Power-Flo Matrix™ Pump Series Installation Instructions (cont.) Electrical (cont.) Voltage Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage, or motor may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult power company. Grounding/Bonding Install, ground, bond, and wire motor according to local or national electrical code requirements. Permanently ground motor. Use green ground terminal provided under motor canopy or access place; use size and type wire required by code. Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground. Bond motor to pool structure. Use a solid copper conductor, size or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping or conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. Wiring If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before figuring wire and circuit breaker sizes. (NOTE: If unsure how to do this or if this is confusing, consult a licensed electrician). Use the load circuit breaker as the Master On-Off switch. Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will sense a short-circuit to ground and disconnect power before it becomes dangerous to pool users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see manufacturer's instructions. In case of a power outage, check GFCI for tripping, which will prevent normal pump operation. Reset if necessary. NOTE: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor, be sure to seal wire opening on end of motor to prevent dirt, bugs, etc., from entering. New Installation - Start-Up & Operation Prior to Start-Up Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. NEVER operate the pump without water. Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal. WARNING - NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and flooding. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor. CAUTION - Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty. CAUTION - Before removing strainer cover: 1. STOP PUMP before proceeding. 2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes. 3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
