Power Wiring Connections
NOTE: Consult the product wiring diagram located on the starter enclosure for customized panels.Franklin-Electric-SSP3R-SmartStart-Pump-
Starter-1

  • Wire main power input and motor leads to the appropriate terminals, tightened as indicated in the “Specifications” on page 2.
  • Use only copper conductors rated at least 167 °F (75 °C).
  • Maintain proper clearances and verify that no possibility of an electrical short exists between the power conductors or enclosure.
  • Ensure that wires are not under stress and all insulation is intact.
  • Verify voltage input matches label.
  • Low voltage and automation system wiring should be run in a separate conduit.

I/O Wiring Connections
NOTE: Use 26~14 AWG wire and torque to 3.5 lb-in for control wiring (D3/D4/D5, C-/C+, and T-/TI/T+). Use 20~12 AWG wire for control wiring (D1/D2 and O1/O2).Franklin-Electric-SSP3R-SmartStart-Pump-
