Used for important pieces of information. Correct usage of the products In the case of any faults arising, the Sulzer units should immediately be taken out of use and secured. The fault should be immediately rectified or, if necessary, contact your Sulzer Pump Sweden AB Vadstena factory (in the following called Sulzer). service centre.
Installation and Operating Instructions XFP-PE7 | AFLX-PE7 | VUPX-PE7 For the operation of units as explosion-proof execution the following applies: In hazardous areas care must be taken that during switching on and operation of the pumps the pump section is filled with water (dry installation) or alternatively is submerged or under water (wet installation with cooling jacket. Other types of operation e.g. snore operation or dry running are not allowed! For the operation of explosion-proof submersible pumps in wet well installation without cooling jacket: It must be ensured that the motor of the Ex submersible pump is always fully submerged during start-up and...
The maximum noise level of the units of this series is ≤ 70 dB(A). HINT The respective dimension drawings can be found in downloads „dimension drawing“ at the following link: www.sulzer.com. The maximum noise level of the units of this series is ≤ 70 dB(A). The weights in the dimension sheets refer to a cable length of 10 m. In the case of cable lengths exceeding 10 m, the additional weight must be determined using the following table and added.
Figure 3 Nameplate CSA / FM Safety The general and specific health and safety hints are described in detail in the separate booklet Safety Instructions for Sulzer Products Type ABS. If anything is not clear or you have any questions as to safety make certain to contact the manufacturer Sulzer. Transport and storage The unit must never be raised by the power cable.
The units are equipped with a safety shackle (series for vertical setup) or swivel ring bolt (horizontal setup), which allow fixing chains for transporting or for installing or removing. We recommend using chains from the Sulzer list of accessories. Take note of the entire weight of the unit (see nameplate Figure 1) The hoist and chain must be adequately dimensioned for the weight of the unit and must comply with the current valid safety regulations.
Figure 6 Removal of the transport securing devices Storage of the units ATTENTION The Sulzer products must be protected from weather influences such as UV from direct sunlight, high humidity, aggressive dust emissions, mechanical damage, frost etc. The Sulzer original packaging with the relevant transport securing devices (where used) ensures optimum protection of the unit.
5.6. ATTENTION If the DI seal monitoring is activated the unit must be immediately taken out of service. Please contact your Sulzer Service Centre. NOTE Running the pump with the thermal and/or moisture sensors disconnected will invalidate related warranty claims.
The thermal monitoring circuit must be wired into the motor contactors in such a manner that a manual reset is required. Operation with frequency inverters The stator design and the insulation grade of the motors from Sulzer means that they are suitable for usage with frequency inverters. It is however essential that the following conditions are met: •...
Installation options for the XFP submersible sewage pumps There are three main installation options for the submersible pumps. Wet installation vertical with Sulzer automatic coupling system Dry installation with ground support ring (with closed cooling system) Dry installation horizontal (with closed cooling system)

Fit a hoist to the submersible sewage pump. • The Sulzer submersible sewage pump is suspended on the guide tube by means of the pedestal bracket on the pressure connection and carefully lowered vertically, or at a slight inclination (max. 3°). It couples automatically at the pedestal and seals the pressure connection at the pedestal leak-tight by means of its own weight and a seal.

Installation and Operating Instructions XFP-PE7 | AFLX-PE7 | VUPX-PE7 The coupling ring required for installation of the AFLX/VUPX submersible pump must already be installed as shown in Figure 15a and 15b. Before installation of the pump a suitable support (hook) for the chain, as well as an opening and suspension (cable sock) for the cable must be provided in the sump or riser pipe. Before or during the installation the motor connection cables should be fitted on site with suitable strain relief (e.g.
Installation and Operating Instructions XFP-PE7 | AFLX-PE7 | VUPX-PE7 Electrical connection Before commissioning, an expert should check that one of the necessary electrical protective devices is avail-able. Earthing, neutral, earth leakage circuit breakers, etc. must comply with the regulations of the local electricity supply authority and a qualified person should check that these are in perfect order.
The unit should only be operated with the overload relay and thermal sensors/limiters connected. 5.3.1 Lead designations Direct starting in star T1 U1 Join North America T1 (U1)* T2 (V1)* T3 (W1)* Sulzer/Factory Standard U2 & V2 & W2 Direct starting in delta North America T1 (U1)* T2 (V1)* T3 (W1)* Sulzer/Factory Standard U1; W2 V1; U2 W1; V2 *Optional labeling possible.
Installation and Operating Instructions XFP-PE7 | AFLX-PE7 | VUPX-PE7 Checking direction of rotation When three phase units are being commissioned for the first time and also when used on a new site, the direction of rotation must be carefully checked by a qualified person. When checking the direction of rotation, the submersible pump should be secured in such a manner that no danger to personnel is caused by the rotating impeller, or by the resulting air flow. Do not place your hand into the hydraulic system! The direction of rotation should only be altered by a qualified person. When carrying out the direction of rotation check as well as when starting the unit pay attention to the START REACTION.
In order to integrate this seal monitoring function into the control panel of the pump it is necessary to fit a Sulzer DI module and connect this in accordance with the circuit diagrams below. ATTENTION If the DI seal monitoring is activated the unit must be immediately taken out of service. Please contact your Sulzer service centre.
