4.2 ATTENTION. The user, upon receipt of the equipment, will
immediately check the following points:
Condition of the outside packaging, if this shows
-
signs of serious deterioration, he shall formally advise
the person delivering the equipment.
-
He shall also check the condition of the contents:
should this show defects which would presumably
prevent correct functioning, he shall also formally
notify the supplier within a period not exceeding 8
days from the date of delivery.
4.3 ATTENTION. Storage conditions must ensure the optimum
preservation of the equipment. Due to its particular relevance,
we must stress that very damp atmosphere or others where
brusque changes in temperatures (which cause condensation)
must be avoided.
5. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
5.1 Location. ATTENTION. The place where the electropump
is to be located must be dry. In all events, there must be a
drain in the floor as prevention against flooding. If the pump is
to be located in a damp place, a ventilation system must be
provided in order to prevent the formation of condensation. In
the case of very confined areas, cold air can reach a low
temperature which requires a ventilation system where by the
atmospheric temperature does not exceed 40ºC. (BC) –
50ºC.(BCP). It's important for there to be sufficient space to
permit the motor block to be dismounted horizontally and the
hair filter vertically (see minimum space diagram in fig. 1, page
11.
5.2 Positioning /installation
ATTENTION. The equipment or set of motor pump, filter and
selection valve, will be installed near the swimming pool at a
distance of no more than 3 m, from the surface skimmers and
preferably at the level of 0.5m (never more that 3m) below the
level of the water in order to achieve its "under load"
functioning. The selection valve junction, and its connection to
the nozzle and other accessories incorporated in the swimming
pool will preferably be made in PVC casing. Pipe diameters will
depend on flows. The maximum water speed advisable in the
pipes will be 1.2 m/s in aspiration and 2 m/s on return. In any
event, the diameter of the aspiration of the aspiration pipe
must not be less than diameter of the pump nozzle. The
aspiration pipe must be perfectly watertight and must be
installed with a downward inclination, thus avoiding the
formation of air pockets. In permanent installations, with the
pump positioned at a higher level than that of the water, it is
advisable for the longest stretch of the aspiration pipe to be
below the plans mentioned until it reaches the vertical pipe
which coincides with the pump aspiration shaft. The aspiration
pipe can be either rigid or flexible with a reinforced coil to avoid
contraction.
In fixed installations, with the pump below the water level, a
shut-off valve will be placed on the aspiration pipe and another
on the header pipe.
ATTENTION. When using as a portable pump,
suitable electrical protection must be provide and the pump
must be assembled on an insulated base.
5.3 Connections to the mains.
ATTENTION. In general terms, the electrical installation will
fully comply with the Regulations and Complementary
Technical provisions applicable and will be performed by an
FIBERPOOL INTERNACIONAL
authorised Installer. The supply will have neutral and earth
wires. The mains voltage must correspond to that shown on
the nameplate rating for the equipment. the earth wire to be
used must be sufficient to take, without deterioration, the
current absorbed by the equipment (see nameplate). The
mains earth wire will be connected electrically to all metal parts
of the equipment which should not be under current, but which
could accidentally be affected by the same and which are
accessible to persons (see figs. 2,3,4 pag. 11-12).
It is obligatory to install a protection and operation switchboard,
which will contain all necessary and recommended elements.
In general terms, it will contain:
The electrical characteristics of the protection devices and their
regulation will comply with those for these, and the instructions
given by the manufactured must be (see nameplate).
6. STARTING
following operations will be carried out:
6.1 Pump priming for BC models: With the pump placed
under the water level, fill the pump opening slowly the
aspiration valve, maintaining open the valve at the impelling
side.
With the pump above the water level, fill the pump by the
upper part, opening the aspiration valve, until the aspiration
pipe and body pump will be completely full.
6.1. Pump priming for BCP models: Avoid blind functioning
of the electropump. With the pump in the aspiration position
(placed above the water level) before starting, remove the
prefilter cover (pag17 nº16) and slowly fill it with clean water up
to the level of the aspiration valve. Close the cover again and
take are that it is hermetically closed.
With the pump below the water level and always with the lid
(16) hermetically closed, fill the pump by slowly opening the
aspiration cut-off valve, with the header valve in the open
position.
6.2 ATTENTION
Avoid blind functioning of the electro-pump.
For BCP model, the pump must not be started without the
basket hair filter inside (18) otherwise it could cause
obstruction and block the system.
a.
General cut-off or unipolar switch.
b.
Short-circuit and overload protection devices for
motors.
c.
30mA differential high sensitivity switch.
d.
Others for monitoring and control.
In the case of equipment with triphase motors, the
-
motor winding interconnection bridges must be
suitably positioned (see figs 3-4, page 12).
-
Conductor inlets and outlets at the bushing box will
have stuffing to ensure the absence of damp and dirt,
and will therefore have a sealed casing.
Conductors will have suitable terminals for connection
-
to the bushings.
Before connecting the equipment to the Mains, the
-
Check that the electrical conditions are correct.
-
Manually check that the motor pumps not jammed.
