  • Page 7: Prior To Use

    Prior to Use Prior to Use 1. Inspect the product a. Ensure that all items on the delivery note or packing list are present, and that no items are damaged. b. Unpack the goods and visually ensure that all parts are undamaged. Check that bolts and screws have not come loose during transit.

  • Page 8: Installation Considerations

    Audex pumps should never be stood on the base of a tank where silt or sand could build iii. Ensure that the cable has no sharp bends, is not pinched, and cannot be drawn into the pump inlet.

  • Page 9: Installation Preparation

    Installation Preparation Installation Preparation 1. Pre-installation a. Recommended required install tools i. AC voltmeter ii. AC ammeter (non-contact CT type) iii. Insulation resistance tester iv. Spanners / wrenches v. Screwdrivers vi. Cable preparation tools as appropriate vii. Electrical panel key...

  • Page 10: Installation Electrical

    Installation Electrical Installation Electrical 1. Electrical connection a. Preparation i. Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the supply match the requirements on the data plate. ii. Ensure that all circuit breakers and similar equipment are rated correctly, and set to the appropriate level where applicable.
  • Page 11 All cable bends should not be sharp. The cables have a minimum bending radius which is available from Audex or your local distributor if in doubt. vii. The voltage drop in long cables must be taken into account. The pump rated voltage is as at the pump, not the supply end of the cable.

  • Page 12: Installation Testing

    Installation Testing Installation Testing 1. Operation – This is a general guide and location specific considerations must be taken into account to ensure safety. i. Attach the hose / pipework ii. Put the pump into the fluid in its final location iii.

  • Page 13: Running

    Installation Testing Running Your pump will not start unless the float switch / level sensor is submerged. After turning the pump on it will not start for 60 seconds, which prevents the pump rapidly cutting on and off when the float switch / level sensor is splashed with water. If the pump is connected up to run the wrong way, it will not start at all.

  • Page 14: Maintenance Routine

    Maintenance Routine Maintenance Routine 1. Routine maintenance a. Oil checks i. Remove the oil plug and take out a small amount of oil. The oil can be extracted easily by tilting the pump so that the oil plug faces downward. If the oil appears discoloured or mixed with water, a likely cause is a defective or worn mechanical seal which means that a full refurbishment is necessary before the pump next runs.

  • Page 27: Maintenance Disassembly Aw 1.5 - 3.7Kw

    Maintenance Disassembly Maintenance Disassembly AW 1.5 - 3.7kW Disassembly Instructions Ensure that the pump has been isolated and that there is not any static energy within the pump system (i.e. that the discharge is not pressurised). Remove the cable gland, and internally disconnect the cable. Lay the pump on its side, with the oil drain plug lowermost over an oil collection vessel.
  • Page 28 Maintenance Disassembly Unfasten the agitator by screwing it anti-clockwise with a spanner whilst ensuring the impeller does not rotate. Remove the impeller spring washer and impeller protecting cap. 10. Remove the impeller, either by pulling directly by hand, or with mechanical aids. Do not under any circumstances heat the impeller.
  • Page 29 Maintenance Disassembly 12. Remove the impeller shim. 13. Take the shaft sleeve out. 14. Take off the impeller v-ring. 15. Unfasten the hex head volute set screws. 16. Carefully take off the volute with attached empty oil chamber. It is important that this part remains perpendicular to the shaft, avoiding contact with the shaft itself.
  • Page 30 Maintenance Disassembly 17. Remove the oil chamber O-ring seal. 18. Remove the screws holding the lower seal retaining plate to the inside of the oil chamber, and carefully take out the lower stationary mechanical seal hard wearing face by applying pressure from the outside face, to avoid damage.
  • Page 31 Maintenance Disassembly 24. Remove the fixings from the lower bearing retention plate, which holds the lower bearing(s) into the bearing housing. 25. Remove the bearing housing from the lower bearing(s) using mechanical aids if necessary. 26. Take out the oil (lip) seal from the bearing housing, where present. 27.

  • Page 32: Maintenance Assembly Aw 1.5 - 3.7Kw

    Maintenance Assembly Maintenance Assembly AW 1.5 - 3.7kW Assembly Instructions With the pump casing upright, place the stator housing o-ring onto the upper cover and the discharge gasket around the discharge. Take the upper casing and feed the stator cables through the gland hole. Place the upper casing onto the main casing (and the handle where present), then insert the set screws and tighten.
  • Page 33 Maintenance Assembly Lay the pump on its side, with the oil plug location uppermost. Insert the wave pad into the upper bearing journal. Heat the upper bearing on a suitable bearing heater, and slide it onto the non-threaded end of the shaft. Add the upper bearing retention circlip if present.
  • Page 34 Maintenance Assembly 21. Place the oil chamber o-ring seal onto the oil chamber. 22. Carefully put the volute assembly onto the shaft, taking great care to ensure that the mechanical seal face does not come into contact with the shaft. 23.
  • Page 35 Maintenance Assembly 27. Push the impeller onto the shaft with anti-seize, do not use any heat. 28. Insert the impeller boss cap, spring washer and screw on the agitator. 29. Place the wear plate shims onto the wear plate and place into the volute, fastening with the strainer studs.
  • Page 36 Maintenance Assembly 31. Pour the recommended amount of oil into the oil chamber (or until almost full). Audex recommends biodegradable hydraulic oil. 32. Ensure the oil plug has its o-ring seal on, and insert it into the pump. Wipe up any excess oil so that any leaks will be quickly spotted.

  • Page 37: Storage

    Storage Storage Storage Instructions If your pump is not needed for longer than one week, run it anyway for at least 10 seconds per week to ensure that the rotating elements do not seize, and the mechanical seal faces remain wetted. If your pump will not be in use for longer than one month, it is not advisable to leave it in the water.
