2. Introduction
2.1 Safety warning
2.1.1 Read this booklet
This booklet is designed to help a certified
installer install, begin operation of and
troubleshoot the Grundfos UP Series 200
pumps. The booklet should be left with the
owner of the pump for future reference and
information regarding its operation. Should the
owner experience any problems with the pump,
a certified professional should be contacted.
2.2 Electrical work
All electrical work should be performed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code, local
codes and regulations.
3. Pre-installation checklist
3.1 Confirm you have the correct pump
• Read the pump nameplate to make sure it is
the one you ordered.
• Compare the pump's nameplate data and its
performance curve (for head, GPM, etc.)
with the application in which you plan to
install it.
• Will the pump do what you expect it to do?
3.2 Check the condition of the pump
The shipping carton your pump came in is
specially designed around your pump during
production to prevent damage.
As a precaution, it should remain in the carton
until you are ready to install it. At that point, look
at the pump and examine it for any damage that
may have occurred during shipping.
Examine any other parts of the shipment as well
for any visible damage.
3.3 Verify electrical requirements
Verification of the power supply should be made
to be certain the voltage, phase and frequency
match that of the pump motor. The proper
operating voltage and other electrical
information can be found on the pump
nameplate.
These motors are designed to run on ± 10 % of
the rated voltage.
Wiring diagrams can be found inside the
terminal box cover and later in these installation
and operating instructions. If voltage variations
are larger than ± 10 %, do not operate the pump.
Warning
A faulty motor or wiring can cause
electric shock that could be fatal,
whether touched directly or
conducted through standing water.
For this reason, proper grounding
of the pump to the power supply's
grounding terminal is required for
safe installation and operation.
In all installations, the above-
ground metal plumbing should be
connected to the power supply
ground as described in
Article 250-80 of the National
Electrical Code.
