c. Place power cord so that it rests
on bottom of pond away from
sharp rocks or vegetation so it
can be easily removed without
being damaged or becoming
entangled. Leave enough slack to
accommodate anticipated water
level fluctuations.
NOTE: It is suggested that the
underwater power cables be installed
in conduit from the panel to 4 -5 ft into
the water to prevent possible cable
damage.
4. Before connecting the unit to the
control center, check to insure there
is no leakage to ground. This can be
done by using an ohm meter and
setting the scale to its highest setting
(i.e. Rx100K). Connect one ohmmeter
lead to the unit power cord ground
and to one of the power conductors.
It should read infinite or at least 2
mega ohms. Repeat with the other
conductor. If reading is below 2
mega ohms on either conductor
contact Customer Service Help Line
at 1-800-742-5044.
