must have impellers manually
rotated (6 revolutions) after
setting non-operational for 3
months or longer and prior to
electrical start-up.

Seal Failure Probes:
All our
submersible pumps have two
factory
detectors (seal failure probes).
They are in a normally open series
check for
circuit, in the seal chamber. Under
normal operating conditions, the
circuit remains open. If the lower
seal leaks and moisture enters this
cannot be
chamber, the moisture would
settle to the bottom of the
chamber and will complete the
circuit between the moisture
detectors.
This circuit must be connected
to a sensing unit and signaling
device. This is supplied in a
Hydromatic built control panel.
NOTE: Failure to install such a
all
device negates all warranties by
Hydromatic pumps.

Heat Sensors:
All motors in this family have
heat sensors on or embedded
in the motor winding to detect
excessive heat. This prevents
if damage to the motor. If sensor
trips due to excessive winding
temperature, starter in panel
breaks power to the pump. Once
sensor resets, the starter is to be
automatically reset for FM for
continued operation of the pump.
This circuitry is supplied in a
Hydromatic control panel.
The sensors are set to trip at
130°C (266°F).
NOTE: Failure to install such
circuitry would negate FM
approvals and all warranties by
Hydromatic pumps.
Power Cords:
The power cord and heat sensor
seal failure cord are potted into
the connection box cap. The cords
must not be spliced.
NOTE: Each cable has a green
lead. This is the ground wire
and must be grounded properly
per NEC and/or local codes.
Cords should be inspected for
abnormal wear and replaced
accordingly.
Overload Heaters:
If the Hydromatic electrical panel
is not used,
3 leg overload relay must be
supplied on 3 phase pumps. Each
leg is to have an identical heater
sized in accordance with the
nameplate amps on the motor
housing. The amp draw on these
submersible motors is slightly
higher than a corresponding
horsepower surface motor, so
heaters must be sized by the
nameplate rating. To adequately
