1. Product Overview
The Quick Disconnect Control Box was designed to work 12" and 16" GSI Series II Sweeps.This Quick
Disconnect Control Box modular design will allow you to move the control box to each sweep location,
therefore only one control box is needed to control all of the same size sweeps. Each sweep location
will require a docking station for the control box base to slide into. The control box base is supplied with
four (4) handles for manual lifting. These handles can be installed in any of the holes located on the
outside edges of the base back plate. The base back plate also has two (2) chain lift holes for
mechanical hoisting.
Figure 1A
Never attempt to lift the control box by yourself. Always use two (2) or more
persons with proper lifting equipment.

Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The
motor disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply with the National
Electrical code and any local codes which apply. Reset and motor starting
stations should be located so the operator can see that all personnel are clear
of the equipment.

PNEG-1366 12" and 16" Series II Sweep Quick Disconnect Control Box Kit 17
NOTE: The horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain. High moisture grain
(greater than 15%) will require greater power for maximum capacity. The maximum capacity will
be less with high moisture grain than with dry grain.
Sweepdriveandcarrierwheels requireplatesortrackoveraerationflooringfor travelandsupports
not supplied with the sweep unit. Contact your installer or flooring provider for possible source
and details.
2. A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting and stopping. It should stop
the motor in case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor
overload. The motor must be restarted manually. Some motors have built-in thermal overload
protection. If this is the type of motor being used, use only those with a manual reset.
3. The motor starting controls must be located outside the bin. They must NEVER be installed on the
Series II auger inside the bin.
4. Disconnect and lock out the power before resetting motor overloads.
5. Disconnect and lock out the power before entering the bin.
6. Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment.
7. Position the reset and motor starting controls so that the operators have full view of the equipment.
8. Make sure electric motors are grounded.
There should ALWAYS be two (2) people in the work area.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
should be used. The disconnect must be locked in the off position before
unplugging either end of the cord. It should also be locked whenever work is
being done on the Series II Sweep. This has been integrated into the control panel
after June of 2010.

5. Assembly
Docking Station Mount
Securely mount the docking station outside of the bin near the bin door. Figure 5A shows the hole pattern
and diameter. The docking station must be close enough to the bin door to plug in the 10' long foot switch
cord. The operator must be outside of the bin and be able to depress the foot switch while visually
monitoring the sweep through the bin door.
Figure 5A Docking Station
The control panel must be mounted outside the bin near the door. The foot switch
has to be plugged into the control panel and depressed before the sweep is
operational. It has a 10' cord so the sweep can only be monitored from outside
the bin.

NOTE: The Series II Sweep has used different control boxes. The quick disconnect kit will fit either style
box. Hardware is provided to mount an older style box (with ears) to the mounting plate. The new
style box already has hardware installed in the rear of the box.
1. Cut a hole into the side panel of the control box in the location shown in Figure 5B. Hole to be sized
for 1-1/2" rigid conduit (approximately 1.900"). Make sure all metal chips/shavings are removedfrom
the inside of the box.

1. Remove the lock nut from the conduit hub. The conduit hub is factory installed on the conduit
assembly attached to the back base assembly.
2. Carefully inset the conduit hub, with wires, into the hole drilled during Step 1 on Page 19.
3. Install the lock nut on the hub and tighten.
4. Mount the control box to the back plate with the supplied hardware.
5. Use the supplied grounding lug (E160-1137) to properly ground the control box assembly to
the outlet.
