Pentair Sta-Rite VERSAILLES 160/8 Instructions De Service page 9

• Install the pump as directed and very
carefully; have it installed by skilled
personnel if possible, and keep
children out of reach.
• Do not connect the plug if the power
supply cable or the pump are damaged
SINGLE-PHASE MODEL
230 V, 50 Hz single-phase models are equipped with a double-earthing plug at the end of the power supply cable; in this case, the pump
is earthed when the plug is fitted into the socket. 24 or 42 V, 50 Hz models do not have either condenser or plug; in this case, it will be
the installer's responsibility to prepare the power board and complete it with a condenser.
THREE-PHASE MODEL
In three-phase models, the earthing wire (yellow green) of the power supply cable must be connected to the earthing system of the
power supply.
To connect the pump to the power supply, use a magnetothermal omnipolar disconnecting switch, which disconnects efficiently from
the power system.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The VERSAILLES single-phase pumps features a thermal motor-protector with an automatic resetting function, so they do not need
any external protection. For protecting VERSAILLES three-phase pumps, use a magnetothermal motor protector or a contactor with a
thermal relay, both suitably gauged to the rated power.
CHECK OF DIRECTION OF ROTATION IN THREE-PHASE PUMPS
If the pump rotates in reverse, both its flow rate and head remarkably decrease. The correct direction of rotation is clockwise, looking
at the pump from above. When pressing the Start switch, the pump will recoil in the opposite direction to its rotation; the pump will be
rotating in the correct direction, therefore, if it recoils anticlockwise.
Otherwise, disconnect the pump from the power supply, and invert two of its three phases.
CHAPTER 5
START-UP
WARNING
Use the electropump within its rated performance range.
WARNING
Do not operate the pump without fluids, since this could damage its hydraulic components and seals.
Before starting a VERSAILLES electropump, install the accessories; plunge it in water, leaving the sprayer above water level.
• Warning: never put your hands in
or get into the water without first
disconnecting the pump and all the
other powered accessories from the
power supply, before doing anything
• The pump can be operated on in tanks,
ponds or other, indoors or outdoors,
provided no one is in contact with
water
