Pre-Installation Checklist; Confirm You Have The Correct Pump; Check The Condition Of The Pump; Verify Electrical Requirements - Grundfos UP XL Serie Instrucciones De Instalación Y Funcionamiento

Warning!
A faulty motor or wiring can cause
electrical shock that could be
fatal, whether touched directly or
conducted through standing
water. For this reason, proper
grounding of the pump to the
power supply's grounding
terminal is required for safe
installation and operation.
In all installations, the
above-ground metal plumbing
should be connected to the power
supply ground as described in the
National Electrical Code. All
wiring must comply with the
National Electrical Code, state,
and local regulations.

3. Pre-installation checklist

3.1 Confirm you have the correct pump

• Read the pump nameplate to ensure it is the
one you ordered.
• Compare the pump's nameplate data and its
performance curve (for head, gpm, etc.) with
the application in which you plan to install it.
• Will the pump do what you expect it to do?
3.1.1 Pump to system type
recommendations
• Open systems (i.e. potable water):
Stainless steel or bronze volute (pump
housing) only.
• Closed systems (i.e. airless, non-potable
water): Cast iron, stainless steel, or bronze
volute (pump housing).
Other considerations regarding Grundfos Small
UP and UPS pumps:
• These pumps are intended for indoor use
only.
• If installed outdoors the pump must be
protected by an appropriate, well ventilated,
water-tight enclosure to keep out moisture
and dirt.
• Minimum ambient temperatures must be no
lower than 33 °F (1 °C).
• For ambient and fluid temperature see
sections 3.4 Pumped liquid requirements
and 7. Additional technical data.

3.2 Check the condition of the pump

The pump's shipping carton is specially
designed around the pump during production to
prevent damage.
As a precaution, it should remain in the carton
until you are ready to install it. At that point, look
at the pump and examine it for any
damage that may have occurred during
shipping.
Examine any other parts of the shipment as well
for any visible damage. Once the pump has
been removed from the box, care should be
taken NOT to drop or mishandle the pump.
Box contents:
• one pump
• two gaskets (flanged units only)
• one Installation and Operation Instruction
(I&O).

3.3 Verify electrical requirements

Verify the electrical supply to be certain the
voltage, phase and frequency match that of the
pump motor. The proper operating voltage and
other electrical information can be found on the
pump nameplate.
This pump's motor is designed to run on
+ / - 10 % of the nameplate-rated voltage.

3.4 Pumped liquid requirements

Warning!
The Grundfos Small UP/UPS
pump is intended for use with
water only. The pump must not be
used for the transfer of
flammable liquids such as
diesel oil, gasoline, and similar
liquids.
The pump is not for pool or
marine use.
The pump can be used to circulate:
• Potable hot water.
• Water containing glycol for hydronic heating
(see section 7. Additional technical data for
additional limitations).
• Cooling water.
In domestic hot-water systems it is advisable to
use stainless steel pump housing versions of
this pump.
All pump types (stainless, bronze or cast iron
pump housing) should not be used in water with
a degree of hardness lower than 14 grains per
gallon of hardness.
Fluids should be clean and should not contain
solid particles, fibers, or mineral oils.
If the pump is installed in a heating system, the
water should meet the requirements of accepted
standards on water quality in heating systems.
The fluid should not contain solid particles,
fibers, or mineral oils.
