You can seek further information on your submersible pump in product booklets or at ALARKO CARRIER’s authorized dealers. Keep this booklet for future reference. Following the commissioning, our authorized dealers and service agents will provide you with information on the use and maintenance of the pump.
GENERAL WARNINGS Do not touch any part or setting of your pump for reasons of running, adjusting or maintaining, except for the operations stated in this manual. The damages caused by the type of power cord you use with your pump and the nonconformities in the outage are evaluated outside the scope of the warranty.
ALARKO CARRIER Cus- tomers Service Management. Keep your copy of this certificate in a safe place to produce it during any service work within the framework of the guarantee.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • A submersible pump group consists of a motor and a pump. A multi-step, vertical, and centrifugal pump is mechanically attached to an electric mo- tor operating in water. • In 6”, 7”, 8”, 10”, and 14” submersible pumps, pump rod has slide bea- rings.

• Do not use the control panel to supply electricity to any other unit or ambience. • If the pump needs any repair and is to be sent to Alarko Carrier Authori- zed Service Agency, the control panel is to be sent as well.
Seek advise from Alarko Carrier Authorized Dealers for all sorts of electric or mechanic problems and for the maintenance and repair of pump. The services undertake three functions in three steps: - First Step: Instalment of pump into well. - Second Step: Instalment of pump into well + Repair and maintenance of pump.

STANDART ELEKTRIC CONTROL PANEL Standard Electric control panel has the following elements: 1. Electric Control LED: Displays electricity supply and failure of supply. 2. Main Switch: Opens and shuts electric supply to the panel. 3. Control Switch: Starts up motor. 4.
INSTALLATION ELEMENTS Hydrolic Circuit Elements • Check-valve: There is a check-valve in the vent body which is in the upper part of the pump. (See. Diagrams for the installation of pump into well on page …). • Valve: There must be a valve on the discharge pipe to adjust flow rate. Continuous operation of pump when the valve is open or without any valve, or operation of pump for more than five minutes when the valve is closed reduces the life of pump and/or motor (See.

Installation into an average well Check Valve: There is a check valve on the vent body which is in the upper part of the pump. It is recommended that an external check valve is used on the pumping pipe next to the well, between the pump and the valve, and repeat this every 200 meters in long pumping lines.
1. Check the electric supply cable to ensure that it is intact without any damages. If it is damaged, it has to be replaced by Alarko Carrier Aut- horized Dealers.
network in terms of voltage, number of phase, current, and frequency. If the values do not match, wait until the proper energy values are supplied before starting the motor. 5. Note: It is recommended that an external check valve is used on the pumping pipe next to the well, between the pump and the valve.

If you need to add anti-freeze and water mixture into motor: 1. Charge motor with the mixture with a water filler (Figure 3). The content of the mixture is explained below. 2. Wait for 30 minutes before taking the water filler out. By this time any air bubbles will be dispelled.
For further information on installation, refer to “Drawings of Installation in the Well”. 1- Secure a carrier bracket below the coupling at the upper part of the 0.5-meter short riser. 2- Secure the riser to the forcing port of the pump with a screw.

5- In water charged star-delta start-up motors, measure the insulation of each duct by making one end of the Meger Unit touch each of the multi- duct two electricity cables and the other end touch the pump casing. - The duct with an insulation value of 0 mega ohm is the frame conductor.
12. Lift the pump group a bit with the help of the second clamp and tigh- ten the first clamp. Descend the pump group into the well so that the second clamp is suspended in the well opening. 13. Continue the same operation until the pump is in desired depth. 14.
5%. COMMISSIONING First Checks ! Alarko Carrier authorized Services are authorized for conducting the commissioning operations. 1- Measure the grid voltage. -The deviation of the measured value for all three phases must remain inside -10%, +6% tolerances.
- If this value is not below 2 megaohms, pump operation can continue safely. - If the measured value is below 2 megaohms, Alarko Carrier Authorized Service must be informed. - Isolation check must be performed each month.
Checking the Electrical Values When the pump is commissioned, the current, voltage and pressure valu- es at the running point must be recorded and it should be observed if there is any change in these values in time. Checking the Electrical Hardware - Electrical hardware (including the panel) must be checked every six months.

Is it low? pump deeper as long as the well conditions are suitable. Decrease the flow rate throttling down the valve. Do the movements on ammeter continue? Do not run the pump. Please call Alarko Carrier Authorized Service.
