5. Installation instruction
The product described in the installation instruction
may only be installed, operated, maintained, and
repaired by qualified experts. Qualified experts are
persons who have been trained, instructed, and
familiarized with the end product into which the
described product is installed. These persons are
considered capable of such tasks due to their
education, training, and experience with valid
standards, conditions, accident prevention regula-
tions, and operating measures. They are entitled to
carry out the required tasks and to recognize - and
thus avoid - any dangers that might otherwise
occur.
A definition of what constitutes a qualified person
and information on the prohibition on allowing
work to be carried out by unqualified personnel are
stipulated in DIN VDE 0105 and IEC 364.
Before assembling/positioning the product, remove
the packaging material and any transportation
safety devices such as sealing plugs. Keep the
packaging material until you are sure that there
are no delivery discrepancies that need to be
clarified.
The product must not be tipped up or
dropped.
Regional accident prevention regulations and the
operating and maintenance instructions of the
operator must be observed when carrying out all
assembly work on machines.
5.1 Positioning and mounting
Immersion pumps, type PXA and PXK, are
designed for vertical installation inside the medium
container. If you need a pump that can be installed
in a different position, please contact your pump
supplier.
Before installing the pump, remove packing
materials and transport safety devices (e.g. blind
plugs in the intake and pressure connections).
The pump must be transported only by means of
the transport eyes.
If an intake pipe has been ordered, it is supplied
separately and must be screwed seal tight into the
conical thread in the intake housing before the
pump is installed. Select the sealing material in
harmony with the operating conditions and
temperatures.
When installing the intake pipe, ensure that the
sealing material does not enter the interior of the
pump or the pipe.
To allow installation of the pump on the container
housing, the pump has a 4-hole installation flange
with standard dimensions (see specifications).
When selecting the installation site, ensure
sufficient space for installation, cabling, inspection
and ventilation. The distance between the air
intake of the motor and walls, components etc.
must be at least ¼ of the diameter of the air intake
opening. The air flow direction is from the air
intake opening to the pump.
