5. Installation

information for installers

The installation operations must be carried out by qualified and experienced personnel.
Use suitable equipment and protections. Observe the accident prevention regulations in force.

Carefully read the installation limits specified in section 3.1.7

Always refer to the local and/or national regulations, legislation and codes in force relating to the selection of the installation site and the water and power con-
nections.

5.1.1 Position

Make sure that no obstructions or obstacles hinder the normal flow of the cooling air delivered by the motor fan. Provide adequate clearance around the
pump for the maintenance operations. Whenever possible, raise the pump slightly from the level of the floor. Carefully observe the diagrams provided in sec-
tion 10.8.

5.1.2 Anchoring

Please refer to the electric pump manual.

5.1.2.1 Aligning the pump-motor assembly

Please refer to the electric pump manual (section 5.4) and to the manual for the flexible coupling supplied with the electric pump.

5.1.3 Selecting the Suction and Delivery Pipes

Use pipes suited to the pump’s maximum working pressure.

In case of an open circuit, make sure that the diameter of the suction pipe is suited to the installation conditions and that it is not smaller than the diameter
of the suction port. Refer to the illustrations in section 3.1.4.

Refer to the relevant electric pump manual.

5.1.4 Selecting the Foot Valve

Install a foot valve at the end of the suction pipe if the level of the liquid source is lower than the pump’s. Refer to the instructions provided in section 3.1.4.

Refer to the relevant electric pump manual.

5.1.5 Selecting the Electric Control Panel

The motors must be suitably protected against overload and short circuits.

Make sure that the panel’s electric ratings match those of the electric pump. Improper combinations may cause problems and fail to
guarantee the protection of the electric motor.

Avoid the possibility of dry running, i.e. the pump must not run without water inside it. Make sure that the electric panel is equipped with a
dry running protection system to which you must connect a pressure switch or float switch or sensors or other suitable device.

If you use thermal relays, we recommend those that are sensitive to phase failure.

Make sure that the control panel and any control devices are suitable for installation in the selected location (Directive 1999/92/EC –
ATEX 137 regarding the safety and health of personnel who may be exposed to the risk of explosive atmospheres)
