2. Safety

Pump installation in wells must be carried
out by specially trained persons.

3. Electrical connection

Note: Depending on local regulations, a pump with
10 metres of mains cable must be used if the pump
is used as a portable pump for different applications.
The electrical connection should be carried out in
accordance with local regulations.
The pump must be connected to an external mains
switch. If the pump is not installed close to the
switch, this must be of a lockable type.
The operating voltage and frequency are marked on
the pump nameplate. Please make sure that the
motor is suitable for the electricity supply on which it
will be used.
As a precaution, the pump must be con-
nected to a socket with earth connection.
The permanent installation must be fitted
with an earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB) with a tripping current < 30 mA.
Three-phase pumps must be connected to an exter-
nal motor starter with differential release and with a
minimum contact gap of 3 mm. The set nominal cur-
rent of the motor starter must correspond to the elec-
trical data marked on the pump nameplate.
If a level switch is connected to a three-phase pump,
the motor starter must be magnetically operated.
Single-phase pumps incorporate thermal overload
protection and require no additional motor protec-
tion.
If the motor is overloaded, it will stop auto-
matically. When it has cooled to normal
temperature, it will restart automatically.

3.1 Checking of direction of rotation

(Three-phase pumps only)
The direction of rotation should be checked every
time the pump is connected to a new installation.
Check the direction of rotation as follows:
1. Position the pump so that the impeller can be
observed.
2. Start the pump for a short period.
3. Observe the rotation of the impeller. The correct
direction of rotation is indicated by an arrow on
the suction strainer (clockwise when seen from
the bottom). If the impeller rotates in the wrong
direction, reverse the direction of rotation by
interchanging two of the phases to the motor.
If the pump is connected to a piping system, the
direction of rotation can be checked as follows:
1. Start the pump and check the quantity of water or
the discharge pressure.
2. Stop the pump and interchange two of the
phases to the motor.
3. Start the pump and check the quantity of water or
the discharge pressure.
4. Stop the pump.
Compare the results taken under points 1 and 3. The
connection which gives the larger quantity of water
or the higher pressure is the correct direction of rota-
tion.

4. Installation

The installation of the pump must be car-
ried out by specially trained persons.
Unilift AP35 and AP50: Care must be
taken to ensure that persons cannot come
into contact with the pump impeller.

4.1 Connection

For permanent installation, it is recommended to fit a
union, a non-return valve and an isolating valve in
the discharge pipe.
If the pump is installed in a pit with a minimum free
cable length of 100 mm, see fig. 6, the minimum pit
dimensions must be as shown in fig. 2.
Furthermore, the pit should be dimensioned accord-
ing to the relation between the water flow to the pit
and the pump capacity.

4.2 Pump location

The pump can be used in vertical or horizontal posi-
tion with the discharge port as the highest point of
the pump, see fig. 3.
During operation, the suction strainer must always
be completely covered by the pumped liquid.

When the pipe/hose has been connected, place the
pump in its operating position.
