Tools and Materials Needed

Eaton XTJP Jockey Pump Controller
Mounting hardware (anchors, bolts)
Drill and bits
Screwdrivers
Conduit and fittings
Wire strippers and cutters
Multimeter
Pressure transducer (if not pre-installed)

1. Unpacking and Inspection

Inspect the controller for any physical damage during shipping.
Verify that all components and manuals are included.

2. Mounting the Controller

Select a location close to the pump and accessible for maintenance.
Wall-mount using appropriate hardware.
Ensure mounting height complies with NFPA 20 (minimum 12” above floor).

3. Electrical Connections

Verify power supply matches voltage/phase on nameplate.
Install conduit to meet code requirements.
Connect power to L1/L2/L3 (or L1/L2 for single-phase), ground properly.
Connect motor leads to T1/T2/T3 terminals.
Tighten all connections securely.

4. Pressure Transducer Installation

Locate the ¼" NPT female port at the bottom of the enclosure.
Install the pressure transducer if not pre-installed.
Ensure water lines are clean and system pressure is within spec.

5. Initial Power-Up and Configuration

Turn power on after verifying all connections.
Set HOA switch to “OFF” before startup.
Check motor rotation by switching to “HAND.” Reverse any two leads if incorrect.
Set overload relay to match motor FLA.

6. Programming the Controller

Enter programming mode using instructions from the manual.
Set the following parameters:
- Start Pressure: Pressure at which pump starts.
- Stop Pressure: Pressure at which pump stops.
- Minimum Run Time: Prevents short cycling.
Save all settings before exiting.

7. Final Checks and Testing

Simulate a drop in pressure to test operation.
Verify alarm functions respond appropriately.
Document all settings and test results.
