DON'T STOP OR
START
10.9 WATER FALL ON
a) Float switch for filling defective:
TOP OF TANK
11. SPARE PARTS
All spare parts must be ordered through SALMSON Customer
Services.
In order to avoid returns and incorrect orders, please specify the
name plate data for all orders.
Subject to technical alterations!
CAUSES
a) Check tightness of tall suction pipe connections.
Check that the level of suction in tank is cover.
b) Calculate the losses of head and make sure they are compatible with
the pump NSPH.
c) Check valve opening and clean the piping if necessary.
a) The pump "fault" indicator on the control box must be lit.
Check the setting of the thermal relay and reset it.
Check the direction of rotation, the coupling or the current requirement
of the motor concerned.
b) Check that the motor phases are not in short-circuit between them.
Replace the motor if necessary.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuses (check their ratings).
c) Switch off the electric supply of the control box and then check the shaft
turns freely, if it is blocked, dismantle the pump.
d) Disconnect the terminal board of the terminal block and check the sta-
tor insulation to earth. Replace the motor if necessary.
a) Plan to replace the booster by a more adequate one (do not forget to
contact us in any case).
b) Check that the suction strainer does not let air in or the tank filling point is
too close from the strainer.
c) Have the pump dismantled and cleaned.
d) Check the voltage on motor terminals.
a) Check the setting: transmitter not stable, replace it if necessary.
b) Check adjustment of discharger, check the state of device, change
pieces if necessary.
a) Check the position of float switch, change them if necessay.
b) It could be necessary to replace the system (Consult us for this).
a) See starting instruction of the control box or cabinet.
b) Check all connections to the terminal block of the control box.
c) Check the contacts, change the transmitter concerned if necessary.
a) Change the valves.
a) Open the shut off valve pos.16.
a) Check the float switch, change them if necessary.
This float switch give information for the electrovalve of tank filling
