Instruction book differences as soon as possible to the sender. Always quote the pump type and serial number stamped on the data plate. • The owner is responsible for maintaining the unit in a safe operating condition. Unit parts and accessories must be replaced if missing or unsuitable for safe operation.
• Pumps shall be stalled on an even, solid floor, in a clean location with sufficient ventilation. If the floor is not level or can vary in inclination, consult Atlas Copco. • The electrical connections shall correspond to local codes. The machines shall be earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses or circuit breakers.

Instruction book Main parts General description The PAC F44-88 E, PAC H64-108 E and PAC F1212 E dry-prime centrifugal pumps, is suitable for handling clean water, dirty water or liquids containing solids in suspension. The PAC F44-88 E, PAC H64-108 E and PAC F1212 E pump is driven by s an electric motor. An overview of the main parts is given in the diagram below.
Instruction book Figure 1: Flow Diagram 2.1.1 Operation A centrifugal pump and a membrane type vacuum pump form the pump with automatic vacuum priming. If there is no water in the pump when assembly starts running, the float of the air/water separation chamber lowers, thereby allowing the intake of the vacuum pump.
Despite the pump is able to deal with air in the suction line, Atlas Copco recommends to avoid this situation as far as possible in order to guarantee a better performance and lifetime of the pump.
Instruction book Mechanical features The mechanical features described in this chapter are standard features of this pump. For all other mechanical features, see section General description. 2.4.1 Pump The pump is fitted with an impeller which is able to manage solids in suspension. The machine can only operate if it is primed.

Instruction book WARNING Check if the power supply voltage and the frequency comply with the motor data plate, before using the motor. Ensure that all wiring is made according to the connection diagram on the motor data plate. Examine if motor is stably grounded in agreement with the harmonised standards to prevent accidents.

Instruction book Installation and connection Lifting To lift the unit by means of a hoist with lifting strap, a lifting eye has been integrated in the structure and is easily accessible from the top of the unit. NOTE With an appropriate hoist equipped with a scale of adequate capacity, do not hook the ropes to parts of the motor or pump.
Place the pump on a horizontal, even and a solid floor. The pump can operate in a slant position not exceeding 3% (in both senses: front/rear and left right). Contact the Atlas Copco technical office for installations at the limit of the prescribed inclination.
Instruction book Put the motor in a well cooled position. Ensure that cooling is not obstructed by any machines or walls. The minimum distance to the nearest wall should be at least a quarter length of the fan cover. The inlet air temperature must be at ambient temperature. NOTE For more information about indoor installation, consult your local Atlas Copco dealer.

In the same way, bends in the suction should be avoided as much as possible. Atlas Copco recommends fluid velocities up to 2 m/s (6 ft/sec) on the suction and 3 m/s (9 ft/sec) on the discharge.
Instruction book Operating instructions NOTE The pump may not be used in an explosive (inflammable) environment or to pump inflammable liquids. NOTE When there is device for remote controlling on machine, it may start automatically and thus unexpectedly. The operator can exclude the Remote Controlling and chose the operating mode: Local and Remote Controlling.
Instruction book Maintenance The maintenance schedule contains a summary of the maintenance instructions. Read the respective section before taking maintenance measures. For motor maintenance, refer to Motor Operation Manual. The maintenance schedule has to be seen as a guideline for units operating in a dusty environment typical to the pump's applications.

Instruction book NOTE * - Ensure that terminal box is dry and clean, all contacts are rust-free. The seals are in perfect operating conditions and all unused threaded holes are properly closed thus, ensuring the degree of protection indicated on the data plate. NOTE ** - Visually examination the motor and coupling.

Instruction book DISCHARGE OF RESIDUAL WATER OF THE PUMP Discharge the residual water of pump in the case that the machine is used with a temperature near 0°C, or in the case of a long period of inactivity. LUBRIFICATING THE PUMP Check the oil level every month.
Instruction book Reference Description Oil filing plug Oil level control Oil discharge plug Adjustments and service procedures 5.3.1 Positioning the impeller with reference to the wear plate(s) In all models, the distance between the top of the impeller blades and the surface of the wear plate must be between the intervals shown in the images.

Instruction book PAC F44-66-88 PAC H108 PAC F1212 5.3.2 Replacement belt The vacuum pump (1) and shaft (2) are coupled with belts and pulleys. Remove the guard belt. Check that the belts are not damaged or broken every 500 hours or 6 months; at the same time check the alignment of the pulleys (for example, using a square ruler).
Page 32
Instruction book The belts used are the detachable link type; to remove the belt release the link, turning the head of the pin by 90 degrees Fig.A. Insert the tool turning it (to reassemble the belt, overlap the last link by inserting it on the head of the pin and turn it by 90°), Fig.B.

Fig.G. 5.3.3 Servicing of impeller Pump Hinge The Atlas Copco Pump is integrated with a Hinge mechanism to access the impeller in order to perform basic cleaning and examining the impeller and wear plate conditions. 5.3.4 Inspection check valve The Check Valve requires no scheduled lubrication or maintenance.
Page 34
Instruction book For service or inspection, the valve can be serviced without removal from the line. All work on the valve should be performed by a skilled mechanic with proper tools and a power hoist for larger valves. Disassembly may be required to inspect the disc for wear or the valve for deposits. If there are deposits they should be removed and if the rubber disc is damaged it must be replaced.
Instruction book Checks and troubleshooting NOTE When a failure occurs, always report what you experienced before, during and after the failure. Information with regard to the vibrations, exhaust gas colour, insulation check, odours, leaks and damaged parts, ambient temperature, daily and normal maintenance and altitude might be helpful to quickly locate the problem.
