Set-up and installation AS pumps are designed for wet well vertical installation on a fixed pedestal or as transportable on a movable stand (skirtbase). The pumps are also suitable for horizontal (except 0631, 0641) or vertical (only 0831, 0841) dry installation. The regulations of DIN 1986 as well as local regulations should be observed when installing the pump. The following guidelines must be observed when setting the lowest switch off point for AS pumps: • Care must be taken during switching on and operation that the hydraulic section is filled with water (dry installation) or alternatively is submerged or under water (wet installation). Other types of operation e.g. snore operation or dry running are not allowed! • The minimum submergence allowed for specific pumps can be found on the dimension installation sheets available by download from www.sulzer.com > Products > Pumps > Submersible Pumps. The regulations covering the use of pumps in sewage applications, together with all regulations involving the use of explosion-proof motors, should be observed. The cable ducting to the control panel should be sealed off in a gas-tight manner by the use of a foaming material after the cable and control circuits have been pulled through. In particular the safety regulations covering work in enclosed areas in sewage plants should be observed together with general good technical practice. Equipotential bonding In pump stations/tanks, equipotential bonding must be carried out according to EN 60079-14:2014 [Ex] or IEC 60364-5-54 [non-Ex] (Regulations for the installation of pipelines, protective measures in high voltage systems). Connection point: Discharge line The discharge line must be installed in compliance with the relevant regulations. DIN 1986/100 and EN 12056 applies in particular to the following: - The discharge line should be fitted with a backwash loop (180° bend) located above the backwash level and should then flow by gravity into the collection line or sewer. - The discharge line should not be connected to a down pipe. - No other inflows or discharge lines should be connected to this discharge line. ATTENTION The discharge line should be installed so that it is not affected by frost.

9.3.3 Transportable For transportable installation the AS is fitted to a skirtbase. Place the pump on a firm surface which will prevent it from overturning or burrowing down. The skirtbase can also be bolted down to the floor surface, or the pump suspended slightly by the lifting handle. Connect the discharge pipe and cable. Arrange the cable run so that the cables will not be kinked or nipped. Submersible pumps used outdoors must be fitted with a power cable of at least 10 meter length. Other regulations may apply in different countries. Hoses, pipes and valves must be sized to suit the pump performance. 9.3.4 Venting of the volute After lowering the pump into a sump full of water, an air lock may occur in the volute and cause pumping problems. To clear the air lock, shake the pump, or raise the pump in the medium and then lower it again. If necessary, repeat this venting procedure. We strongly recommend that dry-installed AS pumps are vented back into the sump by means of the drilled and tapped hole provided in the volute. Electrical connection Before commissioning, an expert should check that one of the necessary electrical protective devices is available. Earthing, neutral, earth leakage circuit breakers, etc. must comply with the regulations of the local electricity supply authority and a qualified person should check that these are in perfect order. ATTENTION! The power supply system on site must comply with local regulations with regard to cross-sectional area and maximum voltage drop.
• Motor contactor that complies with the requirements of IEC Standard 60947-4-1 and rated for the motor that it controls. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pools. 10.1 Seal monitoring AS pumps can be fitted with an optional leakage sensor (DI) to detect and alert to the ingress of water into the motor chamber (non-Ex and Ex), and seal chamber (non-Ex only). Fitted as standard on 60 Hz Ex (FM). In order to integrate this seal monitoring function into the control panel of the pump it is necessary to fit a Sulzer DI module and connect this in accordance with the circuit diagram below. Power supply Connect terminal 3 to ground or housing of the pump. CA 461 Output Input leakage Sulzer leakage control type CA 461 Electronic amplifier: 110 - 230 V AC 50/60 Hz (CSA).

It is very important to note that with the connection example above it is not possible to identify which sensor/alarm is being activated. As an alternative Sulzer highly recommends to use a separate CA 461 module for each sensor/input, to allow not only identification but also to prompt to the appropriate response to the alarm category/severity.

Commissioning The safety hints in the previous sections must be observed! In explosive zones care must be taken that during switching on and operation of the pumps, the pump section is filled with water (dry running) or alternatively is submerged or under water (wet installation). Ensure in this case that the minimum submergence given in the data sheet is observed. Other types of operation e.g. snore operation or dry running are not allowed. Before commissioning, the unit should be checked and a functional test carried out. Particular attention should be paid to the following: - Have the electrical connections been carried out in accordance with regulations? - Have the thermal sensors been connected? - Is the seal monitoring device (where fitted) correctly installed? - Is the motor overload switch correctly set? - Have the power and control circuit cables been correctly fitted? - Was the sump cleaned out? - Have the inflow and outflows of the pump station been cleaned and checked? - Is the direction of rotation correct - even if run via an emergency generator? - Are the level controls functioning correctly? - Are the required gate valves (where fitted) open? - Do the non-return valves (where fitted) function easily? - Have the hydraulics been vented in the case of dry installed pumps? - Has the volute been vented (see Sec. 9.3.4) ? 11.1 Types of operation and frequency of starting...
NOTE The direction of rotation measuring device monitors the direction of rotation of the mains supply or that of an emergency generator. Maintenance and service Before commencing any maintenance work the unit should be completely disconnected from the mains by a qualified person and care should be taken that it cannot be inadvertently switched back Repair work must only be carried out by qualified personnel approved by Sulzer. When carrying out any on-site service or maintenance work i.e. cleaning, venting, fluid inspection or changing, and adjustment of the bottom plate gap, the safety regulations covering work in enclosed areas of sewage installations as well as good general technical practices should be followed. Under continuous running conditions the pump motor housing can become very hot. To prevent burn injury allow to cool down before handling. Coolant temperature can reach up to 60 °C under normal operating conditions.
