2 Safety 2 Safety All the information contained in this section refers to hazardous situations. DANGER 2.1 Key to safety symbols/markings Table 3: Definition of safety symbols/markings Symbol Description DANGER DANGER This signal word indicates a high-risk hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
2 Safety ▪ Observe the limits for continuous operation specified in the data sheet or product literature (Q and Q ) (to prevent damage such as shaft fracture, bearing failure, mechanical seal damage, etc). ▪ When untreated waste water is handled, the duty points in continuous operation lie within 0.7 to 1.2 x Q to minimize the risk of clogging/hardening.
2 Safety Deficits in knowledge must be rectified by sufficiently trained specialist personnel training and instructing the personnel who will carry out the respective tasks. If required, the operator can commission the manufacturer/supplier to train the personnel. Training on the pump (set) must always be supervised by technical specialist personnel.
2 Safety ▪ Pump pressure must have been released and the pump must have been drained. ▪ When taking the pump set out of service always adhere to the procedure described in the manual. ▪ Decontaminate pumps which handle fluids posing a health hazard. (⇨ Section 7.3 Page 36) ▪...

5 Installation at Site 5 Installation at Site 5.1 Safety regulations DANGER Improper installation in potentially explosive atmospheres Damage to the pump set! ▷ Comply with the applicable local explosion protection regulations. ▷ Observe the information given in the data sheet and on the pump/motor name plates.
Page 21
5 Installation at Site ✓ The foundation has been prepared in accordance with the dimensions given in the outline drawing/general arrangement drawing. Position the pump set on the foundation and align it with the help of a spirit level placed on the shaft and discharge nozzle. Permissible deviation: 0.0079 inch/m (0.2 mm/m).
5 Installation at Site 5.4 Piping 5.4.1 Connecting the piping DANGER Impermissible loads acting on the pump nozzles Danger to life from leakage of hot, toxic, corrosive or flammable fluids! ▷ Do not use the pump as an anchorage point for the piping. ▷...
Page 23
The data on forces and moments apply to static piping loads only. If the limits are exceeded, they must be checked and verified. If a computerized strength analysis is required, please contact KSB. The values are only applicable if the pump is installed on a completely grouted baseplate and bolted to a rigid and level foundation.
5 Installation at Site ▪ The line extends above the highest permissible fluid level in the tank. Fig. 5: Vacuum balance line Vessel under vacuum Vacuum balance line Shut-off element Swing check valve Main shut-off element Vacuum-tight shut-off element NOTE An additional line fitted with a shut-off valve (from the pump discharge nozzle to the balance line) facilitates venting of the pump before start-up.
5 Installation at Site 5.7 Electrical connection DANGER Incorrect electrical installation Danger of death from electric shock! ▷ For electrical installation also observe the requirements of IEC 60079-14. ▷ Always connect explosion-proof motors via a motor protection switch. DANGER Electrical connection work by unqualified personnel Danger of death from electric shock! ▷...
5 Installation at Site Check the direction of rotation. The motor's direction of rotation must match the arrow indicating the direction of rotation on the pump. If the impeller rotates in the wrong direction of rotation, check and correct the electrical connection of the motor and the control system, if applicable.
6 Commissioning/Start-up/Shutdown 6 Commissioning/Start-up/Shutdown 6.1 Commissioning/start-up 6.1.1 Prerequisites for commissioning/start-up Before commissioning/starting up the pump set, make sure that the following conditions are met: ▪ The pump set has been properly connected to the electric power supply and is equipped with all protection devices. ▪...
6 Commissioning/Start-up/Shutdown ✓ The pump, suction line and discharge line have been vented and primed with the fluid to be handled. Fully open the shut-off element in the suction head/suction lift line. Close/slightly open the shut-off element in the discharge line; fully open the shut-off element if a check valve is installed.
