Safety Safety This chapter lists all the generally applicable safety instructions and technical information. Further- more, every other chapter contains specific safety instructions and technical information. All instructions and information must be observed and followed during the various phases of the prod- uct's lifecycle (installation, operation, maintenance, transport etc.).
The technical specifications must be strictly adhered to. If the machine has been switched off by a protective device, it must not be switched on again until the error has been corrected. WILO SE 3.0...
Safety Beware of electrical current Incorrectly performed electrical work can result in fatal injury! This work may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Beware of damp Moisture penetrating cables can damage them and render them useless. Never immerse cable ends in the pumped fluid or other liquids.
- With products which have been operated with a lubricant or cooling fluid (such as oil), this can escape into the pumped fluid if the mechanical shaft seal is defective. Danger - explosive fluids It is absolutely prohibited to pump explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline, kerosene, etc.). The products are not designed for these liquids! WILO SE 3.0...
Safety Warranty This chapter contains the general information on the warranty. Contractual agreements have the highest priority and are not superseded by the information in this chapter! The manufacturer is obliged to correct any defects found in the products it sells, provided that the following requirements have been fulfilled: General information - The defects are caused by the materials used or the way the product was manufactured or...
Product description Product description The machine is manufactured with great care and is subject to constant quality controls. Trouble- free operation is guaranteed if it is installed and maintained correctly. Proper use and fields of Axial machines are suspended directly in the discharge pipe. They are used to pump large amounts of pure, river, raw and cooling water, pre-cleaned waste water or activated sludge up small application elevations.

Transport and storage Transport and storage Delivery On arrival, the delivered items must be inspected for damage. Also check that all parts are present. If any parts are damaged or missing, the transport company or the manufacturer must be informed on the day of delivery.
Installation Installation In order to prevent damage to the machine or serious injury during installation the following points must be observed: - Installation work – assembly and installation of the machine – may only be carried out by qualified persons. The safety instructions must be followed at all times. - The machine must be inspected for transport damage before any installation work is carried out .

Installation Dry-run protection The machine must always be immersed up to the top edge of the propeller hub. For optimum reliability, we recommend installing a dry-run protection system. Correct running is ensured by float switches or electrodes. The float switch / electrode is fastened in the pit and switches off the machine when the water level falls below the minimum coverage level.
Startup Startup The "Startup" chapter contains all the important instructions for the operating personnel for start- ing up and operating the machine safely. The following specifications must be adhered to and checked: - Type of installation - Operating mode - Minimum water coverage / max. submersion If the machine has not been operated for some time, check these speci- fications again and rectify any faults you find.
The machine can be operated on frequency transformers. transformers Observe the data sheet in the appendix of this manual. Activation types with plugs / relays Units with plugs Connect the plug to the socket provided and press the On/Off switch on the relay. WILO SE 3.0...
Startup Please observe the relay manual. Units with relays After starting The rated current is briefly exceeded during the start-up procedure. Once this process has ended, the operating current should no longer exceed the rated current. If the motor does not start immediately after the machine is switched on, it must be switched off immediately.
Maintenance Maintenance The machine and the entire system must be inspected and maintained at regular intervals. The time limit for maintenance is set by the manufacturer and applies to the general conditions of use. The manufacturer should be consulted if the system is to be used with corrosive and/or abrasive pumped liquids, as the time limit between inspections may need to be reduced.
- Checking the insulation resistance two years, whichever is earlier - Changing the lubricant in the sealing room/chamber - Emptying the leakage chamber (not present in all models) - Functional inspection of all safety and control devices WILO SE 3.0...
Maintenance - Coating check and touch-up as required - General overhaul 15,000 operating hours or af- ter five years, whichever is If it is used in highly abrasive or corrosive material, the maintenance earlier intervals should be reduced by 50%! Maintenance tasks Overview of the individual maintenance intervals: The current consumption and voltage is to be monitored periodically during all 3 phases.
3 Fill lubricant by means of the opening in the filling plug (D+). Comply with the specified lubricants and filling quantities. 4 Clean the filling plug (D+), fit with a new sealing ring and screw it in again. WILO SE 3.0...
Maintenance Sealing chamber on oil filler screw and oil drain screw (D+, D-) Fig. 7-1: Position of the screw plugs Repairs The following repairs can be carried out on this machine: - Changing the propeller - Changing the stationary wear rings When carrying out repair work, the following information should always be observed: - Round sealing rings as well as existing seals should always be replaced.
Shutdown Shutdown This chapter provides an overview of the various ways to shut down the machine. For this type of shutdown, the machine remains installed and is not cut off from the electricity sup- Temporary shutdown ply. For temporary shutdown, the machine must remain completely submerged so that it is pro- tected from frost and ice.
Once this work has been completed, the machine can be installed (see “Installation”) and connected to the electricity supply by a specialist. See “Startup” a for instructions on restarting. Only restart the machine if it is in perfect condition and ready for opera- tion. WILO SE 3.1...
Troubleshooting and possible solutions Troubleshooting and possible solutions In order to prevent damage or serious injury while rectifying machine faults, the following points must be observed: - Only attempt to rectify a fault if you have qualified staff. This means each job must be carried out by trained specialist staff.

However, the following points must be observed when operating the converter: Selecting the motor and Any standard WILO motor can be used. If the rated voltage is above 415 V, you must consult the manufacturer. Because of the additional heating caused by harmonics, the rated power of the converter motor should be around 10% more than the power requirement of the pump.
Operation up to 60 Hz A WILO submersible motor can be adjusted up to 60 Hz provided the motor has been rated for the pump’s higher power requirement. However, the rated power should be taken from the 50 Hz data sheets.
