Depiction of safety instructions All safety instructions of this document are marked with symbols designed on the basis of the SAFE principle. Each of them describes the kind and source of danger, possible consequences and information on how to avert them. DANGER The symbol warns you of a potential accident resulting from ignoring safety or other instructions.
4. Technical Information General description MAGSON magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps are non-self priming centrifugal pumps made of plastic and built in horizontal single-stage monoblock design. A magnetic coupling connects the pump to the motor and transmits the power of the motor to the impeller.

6. Installation Safety precautions WARNING Danger of getting jammed or bruised during installation of the pump If necessary, use lifting and holding devices suitable to the size and weight of the pump. Make sure that all installation work is done by competent and qualified personnel only. WARNING Danger of being hit by falling components If necessary, use lifting and holding devices suitable to the size and weight of the pump.
6.3.2 Suction line ATTENTION Risk of damaging the pump by cavitation When installing the suction line, make sure to meet the NSPH value given in the æ Appendix page 30 foll.. If the NPSH falls below this value, there will be cavitation resulting in running noise, drumming and vibration of the pump.
6.3.4 Flange or threaded connections MAGSON MA pumps of types 4 to 6 are equipped with slip-on flanges as standard features. The rotating flange allows you to easily connect the pump without considering the angular position of the mating flange. Do not use hard material to seal the flange but appropriate elastomer seals.
3. Screw the threaded adapter to the pump housing using the strap wrench. Make sure that the O-ring fits exactly into the groove of the inner thread. 6.3.5 Electrical connection NOTE Qualified personnel only are allowed to connect the pump to the electrical mains. All electrical connections and the installation of additional protection devices has to be done in accordance with the regulations of your local power supplier and the VDE Association of German Electrical Engineers.
6.3.6 Controlling the direction of rotation ATTENTION Dry-running will damage the pump Do not check the direction of rotation when there is no fluid in the pump! 1. Mind the direction of rotation indicated by an arrow on the pump. Before verifying it after the installation, fill the pump housing and suction line with water or fluid.
Putting into operation Safety precautions WARNING Danger of breaking during operation Regularly check the pump for damages. If there is a damage, the pump must not be operated! Replace wearing parts at regular intervals. Do not operate the pump to other than the intended purpose. WARNING Risk of electrical hazards when touching parts carrying voltage by fault Fasten all loose connections.
WARNING Hazard of pressure Use a manometer at the discharge line to check the system pressure and prevent it from going beyond its limit specified in the technical data sheet (see Appendix). If the system pressure is too high, the rear casing may burst releasing fluid. When pressure testing the piping, take into account the maximum system pressure, but do not test the pump as well, if possible.
8. Shut-down procedure 1. Switch off the motor. 2. Close the shut-off valves. 3. When some fluid remains within the pump, secure the shut-off valves to prevent an accidental opening. 4. In case of crystallizing fluids, heat both the pump and the piping. Protect freezing fluids against frost.
9. Service and maintenance Safety precautions WARNING Risk of electrical hazards when touching parts carrying voltage by fault Only qualified and authorized personnel are allowed to work on motors at a standstill. The motors have to be disconnected and secured against any accidental start. Strictly follow the instructions of the motor manufacturer.
Preventive maintenance 9.3.1 Overall pump Check the pump at regular intervals for 1. vibrations or unusual noise, 2. a minimum volume flow of at least 5% of the maximum volume flow, 3. changes in normal operating conditions, overheating or dry-running, 4.
Replace the O-ring as soon as the elastomer shows signs of chemical attack, fissures or loss of elasticity. NOTE All spare parts are available at Sondermann Pumpen + Filter GmbH & Co. KG. See the Appendix for the spare parts lists. When delivering dirty, muddy or crystallizsing fluids, you should check and clean the pump at shorter intervals.
Dismantling and replacing the motor The back pull-out design allows you to replace the entire drive unit without dismounting the pump. So neither the pump nor the piping have to be drained. Just loosen the 4 motor screws and pull the motor off the pump.
Disassembling the pump head Press out the sleeve bearing of the impeller magnet and replace it. Press out the shaft mounting of the front housing and replace it (Types 4-6). Use appropriate tools to press out the components. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer to replace them.
