3. Lower the pump into the sump.
4. Place the pump on the base and make sure it cannot fall over or sink.
Alternatively, the pump can be suspended with a lifting chain just above the sump
bottom. Make sure that the pump cannot rotate at startup or during operation.
5. Connect the motor cable and the starter and monitoring equipment according to the
separate instructions.
Make sure that the impeller rotation is correct. For more information, see
Check the
impeller rotation (page 30).

General precautions
Electrical Hazard:
• A certified electrician must supervise all electrical work. Comply with all local codes and
regulations.
• Before starting work on the unit, make sure that the unit and the control panel are
isolated from the power supply and cannot be energized. This applies to the control
circuit as well.
• Leakage into the electrical parts can cause damaged equipment or a blown fuse. Keep
the end of the motor cable above the liquid level.
• Make sure that all unused conductors are insulated.
• There is a risk of electrical shock or explosion if the electrical connections are not
correctly carried out or if there is fault or damage on the product.
WARNING:
Do not install the starter equipment in an explosive zone unless it is explosion-proof rated.
CAUTION:
If the pump is equipped with automatic level control and/or internal contactor, there is a
risk of sudden restart.
Requirements
These general requirements apply for electrical installation:
• The supply authority must be notified before installing the pump if it will be connected
to the public mains. When the pump is connected to the public power supply, it may
cause flickering of incandescent lamps when started.
• The mains voltage and frequency must agree with the specifications on the data plate.
If the pump can be connected to different voltages, then the connected voltage is
specified by a yellow sticker close to the cable entry.
• The fuses and circuit breakers must have the proper rating, and the pump overload
protection (motor protection breaker) must be connected and set to the rated current
according to the data plate and if applicable the cable chart. The starting current in
direct-on-line start can be up to six times higher than the rated current.
• The fuse rating and the cables must be in accordance with the local rules and
regulations.
• If intermittent operation is prescribed, then the pump must be provided with
monitoring equipment supporting such operation.
• If stated on the data plate, then the motor is convertible between different voltages.
