SYSTEM AND PUMP/DISPENSER WIRING
System/Peripheral Equipment: AC Power for the system
components must come from a separate, dedicated circuit
breaker. No other equipment, including the system’s pumps or
dispensers, should be powered from this breaker. Whenever
possible, one breaker should be used to supply the system,
terminal, and modem. However, if necessary, the terminal or
modem may be on a different separate, dedicated breaker. The
power supplied from these breakers must be on the same
phase of power.
Power: 115 VAC + 10% 47-63 HZ, 135 watts maximum.
Power conditioner: Required with unstable power sources.
Voltage regulator/back up power supply: Required for retail
applications. The voltage regulator/backup power supply
must be located within 50 feet of the Series 1000.
Pulsers: Reed (contact closure) type pulsers require two wires
per pulser. Electronic pulsers require three wires per pulser.
See Pulser Wiring later in this document for wire size and
specifications.
Wire Size: Use the chart below as a guide in selecting the
proper size wire according to the specific installation
requirements for motor wiring. Always use stranded wire.
SUCTION PUMPS
The Series 1000 System is capable of directly driving pump
motors up to 3/4 HP at 115 VAC or 230 VAC. A starter relay
must be used with pump motors over 3/4 HP. A separate
circuit breaker should be supplied with each pump to meet the
current requirements and to allow for isolated control with the
circuit breaker in case of problems.
The AC wire size for a suction pump is dependent upon the
HP rating of the pump motor, the voltage at which the pump
will be operated (115/230), and the distance from the circuit
breaker panel to the pump. The wire size for the switch detect
from the pump should be 14 AWG.
