ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
CAUTION:
 A qualified electrician should perform electrical connections. Improper electrical wiring can result in damage to
components.
 See Safety Precautions for important information regarding the electrical connections.
 Electrical power requirements to the control panel are 240 volts, 1 phase, 50/60 hertz from a protected circuit and
earth ground. If the incoming voltage is 208 volts, processing time will increase. The equipment will not operate
with incoming voltages (under load) less than 208 volts.
 Electrical connections are made on the rear of the Still. Attach a customer supplied explosionproof circuit box to
the Still’s electrical conduit.
 If a JetVac and/or Little Cooler are used with an LS-15E/55E still, they must be wired independent of the still and
manually started/stopped.
Note: Customer must supply a switch to control a Little Cooler in this case. See the Little Cooler Instruction
Manual for more details.
 System II stills can be electrically connected for automatic operation of a JetVac and/or a Little Cooler, if using a
Little Cooler, a 10-amp contactor (customer supplied) must be used. See electrical connections below!
 Make the connections per the diagrams following:
LSEII – wiring for units without JetVac or Little Cooler
LS15E/55IIE – wiring with JetVac and Little Cooler
LS15E/55IIE – wiring with JetVac
LS JetVac – wiring for LS15E and LS55E
LSJetVac – wiring for LS15IIE and LS55IIE
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
 See Safety Precautions for important information on static grounding.
 A positive earth ground must be provided to help avoid static ignition and must be attached to all equipment,
filling and receiving containers, tanks, personnel, etc. All transfer devices such as piping, hoses, and pumps must
also be grounded.
 Several ground lugs are provided on the right side of the Still and several grounding clamps are provided.
