In case a filter is not installed, please contact Grundfos. Pumps can be connected ideally to a Grundfos CUE, or a soft starter, depending on choice. When pumps are connected to a frequency converter pay attention to the motor insulation system.
9. Starting up the product 8.3.1 CUE or VFD The optional CUE or VFD, which is either a Grundfos The pump can be started by either direct-online- variable-frequency converter or a general variable starting, star-delta starting, soft starter or frequency frequency converter, offers better pump protection converter.
9.1 Preparations for starting up 1. Place the pump on a plain surface. 2. Secure the pump by using the lifting chain and a DANGER crane to prevent it from tilting. The pump must Rotating elements rest on the ground without any load on the crane. Death or serious personal injury See fig.
9.2 Startup Method 2 - Pump installed in a column pipe • Make sure the column pipe is not filled with water. WARNING • Make sure the pump is installed correctly. See Automatic startup section Installing the KPL and KWM pump.
