SPD 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 to phase and phase to ground; verify if the incoming voltage is single or three phase 230 or
460 volt supply. Models SPD2XXXXF require 230V input voltage. Models SPD4XXXXF 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 continu-
ous 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 downstream of last check valve in
system. Do not install the pressure transducer or pressure
tank where freezing can occur.
If pressure transducer is placed
8
in grounded metal piping,
disconnect the drain wire in the
pressure transducer cable from
the controller chassis.
Step 7: Pre-charge bladder tank to 20
psi below your system pressure. Tank capacity should be
at least 20% volume of max
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.

NOTE: FOR SINGLE PHASE INPUT, CONNECT L1 AND L3, THEN SET MOTOR
OVERLOAD SWITCHES TO 50% OF CONTROLLER RATING OR LOWER.
Step 9: Factory pressure setting is
50psi 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.
