Assembly 14. Fit the locking ring (188). 1. Fit the O-rings (150b). 2. Clean the bearing journal in the non-drive end with a clean cloth. 3. Lubricate the bearing. 15. Fitting the locking ring 16. Fit the drive end flange (156b). Use a thin pin to align the holes of the bearing plates (155) with the holes of the flange.
18. Remove the flange mounting tool and nuts. The flange should stay in place. 19. Fit the screws (185) and nuts (208b). Cross-tighten the screws. Torque: 5-6 Nm. 20. Fit the gaskets (208a) and screws (208) in the two available holes of the flange.
Use the PC Tool E-products for that purpose. To establish connection to the motor, use the Grundfos GO Remote MI 301 or PC Tool Link. Fig. 34 Selecting the user interface 7.15.1 Connection to motor by means of Grundfos GO...

The factory-set interval between relubrications is stated on the grease. bearing nameplate placed on the motor. The relubrication interval can be changed by a Grundfos service technician. It is possible to relubricate the bearings five times according to the preset interval. When the preset interval has been reached after the fifth relubrication, a warning will be given to replace the bearings.
The fault cause will be stored in the pump alarm or warning log. Fault indications via Grundfos Eye See the indication of motor status by means of Grundfos Eye and the contact positions of signal relays in the installation and operating instructions for the MGE motor.
9.2 Fault indications The fault indication below can be read by means of the number in brackets, as text or as status indications on the control panel, depending on the equipment available. Grundfos Eye Condition/cause Remedy External fault (3) An external signal has reported an Check the parameter or the unit reporting the "External fault"...

Grundfos Eye Condition/cause Remedy High motor temperature (65, 66) The motor temperature is too high. a) Check that the ambient temperature is within the specified range. b) Check that the pump is not covered by dust, dirt or other foreign matter which reduces the air cooling of the pump.
9.3 Functional module WARNING Electric shock Death or serious personal injury - Do not touch the terminals of the power module as they are still live. - Do not touch the relay RL1 as it may still be live. Measuring equipment must be free of static electricity or have same potential as the motor before being used for measurement without isolation cover.

2. If the light diode is flashing, the functional module is working correctly. The fault may then be in the control panel. See section 7.4 Replacing the control panel. If the status diode of the functional module is off, check if the power module supplies voltage by measuring 8.5 VDC on the VFE plug connection between the functional module and the power module (see fig.
Page 24
Measure the voltage across the input and read the current in the Fig. 58 Testing the digital input circuit by means of Grundfos GO Remote or PC Tool. The current value must be equal to voltage divided with resistance. Digital output, DO/open collector, OC Alternatively, a milliammeter can be connected in series with the See the settings of the output in PC Tool.
9.4 Power module WARNING Electric shock Death or serious personal injury - Do not touch the terminals of the power module as they are still live. Measuring equipment must be free of static electricity or have same potential as the motor before being used for measurement without isolation cover.

4. Measure the DC voltage across the capacitors (GND and DC+) to ensure that the capacitors are not short-circuited. If the function is correct, the voltage must be ≥ 566 V (at a mains voltage of 400 V). See figures 63 and 64. If not, the module is defective.
9.5 Winding resistance As the motor is star-connected, the easiest way to measure the winding resistance is to measure across two phases. Measure at the coil temperatures stated in the table below. It may be necessary to let the motor cool off if it has been running or if it was stopped because of short circuit or overload.
