Installation CAUTION! Warning of feed chemical spraying around PTFE seals, which have already been used / compressed, can no longer reliably seal a hydraulic connection. – New, unused PTFE seals must always be used. CAUTION! Suction problems possible The valves may no longer close properly using feed chemi‐ cals with a particle size of greater than 0.3 mm.

This can either be in the form of a decla‐ ration of conformity from the supplier (ProMinent) for the entire unit or, with the supply of individual components, with the operator's explosion protection document.
Page 21
Installation WARNING! Danger of electric shock A mains voltage may exist inside the motor or electrical ancil‐ laries. – If the housing of the motor or electrical ancillaries has been damaged, you must disconnect it from the mains immediately. Only return the pump to service after an authorised repair.
Page 22
Installation Install a motor protection switch, as the motors have no fuse. Install an emergency cut-off switch or include the motor in the emer‐ gency cut-off management plan for the system. Only connect the motor to the voltage supply using a suitable cable. Key motor data can be found on the nameplate.
Page 23
Installation Install the power supply cable to the pacing relay PCB - see the figure in the chapter entitled "Overview of equipment and control elements": Cable B, right. CAUTION! Warning of overload If the current through the relay becomes too high, it can be destroyed by heating.

Start up This will rule out the pump losing oil and suffering damage. Checking the direction of rotation When commissioning the unit, check whether the drive motor is rotating correctly - check this against the arrow on the motor housing or the dia‐ gram in the chapter entitled "Electrical Installation."...
– These measures constitute the minimum protective measurements stipulated by ProMinent. It is the duty of the operator to eliminate any other dangers identified by appropriate measures. WARNING! It is mandatory that you read the safety information and specifications in the "Storage, Transport and Unpacking"...

Maintenance Changing the gear oil WARNING! Risk of burns due to hot gear oil The gear oil may become very hot when the pump is heavily loaded – When draining oil, avoid contact with the oil running out. Gear oil Gear oil Supplied quantity Part no.
Repairs Repairs Safety notes WARNING! EX pump in area at risk from explosion – Ensure correct operation in general, particularly of the power end and bearings, by regular monitoring (for leaks, noises, temperatures, smell ...). WARNING! It is mandatory that you read the safety information and specifications in the "Storage, Transport and Unpacking"...
Repairs Unsuitable spare parts for the valves may lead to problems for the pumps. Only use new components that are especially adapted to – fit your valve (both in terms of shape and chemical resistance). Use the correct spare parts kits. In case of doubt, refer –...
Repairs Fig. 16: Discharge valve (double ball valve). Cleaning a suction valve A suction valve is dismantled, cleaned and assembled in the same way as a discharge valve. Please note, however, that when assembling, the valve seat (3) must be aligned in the other direction. The fine machined side must point in the flow direction with all valve seats (3).

Repairs Attach the upper protective cover to the turret. If fitted: Connect the flushing tubes to the hose nozzles.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Safety notes WARNING! EX pumps in areas at risk from explosion – Generally ensure proper operation (no leaks, unusual noises, high temperatures, unusual smell ...) especially with the power end and the bearings. – Do not allow the pump to heat up because of lack of oil. If oil is escaping, investigate the leak immediately and eliminate the cause.

The use of untested third party parts can result in personnel injuries and material damage. – Only fit parts to metering pumps, which have been tested and recommended by ProMinent. CAUTION! Warning of feed chemical spraying around Feed chemical can spray out of the hydraulic components if they are manipulated or opened due to pressure in the liquid end and adjacent parts of the system.
