Page 10: Installation
INSTALLATION After the pumping system has been leveled, install LOCATION the correct number of anchor bolts and tighten to secure the system. Locate the pumping system in a clean, well ventilated, and properly drained location. It is recommended that the location selected facilitates PUMP INSTALLATION ease of inspection, maintenance, and service. - Page 11 Figure 3: Lifting Pump 2. After the cable-sling is attached to the lifting lugs (lifting eyes) on the pump head, raise the pump to a vertical position. While in this position, install the strainer basket with bolts and clips. Position the pump over its access hole on the skid.

Page 32: Glossary Of Terms
GLOSSARY OF TERMS Alternating Current. The voltage, and therefore current, constantly oscillates positive and negative. For North America, the line frequency is 60 Hz. Some other areas of the world use 50 Hz. Across-the-line (XL) Applying 100% of line voltage to a motor during startup and run. A simple large relay with a contact for each power phase (for 3 phase) is used to control the motor OFF/ON. - Page 33 Direct Current. Such as a battery. The voltage is stable, and does not oscillate (at least intentionally). Digital A simple ON/OFF condition. For example, the presence or lack of a 120VAC signal on a wire is a digital condition. Downstream Relief Valve is used to limit the maximum allowable downstream pressure.
- Page 34 Lift This refers to how high water must be "lifted" to reach the pump suction. Lift stations have even harsher NPSHR than Flooded Suction systems. Loss of prime safety is an excellent choice for these systems. Auto-re-prime systems are available to help maintain a full suction line (CRD reprime, vacuum pumps).
- Page 35 Relay This is a normally open or normally closed device that changes output state when it is energized or de-energized, and sends or removes a 120VAC signal to the PLC. SCADA Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. Sequential alternation One of several methods of selecting which pump to use first. This method simply picks #1 the first time, #2 the next and so on.
