3.0 Installation Ensure that all regional and industry specific safety standards and procedures are understood and followed prior to and during the installation process. All electrical work must be performed by a certified electrician. Pump Mounting and Positioning The pumps can be directly mounted on the sump floor supported entirely by the pump stand. The sump floor must be level to prevent the pump from tipping over during operation.
Pipe Connections Discharge piping and hose must be mounted and supported in such a manner that it does not transmit stress to the pump casing. It is recommended that heavy duty, steel wire reinforced elastomeric discharge hose be installed rather than traditional rigid discharge pipe. If rigid discharge pipe is being installed then it is recommended that reinforced expansion joints be incorporated into the discharge line.
3.3.2 Optional Jet Ring Piping If a jet ring is utilized please contact your local Vulcan Pumps representative for the specific jet ring data sheet. Electrical Installation All electrical installations should conform to all regional and industry specific electrical standards.

Section 1 General Information Overview This manual contains general procedures that apply to BaldorSReliance Motor products. Be sure to read and understand the Safety Notice statements in this manual. For your protection, do not install, operate or attempt to perform maintenance procedures until you understand the Warning and Caution statements.
Section 1 General Information Safety Notice Continued Pacemaker danger − Magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of current carrying WARNING: carrying conductors and permanent magnet motors can result result in a serious health hazard to persons with cardiac pacemakers, metal implants, and hearing aids. To avoid risk, stay way from the area surrounding a permanent magnet motor.
Section 2 Installation & Operation Overview Installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and practices. All BaldorSReliance Submersible Pump Motors Include thermal devices as standard. Normally, there are four conditions during which a submersible sewage pump may be operated in gases or vapors.
WARNING: Do not touch electrical connections before you first ensure that power has been disconnected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the installation, operation and maintenance of this equipment. WARNING: The Adjustable Speed Controller may apply hazardous voltages to the motor leads after power to the controller has been turned off.
Page 46
Grounding In the USA consult the National Electrical Code, Article 430 for information on grounding of motors and generators, and Article 250 for general information on grounding. In making the ground connection, the installer should make certain that there is a solid and permanent metallic connection between the ground point, the motor or generator terminal housing, and the motor or generator frame.
Page 47
Moisture Protection The submersible moisture protection system consists of the non−wicking cable cap assembly and the dual moisture sensing probes. The cable cap assembly prevents moisture from wicking through the cable assembly even when the cable jacket has been punctured. Dual moisture sensing probes (Warrick type) extend into the oil chamber located between the tandem mechanical seals.

Installation (for reference only) Note: Since changes occur, always refer to installation and connection documentation from the manufacturer and follow their procedures. All type 2800−XXX controls are identified by a specific component number which follows the format 2800−XXX where the X’s are replaced by numbers and letters indicative of the A−C supply line voltage and frequency, contact configuration and enclosure.
Section 1 General Information WARNING: Surface temperatures of motor enclosures may reach temperatures which can cause discomfort or injury to personnel accidentally coming into contact with hot surfaces. Protection should be provided by the user to protect against accidental contact with hot surfaces. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
