Installation
Receiving inspection
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If
damage has occurred, file a claim immediately with the company that delivered
the pump. Ithe manual is removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.
Storage
Any product that is stored for a period longer than six (6) months from the
date of purchase should be bench tested prior to installation. A bench test
consists of, checking the impeller to assure it is free turning and a run test
to assure the motor (and switch if provided) operate properly.
Before Installation
Insulation resistance measurement
With the motor and cable (excluding the power supply cable) immersed in water,
use a megger to measure the insulation resistance between ground and each
phase of the motor, and again between each phase of the motor. The megger
should indicate an insulation resistance of not less than 20 mega ohms. While
making the measurement, keep the power supply cable off the ground. We
recommend that an auxiliary pump be kept on hand in case of emergency.
Installation
WARNING Under no circumstances should cable be pulled while the pump is
being transported or installed. Attach a chain or rope to the grip and install
the pump.
-
This pump must not be installed on its side or operated in a dry condition. Ensure that it is installed upright on a secure base.
-
Install the pump at a location in the tank where there is the least turbulence.
-
If there is a flow of liquid inside the tank, support the piping where appropriate. Install piping so that air will not be entrapped. If piping must be installed in such a way that air pockets are unavoidable, install an air release valve wherever such air pockets are most likely to develop.
-
Do not permit end of discharge piping to be submerged, as backflow will result when the pump is shut down.
WARNING
Non-automatic pumps (models 2AHS), have an automatic operating system bump operating water level near the minimum operating level as the automatic cutoff switch incorporated inside the motor will be activated. To avoid dry operation, installan automatic operating system, as shown in Figure 1 and maintain a safe operating water level (C.W.L.: continuous water level = 90 mm). -
For automatic pumps (models 2AHS-A), install the floats as shown in figure 2. The pump may not start if a floats switch touches the wall of the water tank or the piping. Install the floats so that this will not happen.
Wiring:
a) Wire as indicated for the appropiate start system as shown in figure 3.
b) Loose connections will stop the pump. Make sure all electrical connections
are secure.
Cable:
WARNING
c) Never let the end of the cable contact water.
d) If the cable is extended, do not immerse the splice in water.
e) Fasten the cable to the discharge piping with tape or vinyl strips.
f ) Install the cable so that it will not overheat. Overheating caused by
coiling the cable and exposing it to direct sunlight.
Grounding: Connect the green wire to ground.
Under no circumstances should the green wire be connected to the power supply.
DANGER Use short circuit breakers to prevent danger of electrical shock.
Electrical Wiring
Operation & Maintenance
Before Starting the Pump
- After completing installationmeasure the insulation resistance again as described in Installation.
- Check water level. If the pump is operated continuously for an extended period of time in a dry condition or at the lowest water level, the motor protector will be activated. Constant repetition of this action will shorten pump service life. Do not start the pump again in such a situation until after the motor has completely cooled.
Test operation
Automatic (2AHS-A) and nonautomatic (2AHS) pump:
-
Turn the operating switch on and off a couple of times to check for normal pump start.
For the 2AHS-A:
Floating switch must be raised for the pump to start. -
Next, check direction and rotation. If discharge volume is low or unusual sounds are heard when the pump is operating, rotation has been reversed. When this happens, reverse two of the wires.
Maintenance
Check pressure, output, voltage, current and other specifications. Unusual
readings may indicate. Refer to Troubleshooting and correct as soon as
possible. Daily inspections:
- Check current and ammeter fluctuation daily. If ammeter fluctuation is high, even though within the limits of pump rating, foreign matter may be clogging the pump. If the quantity of liquid discharged falls suddenly, foreign matter may be blocking the suction inlet.
Monthly inspections:
Measure the insulation resistance.
The value should be more than 1M ohm. If resistance starts to fall rapidly
even with an initial indication of over 1M ohm, this may be an indication of
trouble and repair work is required.
Annual inspections:
To extend the service life of the mechanical seal, replace the oil in the
mechanical seal chamber once a year. Water mixed with the oil or cloudy
textures are indications of a defective mechanical seal requiring replacement.
When replacing the oillay the pump on its side with filler plug on top. Inject
suitable amount turbine oil no. 32 (ISO VG-32).
Inspections at 3-5 year intervals:
Conduct an overhaul of the pump.
These intervals will preclude the possibility of future trouble.
Parts that will need to be replaced:
Replace the appropriate part when the following conditions are apparent. See
Table 1. (Note: replacement schedule is based on normal operating conditions)
Disassembly
When disassembling pump, have a piece of cardboard or wooden board ready to
place the different parts on as you work. Do not pile parts on top of each
other. They should be laid out neatly in rows. The o-ring and gasket cannot be
used again once they are removed. Have replacement parts ready. Disassemble in
the following order, referring to the sectional view.
WARNING
Be sure to cut off power source before disassembly.
-
Remove pump casing bolts, raise the motor section and remove pump casing.
-
Remove shaft head bolt and impeller.
-
Remove oil filler plug and drain lubricating oil.
-
Remove intermediate casing bolts and intermediate oil chamber. (Remember that any lubricating oil remaining in the mechanical seal chamber will flow out.)
-
Carefully remove mechanical seal, taking care not to scratch sliding surface or motor shaft.
Assembly
Re-assemble in reverse order of disassembly. Be careful of the following points: -
During re-assembly, rotate the impeller by hand and check for smooth rotation. If rotation is not smooth, perform steps (3) through (5) again.
-
Upon completion of re-assembly step 1 rotate the impeller by hand from the suction the suction inlet and check that it rotates smoothly without touching the suction cover before operating the pump.
Please obtain o-rings, packing, shaft seals and other parts from pump dealer.
