Installation
Pre-installation
Equipment that will operate in a potentially explosive environment must be installed in
accordance with the following instructions.
Precautions
WARNING:
•
When installing in a potentially explosive environment, ensure that the motor is
properly certified.
•
All equipment being installed must be properly grounded to prevent unexpected
discharge. Discharge can cause equipment damage, electric shock, and result in serious
injury. Test the ground lead to verify it is connected correctly.
NOTICE:
• Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all
international, national, state and local regulations.
• Supervision by an authorized ITT representative is recommended to ensure proper
installation. Improper installation may result in equipment damage or decreased perfor-
mance.
Pump location guidelines
Guideline
Explanation/comment
Keep the pump as close to the liquid
source as practically possible.
This minimizes the friction loss and keeps the suction piping
as short as possible.
Make sure that the space around the
pump is sufficient.
This facilitates ventilation, inspection, maintenance, and ser-
vice.
If you require lifting equipment such as a
hoist or tackle, make sure that there is
enough space above the pump.
This makes it easier to properly use the lifting equipment and
safely remove and relocate the components to a safe
location.
Protect the unit from weather and water
damage due to rain, flooding, and freezing
temperatures.
This is applicable if nothing else is specified.
Do not install and operate the equipment
in closed systems unless the system is
constructed with properly-sized safety de-
vices and control devices.
Acceptable devices:
• Pressure relief valves
• Compression tanks
• Pressure controls
• Temperature controls
• Flow controls
If the system does not include these devices, consult the
engineer or architect in charge before you operate the pump.
Take into consideration the occurrence of
unwanted noise and vibration.
The best pump location for noise and vibration absorption is
on a concrete floor with subsoil underneath.
If the pump location is overhead, under-
take special precautions to reduce pos-
sible noise transmission.
Consider a consultation with a noise specialist.
