5 Installation at Site
5.1 Safety Regulations
Electrical equipment operated in hazardous loca-
tions must comply with the explosion protection reg-
ulations. This is indicated on the motor rating plate.
If the equipment is installed in hazardous locations, the ap-
plicable local explosion protection regulations and the reg-
ulations of the test certificate supplied with the equipment
and issued by the responsible approval authorities must
be observed and complied with. The test certificate must
be kept close to the location of operation for easy access
(e.g. foreman’s office).
5.2 Checks to be Carried out Prior to Installation
All structural work required must have been prepared in ac-
cordance with the dimensions stated in the dimension
table / installation plan.
The concrete foundations shall have sufficient strength
(min. B 15) to DIN 1045.
Make sure that the concrete foundation has set firmly before
placing the unit on it. Its surface shall be truly horizontal and
even.
5.3 Installing the Pump/Unit
After placing the unit on the foundation, align it with the help of a
spirit level placed on the shaft/discharge nozzle. The correct
distance between the coupling halves as specified in the instal-
lation plan must be observed. Shims shall be fitted between the
baseplate/foundation frame and the foundation itself; they shall
always be inserted to the left and right of the foundation bolts
and in close proximity to these bolts. For a bolt-to-bolt clearance
of more than 800 mm, additional shims must be inserted half-
way between the adjoining holes. All shims must lie perfectly
flush.
Fig. 5.3-1: Fitting required shims
Tighten the foundation bolts evenly and firmly.
Baseplates up to 400 mm wide made of channel section steel
are torsion-resistant in their own right and need not be grouted.
After fastening, baseplates more than 400 mm wide made of
folded steel plate must be grouted up to the upper edge via the
holes Ø 120 mm) in the folded plate, using low-shrinkage
concrete.

5.3.1 Aligning the Pump/Drive
After fastening the baseplate on the foundation,
the coupling must be thoroughly checked and the
pump set be realigned (at the motor), if required.
Prior to checking the alignment/realignment, loosen support
foot 183 and re-tighten without transmitting any stresses or
strains.
Coupling check and realignment must be effected even if pump
and motor are supplied completely assembled and aligned on a
common baseplate.
Motors with adjusting screw:
In order to realign the coupling, first loosen the 4 hex. head bolts
on the motor as well as the lock nuts.
Turn adjusting screw by hand or by means of an open-jawed
wrench until the coupling alignment is correct. Then re-tighten
the 4 hex. head bolts and the lock nuts.
Motors without adjusting screw:
Differences in height between the pump axis and the motor axis
must be compensated by fitting suitable bases. If the pump axis
and the motor axis have the same height, both the pump and
the motor are mounted directly on the baseplate. To realign the
coupling, loosen the four hex. head bolts at the motor. Align-
ment is adjusted by fitting suitable sheet metal bases ZN 9
under the motor feet until alignment is correct.
Then re-tighten the four hex. head bolts.
