WP29 and WP32 Electric Water Pump Installation Manual Installation Approval Documentation This manual is effective for aftermarket and OEM installations of the following part and serial numbers: Part Number Serial Number(s) 1030085xxx 1030002xxx Rev By Date Description of Change Approved By...
Service@emp-corp.com Product Overview The WP29 and WP32 are electrically powered fluid pumps available in 12 volt DC and 24 volt DC configurations. The pump is available with carbon steel, or stainless steel shafts for fluid compatibility. Proper installation of the pump will help ensure the performance and reliability of the electric pump while reducing the risk of damage to other components in the system.
If a tool, procedure, work method, or operating technique that not specifically recommended by EMP is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and for others. You should ensure that the product will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the operation, maintenance, or repair procedures that you choose.
EMP will participate in a design review if requested. Prior to production release of any system incorporating the WP29 and/or WP32, please take the time to fill out the included product installation registration form and e-mail to service@emp-corp.com.

The pump hardware part and serial numbers are located on the upper label. The lower label identifies the Programmed Assembly number and the associated control software as the pump leaves the manufacturing facility. The EMP service tool can be used to confirm the pump software should calibration changes be required and new identification tags issued.
Environment Environment cleanliness is crucial to pump life. The WP29 and WP32 are certified with an IP67 rating but debris collection in the weep pocket can lead to premature seal failure (See figure below). Shielding may be required to ensure debris does not enter the weep hole. If you have any questions regarding your installation contact EMP to ensure warranty coverage.
The configuration will be forced to have a 3000 rpm pump speed limit. “Inlet B” is also restrictive, and will require the WP29 and WP32 pump speeds to be limited to 3500 rpm, where “Inlet C” remains in the safe operating zone for all measured pump speeds and has no special limitations.
Light Duty Partial Formulated Coolant: Reference ASTM D3306 for coolant quality and maintenance schedules. Based on field testing and experience, the WP29 and WP32 are compatible with the following coolant types: 1. Ethylene Glycol 2. HOAT ( Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) 3.
25mm (1.0 inch) in length. Deviations from the Recommended Plumbing must meet the Inlet Requirements and be approved by EMP Engineering. Please contact EMP customer service for installation review. Mounting Screws Mounting screws used should be M8 x 1.25 screws (qty=4). These must have a minimum thread engagement of 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) and be tightened to a torque of 15 ft-lb (20N-m).
Controller Connectors Mating Connectors The mating connectors and pins are available from EMP in kit #3170001077 for the 6 pin and #3170001078 for the 4 pin connector. IF CAN OR SERIAL TTL CONTROL IS NOT USED THE 6 PIN DTM CONNECTOR MUST BE BLOCKED OFF TO PREVENT ENTRY OF WATER OR DIRT WHICH WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.
Incorrect Pump Orientation and Reasons The WP29 and WP32 contain a mechanical seal; 0.1cc/hr may weep past the seal as a part of normal operation. To properly collect the weepage pump orientation is important. Too steep of an angle will not allow the fluid to collect in the weep pocket and evaporate off and the pump may appear to be leaking when in fact it is operating as designed.
NOTE: Mechanical Seal COOLANT MAY BE SEEN OUTSIDE THE EMP WP29 ELECTRIC WATER PUMP. design requires fluid between the shaft and the seal material. This fluid vaporizes and passes the seal, venting through the weep collection pocket. As the seal wears in, the amount of venting decreases but never to zero.
EMPower Connect™ Service Tool Monitoring operation and manual control of the pump can be accomplished using the service tool EMPower Connect which is part of the EMP Service Suite available at no cost on our website at: http://www.emp-corp.com/support/downloads/ To use EMPower Connect download and install on your PC.
The information provided in this document supplements the Installation Approval document and provides detailed information for service tool use with the WP29 and WP32. The information within this document may be helpful in developing unique system calibrations and mapping the operation of the cooling system.
1. Install Instrumented WP29 and WP32 into the system. a. If a non-instrumented WP29 and WP32 is to be used with an external sensor, ensure the sensor is located within 2 inches of the pump inlet and 4 inches from the last bend in the supply plumbing.
