1.2 Other important notes
3. Installing the product
A blue or grey circle with a white graphical
symbol indicates that an action must be
taken.
A red or grey circle with a diagonal bar,
possibly with a black graphical symbol,
indicates that an action must not be taken
or must be stopped.
If these instructions are not observed, it
may result in malfunction or damage to the
equipment.
Tips and advice that make the work easier.
2. Receiving the product
The weight of the product is stated on the packaging.
CAUTION
Back injury
Minor or moderate personal injury
- Use lifting equipment which is approved
for the weight of the product.
- Use a lifting method suitable for the
weight of the product.
- Do not lift the product by lifting it in the
packaging inlay.
- Wear personal protective equipment.
CAUTION
Crushing of limbs
Minor or moderate personal injury
- Avoid insecure stacking of the product.
The pumps are delivered from factory in a packaging
specially designed for manual transport or transport
by forklift truck or a similar vehicle.
3.1 Mechanical installation
Before installing the pump, check that the pump type
and parts are as ordered.
CAUTION
Hot or cold surface
Minor or moderate personal injury
- Make sure that no one can accidentally
come into contact with hot or cold
surfaces.
The pump must be installed with the motor shaft
vertical. It must be mounted on a plane surface and
secured by anchor bolts. Tighten each of the four
bolts to a torque of 10 Nm.
The pump must be installed so that the inlet pipe is
as short and the suction lift as small as possible.
The pump must be sited in a well-ventilated but
frost-free position. See section 7.2 Frost protection.
The pump may be sited outdoors, but it must be
protected from the elements by means of a suitable
cover.
The pump must be installed with easy access for
inspection, maintenance and service.

3.2 Pipes
1
2
3
Outlet port
Inlet port
English (GB)
We recommend that you fit isolating valves on either
side of the pump. It is thus not necessary to drain the
system if the pump needs service. If the pump is
installed above the liquid level, a non-return valve
must be fitted in the inlet pipe below the liquid level.
The pump must not be stressed by the pipes.
The pipes must be correctly sized taking due
account of the pump inlet pressure.
If the pump is installed at the lowest point of the
system, impurities and sludge may accumulate in the
pump.
Install the pipes according to the design
requirements given in EN ISO 13480-3:2012.
Tolerances must comply with EN ISO 13920:1996,
class C.
Install the pipes so that air pockets are avoided,
especially on the inlet side of the pump. See fig. 1.
3.2.1 Pipe connection (non-self-priming pumps)
Take care not to damage the pump when
connecting the inlet and outlet pipes.
Torque: 50-60 Nm. The stated torque must
not be exceeded.

3.3 Avoiding condensation in the motor
1
If the liquid temperature falls below the ambient
temperature, condensation may form in the motor
during standstill. Condensation can occur in moist
surroundings or areas with high humidity.
In such cases, use a motor suitable for condensing
environments such as an IPX5 motor available from
Grundfos.
Alternatively, open the bottom drain hole in the motor
flange by removing the plug. See fig. 3. This reduces
the motor enclosure class to IPX5.
Fig. 3Motor drain plug
Pos. Description
1Motor drain plug
The open drain hole helps prevent condensation in
the motor as it makes the motor self-venting and
allows water and humid air to escape.
3.4 Electrical connection
Carry out the electrical connection according to local
regulations.
Check that the supply voltage and frequency
correspond to the values stated on the nameplate.
DANGER
Electric shock
Death or serious personal injury
- Before starting any work on the product,
make sure that the power supply has
been switched off and that it cannot be
accidentally switched on.
- The pump must be connected to an
external all-pole main switch according
to local regulations.
- The product must be earthed and
protected against indirect contact in
accordance with local regulations.
- Wires connected to supply terminals,
must be separated from each other and
from the supply by reinforced insulation.
3.4.1 Power supply cable
In order to comply with the EN 60335-1 standard, the
power supply cable must as a minimum be rated for
TM06 9767 3317
an operating temperature of 105 °C (221 °F).
3.4.2 Motor protection
Single-phase motors, 1 x 115/230 V, 60 Hz
These motors do not incorporate motor protection
and must be connected to a motor-protective circuit
breaker which can be manually reset.
Set the motor-protective circuit breaker to maximum
1.15 x I
Other single-phase motors
These motors have built-in current- and
temperature-dependent motor protection in
accordance with IEC 60034-11 and require no further
motor protection. The motor protection is of the TP
211 type which reacts to both slow- and quick-rising
temperatures. The motor protection is automatically
reset.
Three-phase motors up to 3 kW
These motors must be connected to a
motor-protective circuit breaker which can be
manually reset.
Set the motor-protective circuit breaker to maximum
1.15 times full-load current.

3.4.3 Connection of wires in the terminal box
Filling plug
Drain plug
English (GB)
Carry out the electrical connection as shown in the
diagram inside the terminal box cover.
Fig. 4Wiring diagram
3.4.4 Frequency converter operation
You can connect three-phase motors to a frequency
converter.
Depending on the frequency converter type, this may
cause increased acoustic noise from the motor.
Furthermore, it may cause the motor to be exposed
to detrimental voltage peaks.
MG 71- and MG 80-based motors have no
phase insulation* and must therefore be
protected against voltage peaks higher
than 650 V (peak value) between the
supply terminals.
* MG 71- and MG 80-based motors with phase
insulation are available on request.
The above disturbances, i.e. both increased acoustic
noise and detrimental voltage peaks, can be
eliminated by fitting an LC filter between the
frequency converter and the motor.
For further information, please contact the frequency
converter supplier or Grundfos.
4.1.1 Liquid filling
CAUTION
Hot or cold liquid
Minor or moderate personal injury
- Wear personal protective equipment.
- Pay attention to the direction of the vent
hole when you fill the pump with liquid
and vent it.
- Make sure that no persons are hurt by
the escaping liquid.

ensures venting and pressure buildup during
startup.
The outlet isolating valve must be opened
immediately after startup of the pump.
Otherwise, the temperature of the pumped
liquid may become too high and cause
damage to the equipment.
4. Starting up the product
If there is a risk of condensation in the
motor, remove the motor drain plug before
startup and keep the drain hole open
during operation. See fig. 3.
4.1 Non-self-priming pumps
Do not start the pump until it has been
filled with liquid.

4.2 Checking the direction of rotation
Indicator field
The description below applies to three-phase motors
only.
The motor fan cover has an installation indicator.
See fig. 6. Based on the motor cooling air, it
indicates the direction of rotation of the motor.
Before you start the motor for the first time or if the
position of the installation indicator has been
changed, check that the installation indicator is
working properly for instance by moving the indicator
field with a finger.
To determine whether the direction of rotation is
correct or wrong, compare the indication with the
table below.
Indicator fieldDirection of rotation
BlackCorrect
White/reflectingWrong*
* To reverse the direction of rotation, switch off the
power supply and interchange any two of the
incoming supply wires.
Fig. 6Installation indicator
You can place the indicator in various positions on
the motor, but do not place it between the cooling
fins close to the screws that hold the fan cover.
The correct direction of rotation is also shown by
arrows on the motor fan cover.
