CHAPTER 3
INSTALLATION
Install the pump on a flat surface and secure to prevent movement during start-up and operation, ensuring that there are no
obstructions to the regular flow of cooling air delivered by the motor fan.
If installed for use with drinking water, clean the pump prior to installation ­ also clean if left unused for prolonged periods of time.
The pump must be installed in a well-ventilated area, and relative humidity in the environment must not exceed 50% at 40°C
(condensate free).
Ensure that the installation site is sufficiently sized to enable assembly of the pump on the system and future maintenance operations.
Ensure that the pump installation room or site is not subject to the risk of flooding by the leakage of liquids or other events that may
cause submersion of the pump itself.
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the values specified on the data plate.
DANGER
To avoid breakdown of the system with the risk of physical injury, use pipelines, connectors and accessories suited to the
maximum operating pressure values.
DANGER
All pipeline connections must be made by qualified personnel in conformity with current local standards.
To avoid the need to drain the system in the event of pump maintenance, the installation of a shutoff valve is recommended, on the
suction and delivery pipelines.
DANGER
If the pump remains in operation with the delivery valve closed for more than a few seconds, the liquid will overheat. Never
use the pump with the shutoff valve closed on the delivery side.
The pump should be installed in such a way to avoid the risk of air pockets in the body or pipelines, in particular on the suction side of
the pump.
Pipelines and valves must be correctly sized according to the installation.
Pipelines must not cause excessive mechanical stress on pump suction or delivery with excessive loads and torque values.
For drinking water, all materials used upstream and downstream of the pump must also be suitable for contact with drinking water for
human consumption.
If flexible hoses are used, fit a semi-rigid pipe on suction to avoid the risk of shrinkage due to negative pressure on suction.
It is recommended to fit a filter on the inlet of the suction pipeline where the pump is used for pumping water from a well or tank used
for the recovery of rain water.
DANGER
Periodically check the condition of the filter and regularly clean or replace this element.
DANGER
FP/Multi EVO must be installed as shown in Figure 6; ensure that the water column between the point of use and the
electronic device is less than 15m
