Operating & Maintenance
AV & EV Booster Sets
8). Installation
➢
Use the appropriate lifting equipment to handle the booster set,
DO NOT
use the eyelets on
the motors to for this purpose.
➢
Prior to installation the booster set should be thoroughly checked for any damage during
transportation and reported immediately to KGN Pillinger and not installed.
➢
The pressure booster set requires install in a ventilated, dry frost-free position, allowing 0.5m
clearance on all sides and front to enable general maintenance.
➢
The pressure set should be installed on a level structurally sound surface, with the anti-
vibration mounts having free movement.
Protection against Dry Running
➢
KGN offer as an extra the option to protect against running the booster set dry and causing
catastrophic damage to the set.
➢
Using a low voltage relay. Where applicable, this should be wired to a float switch or
electrodes in the suction break tank.
Joining Pipe Work
➢
The connection pipework must be adequality sized and well supported to not cause stress
on the booster set manifolds.
➢
All pipe work should match or be greater than the diameter of the manifold.
➢
Pipework should be flushed out before connecting the unit.
➢
Connect the suction and discharge manifolds to the suction supply tank and rising main.
➢
Verify that all pipe joints are sealed and water tight to prevent leaks.
Electrical Connections
➢
Connect incoming *electrical mains supply to the panel and low voltage connections to the
low water cut off device.
➢
The incoming supply must be sized to carry the motor full load current of all pumps
(as all can be in operation at any one time).
➢
All electrical connections are to be made against the relevant product wiring diagrams
See page 12 of this manual for further product specific details.
➢
All electrical connections should be sized, installed and protected in accordance with the
requirements of the latest safety standards and any other current local rules and regulations.
➢
Ensure the cable & fuse/MCB protection is suitably rated.
➢
It’s essential that this equipment is earth bonded to the building earth system.
The weight of the booster set and associated pipework increases
when they are filled with water.
All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrical
in accordance with all local regulations and standards.
