The WP29 and WP32 are electrically powered fluid pumps available in 12 volt DC and 24 volt DC
configurations. The pump is available with carbon steel, or stainless steel shafts for fluid compatibility. Proper
installation of the pump will help ensure the performance and reliability of the electric pump while reducing the
risk of damage to other components in the system.
This document provides a check list to confirm that the pump and the installation of the pump fall within the
hardware and operational capabilities of the pump. If there are parameters outside the normal application,
additional information will be required for EMP Engineering to approve the installation or warranty will be void.
Use the Installation Approval check sheet located in Appendix B to submit
installation inf ormat ion to EMP for approval.
The information contained in this manual is updated periodically. While great care is taken in compiling the information contained in this m anual,
Engineered Machined Products, Inc. cannot assume liability for losses of any nature arising from any errors and/or omissions.

Three types of headings are used in this manual to stress your safety and safe operation of the WP29.
They appear in the text as follows:
WARNING:
THIS SYMBOL IS USED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF AN UNSAFE CONDITION, HAZARD, OR PRACTICE THAT
CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION:
THIS SYMBOL IS USED TO ALERT YOU TO A CONDITION OR PRACTICE THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE WP29 AND WP32 OR THE VEHICLE, OR BOTH.
NOTE: Is used to provide additional information that requires special attention by the technician.
Product Safety Warnings
EMP cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The safety messages in this
document, in related manuals, and on the product are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method, or operating
technique that not specifically recommended by EMP is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and for others. You should
ensure that the product will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the operation, maintenance, or repair procedures that you choose.
Ensure that all safety message and information messages are read and understood before installation, maintenance, or any
repairs are performed. The person who services the product may be unfamiliar with many of the systems on the product. It is
important to use caution when service work is performed. Knowledge of the vehicle system and operation are important before the
removal or disassembly of any component.
Make sure the vehicle is in neutral, the parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked before doing any work or diagnostic
procedures on the WP29 and WP32, or vehicle.
Disconnect the main negative battery cable and/or switch the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position first before
installation or servicing.
Use extreme caution when working on systems under pressure (i.e. coolant, hydraulic fluids, air, etc…)
Make sure the work area is ventilated and well lit.
Make sure charged fire extinguishers are in the work area.
Reinstall all safety guards, shields, and covers after servicing the vehicle.
Make sure all tools, parts, and service equipment are removed from the engine compartment and vehicle after all work is done.
Do not apply power to the pump without fluid since most pumps are programmed to start when power is applied and the pump
seal will be damaged if run dry.
If CAN or Serial TTL control is not used the 6 pin DTM connector must be blocked off to prevent entry of water or dirt which will
result in damage to the pump. A block off plug EMP P/N 3250001030 can be purchased or one can be fabricated from the Deutsch
parts listed in the table on page 12
The purpose of the WP29 and WP32 installation manual is to present information related to the
pump’s dimensions, electrical specifications, flow and pressure capabilities, coolant guidelines,
recommended plumbing, and system testing. This manual also outlin es th e WP29 and WP32
limitations that should be recognized and adhered to.
Development Engineer Responsibilities
The organization responsible for incorporating the WP29 and WP32 pump into any system must read
and understand the requirements and specifications as explained in this manual. At any time during
system development, EMP will participate in a design review if requested. Prior to production release
of any system incorporating the WP29 and/or WP32, please take the time to fill out the included
product installation registration form and e-mail to [email protected].
EMP engineering will review the intended installation and will contact you if there are any issues seen
in the information provided. It is up to the design engineer to ensure that all requirements are met;
failure to do will void product warranty.
The product identification labels are attached to the controller housing next to the electrical interface of the
pump. The pump hardware part and serial numbers are located on the upper label. The lower label identifies
the Programmed Assembly number and the associated control software as the pump leaves the manufacturing
facility. The EMP service tool can be used to confirm the pump software should calibration changes be
required and new identification tags issued.
The pump performance curves shown in the illustrations below outline the maximum capability of the pump at
maximum speed of the pump. Following the installation guidelines will result in peak performance matching
the illustrated operation. Pump speed reduction will reduce the output capability.
The static pressure curve represents the pressure rise across the pump for a given flow. If the inlet pressure of
the pump is negative, the outlet pressure of the pump is reduced by the inlet suction. Be aware of this situation
in systems with little or no head pressure on the system.

Vibration
Vibration exceeding the EMPTS009 profile can shorten pump life, potentially leading to PCB and motor shaft
failures. If you are unsure of your vibration profile for a given installation please contact EMP to ensure
warranty coverage.
Environment
Environment cleanliness is crucial to pump life. The WP29 and WP32 are certified with an IP67 rating but
debris collection in the weep pocket can lead to premature seal failure (See figure below). Shielding may be
required to ensure debris does not enter the weep hole. If you have any questions regarding your installation
contact EMP to ensure warranty coverage.
Orientation
Each pump part number has a specified and approved orientation. If the pump is not properly installed several
failure modes could potentially result. Please reference the Pump Orientation section of this document for
installation guidelines. If you have any questions regarding pump orientation please contact EMP to ensure
warranty coverage
•The WP29 and WP32 pumps must maintain an inlet pressure greater than -5 psi (-35kPa gauge) at
the set WP29 and WP32 operating speed under all operating conditions
Is Not Allowed
In the WP29 and WP32 Pump Inlet Pressure Map, three inlet configurations are illustrated. “Inlet A”
configuration represents an inlet that is very restrictive, and any pump operation above 3000 pump rpm
will violate the minimum inlet pressure requirement. The configuration will be forced to have a 3000
rpm pump speed limit. “Inlet B” is also restrictive, and will require the WP29 and WP32 pump speeds
to be limited to 3500 rpm, where “Inlet C” remains in the safe operating zone for all measured pump
speeds and has no special limitations.
If the application has low outlet restriction, the pump is current limited and may not be able to reach the
anticipated pump speed. This speed limitation is a result of the motor controller protecting the
electronics from a condition where excessive heat may build up in the controller.
CAUTION:DO NOT RUN THE PUMP WITHOUT FLUID PRESENT. IF RUN DRY EVEN FOR A SHORT
PERIOD THE SEAL WILL BE DAMAGED.
Approved Coolants
Heavy Duty Engines using Fully Formulated Coolant: Reference ASTM D6210 -10 for coolant quality and
maintenance schedules. Test method references are listed in this specification
Light Duty Partial Formulated Coolant: Reference ASTM D3306 for coolant quality and maintenance
schedules.
Based on field testing and experience, the WP29 and WP32 are compatible with the following coolant types:
1. Ethylene Glycol
2. HOAT ( Hybrid Organic Acid Technology)
3. OAT (Organic Acid Technology)
4. Propylene Glycol
NOTE: - Use distilled water t o dilute c oolant or use pre-mix coolant
Supplementary Coolant Additives (SCA)
Coolant additives are allowed with the WP29 and WP32 water pump. The additive must be compatible with
the base coolant and all contact surfaces of the pump. The additive concentration must be within the additive
manufacturer’s specification. Damage to the WP29 and WP32 or the system will not be warranted if the
additive is not compatible with the base coolant or the concentration is outside manufacturer
recommendations.
CAUTION:CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE TO VERIFY THAT COOLANTS NOT LISTED ABOV E ARE
COMPATIBLE WITH PUMP COMPONENTS AND COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION APPROVAL FORM. WHEN USING
A COOLANT THAT IS NOT APPROVED, THE INSTALLATION MUST BE EMP APPROVED
CAUTION: USE OF “STOP LEAK” STYLE SYSTEM ADDITIVES ARE NOT APPROVED CAUTION: MIXING OF COOLANTS CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM. FLUIDS CAN

Pump Inlet must be plumbed using 25mm (1.0 inch) diameter hose and/or thin walled tubing from the fluid
supply to the pump inlet.
A restriction in the inlet plumbing is allowed as long as the flow diameter is not less than 17mm (0.75 inch) and
does not exceed 25mm (1.0 inch) in lengt h.
Deviations from the Recommended Plumbing must meet the Inlet Requirements and be approved by
EMP Engineering. Please contact EMP customer service for installation review.
Mounting Screws
Mounting screws used should be M8 x 1.25 screws (qty=4). These must have a minimum thread engagement
of 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) and be tightened to a torque of 15 ft-lb (20N-m).
CAUTION: THE MOUNTING HOLES ARE TAPPED TO A DEPTH OF 0.59 INCHES (15MM). BE AWARE OF
THE BRACKET THICKNESS WHEN SELECTING THE FASTENER LENGTH TO ENSURE THAT THE FASTENER
WILL NOT BOTTOM OUT IN THE PUMP HOUSING.
Hose Clamps
When making the inlet and outlet hose connections to the pump it is strongly recommended to use SAE20CT
worm drive type hose clamps. Torque worm drive clamps to 45 in-lbs per SAE J1508.Spring type c lamps are
not recommended.
(1): Peak current is based on the software current limit. 25 amps is the standard current limit for a 12V pump and 15 amps is the standard
current limit for a 24V pump for serial numbers > 07065826.
(2): The pump shuts down when the i nternal controller temperatures reaches 130˚C at this point the pump will stop running until the internal
controller temperature drops below 125˚C. Once t he safe value is reached, the pump will restart. No ignition cycle is required to restart the
pump.
(3): The inrush current occurs when the controller first receives the required voltage on the ignit ion pin. This current inrush is due to the
charging of the bulk capacitors in the controller. The inrush current numbers are worst case. They were measured with a battery as the source
with a harness that was 3ft in length (very low source impedance). Anything done in the application to increase the source impedance will have
a significant (downward) impact on these numbers. This current is not generated every t im e the motor is started, but only when the igniti on line
is first applied.

Recommended Wiring Practices
- Wiring or electrical harness must not rub on
sharp edges.
- The electrical harness should not be
stressed at connections (see Figure below)
-
- Incorporate Drip Loops into wiring designs
(see Figure below). The pump connectors
are environmentally sealed. However, good
wire management can help ensure a good
seal over the life of the product
down into connector
compromise the connector body seal
and possibly create a water intrusion
- The voltage drop between the battery and
the fan should not exceed 5% of the rated
battery voltage. This should be verified at
the pump’s maximum current draw.
Wiring or electrical harness must not rub or
make contact with a hot surface. There
should be 5" minimum clearance from the
exhaust.
- Wiring or electrical harness should be
supported at least every 18" to 20".
- To avoid possible fire or shock, do not pinch
any wiring or electrical harnesses.
- The use of Dielectric Grease such as Dow
Corning DC-4 is acceptable as long as the
connection is mated directly after grease
application to prevent dirt from being
captured by the grease

The Dual Orientation pumps cannot be mounted at any arbitrary angle (i.e. 45 deg off axis). Standard Service
pumps can use either the Vertical or Horizontal Orientations listed on the previous page.
Incorrect Pump Orientation and Reasons
The WP29 and WP32 contain a mechanical seal; 0.1cc/hr may weep past the seal as a part of normal
operation. To properly collect the weepage pump orientation is important. Too steep of an angle will
not allow the fluid to collect in the weep pocket and evaporate off and the pump may appear to be
leaking when in fact it is operating as designed. An incorrect mounting angle may also result in too
much fluid being retained in the weep pocket resulting in bearing contamination and reduced service
life.
CAUTION:DO NOT RUN THE PUMP WITHOUT FLUID PRESENT. IF RUN DR Y EVEN FOR A SHORT
PERIOD THE SEAL WILL BE DAMAGED.
1. Make sure the weep hole ports are not clogged with debris. If weep holes are plugged then
open them up.
Weep Hole Ports
2. While the pump is connected to the bus, remove the 6 pin plug and connect the TTL adapt er
and turn the bus and heating switches "on" (to enable pump).
a. 24V power and IGN must be supplied to pump or it will not connect to the service tool.
b. Use EMPower Connect™ Service Tool to verify that the pump is on and running at
correct speed.
3. Evaluate the pump for abnor mal noi ses dur i n g operati o n. This is a subjective evaluation,
vibration is not grinding; the user is looking for a noticeable bearing noise.
4. Observe the pump and area for leaking coolant. Fluid pouri ng out of the weep hol e w ould
indicate a failed mechanical seal. Dampness around the weep pocket is acceptable.
NOTE:
COOLANT MAY BE SEEN OUTSIDE THE EMP WP29 ELECTRIC WATER PUMP. Mechanical Seal
design requires fluid between the shaft and the seal material. This fluid vaporizes and passes the
seal, venting through the weep collection pocket. As the seal wears in, the amount of venting
decreases but never to zero.
In properly oriented pumps, the vapor will harmlessly evaporate unless the outside surfaces are
cool enough to condense the vapors, which may result in a small volume of coolant visible on the
exterior of the weep holes
There are two weep holes that vent from the same cavity. One will be capped with a solid plug,
the other with a cap with two holes. If the pump seals are leaking excessively, fluid will come
through the holes.
Acceptable Leakage
Depending on pump installation orientation, pumps may show up to 10 cc external leakage during
the first 100 hours. In the preferred orientation, about half this amount may have external leakage.
10 cc coolant will make a small puddle approximately 4 inches across on a flat surface.
