This symbol indicates a potential risk of electrical nature
2 GENERAL INFORMATION:
The CONTROL BOX® series control panels are produced per single phase rated loads up to a maximum of 20A nominal (230V).
3 DESCRIPTION:
CONTROL BOX® in the standard version comes supplied with the following functions:
- Connection and disconnection directly in line (DOL);
- Overload protection.
3.1 OPERATIONS:
CONTROL BOX® has been designed to operate connected to submerged and surface electric pumps, but may be used with any
asynchronous electric motor.
The overload protection is done by a manual switch with the maximum operating current written on the CONTROL BOX® cover.
4 HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Make sure that the unit has not undergone any damage during shipment and that is still in its original packaging without penetration of water
or humidity. Store the unit in a dry and aerated place.
5 INSTALLATION:
Check to make sure that the rating place data (power/size and voltage)are correct as ordered and that they are compatible
with the load/motor that the CONTROL BOX® must control.
Plug off the CONTROL BOX® control box in order to guarantee the maximum safety of the operator that will have to work on
it.
Before the CONTROL BOX® has to be installed a Short-circuit protection.
CONTROL BOX® should be installed, if possible, in the shade, as near as possible to the motor, in an upright position and
making sure that the cable clamps are in the bottom position.
The container is rated IP55, but protection is guaranteed only if installation is correct.
5.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
Caution!: The electrical connection must be made exclusively by specialised technical personnel.
Caution!: In the event of an existing system, make sure that the load connection is compatible with the CONTROL BOX®
connection.
In particular, make sure that the cable is of a suitable cross section for the motor breakaway starting current and in single-
phase installations, that the capacitor is suitable for the motor to be installed.
A reduced cable section could cause dangerous overheating and, apart from dangerous voltage drops, damage to the actual
system.
Caution!: Make sure to make the ground connection carefully using a yellow-green cable of the same section as the
cable used for the connection of the phases.
The failure to perform a correct ground connection can create serious risk to the operator.
The control box connection has to be made as per the diagram stuck inside the CONTROL BOX® and verifying that the right
capacitor is fitted for the motor.
