The symbols and hazard statements below may Fitting the submersible drop cable ..13 appear in Grundfos installation and operating Pipework connection ... . . 13 instructions, safety instructions and service Start-up .
1.2 Notes 2.2 Generator operation The symbols and notes below may appear in It is safe to operate the SQ/SQE with a generator. Grundfos installation and operating instructions, The pump can safely be operated with a generator safety instructions and service instructions.
The maximum sand content of the water must not exceed 50 g/m . A larger sand content will result in pump lifetime reduction and in blockage. Installation depth Before pumping liquids with higher viscosity than water, contact Grundfos. Dynamic water level must be above the pump.
If the actual temperature of the pumped liquid pump overheat. exceeds the specified value or the operating conditions otherwise fall outside the specified conditions, the pump may stop. Contact Grundfos. 3.5 Liquid temperatures and cooling SQ/SQE pump in a borehole Pos. Description...
‐ 3.6 Selection of diaphragm tank, precharge The installation must be designed for the maximum pump pressure. pressure setting and pressure switch The pump has a built-in soft starter providing 2 WARNING seconds run-up time. Therefore the pressure at the Pressurised system pressure switch and diaphragm tank during start Death or serious personal injury...
3.7 Well system pressure overload To prevent overpressure, install a pressure relief valve downstream of the well head. The setpoint of the pressure relief valve must be at least 30 psi above the pressure setting. If a relief valve is installed, make sure it is connected to an appropiate drainage point. Using P and Q , the minimum diaphragm tank size, precharge pressure and pressure switch settings can...
The supply voltage, rated maximum current and power factor (PF) appear from the motor nameplate. The required voltage for Grundfos submersible motors, measured at the motor terminals, is -10 % to +6 % of the nominal voltage during continuous operation including variation in the supply voltage and losses in cables.
If for any reason the motor liquid has been drained or value. lost, the motor must be refilled with motor liquid. On SQ/SQE pumps, a leakage current of 3.5 mA at 230 V, 50 Hz, can typically be measured. The leakage Use Grundfos motor liquid SML 3.
1. Make sure that the submersible drop cable lies flat in the cable guard. Specific resistance of the drop cables The specific resistance of the drop cables supplied by Grundfos for SQ and SQE pumps is 0.02 Ω mm...
4.5 Fitting the submersible drop cable Connect the submersible drop cable and the motor cable with a type KM Grundfos cable termination kit. Connect the submersible drop cable and the motor cable with a type KM Grundfos cable termination kit.

Pipework connection Pos. Description Cable clips Straining wire Static water level Maximum 150 m 4.6.1 Cable clips Cable clips must be fitted every 3 metres. When connecting plastic pipes, fit the cable clips loosely as plastic pipes expand when loaded. Where flanged pipes are used, fit the cable clips above and below each joint.
Assembly of pump part and motor, showing 6. Maintenance and service available area for clamping Service kits, service tools and the Grundfos Service Manual are available on request from Grundfos. The pumps can be serviced at a Grundfos service Motor (P2) centre. [kW] [mm] 6.1 Contaminated pumps...
Do not store the pump without motor liquid in it. 3. Check that all loose parts fall out of the pump. The non-return valve can be fitted in a Grundfos service workshop. 6.4 Fitting the cable plug to the motor...
8. Fault finding DANGER Electric shock Death or serious personal injury ‐ Before starting any work on the product, make sure that the power supply has been switched off and that it cannot be accidentally switched on. 8.1 The pump does not run Cause Remedy The fuses in the electric installation are blown.
Cause Remedy Leakage in the pipework. Check and repair the pipework. The riser pipe is defective. Replace the riser pipe. Undervoltage has occurred. Check the power supply. 8.4 Frequent starts and stops Cause Remedy The differential of the pressure switch between the Increase the differential.
9. Checking the power supply DANGER Electric shock Death or serious personal injury ‐ Before starting any work on the product, make sure that the power supply has been switched off and that it cannot be accidentally switched on. 1.
