Preparation for installation
Below listed tools and measuring devices that are required to install the pump
Pre-installation check
Use megger tester to measure the resistance between the cable plug pin and the ground
terminal to verify the insulation resistance of the motor. Measure the resistance twice, between
each of the two pins and the ground.
CAUTION:
Do not measure the insulation resistance with megger tester between the pug pins.
NOTICE
:
Insulation resistance reference value
>30MΩ.
The reference value is given for new pump. For
reference values of a pump that has been put into operation, refer to chapter
5.2. Inspection
and service intervals
.

Pump installation
The pump is transportable and intended to operate either completely or partially submerged
in the pumped liquid. The pump is equipped with a connection for hose or pipe (BSPP thread)
1. Route the cable so that it has no sharp bends, is not
pinched, and cannot be sucked into the pump inlet.
2. Push the hose all the way to the base of the hose coupling.
Tighten the hose clamp to secure the hose in its place.
3. Handle the pump carefully. When
suspending the pump to raise or
to lower it, attach a wire rope or a
chain to the pump's handle.
4. Install the pump only in an area that can maintain a proper water level
NOTICE:
For details on the water level necessary for pump operation see chapter
4.6.
Water level during
operation.
