ECOTECH EZ
TM
Variable Speed Motor/Control
CAUTION
!
Voltage to the motor/control shall be
within plus or minus 10% of the nameplate voltage to
avoid overheating and loss of performance.
 All aspects of the installation shall conform to
the applicable requirements of the NEC (National
Electrical Code), including Article 430 (Motor Circuits
and Controllers), as well as all local codes.
 This motor/control should be powered from a
separate circuit of adequate capacity to maintain
sufcient voltage during starting and running
conditions. Wire size shall be adequate to minimize
voltage drop during starting and running. A qualied
or licensed electrician should be used to properly size
the motor/control supply circuit. Reference articles
310 and 400 of the NEC for further information on
wire sizing. A #8 AWG or larger conductor must
be wired to the motor/control ground/bonding lug.
Use #6 AWG in Canada. Wiring, including exible
cords, should be as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop. All electrical connections in this
system must be secure to prevent voltage drop
and localized heating. If AC power is supplied by
a GFCI circuit breaker, use a dedicated circuit that
has no other electrical loads. GFCI use shall be
in accordance with NEC and all other applicable
state,local and National electrical codes.
 Permanent connection of “Hot” supply wires (power
wires that supply voltage) should be from a 2-pole
device (Circuit breaker, relay, timer, etc.) that open-
circuits all hot supply wires when the motor control
is “OFF”. Failure to use a 2-pole device will result
in voltage being present at the motor/control and
potential shock hazard.
 All electrical connections should be made and
maintained by a qualied or licensed electrician.
WARNING
!
Although the ECOTECH EZ
TM
motor/
control is a totally enclosed product, rare circumstances,
such as but not limited to; i.e., motor submersion due
to ood or high pressure water stream aimed directly at
motor, might allow water to inltrate the motor/control. If
this occurs, the unit shall be serviced by a qualied service
person before operating or applying power. Wet internal
components may cause a shock hazard
CAUTION
!
To avoid accidents, make sure equipment
is properly protected to prevent access by children or other
unauthorized personnel.
CAUTION
!
Make sure there are no unusual noises or
vibrations when the motor/control is running. If noise and
vibration are apparent, see the General Troubleshooting
issues on page 25.
WARNING
!
Direct-coupled installations, (such as
pool pump products), require a careful check of shaft
and coupling alignment. Position the motor/control for
proper alignment. Do not depend on a exible coupling
to compensate for misalignment. Do not strike the motor
shaft with a hammer or other tool as this may damage
the bearings.
WARNING
!
Provide proper safeguards for personnel
against rotating parts.
WARNING
!
Become familiar with the equipment and
read all instructions thoroughly before installing or working
on the equipment.
WARNING
!
The control on top of the motor should
NEVER be disassembled for any reason.
CAUTION
!
The User Interface should NEVER be
disassembled from the control for any reason.
NOTICE
!
The ECOTECH EZ
TM
Motor/Control is
properly packaged for shipment and storage in a clean,
dry indoor area.
WARNING
!
Safety glasses should be worn to inspect
the equipment while it is running or while a mallet or
hammer is used, especially if cover plates are removed.
