Introduction Scope and definitions This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Edwards HV8000 Booster Pumps, abbreviated to ‘HV8000 pumps’ or ‘pumps’ in the remainder of this manual. You must use the pumps as specified in this manual.
The HV8000 pumps can be supplied in 'bareshaft' form without any motor or fitted with a 18.5 kW IEC motor. HV8000 VF and HF pumps with motors are supplied with the motor mounted via a bell-housing and connected through a direct drive coupling: refer to Figure 3 and 5.
You must ensure that your pump is suitable for your application. If you have any doubts as to the suitability of the pump for your application, contact your supplier or Edwards for advice. Normal operation WARNING A booster must always be used in conjunction with a backing pump - never attempt to operate it alone.
Edwards endeavour to supply dual voltage motors preset to the highest of the selectable voltages. For motor current information refer to the motor rating plate.
