate the current unbalance as explained below.
If the current unbalance is 2% or less, leave the leads as
connected.
If the current unbalance is more than 2%, current readings should be checked on each leg using each of the
three possible hook-ups. Roll the motor leads across the
starter in the same direction to prevent motor reversal.
To calculate percent of current unbalance:
A. Add the three line amp values together.
B. Divide the sum by three, yielding average current.
C. Pick the amp value which is furthest from the average
current (either high or low).
D. Determine the difference between this amp value
(furthest from average) and the average.
E. Divide the difference by the average. Multiply the
result by 100 to determine percent of unbalance.
Current unbalance should not exceed 5% at service
factor load or 10% at rated input load. If the unbalance
cannot be corrected by rolling leads, the source of the
unbalance must be located and corrected. If, on the three
possible hookups, the leg farthest from the average stays
on the same power lead, most of the unbalance is coming
from the power source.
Contact your local power company to resolve the imbalance.
