Identification of the codified instructions in this manual
WARNING: General danger; failure to observe these safety instructions may
cause personal injury.
WARNING: Electrical hazard; failure to observe these instructions may cause
an electric shock with consequent risk of serious injury or death.
WARNING: Hot surface; failure to observe these safety instructions may cause
personal injury.
Risks deriving from failure to comply with safety regulations
Failure to comply with safety regulations may cause physical injury or material damage,
as well as possible environmental contamination. Inobservance of safety regulations
may lead to the complete loss of warranty rights.
For example, non-compliance with the said regulations may cause:
• breakdown of the main functions of the machine or of the installation,
• compromised maintenance operations,
• electrical, mechanical physical damage.
1.1 General Information
This pump has been made according to the most recent, advanced techniques, in full
compliance with current standards and has been subject to strict quality control.
This manual will help you understand its function and learn its possible applications.
The user manual contains important recommendations necessary for correct and
efficient operation.
These recommendations must be observed in order to guarantee reliability and lifespan
and to prevent accidents arising from improper use.
The pump should not be used outside the limits described in the technical
specifications. It is necessary to observe the instructions regarding the nature, density,
temperature and volume of the pumped liquid, rotation speed and direction, pressure
and motor power, as well as all the other instructions contained in this manual or the
documentation attached to the contract. The data plate indicates the model, the main
service specifications and the serial number. It is important to provide these indications
when requesting repairs or support and when ordering spare parts.
The manufacturer declines all liability for any damage caused, directly or indirectly,
by persons or objects, as a consequence of failure to comply with all instructions
given in this instruction manual and regarding, in particular, warnings concerning
installation, use and maintenance of the electric pump or in conditions other than
those specified on the data plate. The warranty will be permanently withdrawn in
the case of wrong or improper use of the product, or negligence.
WARNING: This equipment must not be used by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in experience and
expertise, unless supervised or trained.
WARNING: Children may not use the equipment and must not play with the
pump or in the near vicinity.
WARNING: For all normal operations of installation/commissioning and
functioning of the machine it is not necessary to remove the protective devices
(motor fan cover).

2 PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

2.1 Delivery and packing
The pumps are supplied in their original packing, in which they should remain until
the time of installation. Check externally that the packing is free from damage. If the
product appears to be damaged, inform the reseller immediately. The pump should not
be exposed to unnecessary shocks and impacts.
2.2 Packaging contents

VERTICAL CLOSE- COUPLE MULTISTAGE PUMPS
The packing contains the operating and installation manual and the electric pump.

3 STORAGE AND HANDLING

3.1 Storage:
Storage temperature: from -5°C to +40°C
The pump and the motor must be kept in a dry, sheltered place, away from heat
sources, dirt and vibrations. If the pump has not been packed, it should be kept in
storage vertically, to prevent any misalignment.
3.2 Handling:
WARNING: Please observe the current accident prevention standards. Risk of
crushing. The pump may be heavy. Use suitable lifting methods and always
wear personal protection equipment.
Before handling the product, check its weight to identify suitable lifting equipment.
The weight is indicated on the pump data plate.
For handling the pump use the belts wound around the pump head (see fig. 1).
WARNING: There is a risk that the pump may overturn during handling; make
sure that the pump remains in a stable position during handling.
Take the pump out of its packing and check that it is in good condition.
Check also that the plate data correspond to those required. In the event of any
anomaly, contact the supplier immediately, reporting the nature of the defects.

4 GENERAL DATA

4.1 General description
This product is a non self-priming vertical multi-stage pump combined with an electric
motors. The pump is suitable for pumping hot or cold water.
The metal materials in contact with the liquid in the standard versions are:
• Cast iron and stainless steel AISI304
Pump identification code
EM 5 / 05 D G 011 T 5 E0
Permitted Use
The pump is suitable for:
• Civil and industrial water distribution systems,
• Irrigation,
• Water treatment,
• Washing systems,
• HVAC (heating and cooling)
Forbidden use
The pump is not suitable for:
• Pumping liquids not compatible with construction materials.
• Pumping dangerous liquids (e.g. toxic, explosive, infl ammable or corrosive liquids),
• Pumping liquids for human consumption other than water (for example wine or milk),
• Pumping liquids containing abrasive, solid or fi brous substances,
• Working outside of the rated capacity range specifi ed on the data plate.
Examples of improper installation:
• Environments with explosive or corrosive atmospheres,
• Outdoor installations without protection from the weather (e.g., sun, rain, high or
freezing temperatures).
WARNING: Do not use this pump for inflammable or explosive liquids. Misuse
may create hazardous conditions and cause personal injuries and material
damage. Misuse of the product renders the warranty void.
Special use
Contact the sales and service office:
• If the pump is used to pump liquids with viscosity or density greater than water (a
motor with proportionately higher power should be used),
• If the water to be pumped has been chemically treated (softened, chlorinated,
demineralised etc.),
• In any other situation other than those listed for permitted use.
4.2 Technical data
4.2.1 Liquid temperature
Pumped liquids must remain within certain temperature limits:
• with EPDM seals (standard versions): from -15°C to +110°C,
• with VITON/FKM seals (special versions): from -10°C to +110°C.
If the pump is intended for uses provided for by CEI EN 60335-2-41 the upper
temperature limit, for any combination of materials, is +90°C.
4.2.2 Ambient temperature and altitude
In the case of ambient temperatures higher than +40°C, or the installation of the pump
at an altitude higher than 1,000 metres, the motor must not work at full capacity to avoid
the risk of overheating. Excessive ambient temperatures and low air density reduce the
motor's ability to cool down. In these cases, it may be necessary to use a motor with a
higher rated power. Below is a non-binding chart of motor capacity percentage based
