Recommendations and Warnings

  • 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. If the manual is removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace it.

  • 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) operates properly.

  • Controls
    Manual models require a separate approved pump control device or panel for automatic operation. Be sure the electrical specification of the control selected properly match the electrical specifications of the pump.

  • Submergence
    The pump should always be operated in the submerged condition. The minimum sump liquid level should never be less than above the pump’s volute (See Figure 1).Barmesa Pumps 4BSE504SS Submersible Solids Handling Pumps - Figure
1

  • Installation
    These pumps are recommended for use in a sump, basin, or lift station. The sump, basin, or lift station shall be sealed and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. This pump Is designed to pump sewage, effluent or wastewater, and non-explosive and non-corrosive liquids and shall NOT be installed in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electric Code (CEC). The pump should never be installed in a trench, ditch, or hole with a dirt bottom. The legs will sink into the dirt and the suction will become plugged.
    The installation should be at a sufficient depth to ensure that all plumbing is below the frost line. If this is not feasible, remove the check valve and size the basin to accommodate the additional backflow volume.
    Pumps are most commonly installed in simplex or duplex stations or basins with a slide rail system (Barmesa SRC), which allows the pump(s) to be installed or removed without requiring personnel to enter the station, or resting on the basin floor.

  • Discharge Piping
    should be as short as possible and sized no smaller than the pump discharge. Do not reduce the discharge pipe size below that which is provided on the pump. Both a check valve and a shut-off valve are recommended for each pump. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. The shut-off valve is used to manually stop the system low during pump servicing.

  • Liquid Level Controls
    The level control(s) should be mounted on the discharge piping, a cable rack, or a floating pole. The level control should have adequate clearance so it cannot hang up in its swing and that the pump is completely submerged when the level control is in the ‘Off’ mode. By adjusting the cord tether the control level can be changed. One cycle of operation should be observed so that any potential problems can be corrected.
    It is recommended that the level control float should be set to ensure that the liquid in the sump never drops below the top of the motor housing or a minimum level of 10 inches above the basin floor.

  • Electrical Connections Power cable:
    The power cable mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way except for shortening to a specific application. Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made in accordance with the electric codes. It is recommended that a junction box if used, be mounted outside the sump or be off at a minimum NEMA 4 construction if located within the wet well. DO NOT USE THE POWER CABLE TO LIFT THE PUMP.
    Always rely upon a Certified Electrician for installation.
    Overload Protection:
    Single Phase – The stator in-winding overload protector used is referred to as an inherent overheating protector and operates on the combined effect of temperature and current. This means that the overload protector will trip out and shut the pump off the windings become too hot, or the load current passing through them becomes too high.

Installation

IMPORTANT! – The overload will then automatically reset and start the pump up after the motor cools to a safe temperature. In the event of an overload, the source of this condition should be determined and corrected immediately.
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO CYCLE OR RUN IF AN OVERLOAD CONDITION OCCURS.
If the current through the temperature sensor exceeds the values listed, an intermediate control circuit relay must be used to reduce the current or the sensor will not work properly.

600| 0.60| 6.0

Wire Size:
If a longer power cable is required consult a qualified electrician for the proper wire size.

Pre-Operation

  1. Check Voltage and Phase -Compare the voltage and phase information stamped on the pump nameplate.
  2. Check Pump Rotation – Improper motor rotation can result in poor pump performance and can damage the motor and/or pump. Check rotation on three-phase units by momentarily applying power and observing the ‘kickback”. Kickback should always be in a counter-clockwise direction as viewed from the motor end or opposite to impeller rotation. Impeller rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed from the bottom of the pump.
  3. Name Plate – Record the information from the pump nameplate to the drawing in front of the manual for future reference.
  4. Insulation Test – An insulation (megger) test should be performed on the motor. Before the pump is put into service. The resistance values (ohms) as well as the voltage (volts) and current (amps) should be recorded.
  5. Pump-Down Test – Be sure the pump has been properly wired, and lowered into the basin, sump, or lift station, check the system by filling it with liquid and allowing the pump to operate through its pumping cycle. The time needed to empty the system, or pump-down time along with the volume of water, should be recorded.

Maintenance
No lubrication or maintenance is required. Perform the following checks when the pump is removed from an operation or when the pump performance deteriorates:
a) Inspect the motor chamber for oil level and contamination.
b) Inspect the impeller and body for excessive build-up or clogging.
c) Inspect motor, bearings, and shaft seal for wear or leakage.
Servicing
NOTE : Item numbers in ( ) refer to Figure 6.
Cooling Oil
– Anytime the pump is removed from operation, the cooling oil in the motor housing should be checked visually for oil level and contamination. To check the oil, set the unit upright. Remove pipe plug (20) from housing (4). With a flashlight, visually inspect the oil in the housing (4) to make sure it is clean and clear, light amber in color, and free from suspended particles. Milky white oil indicates the presence of water. The oil level should be just above the motor when the pump is in a vertical position.
Oil Testing

  • Drain oil into a clean, dry container by placing the pump on its side and removing the pipe plug (20), from the housing
  • Check the oil for contamination using an oil tester with a range of 30 kV breakdown.
  • If oil is found to be clean and uncontaminated (measuring above 15 kV breakdown), refill the housing.
  • If oil is found to be dirty or contaminated (or measures below 15 kV breakdown), the pump must be carefully inspected for leaks at the shaft seal, cable assembly, square ring, and pipe plug, before refilling with oil. To locate the leak, perform a pressure test.

After the leak is repaired, dispose of the old oil properly, and refill it with new oil.

Service

Pressure Test (If oil has been drained) – remove pipe plug (20) from housing (4). Apply pipe sealant to the pressure gauge assembly and tighten it into the hole. Pressurize motor housing to 10 PSI. Use soap solution around the sealed areas and inspect joints for “air bubbles”.
If, after five minutes, the pressure is still holding constant, and no “bubbles” are observed, slowly bleed the pressure and remove the gauge assembly. Replace oil. Leek must be located and repaired if the pressure does not hold. Pressure Test (If oil has NOT been drained) – Oil should be at a normal level. Remove pipe plug (20) from housing (4). Apply pipe sealant to the pressure gauge assembly and tighten it into the hole. Pressurize motor housing to 10 PSI. Use soap solution around the sealed areas above the oil level and inspect joints for “air bubbles”. For sealed areas below the oil level, leeks will seep oil. If, after five minutes, the pressure is still holding constant, and no “bubbles “/oil seepage is observed, slowly bleed the pressure and remove the gauge assembly. Replace oil. Leek must be located and repaired if the pressure does not hold.
Pressure builds up extremely lost, increase pressure by °TAPPING’ air nozzle. Too much pressure will damage the sea/ DO NOT exceed 10 PSI.
Oil Replacement – Set the unit upright and refill it with new cooling oil as per the table below. Fill to just above the motor, but below the capacitor as an air space must remain in the top of the housing to compensate for oil expansion. Apply pipe thread compound to threads of pipe plug (20) then assemble to housing (14).
DO NOT overfill oil. Overfilling of housing with oil can create excessive and dangerous hydraulic pressure which can destroy the pump and create a hazard. Overfilling oil voids warranty.

Troubleshooting Chart

**** Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the pump from the power source before handling inspections or repairs.

Symptom+G45:I52I46G45:I54 Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action
The pump will not run 1.  Poor electrical connection, blown fuse, tripped

breaker or other interruption of power;
improper power supply
2.  Motor or switch inoperative (go to manual
operation)
2a. Float movement restricted
2b. Switch will not activate a pump or is defective
2c. Defective motor
3. Insufficient liquid level| 1. Check all electrical connections for security.
Have the electrician measure current in motor leads if the current is within ± 20% of the locked rotor Amps impeller is probably locked. If the current is 0, overload may be tripped. Remove power, allow the pump to cool, then re-check the current.
2a. Reposition the pump or clean basin as required to  provide adequate clearance for float
2b. Disconnect level control. Set the ohmmeter for a  low range, such as 100 ohms full scale, and connect to level control leads. Actuate level control manually and check to see that ohmmeter shows zero ohms for the closed switch and full scale for the open switch. (Float Switch)
2c. Check winding insulation (Megger Test) and winding resistance. If a check is outside of range dry and re-check. If still defective, replace it per service instructions.
3. Make sure the liquid level is above the pump
4. Re-check all sizing calculations to determine the proper pump size.
5. Check the discharge line for restrictions, including ice if the line passes through or into cold areas.  Remove and examine the check valve for proper  installation and freedom of operation
7. Open valve
8. Check the impeller for freedom of operation,  security, and condition. Clean the impeller cavity  and inlet of any obstruction
9. Loosen the union slightly to allow trapped air to escape. Verify that the turn-off level of the switch is set so that the suction is always flooded. Clean vent  hole
10. Check rotation. If the power supply is three phases, reversing any two of the three power supplies leads to ensuring proper impeller rotation
11. Repair fixtures as required to eliminate leakage
12. Check pump temperature limits and fluid  temperature
13. Replace a portion of the discharge pipe with flexible
connector or tighten existing piping.
14. Turn to the automatic position
15. Check for leaks around the basin inlet and outlets
