OPERATING & MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

0800

Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Water Pump, which is a general purpose

pump, suitable for a variety of applications involving the transfer of clean, cold
water ONLY.

The CEB101 differs from the TAM 100 model in that it has a brass body designed for
longer life, and an increased resistance to corrosion.

To help ensure long, trouble free performance and the protection afforded by
the warranty, please follow carefully all the instructions and recommendations
given in this booklet.

GUARANTEE

This CLARKE product is guaranteed against faulty manufacture for a period of 12
months from the date of purchase. Please keep your receipt as proof of purchase.
This guarantee is invalid if the product is found to have been abused or tampered
with in any way, or not used for the purpose for which it was intended.

Faulty goods should be returned to their place of purchase. No product can be
returned to us without prior permission. This guarantee does not effect your
statutory rights.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Ensure the pump is installed in a horizontal position with the outlet facing
vertically upwards, and that it is firmly anchored via its fixing screws.

2. Ensure there is an adequate air flow around the pump. DO NOT mount it in an
enclosed atmosphere.

3. Ensure all water pipes - supply or discharge, are adequately supported where
necessary, so as not to put a strain on the pump connections.

4. DO NOT allow the pump to run dry, as this will cause serious damage to the
pump seals.

5. Ensure the inlet to the pump is completely unrestricted.

6. Ensure the pump is protected from the elements, neither the motor nor the
electrical terminal box is intended to be waterproof.

7. Ensure that all pipes are protected against damage where necessary, and
that they are suitably lagged to avoid the possibility of freezing during cold
weather.

1. With the pump, all pipes/hoses and the foot valve in position, unscrew the

priming plug (small hexagon nut on top of pump body, adjacent to the pump
outlet) and fill to capacity with clean water. Replace the priming plug.

NOTE: As the filler hole is quite small, it is recommended that you fill the inlet pipe with water
before it is connected to the pump, and top up through the filler plug once the pipe is
connected.

2. Adjust any device which may be fitted to the outlet side of the pump, so as to

ensure as great a flow as possible.

3. Switch on the pump. Water should start to flow through the system.

Check for leaks and adjust the flow if necessary using the gate valve (or
other type of restriction) on the delivery side of the pump. Remember that
some resistance (head) is required on the outlet side of the pump to prevent
motor overload.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If the system is set up properly, there is little likelihood of problems arising, but if
water will not flow as it should then check the following points:-

1. The suction hose and connections including the filler plug need to be

completely air tight, otherwise air will be drawn in and either reduce or
completely stop the flow of water.

2. Ensure that the system has been fully primed with water up to the level of the

filler plug.

3. Check to see that no foreign matter is fouling the intake system and check

the filter is not blocked or obstructed.

4. Check that the vertical height between the level of the water intake and the

ultimate discharge point does not exceed 38 metres. If this should be the
case then the height must be reduced.

Should you still experience problems, then contact your Clarke dealer, or CLARKE
International Service Department for advice.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: THIS MACHINE MUST BE EARTHED.

Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with

I.E.E. Regulations. However, in the further interests of safety we would emphasise
the following :-

This pump should be connected to a standard domestic 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz),
electrical supply and we strongly recommend that the connection be made via
a Residual Current Device (RCD).

IMPORTANT: Should the supply be taken from a normal 13 amp socket, then the
plug used must be to BS 1363 standard, and the wires should be wired up in
accordance with the following colour code:

Green & Yellow .......... Earth or marked with a letter “E” or Earth symbol “ ”.

Blue ............................. Neutral or terminal marked with a letter “N”

Brown .......................... Live or terminal marked with a letter “L”

FUSE RATING

The fuse in the plug must be rated at 5 amps

WIRING CONNECTIONS FOR TAM100

Make electrical connections inside the terminal cover in accordance with the
instructions below:

From mains supply, connect:-

1. BROWN (Live) to terminal 1.

intake can be by means of either:­Water being taken in by the pump should, whenever possible, be fed by means

of gravity (Method A). However, if this is not possible then water may be drawn
from a lower level by means of suction (Method B).

or

B. Suction Lift.

WARNING

Do not attempt electrical installation work if you are in any doubt as to

how it should be done properly. Consult a qualified electrician.

WATER CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT: The pump must not be connected to the power supply until the

hose/pipe installation is completed.
If any part of the system is to be connected to the mains water supply, do ensure

that you comply with your local water authority regulations.
Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are supplied

as standard with your pump. However, accessories designed specifically for this
range of pumps are available from your CLARKE dealer and are listed on page 7.

The pump must always be installed and operated in a horizontal position i.e. with
the outlet port facing vertically upwards. The fixing holes in the base should be
used as necessary to secure the pump firmly in its operating position. Also, ensure
that there is adequate air circulation around the motor.

Avoid situations where there is the risk of
water coming into contact with the outside
of the pump. Neither the motor or the
terminal box are intended to be
waterproof.

These notes are for guidance on how to
achieve a proper working system.

The schematic diagrams illustrate possible
methods of pipework installation. Water

A - Gravity Feed

To Pump

Isolating Valve

The suction lift i.e. the vertical
distance between the water level
and the pump should not exceed
distance specified for your pump
(see Specifications on page 7).

When using this method, a foot
valve, must be fitted to the lower
end of the suction hose, (as
illustrated below), so as to help
retain water in the suction system.

The delivery head i.e. the vertical
distance between the pump and
the point of discharge should be
at least 5 feet. If this cannot be
achieved naturally, then it can be
simulated by restricting the outlet

flow from the pump.
The illustration shows a gate valve (V) installed in-

line on the delivery side of the pump which can
be set as required to regulate the flow of water.

Do not place any such restriction on the suction
side of the pump unless it serves only to isolate a
gravity fed water supply.

To prevent unnecessary strain or possible distortion
to the pump, ensure that adequate support is
provided to the hoses and/or pipes. Remember
they will be considerably heavier when filled with
water.

Should sand, chemical or other contaminant come into contact with the pump,
flush through with cold clean water as soon as possible.

Protect the pump and pipework from freezing. The formation of ice may cause
serious damage.

PRIMING

When suction lift is used to draw water into the pump it is essential that all
connections and hoses are completely air tight, otherwise the system will not
work.

Before pumping will start it is necessary to completely fill the suction side with
water. This is known as priming the pump and is carried out as follows :-
