Provide adequate light and clearance around the
pump. Make sure that it is easily accessible for in-
stallation and maintenance operations.
NOTICE:
Do not exceed the pumps suction capacity as this
could cause cavitation and damage the pump.
4.1.2 Piping requirements
Precautions
WARNING:
• Use pipes suited to the maximum
working pressure of the pump. Fail-
ure to do so can cause the system to
rupture, with the risk of injury.
• Make sure that all connections are
performed by qualified installation
technicians and in compliance with
the regulations in force.
NOTICE:
Observe all regulations issued by authorities having
jurisdiction and by companies managing the public
water supplies if the pump is connected to a public
water system. If required, install appropriate back-
flow-prevention device on the suction side.
Piping checklist
Check that the following requirements are met:
• All piping is independently supported, piping
must not place a burden on the unit.
• Flexible pipes or unions are used, in order to
avoid transmission of pump vibrations to the
pipes and vice versa.
• Use wide bends, avoid using elbows which
cause excessive flow resistance.
• Appropriately sized on-off valves are installed on
the suction piping and on the delivery piping
(downstream to the check valve) for regulation of
the pump capacity, for pump inspection, and for
maintenance.
• Appropriately sized on-off valve is installed on
the delivery piping (downstream to the check
valve) for regulation of the pump capacity, for
pump inspection, and for maintenance.
• In order to prevent back flow into the pump when
pump is turned off a check valve is installed on
the delivery piping.
WARNING:
Do not use the on-off valve on the dis-
charge side in the closed position in or-
der to throttle the pump for more than a
few seconds. If the pump must operate
with the discharge side closed for more
than a few seconds, a bypass circuit
must be installed to prevent overheating
of the liquid inside the pump.
4.2 Electrical requirements
• The local regulations in force overrule these
specified requirements.
• In the case of fire fighting systems (hydrants
and/or sprinklers), check the local regulations in
force.
Electrical connection checklist
Check that the following requirements are met:
• The electrical leads are protected from high tem-
perature, vibrations, and collisions.
• The power supply line is provided with:
• A short-circuit protection device
• A mains isolator switch with a contact gap of
at least 3 mm
The electrical control panel checklist
NOTICE:
The control panel must match the ratings of the elec-
tric pump. Improper combinations could fail to guar-
antee the protection of the motor.
Check that the following requirements are met:
• The control panel must protect the motor against
overload and short-circuit.
• Install the correct overload protection (thermal re-
lay or motor protector).
Pump Type Protection
Single phase standard
electric pump ≤ 2.2 kW
• Built-in automatic
reset thermal-am-
perometric protec-
tion (motor protec-
tor)
• Short circuit protec-
tion (must be sup-
plied by the instal-
ler)
3
Three phase electric
pump
4
• Thermal protection
(must be supplied
by the installer)
• Short circuit protec-
tion (must be sup-
plied by the instal-
ler)
• The control panel must be equipped with a dry-
running protection system to which a pressure
switch, float switch, probes, or other suitable de-
vice is connected.
• When thermal relays are used, relays that are
sensitive to phase failure are recommended.
The motor checklist
WARNING:
• Read the operating instructions in or-
der to ensure whether a protection
device is provided if another motor
other than the standard is used.
• If the motor is equipped with automat-
ic thermal protectors, be aware of the
risk of unexpected starts in connec-
tion to overload. Do not use such mo-
tors for fire-fighting applications.
NOTICE:
3
fuses aM (motor starting), or magneto-thermal switch with curve C and Icn ≥ 4,5 kA or other equivalent device.
4
Overload thermal relay with operation class 10A + fuses aM (motor starting) or motor protection magneto-thermal switch
with operation class 10A.
