Thank you for purchasing your
HYDROMATIC Pump. To help
ensure years of trouble-free
operation,
please
read
the
following manual carefully.
Before Operation:
Read the following instructions
carefully. Reasonable care and
safe methods should be practiced.
Check
local
codes
and
requirements before installation.
Attention:
This manual contains important
information for the safe use of
this product. Read this manual
completely before using this
product and refer to it often for
continued safe product use.
DO NOT THROW AWAY OR
LOSE THIS MANUAL. Keep it
in a safe place so that you may
refer to it often.
WARNING: Before handling
these pumps and controls,
always disconnect the power
first. Do not smoke or use
sparkable electrical devices or
flames in a septic (gaseous) or
possible septic sump.
IMPORTANT: Read all directions
before replacing any parts.

Pump:
The explosion proof submersible
pump family was designed in
accordance with requirements
for hazardous locations. These
pumps, connected properly, will
provide years of trouble-free
service. If servicing is required,
the repair should be done
by a HYDROMATIC approved
service center.
Application:
These pumps are designed for
on-site
residential
sewage
discharge applications with a pH
ranging from 6 to 9, specific
gravities from 0.9 to 1.1,
viscosities ranging from 28 to 35
S.S.U., and temperatures up to
140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Receiving Pump:
Pump should be checked on
arrival for possible concealed
shipping damage. Any damage
should be reported immediately to
delivery carrier. Claims for
damage must originate at the
receiving
end.
Claims
for
shipping damage cannot be
processed at the factory.
Codes:
All local wiring codes must be
observed. Consult the local
inspector before installation
to avoid costly delays that
can occur due to rejection after
job is finished.
Pumps Not Operating or
in Storage:
Pumps with carbon ceramic seals
General
Information
Pump
Warning
must have impellers manually
rotated (6 revolutions) after
setting non-operational for 3
months or longer and prior to
electrical startup.
Seal Failure Probes:
All explosion-proof submersible
pumps have two factory-installed
moisture detectors (seal failure
probes). They are in a normally
open series circuit, in the seal
chamber. Under normal operating
conditions the circuit remains
open. If the lower seal leaks and
moisture enters this chamber, the
moisture would settle to the
bottom of the chamber and will
complete the circuit between the
moisture detectors.
This circuit must be connected to
a sensing unit and signaling
device. This is supplied in a
HYDROMATIC control panel.
NOTE: Failure to install such a
device negates all warranties by
HYDROMATIC pumps.
Heat Sensors:
All motors in this family have
heat sensors on or embedded in
the motor winding to detect
excessive heat. This prevents
damage to the motor. If the sensor
trips due to excessive winding
temperature, the starter in the
panel breaks power to the pump.
Once the sensor resets, the starter
is to be reset (automatic for F.M.)
for continued operation of the
pump. This circuitry is supplied in
a HYDROMATIC control panel.
The sensors are set to trip at 120
degrees Celsius.
NOTE: Failure to install such
circuitry would negate F.M.
approval and all warranties by
HYDROMATIC pumps.
