PNEG-1895 V2 Electronic Distributor Control

3. Electrical Installation

Introduction

This section of the manual covers the electrical installation of your GSI electronically controlled distributor
and controller assembly. If your installation is an electronic controller retrofit being installed on an existing
GSI distributor, please begin with Section 6, Retrofit Installation

on Page 40

and return to this section after

completion of mechanical component installation.

Wire and Fitting Selection Requirements

NOTE: The Sensor and VFD cables are supplied in 50' increments for a maximum length of 400'.

The Sensor cable has one unterminated end and one end has a connector. The VFD cable is
unterminated at both ends.

All sensor wiring should be run in its own conduit and this conduit should be kept at least 6" away from
other conduits. Any drain wires from shielded cable should be connected to ground in the panel.

VFD wiring should be run through appropriate conduit and the wiring for the motor must not be run in the
same conduit as the wiring for the sensors.

All conduit and fittings should be outdoor rated to keep things adequately sealed, rigid conduit
is required.

These shielding and conduit requirements must be followed for your GSI Electric Distributor Controller
to function properly. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damage to equipment or
improper operation.
