United Kingdom
Under certain operational conditions the surface
of the pump can be above 60°C / 140°F.
Under these conditions the pump must be
labelled with a “Danger Hot” sign.
When using an electric motor, the motor must
always be supplied with adequate cooling
ventilation.
When using an electric motor together with a
VFD (Variable Frequency Drive), the motor must
be designed for operation with VFD. VFD
operation may increase the temperature inside
the electric motor if the motor is not designed
for VFD operation. This can damage the motor
and cause unintended breakdown.
It is recommended to install a lockable circuit
breaker to avoid inadvertent starting and/or
electrical hazard. The lockable circuit breaker
must be used during installation, operation and
maintenance.
It is recommended to place a local safety switch
nearby the pump, enabling service personnel to
cut power for the electric motor.
Protect the motor and other electrical equipment from overloads with suitable equipment.
In case the pump delivered is ATEX certied, the
additional ATEX instruction must also be read.
Protective

transportation,
handling, lifting and
storage
3.7 Filtration
(10µm absolute [β10 ≥ 5000])
Requirements are specied in appendix 1, Data
sheet and appendix 2, Instruction.
Danfoss recommends not to build a lter bypass
function or use lters with an integrated bypass.
If the above recommendation is not followed the
warranty for the pump will automatically
become void.
It should be possible to monitor the condition of
the lter via the dierential/delta pressure across
the lter.
Using insucient ltration or a lter bypass
can cause a failure or decreased service life of
the pump.
3.8 Properties of water
It is recommended NOT to use the pump for
other media than specied in the Data sheet.
4.1 Arrival inspection
The pump is packed in a cardboard or wood box
with plugs in the port connections to protect the
pump from damage during transportation.
When the shipment has arrived it is important to
check the pump for any damages. The name
plate/type designation must be in accordance
with the delivery note and your order.
3.9 Air bubbles
Large bubbles in a pressurised system can result
in damage to piping, equipment and the pump.
All air must be bleeded from both the lowpressure and high-pressure side before the
system is pressurised. Special consideration
should be given in order to minimize air bubbles
in the feed ow. Air bubbles can cause cavitation.
3.10 Chemicals
The pumps should not be exposed to any
chemicals that can result in damage to piping,
equipment and internal parts of the pump.
4.4 Transport and handling
Small pumps which have a weight below 20 kilos
(weight can be found in appendix 1, Data sheet)
can be handled by hand if they are not mounted

rotation either looking on the fan of the motor or
on the coupling through the hole in the bell
housing (not available on all bell housings). If the
motor is turning the wrong direction, switch two
phases in the connection box of the motor or
reprogram the direction in VFD.
• Check the temperature switch/controls. The
high-pressure pump must stop if temperature is above specied set point.
• Check the pressure switch/controls. The
high-pressure pump must stop if pressure is
below specied set point.
• If the system is running within the system
design limits, the system is released for
operation.
5.16.2 Closed system
• Check if the reservoir is clean.
• Check if lter element is present and
mounted correctly.
• Fill water at the reservoir using the lling
valve. Inspect immediately for leakage.
• Bleed high-pressure pump until only water
leaves the high-pressure pump. Remember
to close all bleeding and draining plugs.
• Adjust pressure relief valve to minimum
setting.
• Check rotation of the high-pressure pump
by description in 5.15.
• Start high-pressure pump for 2 minutes, to
make sure all air is out of the system.
• Check reservoir low level switch/controls.

8.4 Electrical failure
If the wiring of the electric motor is incorrect or
the ground connection is missing, it can cause
electric shock, burn damages, re or even death.
If a VFD is used and wrongly programmed, it can
damage the pump and lead to high temperatures or other dangers.
All electrical installation must be carried out by
authorized personnel in accordance with
EN60204-1 and/or local regulations.
8.5 Responsibility
Danfoss takes no responsibility for any abnormal
injuries, risks or damages that could arise caused
by abnormal conditions, vibrations, corrosion,
abrasives, foreign objects or excessive temperatures and shall not be liable for any consequential or incidental damages.
8.6 Scrapping criteria
Whether the pump can be repaired or need to be
scrapped, depends on in which conditions the
internal parts are, or how damaged the whole
unit is. Please use appendix 5, Trouble shooting
guide as guideline or send the pump to Danfoss
headquarter in Denmark for evaluation.
8.3 Mechanical failure
If the pump is running dry, the temperature will
quickly increase which can cause burns.
If there is any leakage at start-up or during
operation, a high pressure jet can cause eye or
skin damage.
Leakage can result in ooding, which can cause
slipping, tripping or falling.
If water is dripping into the electric motor; it can
cause electric shock, re, short of circuit or even
death. When mounting the pump vertically,
always mount the motor above the pump to
avoid water leaking into the electric motor.
For other observations or troubles, please see
appendix 6, Right and Wrong which gives good
advises regarding design, installation, wiring and
troubleshooting.
In case the pump needs to be scrapped, please
follow your local environmental rules.

1. Introduction
The data sheet is valid for PAH pumps both non
ATEX and ATEX certied. The ATEX certied
versions are indicated with Ex in the designation.
The Danfoss range of PAH high-pressure pumps
is designed to supply water ow under highpressure for a varity of tap water applications.
Danfoss PAH pumps are positive displacement
pumps, with axial pistons that move a xed
amount of water in each cycle. Flow is proportional to the number of input shaft revolutions
(rpm). Unlike centrifugal pumps, they produce
the same ow at a given speed no matter what
the discharge pressure.
All components are designed to provide long
service life with a constantly high eciency and
minimum service required.
In the following all pumps are named PAH.

2. Benets • Zero risk of lubricant contamination:
- Oil lubricants are replaced with the
pumped medium, water, so there is no
contamination risk from the pump.
• Low maintenance costs:
- Ecient design and all-stainless steel
construction ensure exceptionally long
lifetime. When Danfoss specications
are met, service intervals of up to 8,000
hours can be expected. Service is easy,
and can be carried out on site due to
the simple design and few parts.
• Low energy costs:
- The highly ecient axial piston design
provides the lowest energy consumption of any comparable pump on the
market.
• Easy installation:
- The lightest and most compact design
available.
3. Application examples • Stationary and mobile hydraulic systems
• High-pressure systems
• Fire ghting
- Pump can be installed horizontally or
vertically.
- No pulsation dampeners necessary due
to extremely low-pressure pulsation.
- Powered by electric motors or combustion engines.
- Suitable for both boosted inlet
pressure and water supply from a tank.
- No need for cooling circuits due to very
high mechanical eciency.
• Certied quality:
Certicates:
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ITF 16949
