Startup/shutdown of a mzr-pump
8.1
Preparing for operation
After the liquid supply system had been completed, please check once again
the operating conditions of the micro annular gear pump as according to the
following points:
−
Are the inlet and outlet tubes correctly connected?
−
Is the entire liquid supply system clean - that means free of particles, foreign
bodies, pollution or swarf?
−
Has a filter been installed on the suction side?
−
Has a sufficient amount of the right liquid been supplied?
−
The pump does not run the risk of a dry operation?
−
The entire liquid supply system has been checked for leakage?
−
Is it possible to stop the pump by an emergency switch if an unexpected
malfunction occurs at the startup?
8.2
Startup of the micro annular gear pump
Switch on the voltage supply. The micro annular gear pump can now be put
into operation by turning on the potentiometer knob or by sending a nominal
external voltage signal.
Start the filling in of the pump at low or middle speed (1000 - 3000 rpm).
Starting the pump in dry condition might lead to damage of functional
components of the pump. Therefore, it is necessary to have the pump primed
(prefilled), and also in further operation please ensure a continuous supply of
liquid. Dry running of the pump has to be avoided.
The user is liable for damages caused by, any consequence with the non-
compliance of this instruction.
8.3
Re-start after dry run
After a short dry run (it is assumed that the pump is not yet damaged), you
must ensure that the pump has cooled down to a temperature below its
maximally allowed surface temperature. The pump and the pipes must be
completely primed and filled.
Re-starting is prohibited after a longer dry run. The pump must be dismounted
to check for damage and any damaged parts replaced. The pump may only be
operated again after complete priming and filling and the restoration of the
earth.
