1.) Flex Hose System (Not Shown)-
Connect the flex hose
assembly ,as outlined in specifications ( to include at least but
not limited to, flex hose, shut-off valve, check valve and
fittings), to the pump discharge. Attach lifting rope, chain or
cable to pump handle. Next lower pump into basin and connect
flex hose assembly to discharge coupling on basin. Now
connect power and control (optional) cables to junction box or
control panel depending on the system design.
2.) Stainless Rail Package (Not Shown)-
The package
system comes complete and ready to place into ground as
outlined in the project specifications. The moveable portion of
the BAF, check valve, piping and guide bracket comes
assembled on the pump along with the lifting cable. Insert
pump bracket and moveable portion of BAF into the guide
channel and lower pump into basin
(DO NOT DROP)
. Now
connect power and control (optional) cables to the junction box
or control panel depending on system design.
C-3) Liquid Level Controls:
The level controls are to be supported by a mounting bracket
that is attached to the sump wall, cover or junction box. Cord
grips are used to hold the cords in place on the mounting
bracket. The control level can be changed by loosening the grip
and adjusting the cord length as per the plans and
specifications. Be certain that the level controls cannot hang
up or foul in it’s swing and that the pump is completely
submerged when the level control is in the "Off" mode.
C-4) Electrical Connections:
WARNING!
ALL MODEL PUMPS AND CONTROL PANELS MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED PER THE NATIONAL
ELECTRIC CODE OR CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE,
STATE, PROVINCE AND LOCAL CODES.
IMPROPER GROUNDING VOIDS WARRANTY.
C-4.1) Power Cable:
The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified
in any way except for shortening to a specific application. Any
splice between the pump and the control panel must be made
in accordance with all applicable electric codes. It is
recommended that a junction box, be mounted outside the
sump or be of at least Nema 4 (EEMAC-4) construction if
located within the wet well.
Do not use the power cable to lift
pump!
C-4.2) Control Cable:
The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified
in any way except for shortening to a specific application. Any
splice between the pump and the control panel must be made
in accordance with all applicable electric codes. It is
recommended that a junction box, be mounted outside the
sump or be of at least Nema 4 (EEMAC-4) construction if
located within the wet well.
Do not use the control cable to
lift pump!
C-4.3) Overload Protection:
C-4.3-1) Three Phase (optional)-
The normally closed (N/C)
thermal sensor is embedded in the motor windings and will
detect excessive heat in the event an overload condition
occurs. The thermal sensor will trip when the windings become
too hot and will automatically reset itself when the pump motor
cools to a safe temperature. It is recommended that the thermal
sensor be connected in series to an alarm device to alert the
operator of an over-temperature condition and/or the motor
starter coil to stop the pump. In the event of an
over-temperature, the source of this condition should be
determined and rectified immediately. Thermal protection shall
not be used as a motor overload device. A separate motor
overload device must be provided in accordance with NEC or
CEC codes.
DO NOT LET THE PUMP CYCLE OR RUN IF AN
OVERLOAD CONDITION OCCURS !
C-4.3-2) Single Phase (standard)-
The type of in-winding
overload protector used is referred to as an inherent
overheating protector and operates on the combined effect of
temperature and current. This means that the overload
protector will trip out and shut the pump off if the windings
become too hot, or the load current passing through them
becomes too high. It will then automatically reset and start the
pump after the motor cools to a safe temperature. In the event
of an overload, the source of this condition should be
determined and rectified immediately.
DO NOT LET THE
PUMP CYCLE OR RUN IF AN OVERLOAD CONDITION
OCCURS !
If current through the temperature sensor exceeds the values
listed, an intermediate control circuit relay must be used to
reduce the current or the sensor will not work properly.
