5 Installation and Connection
Material damage due to unauthorized modification on
pump
u
Unauthorized modification will invalidate the warranty.
u
A non-return valve must be installed between the pump
and the discharge pipework to prevent sudden release of
fluid into the pump head in the event of tube failure.
5.1 Electrical Installation
Failure to follow safe and proper electrical installation
practices may result in pump malfunction or dangerous
operation
u
Make sure the pump is installed correctly.
u
The pump is supplied with a pre-fitted mains lead which is
not a user-replaceable part.
u
The mains lead may have a fuse fitted (country
dependant)
u
The fuse should be replaced with an identical fuse in the
event of the fuse blowing.
u
The pump is protected by a mechanical overload switch
built into the power switch.
5.1.1 Checking the Ambient Conditions
1. Make sure that the operating conditions are as per pump
specifications (
g
Appendix A
).
2. Make sure the required ambient conditions are within limits
(
g
Appendix A
).
5.1.2 Connecting to a Power Supply
Isolate power supply from the pump before performing the
installation.
1. The pump must be installed by a qualified individual if it is
to be permanently wired in place.
2. The pump must not be used if there is visible damage to
the mains cable or plug.
3. The pump must be positioned so that the disconnect
device is easily accessible.
4. The pump cable must be free from strain and the pump
weight must not be supported by the mains cable.
5. All cabling used to connect to the pump must be 0.75mm
2
Cross Sectional Area (CSA) minimum.

We advise customers to consider using a commercial surge
suppression system for installations where there is a risk of
excessive electrical noise.
5.1.3 Protective Earthing/Grounding
CAUTION
Failure to earth the pump correctly can result in hazardous
voltages being present on the pump body
u
The pump is designed to be permanently earthed and
MUST be connected as such.
u
By default, the earth connection is made through the earth
pin on the mains lead.
u
If the mains lead is of a “bare end” type, the earth cable
(denoted by a Green/Yellow marking) must be wired to the
earth.
u
If an Earth/Ground is unavailable from the mains plug,
there is an earthing stud provided on the back of the pump
(
g
Figure 3
)
and this should be used in place of the earth
from the mains plug.
Make sure a ground loop is not created through using both a
cable earth and the earthing stud.
If in any doubt, please contact a qualified electrician.
5.1.4 Electrical Isolation
1. The mains plug is the disconnection point for the pump
and is used for isolation from the mains.
2. The mains plug should therefore be readily accessible in
order to use as a disconnection point.
3. To isolate the pump, the mains plug is to be removed from
the wall outlet.
