For submergible motor pumps not equipped with cooling jackets the level of the liquid must never be allowed to fall
below the cover of the motor pump's motor.
- Protection category IP 68
- Field of application (GRS - GRI - GRE): motor pumping of sewage or liquids containing shreddable fibres.
- Field of application (APS - APE): motor pumping of water slightly silted or containing small foreign bodies.
- Service factor: S1 for fully submerged motor pumps
Explosion proof versions , characterised by the letters -EX are TYPE APPROVED explosion proof to EExd II T4
(EN50014-EN 50018) standard for operation in wells and tanks where EXPLOSIVE GASES are present. WARNING:
any maintenance that modifies the components of the motor pump can result in a serious RISK of EXPLOSION.
These motor pumps MUST be used ONLY in environments to which the above explosion proof protection category
relates.
Make sure that the motor pump is not operated outside its characteristic curve.
These motor pumps are not suitable for manipulating liquids for nutritional use.
These motor pumps may not be used in tanks or other locations in which the machine may come into contact with
parts of the body.

3.2 NOISE LEVEL

Submergible motor pumps present acoustic pressure levels of less than 70 dB(A) when immersed and in any case
less than 80 dB if installed dry.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1 SHIPPING

Before installation read and apply the safety procedures in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3 carefully.
Mass according to table 2
For motor pumps weighing 30 kg or less moving and lifting may be performed manually using the handle
fitted on the upper part of the motor pump. For motor pumps weighing more than 30 kg moving and lifting
must be done using a suitable mechanical device according to the weight of the motor pump.
NEVER use the power cable or the float cable to lift and move the unit. Use the appropriate handle or lifting hook.
Make a visual inspection of the packing and its contents to ensure that no damage has occurred. If there is any sign
of significant damage, contact Zenit without delay.
Check that the specifications indicated on the data plate are as required.
Before making any power connections or installing the motor pump, turn the shaft with the box wrench to ensure that
it rotates freely.

4.2 PLACEMENT

Before installation read and apply the safety procedures in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3 carefully.
The operations of installing motor pumps and making connections to the electrical power supply must be carried out
by a skilled technician.
Always check that the motor pump is not connected to the electricity supply before performing any
operations on it.
Before placing the motor pump, for three-phase motors check the sens of rotation following the instructions in
paragraph 4.3
Motor pumps can be free-standing or fixed. If free-standing, the motor pump outlet must be connected by an elbow
and union to a flexible hose the diameter of which must not be smaller than the motor pump outlet. Preferably, the
hose should be of the type with a spiral reinforcement in order to ensure a smooth flow of the liquid around bends or
changes in direction. If fixed, the motor pump should be connected to a metal pipe, incorporating a check valve with
free return flow and a gate shutoff valve. In this instance the stability of the motor pump is assured by the rigid pipe.

4.2.1 INSTALLATION WITH COUPLING PEDESTAL

This type of installation is envisaged for all types of submersible motor pumps with a horizontal inlet.
Motor pumps with automatic coupling pedestal are the most suitable for fixed installations as they allow easy
maintenance and cleaning without draining the liquid collection tank or undoing any bolts.
For motor pumps where this option is provided (contact Zenit for information), proceed as follows:
- secure the pedestal and bend to the bottom of the tank with bolts and expanding plugs.
- install the delivery pipeline with the check valve and gate valve;
- screw/slot two guide tubes into the pedestal, securing them at the top with the spacer bracket (supplied by the
manufacturer) which serves to ensure their correct parallel alignment.
The motor pump can now be lowered into place using a galvanised chain or rope attached to the eyebolt on the top
of the motor, using the tubes as a guide, and coupled faultlessly with the pedestal.
Fig. 1 illustrates the method of installation with coupling pedestal.
