3.2 Voltage Conversion

Warning: The Model EP-1 Econo Pump is shipped in its 120 V or
220 V version. To operate at other voltages, refer to the procedure
below. Failure to follow this procedure may result in damage to the unit
and invalidation of the warranty.

Prior to connecting the power cord to the power entry module and wall

outlet, verify that the voltage indicated on the power entry module matches
your line voltage. If it does not, use the following procedure to make the
conversion. Refer to Figure 3.2.

1. Disconnect the power cord from the unit.

2. Remove the fuse drawer with a small-blade screwdriver or similar tool.

3. Pull the fuse holder out of the fuse drawer and, if necessary, replace the

fuses with ones having the correct current rating. Use 0.50 A fuses for
100 V and 120 V operation; 0.25 A fuses for 220 V and 240 V operation.
Rotate the voltage selector through the window in the fuse drawer until
the proper voltage shows.

4. Reinsert the fuse drawer into the power entry module, with the locking

tab to the left. The voltage indicator will read right-side-up if the drawer
is oriented correctly. Press gently until it snaps into place.

5. Insert the power cord plug into the power entry module. Plug the power

cord into a properly grounded outlet.
