Chapter 5 – Start-Up Procedure
Station Inspection
Check:
1. Proper burial depth (1 to 4 inches below the hinged cover/transition joint).
2. The ground must be graded away from the unit to prevent the water from
pooling around it.
3. Damage free, leak free.
4. The Equalizer Tube/Power Cable must be hung at the top of the station and
not lay on the core.
5. Electrical shroud must be attached.
6. The Tray Cable must not be exposed outside unit.
7. Check the discharge valve in the station to make sure it is open.
8. Make sure that the supply cable connector beneath the cover shroud is
tightened securely.
Panel Inspection
Check:
1. Proper wiring (see the wiring diagram in the panel).
2. Damage free.
3. Unshielded wires must not be exposed outside of panel.
4. Conduits must be sealed.
5. Test incoming line voltage. If the voltage varies more than 10 percent of
nameplate voltage, do not continue! Rectify the voltage problem.
Voltage, Continuity and Cable Insulation Integrity Test
Refer to the pertinent Voltage and Continuity Tables in either Chapter 3 to perform
voltage and continuity tests. Refer to Chapter 3 for the Cable Insulation Integrity
Test.
Read all meter instructions for safety information, scale setting, and proper
operational procedures.
Always perform continuity checks with the power off! Use your volt meter to assure
that there is no power applied to the pump circuits.
