Fitting Of Submersible Drop Cable And Motor Cable; Maximum Installation Pressure; Lowering The Pump; Frequency Of Starts And Stops - Grundfos MS Montage- Und Betriebsanleitung

7.1 Fitting of submersible drop cable and
motor cable
Before fitting the motor cable to the motor, make
sure that the cable socket is clean and dry.
To ease fitting of the cable, lubricate the rubber parts
of the cable plug with non-conducting silicone paste.
Tighten the screws holding the cable to the torques
stated:
MS 402: 2.0 Nm
MS 4000: 3.0 Nm
MS 6000: 4.5 Nm
MMS6: 20 Nm
MMS 8000: 18 Nm
MMS 10000: 18 Nm
MMS 12000: 15 Nm.
Connect the motor cable to the drop cable by use of
original Grundfos cable termination kits, such as
shrink tube type KM or cable termination kit type M0
to M4.
If necessary, shorten the motor cable to ensure that
it is always covered with pump medium prior to
making the cable jointing as described above.

7.3 Lowering the pump

Grundfos recommends checking the borehole by
means of an inside calliper before lowering the pump
to ensure unobstructed passage.
Lower the pump assembly carefully into the
borehole, taking care not to damage the motor cable
