techniques used during wiring/installation do not
increase electromagnetic emissions or decrease the
electromagnetic immunity of the equipment, wiring or
any connected devices. If in any doubt contact
Flowserve for advice.

4.9.4

The motor must be wired up in

accordance with the motor manufacturer's
instructions (normally supplied within the terminal
box) including any temperature, earth leakage,
current and other protective devices as appropriate.
The identification nameplate should be checked to
ensure the power supply is appropriate.

4.9.5

A device to provide emergency stopping

must be fitted.
4.9.6 If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit, the
controller/starter electrical details will also be
supplied within the controller/starter.
4.9.7 For electrical details on pump sets with
controllers see the separate wiring diagram.

4.9.8

See section 5.3, Direction of

rotation before connecting the motor to the electrical
supply.

4.10 Protection systems

The following protection systems are

recommended particularly if the pump is installed in
a potentially explosive area or is handling a
hazardous liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve.

If there is any possibility of the system allowing the
pump to run against a closed valve or below
minimum continuous safe flow a protection device
should be installed to ensure the temperature of the
liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.

If there are any circumstances in which the system
can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a
power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or
prevent it from being started. This is particularly
relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid.

If leakage of product from the pump or its associated
sealing system can cause a hazard it is
recommended that an appropriate leakage detection
system is installed.

To prevent excessive surface temperatures at
bearings it is recommended that temperature or
vibration monitoring are carried out. See sections
5.7.4 and 5.7.5.


5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP,
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN

These operations must be carried

out by fully qualified personnel.

5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure

5.1.1 Lubrication
Determine the mode of lubrication of the pump set,
eg grease, oil, product lubrication etc.

For oil lubricated pumps, fill the

bearing housing with correct grade of oil to the
correct level, ie sight glass or

constant level oiler

bottle.

When fitted with a constant level oiler, the bearing
housing should be filled by unscrewing or hinging
back the transparent bottle and filling the bottle with
oil. Where an adjustable body Trico oiler is fitted this
should be set to the proper height.

The oil filled bottle should then be refitted so as to
return it to the upright position. Filling should be
repeated until oil remains visible within the bottle.

Approximate oil volumes are shown in section 3.4.2,
Pump and impeller data.

Grease lubricated pumps and electric motors are
supplied pre-greased.

Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should
be lubricated in accordance with their manuals.

In the case of product lubricated

bearings the source of product supply should be
checked against the order. There may be
requirements for an external clean supply, particular
supply pressure or the commencement of lubrication
supply before pump start-up.
