1.2.3 Storage
If the pump is not installed immediately, it must be stored in a dry and cool place.
1.3 Safety
Personnel who have a pacemaker should not be allowed to work with the magnetic
coupling! The magnetic field is sufficiently strong to affect the operation of a pacemaker.
A safe distance is 1 metre!
Important!
The pump must not be used for other purposes than recommended and quoted for
without consulting SPX Process Equipment’s distributor.
A pump must always be installed and used in accordance with existing national and
local sanitary and safety regulations and laws.
• Always wear suitable safety clothing when handling the pump.
• Anchor the pump properly before start up to avoid personal injury and/or damage to
the pump unit.
• Install shut-off valves on both sides of the pump to be able to shut off the in- and outlet
before service and maintenance. Check to see that the pump can be drained without
injuring anyone and without damaging the environment or nearby equipment.
• Make sure that all movable parts are properly covered to avoid personal injury.
• Do not run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry there is a risk of pump breakdown
caused by generated friction heat. If there is a risk of dry running, install a suitable dry
running protection to avoid serious damages.
• All electrical installation work must be carried out by authorized personnel in
accordance with EN60204-1. Install a lockable circuit breaker to avoid inadvertent
starting. Protect the motor and other electrical equipment from overloads with suitable
equipment. The electric motors must be supplied with ample cooling air.
If the pump is used for easily flammable liquids it is absolutely necessary that the pump
and the pipe system is filled up before start up and during operation. Make sure that no
air occurs in the system. Follow the instructions for start up (see section 4.3).
In environments where there is risk of explosion, motors classified as explosion safe
must be used, along with special safety devices. Check with the governmental agency
responsible for such precautions.
Improper installation can cause fatal injuries.
• Dust, liquids and gases that can cause overheating, short circuits, corrosion damage
and fire must be kept away from motors and other exposed equipment. If the pump
handles liquids hazardous for person or environment, some sort of container must be
installed into which leakage can be led.
• If the surface temperature of the system or parts of the system exceeds 60°C, these
areas must be marked with warning text reading ”Hot surface” to avoid burns.
