7 Servicing/Maintenance
NOTE
If the insulation resistance of the power cable is lower than 1 MΩ, the power cable
is defective and must be replaced.
NOTE
If the insulation resistances measured on the motor are too low, the winding
insulation is defective. The pump set must not be returned to service in this case.
7.2.1.4 Checking the sensors
CAUTION
Excessive test voltage
Damage to the sensors!
▷ Use a commercially available ohmmeter to measure the resistance.
The tests described below measure the resistance at the core ends of the control
cable. The actual sensor function is not tested.

20 and 21
If the specified tolerances are exceeded, disconnect the power cable at the pump set
and repeat the check inside the motor.
If the tolerances are exceeded here, too, the motor section has to be opened and
overhauled. The temperature sensors are fitted in the stator winding and cannot be
replaced.

Lower resistance values suggest water ingress into the motor. In this case the motor
section must be opened and serviced.
7.2.2 Lubrication and lubricant change
7.2.2.1 Lubricating the mechanical seal
The mechanical seal is supplied with lubricating liquid from the lubricant reservoir.
7.2.2.1.1 Intervals
Change the lubricant every 4000 operating hours but at least once a year.
7.2.2.1.2 Lubricant quality
The lubricant reservoir is filled at the factory with environmentally friendly, non-toxic
lubricant of medicinal quality (unless otherwise specified by the customer).
The following lubricants can be used to lubricate the mechanical seals:
Sanipump VX 65/80-EN
