Informació de seguretat
ADVERTÈNCIA: PERILL DE DESCARGA ELÈCTRICA.
- Always disconnect all power to the control box and pump motor before attempting any installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Failure to do so can result in severe injury or death.
- Installation and service must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
- Ensure proper grounding of the control box and pump motor.
- Do not operate the pump or control box if any components are damaged.
- This control box contains capacitors that can store electrical charge even after power is disconnected. Exercise caution when handling internal components.
Configuració i instal·lació
Proper installation is critical for the safe and efficient operation of your submersible pump system. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the control box and adhere to all applicable electrical codes.
- Muntatge: Select a dry, accessible location for mounting the control box. Ensure it is protected from direct weather exposure and physical damage. Use appropriate fasteners to secure the box firmly to a stable surface.
- Desconnexió d'alimentació: Before making any electrical connections, ensure that the main power supply to the pump circuit is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker or fuse panel. Verify with a voltage provador.
- Connexions de cablejat:
- Connect the incoming power supply (230V, single-phase) to the designated terminals within the control box.
- Connect the 3-wire + ground submersible motor leads to the corresponding terminals (typically L1, L2, and Ground for power, and R, Y, B for motor windings). Ensure correct phase rotation if applicable, though for single-phase, this refers to matching the motor leads to the correct capacitor/relay connections.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Use appropriate wire gauges as specified by electrical codes and the pump motor manufacturer.
- Posada a terra: Connect the system ground wire to the designated grounding terminal within the control box.
- Tancament del recinte: Once all connections are made and verified, securely close the control box cover.
- Restauració d'energia: Restore power to the circuit only after all installation steps are complete and verified.

Instruccions de funcionament
The control box operates automatically in conjunction with your pump's pressure switch or other control devices. It provides the necessary starting components and overload protection for the submersible motor.
- Once properly installed and powered, the control box will energize the pump motor when a demand for water is detected (e.g., pressure switch closes).
- The control box includes an overload protector. If the pump motor draws excessive current, the overload protector will trip, shutting off power to the motor to prevent damage.
- To reset the overload protector, locate the reset button (typically labeled "OVERLOAD RESET" or similar) on the exterior or interior of the control box. Press the button firmly. If the overload trips repeatedly, investigate the cause before continuous resetting.
Manteniment
Regular inspection can help ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your control box.
- Inspecció visual: Periodically inspect the control box for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure the cover is securely closed.
- Neteja: Keep the exterior of the control box clean and free of dust or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Internal Inspection (by qualified personnel only): If internal inspection is required, ensure power is disconnected. Check for signs of overheating, such as discolored wires or components. Verify that capacitors are not bulging or leaking.
Resolució de problemes
Before attempting any troubleshooting, ensure power is disconnected. If you are unsure about any step, contact a qualified electrician or pump technician.
