Otherwise, it may lead to injury and/or damage. then contact Teral Inc. or the service company. Otherwise, it may lead to an accident. Ensure to carry out inspection according to the Check to verify that the product is exactly what maintenance checklist.
Location of warning labels and caution labels The figure below shows the locations of warning labels and caution labels. If these labels become dirty and hard to read or if they are peeled off, replace them with a new one. Warning Caution Observe all the warnings and cautions affixed to the machine as well as...
2. Configuration and overview of the pump This chapter describes the standard specifications. For details, refer to the specifications including the external dimensions drawing and the internal structure drawing. Also if you purchased a custom-made product with special specifications, refer to the specifications including the external dimensions drawing and the internal structure drawing, because the contents may differ partially.
Notice that the liquid in question cannot be used with water and special liquids such as printing liquids and acidic liquids. For other special liquids (ceramic etc.), contact Teral Inc. Note2 When the dynamic viscosity of liquids used becomes higher than that in the table below, the useful life of the motor may become shorter, leading to a burnout.
Nameplate entries The specifications of the pump are shown on the nameplate. When you receive the pump, check the nameplate to verify that the product is exactly what you ordered. Be sure to confirm the model, motor output, frequency and voltage. If any part of the product should be different from what you ordered, contact the vendor from which you purchased the product.

3. Transportation, conveyance, storage and installation Precautions for transportation, moving and storing the pump (1) Do not unpack the container unnecessarily. If you unpack the container unnecessarily, securely pack again in such a manner that the product body does not jump out of it and fall down during transportation, conveyance or storage. (2) When you transport, move, or store the pump, ensure that the pump is located in a well-ventilated place with minimum exposure to dust and moisture in an environment at an ambient temperature of -25 to 55 degrees Celsius and humidity of lower than 85%RH.
Caution Do not allow the pump to operate with a frequency beyond 60 Hz. Doing so may overload the motor, causing it to burn out. Precautions for installation Warning Before rotating the pump shaft by hand to check it, be sure to turn off the main power.
Page 16
(10) When the liquid leaks from the product, install it in a place where it is not subjected to secondary damage. (11) If the system could be exposed to the freezing temperature in winter, be sure to apply antifreeze measures such as heat insulation and heater installation to the pump, valves, piping, etc.
Precautions for piping work (1) The pipes should be as short and straight as possible (with minimal joints and valves). Use pipes whose bore size is equal to or larger than that of the pump. Piping which is thin and has many bends may decrease the delivery volume.
Page 18
Danger Securely connect the terminals of the power cable. Loose terminals may cause an open phase fault, which causes the motor to burn out. (1) For the size of the power cable, refer to the following: Minimum size of the cable Type (200-volt class) All types...
Page 19
• Ensure that the minimum frequency is set to 20 Hz. (Contact us for operation at 20 Hz or below.) • Contact to the nearest Teral office when using a 400V class model. Protective measures may be required against the inverter surge.
4. Operation Check items before test operation 4.1.1 Check items related to the electrical system (1) Check that the fan is correctly wired. (2) Check that the terminals are securely connected. (3) Check that the fan is securely grounded. (4) Check that the setup value of the overload protection device is consistent with the rated current value of the motor.
(5) Open the air vent valve to release air. After the air release, close the air vent valve. If the air vent valve is not installed, open the valve of discharge pipe to release the air. (6) If you run the pump while changing the speed with the inverter, check the following points through trial runs without fail.
Page 22
Caution Do not check the rotational direction by the idling of the pump. Running the pump dry even for a short time may cause breakage of the sliding parts (e.g. bearings) in the pump, leakage or unusual noise. Caution Avoid reverse rotation because it may cause failures. Caution Do not run the pump dry, and do not allow a large amount of foreign matter in the pump.
Page 23
(7) If the liquid level is lowered, the pump takes air in, thus decreasing the delivery volume and disabling pumping-up. The liquid level should be above the lowest liquid level indicated in the outline drawing. However, this liquid level changes depending on dynamic viscosity and the liquid level condition.
Page 24
(14) Stop the pump. Caution Keep the cocks of the pressure gauges and compound gauge closed except during measurement. Otherwise, they come to fail with ease. Caution Do not run the pump beyond the allowable current value, or the motor may burn out.
5. Maintenance and inspection Warning Before checking the pump, be sure to turn off the main power. Failure to observe this may lead to a danger because the pump may suddenly start in automatic operation or on other occasions. Warning Before operating, maintaining or checking the pump, ensure that all the relevant workers are informed of the operation and that there are no workers in the dangerous zone.
Caution If you need to change any parts or overhaul or repair the pump, ask the vendor, the service center specified by the manufacturer, or Teral Inc. Improper work may lead to malfunctions or accidents. (1) Clean the dirt and oil deposited on the outside surface of the coolant pump.

6. Troubleshooting The following table lists causes of failures and their measures. In the event of a failure, however, you should carefully investigate the problem and ask the vendor to carry out any measures that are considered difficult. Problem Cause (Reference page) Measures (Reference page) Operator * Check the wires and connections.

*It is specified for reference because the range where the measure can be taken varies depending on User. Even though the problems of which the operator is User, request the vendor or contact the nearest Teral office, if you have any question.
If you find an abnormality with the pump in use, stop the pump operation immediately and then confirm the abnormality conditions. (Refer to Section 6 "Troubleshooting", page 6-1.) If your pump needs disassembly, inspection and repair, contact the store from which you purchased or Teral Inc. (Refer to the end of this document.) ...
8. Disposal Precautions for disposal When detaching the pump from the equipment for disposal or replacement of the pump, be sure to turn off the main power in advance. Warning Before detaching the pump, turn off the main power without fail. Failure to observe this may lead to a danger because the pump may suddenly start in automatic operation or on other occasions.
