The Tuhorse 5HP 230V 1-Phase Deluxe Control Box is designed for use with major North American single-phase submersible motors in deep well pump applications. This control box serves as a compatible replacement for Franklin part# 2821139310, Goulds CB50412MC, and Pentek Sta-Rite SMC-CRP5021.
Key features include a built-in magnetic contactor with a 24V coil, powered by an internal 230V to 24V transformer or an external 24V irrigation controller signal. It provides 24V low voltage pilot power to the pressure switch or float switch, enhancing safety and allowing for thinner gauge wiring. The robust steel casing is NEMA 3 rated for both indoor and outdoor use.

4. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa
Before beginning installation, ensure the main power supply to the pump system is disconnected. This control box is designed for easy integration into existing deep well pump systems.
4.1 Kableatutako konexioak
The control box features terminal strips that accept up to #4 wire. Utilize the provided knockouts for power and pilot signal wiring. The 24V low voltage pilot power circuit allows for the use of thinner gauge wires for control signals, reducing installation complexity and increasing segurtasuna.
- Potentzia sarrera: Connect the 230V AC power supply to the designated terminals (L1, L2).
- Ponparen irteera: Connect the submersible pump motor wires (Yellow, Black, Red) to the corresponding terminals.
- Kontrol-seinalea: Connect your pressure switch, float switch, remote switch, irrigation controller, or timer to the 24V control signal terminals (GND, CONTROL SIGNAL). The contactor coil is powered by an internal 24V transformer, eliminating the need for external power to the pilot control switch.
- Bypass Option: The internal 24V transformer can be bypassed if using an external 24V signal from devices like Rain Bird or Hunter timers/zone controllers.

4.2 Muntaketa
Mount the control box securely in a location that is easily accessible for servicing but protected from direct impact. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. The NEMA 3 rating allows for both indoor and outdoor installation, but protection from extreme weather conditions is recommended to prolong lifespan.
5. Funtzionamendu-argibideak
Once properly installed and wired, the Tuhorse Deluxe Control Box operates automatically based on the signal from your connected pilot control device.
- Piztu: After completing all wiring and ensuring safety, restore power to the control box.
- Pilot Signal Activation: The pump will activate when the connected pilot control device (e.g., pressure switch, float switch, remote switch, irrigation controller, or timer) sends a signal to the 24V control input.
- Ponparen funtzionamendua: The magnetic contactor inside the control box will engage, supplying power to the deep well pump motor.
- Pump Deactivation: The pump will turn off when the pilot control device discontinues the signal.
Baxua amp control current through the pilot switch increases the reliability and lifespan of the control system.
6. Mantentzea
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your Tuhorse Deluxe Control Box. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
- Urteko ikuskapena: At least once a year, with power disconnected, open the control box and visually inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion or wear.
- Garbitasuna: Keep the interior of the control box clean and free from dust, debris, and moisture. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Ingurumena babestea: Ensure the control box remains sealed and protected from excessive moisture or direct sunlight, even with its NEMA 3 rating.
- Osagaien egiaztapena: Periodically check the magnetic contactor for proper operation and any signs of arcing or damage.
7. Arazoak
If you encounter issues with your Tuhorse Deluxe Control Box, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps. Always disconnect power before inspecting internal components.
| Arazoa | Kausa posiblea | Irtenbidea |
|---|---|---|
| Ponpa ez da martxan jartzen | Kutxa kontrolatzeko botererik ez Faulty pilot control switch Kableen konexio solteak Motor gainkarga | Check main circuit breaker and power supply. Test pilot switch for continuity. Inspect and tighten all terminal connections. Check motor for issues; reset any thermal overloads if present. |
| Ponpak etengabe funtzionatzen du | Pilot control switch stuck in ON position Wiring short in control circuit | Inspect and test pilot switch; replace if faulty. Check control signal wiring for shorts or damage. |
| Control box hums but pump doesn't start | Motor arazoa Capacitor issue (if applicable to pump motor) | Consult pump motor manual; check motor windings. Have a qualified technician inspect or replace capacitors. |
If problems persist after following these steps, contact a qualified electrician or Tuhorse customer support.
