IDX MX-8

Does the green wire on 1 look correct here? Shouldn't it be on 2 (earth ground)? Foam brush is working, but I'd like to make sure it's properly connected. Thanks in advance, and I'm going to clean it up...and get away from extension cords.

If the green wire is one of the 24V "common" wires from a bay, it's wired correctly. In fact, if it works, it's wired correctly.

That looks better than most of my work

I hope your work looks better than this:

That exposed blue spade to the right is 120V live. Whoever did that used 22 gauge multiconductor wire, 4 strands for 120V hot to the pump, 4 for common and 4 for ground to a Procon pump. The MX8 is dangling from a piece of coat hanger poked through a hole in the board.

trs246810, this is what your MX-8 set up should look like when you’re done. I installed this MX-8 probably 25 years ago and it hasn’t missed a beat. Installed it in a 30amp disconnect switch can for spray protection, pulled out the guts and mounted the MX-8 inside.

I love it!

thanks...it has worked for years. I did clean the wiring up this week. I have so much to learn...I feel like okay at replacing things wire for wire...but not understanding as much as I should past that.
