Operation And Installation - Flotec FPSE9000 Manual Del Usuario

Installation • Operation
Use a 2" (5.1 cm) swing check valve in the discharge
line to prevent backflow of liquid into sump basin.
Check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily
pass solids.
NOTICE For best performance of check valve when
handling solids, do not install it with discharge angled
more than 45° above the horizontal. Do not install check
valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in valve
and prevent opening on startup.
Drill a 3/16" (4.7mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1"-2"
(2.5 - 5.1cm) above pump discharge connection (but
below check valve) to prevent airlocking the pump.
Specifications
Power Supply Required ................................115V, 60 Hz
Liquid Temperature Range .......... 32˚F to 130˚F (0˚–55˚C)
Individual Branch Circuit Req. (Min.) ................. 15 Amps
Full Load Amps ................................................. 8.2 Amps
NOTICE In applications a) requiring more than 30
minutes continuous operation in 55˚C water and b)
where the voltage may periodically drop to 104V (10%
below rated voltage), the motor housing must be 2/3
submerged (at least 10" depth of water) to prevent
overheating.
Electrical
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. When installing, operating, or servicing this pump,
follow safety instructions listed below.
1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
2. DO NOT allow electrical cord plug to be submerged.
3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard
and can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent
pumping and/or damage motor.
4. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is connected
to power supply.
5. DO NOT remove grounding prong from plug or
modify plug.To protect against electrical shock, the
power cord is a three-wire conductor and includes
a 3-prong grounded plug. Plug pump into a 3-wire,
grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Connect pump
according to electrical codes that apply.
For automatic operation, plug the pump power cord
into the automatic float switch plug. Pump will run
continuously when plugged directly into an electrical
outlet. Connect pump to an individual branch circuit
with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size
fuse or circuit breaker according to chart below.

Risk of electrical shock and fire. Can shock,
burn or kill. Be sure that power supply information
(Voltage/ Hertz/Phase) on pump motor nameplate
matches incoming power supply exactly. Install pump
according to all electrical codes that apply.

Operation and Installation

NOTICE Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It will
void the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will
protect motor from burning out due to overheating/
overloading. When motor cools down, overload
protector will automatically reset and start motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be
a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure
in motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
have it serviced by a competent repairman.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is
required.
General
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn
or kill. Before removing pump from basin for service,
always disconnect electrical power to pump and control
switch.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Do not lift pump by power cord. See "Cord Lift
Warning" on Page 5.
Submerge pump in a disinfectant solution (chlorox or
chlorine) for at least one hour before replacing the cord
or switch.
The pump motor contains a special lubricating oil which
should be kept clean and free of water at all times.
