4. Arrival inspection,
transportation,
handling, lifting and
storage
3.7 Filtration
(10µm absolute [β10 ≥ 5000])
Requirements are specified in appendix 1, Data
sheet and appendix 2, Instruction.
Danfoss recommends not to build a filter bypass
function or use filters 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 filter via the differential/delta pressure across
the filter.
Using insufficient filtration or a filter 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 specified 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 flow. 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
together with an electric motor. The weight of a
small pump with a motor will be above 20 kilos.
In case of damage and/or missing parts, a report
should be documented and presented to the
carrier at once.
4.2 Warning
Before any lifting operation is performed,
environmental conditions must be taken into
consideration (Ex-rated areas, wind speed, wet/
dry conditions, lifting height, etc.).
4.3 General safety information
Personnel involved in lifting and transporting the
equipment (see Safety, chapter 2) must be
trained in handling and safety procedures when
lifting heavy loads. Many of the pumps and
pump units weigh more than 20 kilos, which
requires lifting slings and suitable lifting devices;
e.g. an overhead crane or industrial truck to be
used as minimum.

Operation guide | Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual for PAHT G 256-308 pumps
Pumps which have a weight above 20 kilos (see
appendix 1, Data sheet) must be handled by
using lifting eyes and slings.
Wrong lifting:
When the pump is mounted together with an
electric motor, the pump unit always weigh more
than 20 kilos and must be handled by using
slings around the pump unit.
See below examples of where to/not to attach
the lifting slings on the pump unit:
Correct lifting with 2 separate slings:
When lifting the pump unit, one sling must be
attached to the electric motor and one sling
around the pump.
Only some motors and pumps have specific
lifting eyes.
Do not use connections/nozzles for lifting!
Do not use only one sling!
Make sure that the unit/load is balanced before
lifting. The centre of the mass varies from pump/
pump unit size to pump/pump unit.
How to mount the pump and the electric motor
correctly, see appendix 1, Data sheet or appendix
2, Instruction.
Incorrect lifting can result in personal injury
and/or damage to the pump unit, see appendix
2, Instruction.
Once the lifting is done the lifting eye must
be removed from the pump.
4.5 Return to supplier
Please see maintenance chapter 7.
4.6 Storage

8. Troubleshooting and
scrapping criteria
8.1 General safety information
Before inspecting the pump unit, it is necessary
to read and understand this user manual,
especially the Safety chapter 2.
Remember to wear suitable safety equipment
according to Safety chapter 2.
8.2 Operational conditions which can cause
pump failures
The following conditions can cause a pump
failure :
• The pump is running dry.
• The inlet pressure is too high.
• The inlet pressure is too low.
• The temperature of the fluid is too high.
• The ambient temperature is too high.
• The pump is running against a blocked
port/closed manual valve.
• The pump is operating at a pressure out of
specification.
• The pump is running with a non-specified/
approved fluid.
• The pump is running in the wrong
direction.
• The filtration is insufficient.
• There is excessive mechanical load on the
shaft coupling and piping.
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, fire 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.
Electrical
hazard
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 flooding, which can cause
slipping, tripping or falling.
If water is dripping into the electric motor; it can
cause electric shock, fire, 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.

PAHT G pumps
PAHT 2-308 pumps /
PAHT G 2.0 - PAHT G 308
ATEX PAHT G 2.0 - PAHT G 308
The Danfoss range of PAHT G high-pressure
pumps is specifically designed for use with
technical water such as:
• Ultra-pure water that has undergone
multiple reverse osmosis processes
• De-ionized water
• Demineralized water
Danfoss PAHT G pumps are positive displacement pumps, with axial pistons that move a fixed
amount of water in each cycle. Flow is proportional to the number of input shaft revolutions
(rpm). Unlike centrifugal pumps, they produce
the same flow at a given speed independently of
no matter what the discharge pressure.
The range of PAHT G pumps is based on the
standard PAHT pump series. The PAHT G pumps
are made with extra coatings that reduce the
wear of the pump. This coating is particularly
important for pumps used in gas turbine
applications or other similar applications where
the wear of the pumps is higher due to the ultra
pure water quality.
The next pages will cover both PAHT G and PAHT
G ATEX pumps.
ATEX certified pumps are indicated by Ex in the
type designation - example PAHT G 12.5 Ex.

6. Motor requirements
The required motor power can be calculated by
using the following equation:
n x V x p
P =
600.000 x η
P: Power (kW)
M: Torque (Nm)
η: Mechanical efficiency
p: Pressure (barg)
n: Motor speed (rpm)
V: Displacement (cm3/rev.)
From the flow curves in item 5, you can determine the rpm of the pump at the desired flow.
The required torque is calculated as follows:
V x p
M =
62.8 x η
To determine the correct motor size, both the
power and torque requirement must be verified.
The mechanical efficiency of the pump, at max
pressure, is as follows:

Note: Do not add any axial or radial loads to the
pump shaft.
7.1 Filtration
Proper filtration is crucial for the performance,
maintenance and warranty of your pump.
Protect your pump, and the application in which
it is installed, by always ensuring that filtration
specifications are met, and by always changing
filter cartridges according to schedule.
Since water has very low viscosity, Danfoss
PAHT G pumps have been designed with very
narrow clearances in order to control internal
leakage rates and improve component performance. To minimize wear on the pump, it is
therefore essential to filter inlet water properly.
The main filter must have a filtration efficiency
of 99.98% at 10 μm. We strongly recommend
that you always use precision depth filter
cartridges rated 10 μm abs. β10 ≥ 5,000.
Please note that we do not recommend bag
filters or string-wound filter cartridges, which
typically have only 50% filtration efficiency. This
means that out of 100,000 particles that enter
such filters, 50,000 particles pass right through
them; compare this to precision depth filters that
are 99.98% efficient, and only allow 20 of the
same 100,000 particles to pass through.
D
For more information on the importance of
proper filtration, including explanation of
filtration principles, definitions, and guidance on
how to select the right filter for your pump,
please consult our Filtration information and
specifications (Danfoss document number
521B1009).
7.2 Noise
Since the pump unit is mounted on a frame, the
overall noise level can only be determined for a
complete system. To minimize vibrations and
noise throughout the system, it is therefore very
important to mount the pump unit correctly on a
frame with dampers and to use flexible hoses
rather than metal pipes where possible.
The noise level is influenced by:
• Pump speed:
High rpm makes more fluid/structureborne pulsations/vibrations than low rpm.
• Discharge pressure:
High pressures make more noise than low
pressures.
• Pump mounting:
Rigid mounting makes more noise than
flexible mounting because of the structureborne vibrations. Be sure to use dampers
when mounting.
• Connections to pump:
Pipes connected directly to the pump make
more noise than flexible hoses because of
structure-borne vibrations.
• Variable frequency drives (VFDs):
Motors regulated by VFDs can produce
more noise if the VFD does not have the
right settings.

7.3 Open-system design
A Inlet line:
Dimension the inlet line to obtain minimum pressure loss (large flow, minimum
pipe length, minimum number of bends/
connections, fittings with small pressure
losses and restrictions).
B Inlet filter:
Install the inlet filter (1) in front of the
PAHT G pump (2). Please consult the Danfoss filter data sheet for guidance on
how to select the right filter.
C Monitoring pressure switch:
Install the monitoring pressure switch (3)
between the filter and the pump inlet. Set
the minimum inlet pressure according to
specifications described in item 4, technical
data. The monitoring pressure switch stops
the pump if inlet pressure is lower than the
set minimum pressure.
D Monitoring temperature switch:
Install the monitoring temperature switch
(4) between the filter and the pump, on
either side of the monitoring pressure
switch. Set the temperature value accord-
ing to technical data, item 4. The monitor-
ing temperature switch stops the pump if
inlet temperature is higher than the set
value.
E Hoses:
Always use flexible hoses (5) to minimize
vibrations and noise.
F Inlet pressure:
In order to eliminate the risk of cavitation
and other pump damage, pump inlet
pressure must be maintained according to
specifications described in item 4, technical
data.
G Non-return valve (6):
Should be installed after the outlet to
prevent pump backspin, which may ruin
the pump.
H Pressure relief valve:
As the Danfoss PAHT G pump begins to
create pressure and flow immediately after
start-up regardless of any counter pressure,
a pressure relief valve (7) should be
installed to prevent system damage.
Note: If a non-return valve is mounted in the
inlet line, a low-pressure relief valve is also
recommended between the non-return valve
(8) and the pump to protect against high-pressure peaks.

9. ServiceDanfoss PAHT G pumps are designed for long
periods of service-free operation to ensure low
maintenance and life cycle costs. Provided that
the pump is installed and operated according to
Danfoss specifications, Danfoss PAHT G pumps
typically run up to 8,000 hours. However, the
service schedule for your Danfoss PAHT G pump
may vary according to the application and other
factors.
The life of a pump may be greatly shortened if
Danfoss recommendations concerning system
design and operation are not followed.
In our experience, poor filtration is the number
one cause of pump damage.
Other factors that affect pump performance and
lifetime include:
• running the pump at speeds outside
specifications
• supplying the pump with water at temperatures higher than recommended
• running the pump at inlet pressures
outside specifications
• running the pump at outlet pressures
outside the specifications.
We recommend that you inspect your pump
after 8,000 hours of operation even if it is
running without any noticeable problems.
Replace any worn parts if necessary, including
pistons and shaft seals, to keep your pump
running efficiently and to prevent breakdown. If
worn parts are not replaced, then our guidelines
recommend more frequent inspection.

2. System designThe design of the system must ensure that
self-emptying of the pump during standstill is
avoided.
The inlet pressure of the pump must never
exceed the outlet pressure. This may typically
occur in boosted or open-ended systems with
direct water supply.
2.1 Open-ended systems with direct water
supply
The pump is supplied with water direct from a
feed pump.
The inlet pressure for PAHT G 256/308 must be at
least 2 barg (29 psig) and it must not exceed
6 barg (87 psig) continuously.
If it is unknown what the peak inlet pressure can
be, then there should be a 10 barg (145 psig)
select the right filter. Thoroughly clean
pipes and flush system prior to start-up.
Monitoring pressure switch:
C Place a monitoring pressure switch (3) set
at min. inlet pressure between filter and
pump inlet. The monitoring switch must
stop the pump at pressures lower than
minimum pressure.
Monitoring temperature switchD Place a monitoring temperature switch (4)
set at 50°C between filter and pump. The
monitoring switch must stop the pump at
temperatures higher than set value.
HosesE Use flexible hoses (5) to minimize vibra-
tions and noise.
Inlet pressure:F In order to eliminate the risk of damage

and cavitation, a positive pressure at the
inlet is always to be maintained at min.
inlet pressure and max. inlet pressure.
Non-return valveG A non-return valve (6) after the outlet can
be installed in order to avoid backspin of
the pump.
Pressure relief valve:H A pressure relief valve (7) can be installed in
order to avoid system damage as the
Danfoss PAHT G pump creates pressure and
flow immediately after start-up, regardless
of any counter pressure.
Note: If a non-return valve is mounted in the
inlet line, a low pressure relief valve is also
required between non return valve (8) and
M
pump as protection against high pressure
2
peaks.

2.3 Reversible pumps
If exposed to high pressure in the outlet while
the electric motor is not energized, the pumps
will start spinning backwards. This will not harm
the pumps as long as the pressure in the inlet
does not exceed the max. pressure peak of
10 barg (145 psig).
If a non-return valve is mounted in the inlet line,
a low-pressure relief valve is also required as
protection against high-pressure pulses and high
pressure in general.
Alternatively a high-pressure check valve can be
mounted in the pump discharge line to prevent
the pump from reversing.
The dotted setup ensures that the inlet pressure
does not exceed 10 barg (145 psig), when a
non-return valve is mounted in the inlet.
In order to avoid the risk of cavitation, the inlet
pressure at the pump must be min. 2 barg
(29 psig).
The inlet line connection must be properly
tightened, as possible entrance of air will cause
cavitation.
2.4 General comments on
Filtration
A good filtration is vital to ensure a long and
trouble free life of the pump.
As water has very low viscosity, the PAHT G
pumps have been designed with very narrow
clearance in order to control internal leakage
rates and improve component performance.
Therefore it is important that the inlet water is
filtered properly to minimize the wear of the
pump.
The main filter must have a filtration efficiency of
99.98% at 10 µm. We recommend to use
precision depth filter cartridges rated 10 µm abs.
β10 ≥ 5000 (equivalent to a filtration efficiency of
99.98%). Bag filters and string wound filter
cartridges typically have only 50% filtration
efficiency. This means that for each 100,000 particles reaching the filter, 50,000 particles pass
through it compared to only 20 particles in a
filter with an efficiency of 99.98%.
For more information on the importance of
proper filtration, please consult our publication
“Filtration” (code number 521B1009), which also
will provide you with an explanation of filtration
definitions and a guidance on how to select the
right filter.
Monitoring
It is recommended to continuously monitor the
following conditions:
• filter clogging
• pressure (inlet- and outlet side of the
pump)

1. Mount the coupling flush or maximum
1mm offset from the pump shaft end.
Ensure an air gap between coupling and
pump flange of min. 4 mm (0.16 in).
2. Mount the bell housing on pump. Secure
nuts with the right torque.
3. Measure the longest distance “A” from top
of bell housing to the button of coupling
claw.
4. Mount the coupling on motor shaft. Ensure
the coupling and motor flange are not in
contact with each other.
5. Measure from motor flange to the top of
the coupling. That measurement “B” shall
be 3-5 mm (0.12 - 0.2 inch) shorter than the
measurement “A”.
6. Adjust respectively, verify the measurement, and secure both couplings with the
right torques on the locking screws (see
coupling operation & mounting instruction).
7. Mount the elastic gear ring and mount the
bell housing/pump on the motor. After
mounting it must be possible to move the
elastic gear ring 3-5mm (0.12 - 0.2 in) axial
“C”. The check can be done through the
inspection hole of bell housing. Secure
flange bolts with the right torque.

3.3 Orientation
The pump can be mounted/orientated in any
horizontal direction with the inlet and the outlet
pointing upwards, downwards or to either side.
If alternative mounting is desired, please contact
the Danfoss Sales Organization.
Choose proper tolerances to ensure an easy
mounting of the elastic coupling without use of
tools.
Please take care to observe the recommended
length tolerances of the chosen coupling, as an
axial force on the pump will damage the pump.

4. Initial start-up
3.4 Protection from too high pressures
The pump should be protected against too high
pressure by means of a safety valve or a pressure
relief valve.
The valve should be placed as close to the pump
as possible.
The opening characteristics of the valve must not
result in peak pressures higher than 100 barg
(1450 psig).
Both the inlet and outlet lines must be flexible
soft hoses.
The valve outlet must not be connected
directly to the pump suction line. It must be
connected directly to the drain.
3.5 Connections
I: Inlet
O: Outlet
C: Bleeding
1. Flush inlet line before connecting the
pump, to remove possible impurities from
pipes, hoses etc.
2. Loosen top bleeding plug “C” (see item 3.5)
using an allen key (only plugs with internal
hexagan sockets). Retighten the plug,
when water appears from the bleeding
plug.
3. Make sure that the direction of rotation of
the electric motor corresponds to the direction of rotation of the pump (see label on
pump).
D: Parallel key
C
I
O

3.6 Grounding
To prevent stray current corrosion we recommend grounding of the pump and all other parts
in the system.
All parts in the system must be electrical
potential equalized to a single reference point
(grounding point). It is recommended that the
electrical resistance in the grounding cable is
equal to or below 0.25 Ohm towards the
grounding point.
4. Now the pump is ready for start-up.
WARNING:
Make sure that the direction of rotation of the
electric motor corresponds to the direction of
rotation of the pump (see label on pump).
Otherwise the pump will be damaged if a
check valve is placed between pump and feed
pump.
5. Operation5.1 Tempe ratur e
Fluid temperature:
Min. +2°C to max. +50°C
(Min. +35.6°F to max. +122°F)
Ambient temperature:
Min. +2°C to max. +50°C
(Min. +35.6°F to max. +122°F)
Storage temperature:
Min. -40°C to max. +70°C
(Min. -40°F to max. +158°F)
In case of lower operating temperatures, please
contact the Danfoss Sales Organization.
5.2 Pressure
The inlet pressure for PAHT G 256/308 must be
min. 2 barg (29 psig) and max. 6 barg (87 psig). At
lower pressures the pump will cavitate, resulting
in damage of the pump.
Max. inlet pressure peak (e.g. in case the pump
stops momentarily) up to 10 barg (145 psig) are
acceptable. Max. pressure on the pump’s outlet
line should be limited at 120 barg (1740 psig) continuously.
NB: The pump unit should include a pressure
gauge on the high pressure side.
5.3 Dry running
When running, the pump must always be
connected to the water supply in order to avoid
damage if it should run dry.
5.4 Disconnection
If the inlet line is disconnected from the water
supply, the pump will be emptied of water
through the disconnected inlet line. When
starting up again, follow the bleeding procedure
described under section 4, Initial start up.
5.5 Storage
When preparing the pump for long-term storage
or for temperatures below the freezing point,
flush the pump with an anti-freeze medium type
monopropylene glycol to prevent internal
corrosion or frost in the pump.
For further information on anti-freeze media,
please contact the Danfoss Sales Organization.

Instruction | Pump instruction PAHT G 256-308
Recommended procedure:
1. Disconnect the water supply to the pump.
2. Through the lower bleeding plug, empty
the pump housing of water and close it
again.
3. Connect the pump to a tank containing
anti-freeze additive. Connect a hose to the
inlet port of the pump and via another
hose return the flow from the outlet port
port to the tank with anti-freeze additives.
4. Quickly start and stop the pump. Make sure
that the pump does not run dry. The pump
is now protected against internal corrosion
and frost.
6. ServiceThe Danfoss PAHT G pumps are designed for
long periods of service-free operation to provide
customers with low maintenance and life cycle
costs. Provided that the pumps are installed and
operated according to Danfoss specifications,
the Danfoss PAHT G pumps typically run 8,000
hours between service routines. However, the
service schedule for your PAHT G pump may vary
according to the application and other factors.
The life of a pump may be greatly shortened if
Danfoss recommendations concerning system
design and operation are not followed.
In our experience, poor filtration is the number
one cause of pump damage.
7. Recommended service
intervals
7.1 General information
This guideline provides information on the
recommended service intervals for the PAHT G
pumps. The recommendation is based upon
good engineering practice and on experience
gained from operation even under extreme
conditions.
The recommendation is for guidance only.
7.2 Inspection of pump parts
Danfoss recommends to inspect the pumps after
8,000 hours. Typical signs of wear are seen on the
contact/sliding surfaces in the pumps. If the
pumps must run for additional 8,000 hours, the
following parts will have to be inspected:
• Pistons
• Retainer plate, ball and bearing
• Valve plate
• Port plate
• Sealings
Other factors that affect pump performance and
lifetime include:
• running the pump at speeds outside
specifications
• supplying the pump with water at temperatures higher than recommended
• running the pump at inlet pressures
outside specifications
• running the pump at outlet pressures
outside the specifications.
If service inspection due to the application is
complicated, the plant operator can decide to
extend the service interval by evaluating the
following deviations:
• Sound - does the pump have any unusual
sounds?
• Electric motor power consumption and
speed compared with measurement made
in the past.
• Pressure/flow according to measurements
made in the past?
We advise that the above mentioned parameter
during the extended service interval is inspected
for every 500-2,000 hours beyond the 8,000
hours. The pump must in any case be inspected
after maximum 16,000 hours or 2 years.
7.3 How to inspect the pump
Service manuals are available on the internet
hpp.danfoss.com
If there are any wear marks on the parts they
need to be replaced.

Motor
Manual
General
This manual concerns the following types of standard
induction motors from Hoyer:
HMA3, HMC3, HMA2, HMC2, HMD, HMT, MS, Y2E1, Y2E2, YDT
These motors are manufactured in accordance with IEC/EN
60034-4 and IEC/EN 60072.
Motors are rated for the ambient temperature range -20°C to
+40°C and site altitudes ≤1000 m above sea level.
Low-voltage motors are components for installation in
machinery. They are CE marked according to the Low Voltage
Directive 2014/35/EU.
Motors not fulfilling the IE3 efficiency level must be equipped
with a variable speed drive when used in EU.
Transport and storage
Check the motor for external damage immediately upon
receipt and, if found, inform the forwarding agent right away.
Check all rating plate data, and compare it with the
requirement of the motor.
Turn the shaft by hand to check free rotation, remove
transport locking if used.
Transport locking must be used again for internal transport
also. It is also important that transport locking is used when
motors are transported mounted on equipment.
All motors should be stored indoors, in dry, vibration- and
dust-free conditions.
Lifting eyebolts must be tightened before use. Damaged
eyebolts must not be used, check before use. Lifting eyes at
motor must not be used to lift the motor when it is attached
to other equipment.
Before commissioning, measure the insulation impedance. If
values are ≤ 10MΩ at 25°C, the winding must be oven dried.
The insulation resistance reference is halved for each 20°C
rise in motor temperature.
It is recommended that shafts are rotated periodically by
hand to prevent grease migration.
etc.) using suitable tools, never hit the drive components
with a hammer as this will cause damage to the bearing.
The motor are balancing with half key, ensure that the drive
components are also the same.
Correct alignment is essential to avoid bearing, vibration and
shaft failure.
Use appropriate methods for alignment.
Re-check the alignment after the final tightening of the bolts
or studs.
Check that drain holes and plugs face downwards. We
recommend opening the drain hole for motors placed
outdoors and not running 24 hours / day, so that the motor
can breathe, thus ensuring a dry motor.
Electrical connection
Work is only permitted to be carried out by qualified
specialists and must to be carried out in accordance with
local regulations.
Before work commences, ensure that all power is switched
off and cannot be switched on again. This also applies to the
auxiliary power circuits, e.g. anti-condense heaters.
Check that supply voltage and frequency are the same as
rated data.
Motors can be used with a supply deviation of ± 5% voltage
and ± 2% frequency, according to IEC60034-1.
Connection diagrams for main supply and accessory as PTC
or heater are located inside the terminal box.
Connections must be made in such a way as to ensure that
a permanently safe electrical connection is maintained, both
for the main supply and the earth connection.
We recommend that crimped connections are made in
accordance with IEC 60352-2.
Tightening torques for terminal board screws:
ThreadM5M6M8M10M12M16M20M24
T.(Nm)2.53.571218355580
Installation
The motor must be fixed on a stable, clear and flat foundation.
It must be sufficiently rigid to withstand possible short
circuit forces.
It is important to ensure that the mounting conditions do
not cause resonance with the rotational frequency and the
doubled supply frequency.

Grease the motor while running, open the grease outlet plug
and let the motor run 1-2 hours before the outlet grease plug
is closed again.
Grease the motor for the first time during commissioning.
The following applies in general for both lifetime lubricated
and re-lubricated bearings:
At 60Hz the time will be reduced by app. 20%.
Data for vertically mounted motors are half of the above
values.
The table values are based on an ambient temperature of
25°C. The values must be halved for every 15K increase in
bearing temperature.
Higher speed operations, e.g. frequency converter drive will
require shorter greasing intervals. Typically, doubling the
speed will reduce the values by 50%.
Special note for Atex Zone 22 and nA motors
Designation of motor according to IEC standard:
II 3D Ex tc IIIB T120°C
II 3G Ex nA IIC T3
The hazardous 3-phase asynchronous motors are in
accordance with International standard IEC 60079-31 and
IEC 60079-15.
Only one electrical installation may be installed in one
specified area (zone).
Only certificated cable glands may be used. Unused glands
must be closed.
Connections must be made in such a way as to ensure that
a permanently safe electrical connection is maintained, both
for the main supply and earth connection.
Installations must be in accordance with actual standards
for installation in hazardours area.
It is recommended that the IEC standard is followed according
to temperature and dust on the motor surface.
The use of motors with so much surface dust that the motor
temperature increases is not permitted.
Regularly cleaning is recommended.
The radial shaft sealing ring is part of the ATEX certification.
It is important that the ring is always intact.
The shaft sealing must be regularly checked, and if dry it
must be lubricated. It is recommended that the seal is relubricated regularly.
Always use the original seal ring when replaced.
Replacing bearings also means replacing the seals.
All machines must be inspected regularly for mechanical
damage.
The user is responsible for changing parts in accordance
with the lifetime of parts, in particular:
bearings, grease and lubrication of shaft sealing.
Maintenance, repairs and replacement on this type must
only be carried out by qualified specialists.

1. No flow/no pressure
Cause RemedyComments
1.1 Dry running
(no water supply to the pump)
1.2 Pump reversing
(electric motor is running the wrong direction,
i.e. counter-clockwise)
If no water comes out of the pump:
1.1.1 Check that inlet valve is open.
1.1.2 Check that booster pump is running.
1.2.1 Change the phase on the electric motor to
make it run clockwise.
WARNING:
- The pump must not run without water for
more than a few seconds.
- If the pump takes in water from the high-
pressure outlet line, it builds up pressure in
pump housing and will eventually break
down.
Mount a low pressure switch in front of the
pump and check its set point/ function. The low
pressure switch ensures that the pump does not
start until the inlet pressure has reachedminimum inlet pressure (see Data sheet).
Rotation direction for the pump is shown by an
arrow on the label on the pump.

1.4.5 Contact Danfoss Sales office for guidelines
in how to troubleshoot internal pump
parts.
1.5.1 Ensure that the air gap between the two
coupling parts is min 5 mm. It should
always be possible to move the plastic part
on the coupling at least 3 mm.
If motor-type relay or the electrical fuse is
blown, check that electric motor is sized
correctly.
To ensure easy mounting of the flexible coupling
without using tools, the tolerances must be
dimensioned accordingly.
WARNING:
Any axial and/or radial loads on the shaft must
be avoided. Any axial or radial load will cause

2. Reduced flow/reduced pressure
Cause RemedyComments
2.1 Wear on pump
Large internal leakage due to:
2.1.1 Dismantle the pump.
2.1.2 Check valve plate.
Valve plate has marks/scratches on the
surface facing the port plate. Minor wear
on valve plate can cause large internal
leakage. See Index 6.1.
2.1.3 Check port plate.
Port plate has marks/scratches on the
surface facing the valve plate. Minor wear
on port plate can cause large internal
leakage. See Index 6.2.
2.1.4 Check cylinder barrel.
Liners in cylinder barrel may be scratched
or worn. Insert a piston in the liner and
check the fit. If there is any space (clearance) between liner and piston, liner or
piston is worn.
2.1.5 Pre-treatment:
Analyse fluid for content of particles.
- Check that filters are OK and working
correctly.
2.1.6 Main filtration:
Check that the correct filter type is used
(particles in fluid must not exceed 10 μm).
Danfoss High Pressure Pumps supplies
filters, please contact the sales office.
Typical signs of wear:
Polished surface all over the swash plate.
Normally, only half of the swash plate = the
pressure side is polished. See index 6.3.
If the ring is missing, the piston is very worn.
The filters can be bypassed, even if they are
correctly mounted. Some filters can create
channelling where particles can pass through
the filter in tunnels. String wounded filters are
typically channelling filters. A string wound filter
may have a filtration efficiency of only 50%,
which will cause internal wear and must always be followed by a main filter.
2.1.7 Fluid type:
The PAH/PAH F (tapwater) and PAHT/PAHT
G (ultra pure water) pumps are designed
for water operation; for any other fluid,
please contact Danfoss High Pressure
Pumps sales office for further help.
2.1.8 High fluid temperature:
If fluid temperature is above 50°C, stop the
pump immediately.
- Check internal parts (see above).
2.2 Low inlet pressure2.2.1 Check that booster pump supplies the
right pressure/flow.
2.2.2 Check if filters require replacement.
2.3 Rotation speed (rpm)2.3.1 If VFD-operated, check frequency.
2.3.2 Check that rotation speed of the electric
motor is as stated on name plate on
electric motor. Check that the motor rotor
winding is not damaged.
Insufficient filtration means that too many or too
large hard particles can pass the main filter
because it is damaged, bypassed or simply too
poor. Filtration efficiency must be 99.98%
(Beta = 5000) at 10 μm to prevent abnormal
wear of the pump.
Temperature > 50° C will cause wear on internal
pump parts. Mount a temperature switch and
check its set point / function. The temperature
switch will ensure that the pump stops at fluid
temperatures > 50° C.
If the pressure drop across the filters is too high,
the booster pump does not deliver sufficient
flow/pressure. No pressure or low pressure
results in cavitation and insufficient internal
lubrication causing wear on internal pump parts.
Mount a low-pressure switch in front of the
pump and check its set point/ function. The
low- pressure switch ensures that the pump does
not start until the inlet pressure has reached 1
bar.
Speeds below minimum limit (see Data sheet)
result in insufficient internal lubrication causing
wear on the internal pump parts.

3. High torque on electric motor
Cause RemedyComments
3.1 Too high outlet pressure from pump3.1.1 Check for blocked nozzles or a faulty
adjusted relief valve.
Pressure changes due to flow restrictions. This
will also cause high motor torque.
3.2 Pump starts against pressure3.2.1 Check that electric motor is correctly sized.
3.2.2 Check internal parts (see item 2.1).
3.2.3 Systems with more than one electric motor
installed:
Start motors simultaneously.
3.4 Water pump damage3.4.1 Dismantle pump and check for wear.Too heavy damage in the pump will increase
Pumps run in parallel with cascade start, may
switch off the motor relay due to too high
torque caused by high outlet pressure.
If the electric motor is too small for the pump, it
cannot provide sufficient torque.

4. Noise from pump
Cause RemedyComments
4.1 Air in fluid4.1.1 Ensure that the entire inlet line is bled
before starting up the system.
4.1.2 Ensure that air cannot enter into the inlet
line.
4.2 Bleeding conditions of pump4.2.1 Follow the instructions “Initial start-up”
supplied with the new pump.
4.2.2 Ensure that the pump is completely bled
before start-up.
4.3 Min/max nominal inlet pressure4.3.1 Ensure that inlet pressure is within
the limits specified in the Data sheet.
4.3.2 Check the pump for internal damage.
4.4 Pump reversing4.4.1 Dismantle pump and check if anything is
broken or worn (See “1. No flow”, item 1.2
Pump reversing”).
WARNING:
The pump must not run without water for
more than a few seconds. If the pump
takes in water from the high-pressure
outlet line, it builds up pressure and will
eventually be damaged.
4.5 High rotation speed (rpm)4.5.1 If electric motor rpm is too high, dismantle
pump and check for damage.
4.5.2 If the rpm is within the specified range of
the pump data sheet and abnormal noise
remains, dismantle pump and check for
damage.
Small air bubbles will accumulate and create
large bubbles causing internal cavitation and
thus making the pump very noisy.
WARNING:
The pump can only run few minutes with air in
the fluid without being damaged.
The pump and the inlet line must be completely
bled before start-up, otherwise the pump will
cavitate and make high noise.
WARNING:
The pump can only run few minutes with air in
the fluid without being damaged.
Too high inlet pressure causes too high pressure
inside the pump damaging the pistons and
eventually the pump.
Inlet pressure below min. limit causes cavitation
and insufficient internal lubrication resulting in
wear on internal pump parts.
Mount a low-pressure switch in front of the
pump and check its set point/ function. The
low-pressure switch will ensure that the pump
does not start until the minimum inlet pressure
has been reached.
If pump rotates in wrong direction, it will take in
water from the high-pressure outlet line.
Pressure will be built up inside the pump and it
will eventually be damaged.
Higher rpm than specified in the pump data
sheet results in wear of the pistons, i.e. pistons
may be damaged.
High rpm will also increase pressure pulsations
from the pump, and the noise level will increase.
4.6 Outlet pressure4.6.1 If outlet pressure is too low, check set point
of outlet pressure valve.
4.6.2 If outlet pressure is lower than mentioned
in the pump data sheet, please contact
Danfoss High Pressure Pumps technical
support.
4.6.3 If outlet pressure has exceeded its
maximum, check set point of outlet
pressure valve.
4.6.4 Check internal parts for wear/damage.
4.7 Soft start/stop4.7.1 Check if noise is normal when the pump is
running at operation speed.
4.7.2 If noise is abnormal at operation speed,
check internal parts (see above).
180R9384 | AQ188686502990en-000901 | IOM PAHT G 256-308 | 01.2022
If rpm is changed, noise frequency will also
change.
At too low outlet pressure, the pump will create
higher pressure pulsations and thus make noise.
Too low pressure also causes insufficient internal
lubrication and wear on internal parts. Pump
may eventually be damaged.
Too high outlet pressure may damage the pump.
Noise frequency changes during soft start-up/
stop.

6. Typical signs of wear6.1 Valve plate
Picture 1
Picture 2
Scratches
A normally worn valve plate has no marks/scratches but only a slightly
polished surface.
No scratches or marks should be felt. The surface must be flat and level.
A worn valve plate has scratches, and/or a polished surface. Even small
scratches will give a loss of flow.
Picture 3A good way to identify a worn valve plate is to hold a straight knife edge
over the valve plate. When holding it up to the light, it will be possible to
see any space between the knife edge and the valve plate. See picture 3.
If any light can be seen between the two arrows on the picture, the valve
plate is worn.
If any scratches or ma rks can be felt by runnin g a fingernail over the surface,
the valve plate is worn.
The valve plate on picture 3 is highly damaged.
