Original installation and operating instructions. 1. Limited warranty Products manufactured by GRUNDFOS PUMPS CORPORATION CONTENTS (Grundfos) are warranted to the original user only to be free of Page defects in material and workmanship for a period of 24 months Limited warranty from date of installation, but not more than 30 months from date of manufacture.
3.2 Operating conditions 4. Identification pH value 4.1 Nameplate 4-10. The nameplate is located on the top cover of the pump. Liquid and ambient temperature The extra nameplate supplied with the pump should be affixed at 34-104 °F (1 °C to +40 °C). the installation site.
4.2 Type key All KPL and KWM pumps described in these installation and operating instructions are identified by the type designation stated in the order confirmation and other documentation supplied with the pump. Code Example .665 Pump type Submersible axial-flow pump...
5. Safety The pump may lose its stability during transportation, assembly or dismantling if tilted more than 10 ° in any direction from its normal position (BS EN 809:1998+A1:2009). Warning Pump installation in pits must be carried out by specially trained persons. Warning It must be possible to lock the mains switch in the 0/Off position.
6.2 Storage Do not remove the protection from the free end of the power supply cable or sensor cables until the electrical connection is to be made. Whether protected or not, the free cable end must Caution never be exposed to moisture or water. Non-compliance may involve the risk of damage to the motor.
Please contact Grundfos for details. – Clamp wire rope and all cables together at distances of Take particular care when installing the KPL or KWM pumps, as 20 in. (508 mm) between the clamps adapted to weight of the procedure is not similar to that of other submersible pumps.

The ground (earth) lead is green and marked "PE". Moisture 8. Pump protection switch KPL, KWM pumps are equipped with the following protective switches and sensors. In the Factory Product Variant (FPV) version, the sensors can be chosen individually. Standard Sensor...
8.1 Thermal protection of the stator 8.2 Moisture switches The KPL and KWM pumps have two moisture switches (one Thermal switches positioned in the terminal box and one in the lower part of the • Standard KPL and KWM pumps incorporate three bimetallic stator housing).
One pump can be connected to an IO 113. The WIO sensor can be used together with Grundfos IO 113 or Together with the sensors, IO 113 forms a galvanic separation SM 113, but it can also be used together with other controllers between the motor voltage in the pump and the controller with 4-20 mA inputs.
Requirements • The thermal protection of the motor must be connected. The KPL, KWM pumps can be connected to a separate Grundfos pump controller for level control, which is available as an • Peak voltage and dU/dt must be in accordance with the table accessory: below.
11. Electrical connection 12. Startup The electrical connection should be carried out in accordance 12.1 Before startup with local regulations. Turn the propeller or impeller by hand (clockwise seen from the The supply voltage and frequency are marked on the pump motor side).
13.2 Normal inspection Pumps running in normal operation should be inspected twice a year. Check the following points: Inspection Remedy Replace or fix worn and damaged parts. Visible parts of Make sure that all screws, bolts and nuts are Direction of pump and tightened.
1. Remove the screws and lift the pump off the suction casing. 2. Replace the wear ring. 3. Assemble the pump in reverse order. If you have any questions, please contact the nearest Grundfos or service workshop. 13.4 Replacing the wear ring, KWM When the clearance between the impeller blade and the wear ring exceeds 0.078 in.
14. Fault finding Fault Cause Remedy 1. Pump does not start. a) A fault signal is indicated on • If the bearing temperature is high, take the pump to the workshop the control panel. for repair. • If the stator temperature is high, check that the water is able to move around the stator housing without any objections, and that the propeller/impeller rotates easily.
This product or parts of it must be disposed of in an environmentally sound way: 1. Use the public or private waste collection service. 2. If this is not possible, contact the nearest Grundfos company or service workshop. Subject to alterations.
