FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 To confirm the Approvals applying and if the product is CE marked, check the serial number plate markings and the Certification. (See section 9, Certification.) 1 INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY 1.1 General 1.3 Disclaimer These instructions must always be kept close to the product's operating location or directly with the product. Flowserve products are designed, developed and manufactured with state-of-the-art technologies in modern facilities.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 1.6 Safety 1.6.3 Safety action 1.6.1 Summary of safety markings These User Instructions contain specific safety markings where non-observance of an instruction would cause hazards. The specific safety markings are: This is a summary of conditions and actions to prevent injury to personnel and damage to the environment and to equipment. For products used in potentially explosive atmospheres section 1.6.4 also applies.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by appropriate sitting of the pump, limiting personnel access and by operator training. If the liquid is flammable and/or explosive, strict safety procedures must be applied. Gland packing must not be used when pumping hazardous liquids. PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL PIPE LOAD Do not use pump as a support for piping.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 1.6.4.2 Marking An example of ATEX equipment marking is shown below. The actual classification of the pump will be engraved on the nameplate.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 It is recommended that a maintenance plan and schedule is adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance.) 1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking. To avoid the potential hazard from random induced current generating a spark the ground contact on the baseplate must be used. Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub nonmetallic surfaces with a dry cloth, ensure cloth is damp.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 The values are based on the noisiest ungeared electric motors which are likely to be encountered. They are L pA sound pressure levels at 1m (3.3ft) from the directly driven pump, for "free field over a reflecting plane". For estimating LwA sound power level (re 1 pW) add 14 dB(A) to the sound pressure value. 1.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 In areas where the staff has to intervene, remember that when the level of the sound pressure is: Below 70 dBA :It is not necessary to take special precautions. Above 70 dBA :People working continuously in the machine room must be supplied with protective devices against noise. Below 85 dBA :No particular measures need to be taken for casual visitors staying in the room during a limited period.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 All motors (for masses see the motor description plate) must be handled with a winch. For masses above 25 kg (55 lb), manual handling is forbidden. 2.3 Lifting 2.4 Storage Store the pump in a clean, dry location away from vibration. Leave piping connection covers in place to keep dirt and other foreign material out of pump casing. Turn pump at intervals to prevent brinelling of the bearings and the seal faces, if fitted, from sticking.

FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 4 INSTALLATION Equipment operated in hazardous locations must comply with the relevant explosion protection regulations. See section 1.6.4, Products used in potentially explosive atmospheres. All equipment must be grounded. NF E 27 811 4.1 Location The pump should be located to allow room for access, ventilation, maintenance and inspection with ample headroom for lifting and should be as close as practicable to the supply of liquid to be pumped.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 4.3 Grouting 4.4.1 Thermal expansion 4.3.1 Base plate grouting a) Prepare the site for grouting. Before grouting clean the foundation surface thoroughly and provide external barriers as shown: The pump and motor will normally have to be aligned at ambient temperature and should be corrected to allow for thermal expansion at operating temperature.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 Complete unit mounted on common base plate: The machines are first aligned accurately in our workshops. Usually, any misalignment observed onsite is due to a wrong adjustment under the base plate (disturbed during transport or because of forces exerted by the pipework). It is only necessary to rectify the adjustment under base plate. If it proves to be insufficient, modify the motor and the pipeworks adjustment.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 4.5.2 Suction piping 4.5.2.1 Design of a flooded suction line The suction line must be as short and direct as possible, never mount an elbow directly on the inlet flange of the pump. c) If a foot valve is necessary, do not oversize it because it would generate pulsations (valve beating). Do not tighten flanges before the final check (see § 4.5.4). Valve 4.5.3 Discharge piping Non-return valve Continous flow valve 4.5.3.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by using motor overload trips or a power monitor and make routine vibration monitoring. It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility when wiring up and installing equipment on site.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 c) When the pump is totally free of air bubbles, replace the plugs. 5.3 Priming and auxiliary supplies Where there is any risk of the pump being run against a closed valve generating high liquid and casing external surface temperatures it is recommended that users fit an external surface temperature protection device.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 a) Start motor and check outlet pressure. b) If pressure is satisfactory, slowly OPEN outlet valve. c) Do not run the pump with the outlet valve closed for a period longer than 30 seconds. d) If NO pressure, or LOW pressure, STOP the pump. Refer to faultfinding chart for fault diagnosis. The pump should run smoothly and without vibration. The pump must never run at a capacity of less than 10 % of that at the best efficiency.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 It is strictly forbidden to open switch cupboards, switch boxes, or all other live electric equipment. If it is necessary to open them in order to take readings, to carry out tests or adjustments for example, only a skilled technician may do them with adapted tools. Make sure that physical protections against electrical risks are used. Vibration Velocity - unfiltered Horizontal Configuration mm/s (in./s) r.m.s. Normal N 5.6 (0.22) Alarm N x 1.25 7.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 Shutdown: Close the outlet valve and stop the motor. Eventually close the inlet valve. For prolonged shutdowns and especially when ambient temperatures are likely to drop below freezing point, the pump and any cooling and flushing arrangements must be drained or otherwise protected. 5.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06 It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work is carried out by authorized and qualified personnel who have adequately familiarized themselves with the subject matter by studying this manual in detail (see also section 1.6.2). Any work on the machine must be performed when it is at a standstill. It is imperative that the procedure for shutting down the machine is followed, as described in section 5.6.
