Pumps in Storage or Not
Operating:
Pumps with carbon ceramic seals
and
must have impellers manually
rotated (6 revolutions) after
setting non-operational for 3
months or longer and prior to
electrical start-up.
Pumps with tungsten carbide seals
must have impellers manually
rotated (6 revolutions) after
setting non-operational for 3
weeks or longer and prior to
use.
electrical start-up.
Seal Failure Probes:
All
submersible pumps have two
factory
detectors (seal failure probes).
They are in a normally open series
check
for
cir cuit, in the seal chamber. Under
normal operating conditions, the
circuit remains open. If the lower
seal leaks and moisture enters this
cannot
be
cham ber, the moisture would
settle to the bottom of the
chamber and will com plete the
circuit between the mois ture
detectors.
This circuit must be connected
to a sensing unit and signaling
device. This is supplied in a
Hydromatic built control panel.
NOTE: Failure to install such a
device negates all war ran ties by
Hydromatic Pump.

Heat Sensors:
All motors in this family have
heat sensors on or embedded in
the motor winding to detect
ex ces sive heat. This prevents
damage to the motor. If sen sor
trips due to excessive winding
tem per a ture, starter in panel
breaks power to the pump. Once
sensor re sets, the starter is
automatically reset for FM for
continued operation of the pump.
This circuitry is supplied in a
Hydromatic control panel.
The sensors are set to trip at
120°C (248°F).
NOTE: Failure to install such
circuitry would negate FM
approvals and all warranties by
Hydromatic Pump.
Power Cords:
The power cord and heat sensor
seal failure cord are potted into
the con nec tion box cap. The cords
must not be spliced.
NOTE: Each cable has a green
lead.
This
is
the
wire and must be grounded
properly
per
NEC
local codes. Cords should be
in spect ed for abnormal wear
and replaced ac cord ing ly.
Overload Heaters:
If the Hydromatic electrical panel
is
not
used,
start ers
3 leg overload relay must be
supplied on 3 phase pumps. Each
leg is to have an iden ti cal heater
sized in accordance with the
nameplate amps on the motor
hous ing. The amp draw on these
sub mers ible motors is slightly
higher than a cor re spond ing
horsepower sur face motor, so
heat ers must be sized by the
nameplate rating.
