  • Page 15: Transportation, Conveyance, Storage And Installation

    Transportation, conveyance, storage and installation Precautions for transporting, moving and storing the pump (1) Do not unpack the container unnecessarily. If you unpack the container unnecessarily, securely pack again in such a manner that the product body does not jump out of it and fall down during transportation, conveyance or storage. (2) When you transport, move, or store the pump, ensure that the pump is located in a well-ventilated place with minimum exposure to dust and moisture in an environment at an ambient temperature of -25 to 55 degrees Celsius and humidity of lower than 85%RH.

  • Page 16: Precautions For Installation

    Caution Do not run the pump at a frequency exceeding 60 Hz. Failure to observe this may overload the motor, causing it to burn out. Precautions for installation Warning Before rotating the main shaft by hand to check it, be sure to turn off the main power.
  • Page 17 (11) If the system could be exposed to the freezing temperature in winter, be sure to apply antifreeze measures such as heat insulation and heater installation to the pump, valves, piping, etc. (12) Install the pump securely. Recommended size of pump mounting bolt: M6 Note Securely tighten the bolts.

  • Page 18: Precautions For Piping Work

    Precautions for piping work (1) The pipes should be as short and straight as possible (with minimal joints and valves). Use pipes whose bore size is equal to or larger than that of the pump. Piping which is thin and has many bends may decrease the discharge rate.
  • Page 19 (6) The position of the terminal box relative to the discharge port can be changed in steps of 90 degrees by rearranging the frame of the motor. If you rearrange the frame of the motor, ask Teral Inc. about the Cable outlet operating procedures.
  • Page 20 • If the motor is powered at a different voltage, it cannot be inverter-driven. (If it is necessary to use the motor with an inverter, contact Teral Inc.) • An inverter-driven motor generates a magnetic sound which may sound more annoying than those generated by the drives using unconverted commercial power.

  • Page 21: Operation

    Operation Check items before test operation 4.1.1 Check items related to the electrical system (1) Check that the equipment is correctly wired. (2) Check that the terminals are securely connected. (3) Check that the equipment is securely grounded. (4) Check that the setup value of the overload protection device is consistent with the rated current value of the motor.

  • Page 22: Running The Pump (Test Operation)

    Warning Before rotating the main shaft by hand to check it, be sure to turn off the main power. A sudden startup of the pump may cause an accident. (4) Open the air vent valve to release air. After the air release, close the air vent valve. If no air vent valve is provided, open the valve on the discharge piping to release air.
  • Page 23 Caution Do not check the rotational direction by the idling of the pump. Running the pump dry even for a short time may cause damage of the sliding parts (e.g. mechanical seals and bearings) in the pump, leakage or unusual noise. Caution Avoid reverse rotation because it may cause failures.
  • Page 24 Caution Minimize the frequency of startups and shutdowns of the pump as it may lead to premature damage to the pump. Do not start the pump more than 60 times an hour. (9) If a power failure occurs during operation, be sure to turn off the power. (10) Before restarting the pump, confirm that the pump is at a complete stop.
  • Page 25 Warning Do not put your fingers or other objects into the opening of the motor. Doing so may cause an electrical shock or injury.

  • Page 26: Precautions For Maintenance And Inspection

    Maintenance and inspection Warning Before checking the pump, be sure to turn off the main power. Failure to observe this may lead to a danger because the pump may suddenly start in automatic operation or on other occasions. Warning Before operating, maintaining or checking the pump, ensure that all the relevant workers are informed of the operation and that there are no workers in the dangerous zone.

You can continue to use the pump with the same good quality.

  • Page 28: Periodic Inspection

    If you need to carry out work that requires disassembly of the unit—such as replacement of parts, repairs, or inspection, ask the vendor or the service provider specified by the manufacturer, or Teral Inc. Improper work may lead to malfunctions or accidents.

  • Page 29: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting The following table lists causes of failures and their measures. In the event of a failure, however, you should carefully investigate the problem and ask the vendor to carry out any measures that are considered difficult. Problem Cause (Reference page) Measures (Reference page) Operator * Check the wires and connections.
  • Page 30 * t is specified for reference because the range where the measure can be taken varies depending on the user. Even for the above problems for which “User” is specified as the Operator, ask the vendor or contact Teral Inc. if you have any questions.

  • Page 31: After-Sales Service

    If you find any abnormal conditions of the pump in use, stop the pump operation immediately and then confirm the abnormal conditions. (Refer to Section “6. Troubleshooting [page 6-1].”) If your pump needs disassembly, inspection and repair, contact the vendor from which you purchased or Teral Inc. (Refer to the end of this document.) Never repair by yourself because it may pose a danger.

  • Page 32: Disposal

    Disposal Precautions for disposal When detaching the pump from the equipment for disposal or replacement of the pump, be sure to turn off the mains power in advance. Warning Before detaching the pump, turn off the mains power without fail. Failure to observe this may lead to a danger because the pump may suddenly start in automatic operation or on other occasions.
