Mounting Procedure; Wiring Connections - Franklin Electric SubDrive Solar Manuel D'installation

Mounting Procedure

1. Disconnect all electrical power supply.
2. Install the unit to a secure post using 1/4" (6 mm or M6) mounting screws (not included).
The top mounting holes are slotted in order to hang the drive in place, while the bottom
fasteners are inserted to secure the unit from ever sliding up.
3. If the mounting surface is narrower than the outer mounting slots, use the top center
and bottom center mounting holes and secure using 3/8" (8 mm or M8) mounting screws
(not included).

WARNING
!
Serious or fatal electrical shock may result from failure to connect the ground terminal to
the motor, the SubDrive Solar controller, metal plumbing, and all other metal near the motor,
or cable to a proper earth ground in accordance with local codes, using wire no smaller than
motor cable wires. To minimize risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on
or around the SubDrive Solar system. Do not use motor in swimming areas.
CAPACITORS INSIDE THE SUBDRIVE SOLAR CONTROLLER CAN STILL HOLD LETHAL VOLTAGE
EVEN AFTER POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. ALLOW 5 MINUTES FOR DANGEROUS
INTERNAL VOLTAGE TO DISCHARGE BEFORE REMOVING SUBDRIVE SOLAR COVER.
The SubDrive Solar controller is not protected against a "bolted" short-to-ground at the motor
cable terminals. Ensure that the motor leads have been checked for a possible short-to-ground
BEFORE operating the drive.
1. Verify that the power has been shut off.
2. Remove the SubDrive Solar lid.
3. Remove the bottom gland plate from the SubDrive Solar enclosure and drill or punch the
necessary-sized holes for the appropriate cord grips or conduit fittings to feed through.
(Do not attempt to drill holes with the gland plate on the enclosure. Damage could occur
to internal electronics, or metal shavings could short out electronics inside the drive).
4. Use appropriate strain relief or conduit connectors. For NEMA 3 (IP 55), Type B liquid-tight
fittings are recommended for maximum weather protection.
5. Make the appropriate wiring connections in the following instructions and install per all
applicable local and national codes.
a. Select wire gauge based on code recommendations for the maximum operating currents
listed in Table 7, page 29. Verify that any protection devices, such as fuses or circuit
breakers, are appropriately sized and installed per local and national code.
6. Replace the gland plate on the bottom of the enclosure. Do not over-tighten the screws.
a. Torque screws to 1.7 N-m (15 in-lbs).
7. Replace the cover. Do not over-tighten the screws.
a. Torque screws to 1.7 N-m (15 in-lbs).
b. NOTE: DO NOT SHIFT, CUT, OR DAMAGE THE SEALS WHEN REPLACING THE GLAND
PLATE AND COVER. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION AND
LOSS OF NEMA AND IP RATINGS.
NOTE: Ensure that the system is properly grounded. Improper grounding may result in the loss
of voltage surge protection and interference filtering.
