Page 10 ePump ™ Series Pumps, Installation and Operation ManualWARNINGMake sure that the control switch, time clock, orcontrol system is installed in an accessible location,so that in the event of an equipment failure or aloose plumbing fitting, the equipment can be turnedoff. This location must not be in the same area as thepool pump, filter, and other equipment.CAUTIONThe pump must be permanently connected to adedicated electrical circuit. No other equipment,lights, appliances, or outlets may be connected to thepump circuit, with the exception of devices that maybe required to operate simultaneously with the pump,such as a chlorinating device or heater.3.2.3 Electrical Wiring1. The pump motor must be securely and adequatelygrounded using the green screw provided. Groundbefore attempting to connect to an electrical powersupply. Do not ground to a gas supply line.2. Wire size must be adequate to minimize voltagedrop during the start-up and operation of thepump. See Table 2 for suggested wire sizes.3. Insulate all connections carefully to preventgrounding or short-circuits. Sharp edges onterminals require extra protection. To preventthe wire nuts from loosening, tape them usinga suitable, listed (UL, ETL, CSA) electricalinsulating tape. For safety, and to prevent entryof contaminants, reinstall all conduit and terminalbox covers. Do not force connections into theconduit box.4. Note the LED on the top of the electronics driveenclosure (to the lower left of the ePump label).The LED is lit whenever power is present at themotor, regardless of whether the motor is runningor not.NOTE Since the pump is operated by either an ePumpcontroller (JEP-R), an AquaLink ® RS controller,or an AquaLink ®, Pool Digital Assistant (PDA),the pump will not be turned on until it is turnedon with one of these controllers.3.2 Electrical Installation3.2.1 Voltage ChecksThe correct voltage, as specified on the pump dataplate, is necessary for proper performance and longmotor life. Incorrect voltage will decrease the pump’sability to perform and could cause overheating, reducethe motor life, and result in higher electric bills.It is the responsibility of the electrical installer toprovide data plate operating voltage to the pump byensuring proper circuit sizes and wire sizes for thisspecific application.CAUTIONFailure to provide data plate voltage (within 10%)during operation will cause the motor to overheatand void the warranty.3.2.2 Bonding and Grounding1. The motor frame must be bonded to a reliablegrounding point using a solid copper conductor,No. 8 AWG or larger. In Canada, No. 6 AWG orlarger must be used. If the pump is installed withinfive (5) feet of the inside walls of the swimmingpool, spa, or hot tub, the motor frame must bebonded to all metal parts of the swimming pool,spa, or hot tub structure and to all electricalequipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within5 feet of the inside walls of the swimming pool,spa, or hot tub.2. Bond the motor using the providedexternal lug.WARNINGAlways disconnect the power source before workingon a motor or its connected load.RECOMMENDED MINIMUM WIRE SIZE FOR ePUMP SERIES PUMPS*Distance from Sub-panel 0-50 Feet 50-100 Feet 100 - 150 Feet 150 - 200 FeetModelBranch Fuse AMPSClass:CC, G, H, J, K,RK, or T Voltage Voltage Voltage Voltage230 VAC 208-230 VAC 208-230 VAC 208-230 VAC 208-230 VACJEP2.0 20A 12 10 8 6JEP1.5 20A 12 10 8 6*Assumes three (3) copper conductors in a buried conduit and 3% maximum voltage loss in branch circuit.
