Commissioning/De-commissioning
6.1
Engineering Data
Details regarding all technical specifications and
operating conditions are given in these operating
instructions together with the data sheet, Point 9.
To guarantee the correct assignment of documen-
tation to pump, the commission number on the
cover sheet
and data sheet of these operating instructions
must match the commission number stated on
the nameplate of the pump.
6.1.1
See Point 7.2.2 for Lubricant Chart
6.2
Preparation for Operation
6.2.1
Bearing
6.2.1.1
See Point 7.2.1.4 for pump bearing.
6.2.1.2
See manufacturer's documents, Point 10, for drive
bearings.
6.2.2
Shaft Sealing
See document OM.SEA.__.
6.2.3
Filling Up of Suction Side to Avoid Dry Running
at Startup
6.2.3.1
General
CAUTION
Before switching on the pump, fill the suction-sided
pump casing with fluid so that the first rotations will
lubricate the conveying elements immediately. A
small quantity of fluid is sufficient for lubrication; the
subsequent operation of the pump is self-priming,
even if an air column up to the liquid level remains.
6.2.3.2
Pump with plastic rotor
Pump with plastic rotating unit
CAUTION
Important information about commissioning can be
taken from the document OM.ROT.01.
6.2.4
Electric/Hydraulic Connections
The connections are listed in the
appended manufacturer's documents,
Point 10.
The risk of exposure to electrical
hazards must be ruled out. Always
observe the safety regulations valid
at the site of installation.
6.2.5
Checking Direction of Rotation
The rotational direction of the pump
determines the flow direction of the
conveying medium.
Flow direction
counter-clockwise
Flow direction
clockwise
Prior to commissioning the rotational direction of the
pump must be checked for compliance with the data
sheet specification and the rotational direction arrow
on the type plate of the pump.
6.3
Control and Monitoring Equipment
Where applicable, please refer to the associated
documents, Point 10, for information on
commissioning.
6.3.1
Performance Check
Any optional extras must be subjected to a
performance check in conformity with the
specifications by
seepex
or other manufacturers,
see manufacturer's documents.
6.3.2
Setting
Unless already performed in the factory, setting
must be carried out in accordance with the
appended manufacturer's specifications. Pay
attention to the operating specifications in the data
sheet.
