6. Installation

6.1 Location

Observe the following to ensure adequate cooling of motor and
electronics:
• Position the Hydro Multi-E in such a way that adequate cooling
is ensured.
• Keep motor cooling fins and fan blades clean.
The Hydro Multi-E is not suitable for outdoor installation.
The booster system must have a 1-metre clearance in front and
on the two sides.

6.2 Mechanical installation

Arrows on the pump base show the direction of flow of water
through the pump.
The pipes connected to the booster system must be of adequate
size. Fit expansion joints in the suction and discharge pipes to
avoid resonance. See fig. 4.
Connect the pipes to the manifolds of the booster system.
The manifold comes with a screw cap fitted to one end. If this end
is to be used, remove the screw cap, apply sealing compound to
the other end of the manifold, and fit the screw. Fit a blanking
flange with gasket on flanged manifolds.
Tighten up the booster system prior to start-up.
If booster systems are installed in blocks of flats or the first
consumer on the line is close to the booster system, we
recommend to fit pipe hangers on the suction and discharge
pipes to prevent vibration being transmitted through the pipework.
See fig. 4.
Position the booster system on a plane and solid surface, for
example a concrete floor or foundation. If the booster system is
not fitted with vibration dampers, it must be bolted to the floor or
foundation.
Fasten the pipes to parts of the building to ensure that they
cannot move or be twisted.
