WARNING
!
Serious or fatal electrical shock may result from failure to connect the ground terminal to the motor, the Fhoton™ Drive, 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 Fhoton™
Drive system. Do not use motor in swimming areas.
CAPACITORS INSIDE THE FHOTON™ DRIVE CAN STILL HOLD LETHAL VOLTAGE EVEN AFTER POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. ALLOW FIVE
MINUTES FOR DANGEROUS INTERNAL VOLTAGE TO DISCHARGE BEFORE REMOVING FHOTON™ DRIVE COVER.
The Fhoton™ Drive 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 Fhoton™ Drive lid.
3. Use appropriate strain relief or conduit connectors. For NEMA 4 (IP 66), Type B liquid-tight fittings are recommended for
maximum weather protection. Must be provided in accordance with all applicable national and local electrical codes.
4. 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 23. Verify
that any protection devices, such as fuses or circuit breakers, are appropriately sized and installed per local and national code.
5. Replace the cover. Do not over-tighten the screws.
a. Torque screws to 6 in-lbs. (0.68 Nm).
NOTE: Ensure that the system is properly grounded. Improper grounding may result in the loss of voltage surge protection and
interference filtering.
