3.3 Mechanical installation
The pump range includes both flanged and threaded versions.
These installation and operating instructions apply to both
versions, but give a general description of flanged versions. If the
versions differ, the threaded version will be described separately.
Install the pump so that it is not stressed by the pipes. For
maximum permissible forces and moments from pipe connections
acting on the pump flanges or threaded connections, see page
26.
You can suspend the pump directly in the pipes, provided that the
pipes support the pump.
Twin-head pumps are prepared for installation on a mounting
bracket or base plate. Pump housing with M12 thread.
To ensure adequate cooling of motor and electronics, observe the
following requirements:
• Position the pump in such a way that sufficient cooling is
ensured.
• The ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C.
3.3.1 Pump positions
Always install the pump with horizontal motor shaft.
• Pump installed correctly in a vertical pipe. See fig. 8, pos. A.
• Pump installed correctly in a horizontal pipe.
See fig. 8, pos. B.
• Do not install the pump with vertical motor shaft.
See fig. 8, pos. C and D.
