Disclaimer:
Products in this specification manual must by regulation be installed by licensed and registered trade people. The manufacturer/distributor
reserves the right to vary specifications or delete models from their range without prior notification. Dimensions and set-outs listed are
correct at time of publication however the manufacturer/distributor takes no responsibility for printing errors.
INSTALLATION
1. Locating the Pump
Using the handle at the top of the pump, connect a nylon rope (provided) or a stainless steel cable suitable to sustain it’s weight. Anchor the
other end of the rope or cable so that it balances the weight of the pump as it rests in it’s final position at the base of the tank/pit/well.
2. Power Source
If the pump is being installed in a permanent position arrange for an electrician to install a 10A weatherproof outdoor power point near the pump
if there is not one there already.
3. Suction
Ensure that the float switch can move freely within the tank/well/pit and cannot become trapped.
The V150 should be positioned on a hard surface that is elevated from the base of of the tank/pit/well. This is to ensure that pumped water is free
of sediment which may be present at the base.
4. Discharge
It is advisable to fit a check valve on the discharge piping to prevent fluid from re-circulating when the pump has stopped.
If you are using a hard discharge pipe, thred this into the outlet of the pump housing. If you are using a flexible discharge hose, use hose clamps
to secure this to the fitting provided.
The length and diameter of the discharge hoses/pipes will affect the pressure and flow rate at which your pump operates. Pressure ratings of all
components must exceed the maximum pressure of the pump by an appropriate safety factor. All pipe work should be supported independently
of the pump.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
In accordance with AS 3350.2.41 we are obliged
to inform you that this pump is not to be used by
children or infirm persons and must not be used as a
toy by children
The pump must be supplied by an outlet protected
by a residual current device or earth leakage circuit
breaker with a maximum rated residual current of
30mA
The pump is supplied with a standard Australian 10 Amperes plug and cord. Connection to the power supply is a matter of inserting the plug into
the suitable power point.
Before plugging the power supply cord into the power point, ensure that the power supply cord is supported by the delivery pipes at 3 meter
intervals.
The pump will operate when the float is higher than level and stop when the pump float is in the low position.
Supply voltage outside limits specified in Model Data can cause motor overheat leading to overload tripping, reduced component life or seriously
damage pump and voids warranty.
For additional protection, the pump must be supplied from an outlet protected by a residual current device – RCD (also known as an Electrical
Leakage Circuit breaker – ELCB) with a maximum rated residual current of 30mA.
