OM−04461 CONTROL BOXES
PAGE I − 1 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely
install and operate your control box. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or damage to the
control box or the pump.
This manual does not include maintenance in-
structions. Have a qualified electrician perform all
maintenance. Be sure to follow all safety precau-
tions as outlined by the MSHA schedule 2G regula-
tions.
The control box is a NEMA Type 10, MSHA certified
enclosure. The enclosure is not designed to be
watertight, and should not be submerged. It is
designed for use with 460 and 575 volts, depend-
ing on your pump. The integral electric motor of the
submersible mine pump must be operated
through the control box. The control box is explo-
sion-proof when properly sealed and may be oper-
ated in a hazardous atmosphere.
Because pump installations are seldom identical,
this manual cannot possibly provide detailed in-
structions and precautions for every aspect of
each specific application. Therefore, it is the re-
sponsibility of the owner/installer of the pump to
ensure that applications not addressed in this
manual are performed only after establishing that
neither operator safety nor pump integrity are com-
promised by the installation. Pumps and related
equipment must be installed and operated ac-
cording to all national, local and industry stan-
dards.
If there are any questions regarding the control box
which are not covered in this manual or in other lit-
erature accompanying the unit, please contact
