ASP TSP Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions
Description and Specifications: The Model TSP is a close-coupled, end suction, two stage, enclosed impeller,
back pull-out, centrifugal pump. Connections are NPT threaded. All wetted metal pump parts are 18-8, 304SS or
better.
O-rings and elastomeric seal parts may be Buna, Viton, or EPR. Motors are specially built, based upon a NEMA
56 frame, with a C-Face mounting flange and an extended keyed shaft. All pumps use a mechanical seal to
prevent leakage around the motor shaft.
Operating limits: The model TSP is designed for 120 PSIG at 200F with standard mechanical seal. Motor is
limited to 20 starts per hour, evenly distributed.
Notice: Upon receipt of this equipment, inspect the carton and the equipment for any damages that might
have occurred during shipment and notify the carrier immediately. Damage that occurs during shipment is
not the responsibility of American Stainless Pumps. Failure to notify the carrier will place responsibility on you for
any repairs or damages occurring during shipment.
Safety Instructions: To avoid serious or fatal injury and/or property damage, read and
follow all instructions in this manual. Review all instructions and warnings included in
this manual before attempting any work on this pump or pump/motor assembly. Do not
remove or alter any decals.
The motor used to drive this pump is an electrical device connected to a potentially lethal
voltage power source. Take all precautions required when working with or on the motor and its
power source, including but not limited to:

Always disconnect and lockout the electrical power source before attempting any connection, maintenance or
repairs. Failure to do so can cause electrical shocks, burns and death.

Install, ground and wire motors in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.

Install an all leg disconnect switch near the motor for quick access.

The electrical supply must match the motor nameplate specifications and the motor must be wired per the
wiring diagram on the motor to match the selected voltage. Incorrect wiring can cause fire and motor
damage and will void the warranty.

Most single phase motors and some three phase motors will have automatic thermal protection switches
wired in the motor. These switches will open and stop the motor if the motor overheats. As the motor cools,
these switches will close and start the motor automatically and unexpectedly.

Motors that do not have thermal overloads must have a properly sized contactors or magnetic starters and
overload switches (or fuses) in the starter panel. Three phase motors require all leg protection.

Use only stranded copper wire to motor and ground. Wire size must limit the maximum voltage drop to 10% of
the motor nameplate voltage at the motor terminals.

Three phase motors can rotate in either direction. The pump will operate properly only in one direction
(clockwise when looking from the motor end, counter-clockwise when viewed from the pump end). Operating
the pump in the reverse rotation may damage or destroy the pump and motor and voids the warranty.
