Safety The general and specific health and safety instructions 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 Transport The unit must never be raised by the power cable.
Storage of the units ATTENTION Sulzer products must be protected from weather influences such as UV from direct sunlight, high humidity, aggressive dust emissions, mechanical damage, frost etc. Sulzer original packaging with the relevant transport securing devices (where used) ensures optimum protection of the unit. If the units are exposed to temperatures under 0 °C / 32 °F check that there is no water in the hydraulics, cooling system,...

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: • The guidelines for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) are complied with.
The electrical connection is carried out in accordance with section 5.7 Electrical connection. NOTE We recommend that Sulzer installation accessories be used for the installation of the RW / RCP. Tightening torque...

5.3.4 Fixed installation with vibration damper If the mixer is to be installed at a fixed point in the tank, then we recommend that the console with the vibration damper be used. In this case a further square tube must be used as a console at the guide tube. The vibration damper for the relevant mixer can be ordered (see table below). Vibration damper listing Mixer Part no.
5.4.3 Bracket alignment on guide rail The mixer must be set up freely suspended with bracket fully mounted so that the bracket points vertically towards the ground. When doing this the clamp of the mixer should be moved until the desired slope of the mixer is achieved. This ensures that the mixer can slide up and down easily on the guide tube after it is fitted.
5.6.2 Guide tube installation The safety hints in the previous sections must be observed! ATTENTION The discharge line and the required flange DIN EN 1092-1 PN6 should be installed on site before starting the installation of the guide tube. The DIN flange should be installed so that none of the holes in the flange are on the axis line but are symmetrically on either side of it.
5.6.3 Securing and positioning of the motor connection cables of the RCP The safety hints in the previous sections must be observed! NOTE The cable holders described here are not supplied as part of the standard execution of the RCP. Figure 21. Securing and positioning of the motor connection cables of the RCP •...
5.6.4 Lowering of the RCP along the guide tube The safety hints in the previous sections must be observed! The RCP together with the guide piece is connected onto the guide tube and lowered along it until it automatically sits in it‘s final position (see Figure 23). When doing this, carefully feed the power cable downwards at the same time. To ensure the RCP will tilt enough to lower correctly on the guide tube, the angle of the pump created by the lifting hook when suspended by the hoist has to be checked prior to lowering.
Figure 23. RCP lowering RCP connected Electrical connection The safety instructions in the previous sections must be observed! Before commissioning, an expert should check that one of the necessary electrical protective devices is available. 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.
ATTENTION The only method of starting allowed is that specified in chapter 1.6 Technical data or on the nameplate. If you want to use other starting methods please consult the manufacturer. In the case where a control panel is not supplied as standard the unit must only be operated with a motor protection switch with overload relay and thermal sensors connected.
