- The product must not be supplied with
pump voltage that exceeds the rating on

12.1 Industrial pumps
Industrial pumps may incorporate a PTC/thermal
switch to be connected direct to MP 204.
Industrial pumps mainly apply IEC trip classes 20 to
30, depending on the liquid viscosity.

12.3 Wastewater pumps
Wastewater pumps may incorporate a PTC/thermal
switch to be connected direct to MP 204.
Wastewater pumps may also be connected to a
Pt100/Pt1000 sensor. The sensor can also be
connected direct to MP 204.
12.2 Submersible pumps
Submersible pumps normally have a short startup
time. Trip class "P" can therefore be applied with
advantage for these pumps. It is possible to set very
short times down to for example 900 ms, used for
certain specific applications.
To prevent the Tempcon signal from one submersible
pump from interfering with the signal from another,
cabling must be carefully made to allow
measurements to be made of both pumps at the
same time. The motor cables must be kept apart and
not installed in the same cable tray. To avoid
interference, it may be necessary to fit a filter on the
power cables. See fig. 19.

The Pt100/Pt1000 can be activated with Grundfos
GO Remote. See PC Tool Water Utility.
A high IEC trip class is to be applied for wastewater
pumps, especially grinder-type pumps. Classes 25 to
35 are the optimum choice. Apply IEC trip class 45
for pumping liquids of extremely high viscosity or
liquids containing many solid particles.
