Installation types
The SL1 and SLV pumps are designed for two installation types:
• submerged installation on auto-coupling
• free-standing submerged installation on ring stand.
7.1 Submerged installation on auto-coupling
TM04 2650 2808
Fig. 4 Submerged installation on auto coupling
Pumps for permanent installation can be installed on a stationary
auto-coupling guide rail system. The auto-coupling system
facilitates maintenance and service as the pump can easily be
lifted out of the tank.
Warning
Before beginning installation procedures, make sure
that the atmosphere in the tank is not potentially
explosive.
Make sure that the pipework is installed without the
use of undue force. No loads from the pipework
weight must be carried by the pump. We recommend
the use of loose flanges to ease the installation and
to avoid pipe tension at flanges and bolts.
Do not use elastic elements or bellows in the
pipework; these elements should never be used as a
means to align the pipework.
Proceed as follows:
1. Drill mounting holes for the guide rail bracket on the inside of
the tank and fasten the guide rail bracket provisionally with
two screws.
2. Place the auto-coupling base unit on the bottom of the tank.
Use a plumb line to establish the correct positioning.
Fasten the auto-coupling with expansion bolts. If the bottom of
the tank is uneven, the auto-coupling base unit must be
supported so that it is level when being fastened.
3. Assemble the discharge pipe in accordance with the generally
accepted procedures and without exposing the pipe to
distortion or tension.
4. Place the guide rails on the auto-coupling base unit and adjust
the length of the rails accurately to the guide rail bracket at
the top of the tank.
5. Unscrew the provisionally fastened guide rail bracket.
Insert the upper guide rail bracket into the guide rails.
Fasten the guide rail bracket on the inside of the tank.
The guide rails must not have any axial play as this
would cause noise during pump operation.
6. Clean out debris from the tank before lowering the pump into
the tank.
7. Fit the guide claw to the discharge port of the pump.

Fig. 5 Free-standing submerged installation on a ring stand
Pumps for free-standing submerged installation can stand freely
on the bottom of the tank. The pump must be installed on a ring
stand. See fig. 5.
The ring stand is available as an accessory.
In order to facilitate service on the pump, fit a flexible union or
coupling to the elbow on the discharge port for easy separation.
If a hose is used, make sure that the hose does not buckle and
that the inside diameter of the hose matches that of the pump
discharge port.
If a rigid pipe is used, fit the union or coupling, non-return valve
and isolating valve in the order mentioned, when viewed from the
pump.
If the pump is installed in muddy conditions or on uneven ground,
support the pump on bricks or a similar support.
Proceed as follows:
1. Fit a 90 ° elbow to the pump discharge port and connect the
discharge pipe/hose.
2. Lower the pump into the liquid by means of a chain secured to
the lifting bracket of the pump. We recommend to place the
pump on a plane, solid foundation. Make sure that the pump is
hanging from the chain and not the cable. Make sure that the
pump is standing securely.
3. Hang up the end of the chain on a suitable hook at the top of
the tank and in such a way that the chain cannot come into
contact with the pump housing.
4. Adjust the length of the motor cable by coiling it up on a relief
fitting to ensure that the cable is not damaged during
operation. Fasten the relief fitting to a suitable hook at the top
of the tank. Make sure that the cable is not sharply bent or
pinched.
5. Connect the motor cable.
The free end of the cable must not be submerged, as
water may penetrate into the cable.
The gasket must be a full face, reinforced paper
gasket like Klingersil C4300. If softer gasket material
is used, torques must be reconsidered.

, e.g. type H07 V2-K (PVT 90 °) yellow/
All pumps are supplied with 10 m cable and a free cable end,
except for pumps for Australia which have 15 m cable.
Pumps without sensor must be connected to one of these three
controller types:
• a control box with motor-protective circuit breaker, such as a
Grundfos CU 100
• a Grundfos LC, LCD 107, LC, LCD 108 or LC, LCD 110 pump
controller
• a Grundfos DC, DCD pump controller.
Pumps with sensor must be connected to a Grundfos IO 113
and one of these three controller types:
• a control box with motor-protective circuit breaker, such as a
Grundfos CU 100
• a Grundfos LC, LCD 107, LC, LCD 108 or LC, LCD 110 pump
controller
• a Grundfos DC and DCD pump controller.
Warning
Before installation and the first startup of the pump,
check the condition of the cable visually to avoid
short circuits.
Pumps with WIO sensor
For safe installation and operation of pumps equipped with a
WIO sensor, we recommend to install an RC filter between the
power contactor and the pump.
If an RC filter is installed to avoid any kind of
transients in the installation, the RC filter must be
installed between the power contactor and the pump.
Please note that the following aspects may cause problems in
case of transients in the power supply system:
• Motor power:
– The bigger the motor, the higher the transients.
• Length of motor cable:
– Where power and signal conductors are running in parallel
close to each other, the risk of transients causing
interference between power and signal conductors will
increase with the length of the cable.
• Switchboard layout:
– Power and signal conductors must be physically separated
as much as possible. Close installation can cause
interference in case of transients.
• Supply network "stiffness":
– If a transformer station is located close to the installation,
the supply network may be "stiff" and transient levels will be
higher.
If combinations of the above aspects are present, it may be
necessary to install RC filters for pumps with WIO sensors to
protect against transients.
Transients can be completely eliminated if soft starters are used.
But be aware that soft starters and variable speed drives have
other EMC-related issues that must be taken into consideration.
For more information, see section 8.7 Frequency converter
operation
Warning
If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons.
Set the motor-protective circuit breaker to the rated
current of the pump. The rated current is stated on
the pump nameplate.
If the pump has an Ex mark on the nameplate, make
sure that the pump is connected in accordance with
the instructions given in this booklet.
The mains supply voltage and frequency are marked on the pump
nameplate. The voltage tolerance must be within - 10 %/+ 10 % of
the rated voltage. Make sure that the motor is suitable for the
power supply available at the installation site.

www.grundfos.com.
8.3 Thermal switch, Pt1000 and PTC thermistor
All SL1 and SLV pumps have thermal protection incorporated in
the stator windings.
Pumps without sensor
Pumps without sensor have a thermal switch or a PTC thermistor.
Via the pump controller safety circuit, the thermal switch will stop
the pump by breaking the circuit in case of overtemperature
(approx. 150 °C). The thermal switch will reclose the circuit after
cooling. For pumps equipped with a PTC thermistor, connect the
thermistor to either the PTC relay or the I/O module to break the
circuit at 150 °C.
The maximum operating current of the thermal switch is 0.5 A at
500 VAC and cos φ 0.6. The switch must be able to break a coil in
the supply circuit.
Pumps with WIO sensor
Pumps with WIO sensor have either a thermal switch and a
Pt1000 sensor or a PTC thermistor in the windings, depending on
the installation site.
Via the pump controller safety circuit, the thermal switch or the
thermistor will stop the pump by breaking the circuit in case of
overtemperature (approx. 150 °C). The thermal switch or the
thermistor will reclose the circuit after cooling.
The maximum operating current of both the Pt1000 and the
thermistor is 1 mA at 24 VDC.
Non-explosion-proof pumps
When closing the circuit after cooling, the thermal protection can
restart the pump automatically via the controller. Pumps from
4 kW and up sold in Australia/New Zealand are fitted with a PTC
thermistor.
Explosion-proof pumps
Warning
The thermal protection of explosion-proof pumps
must not restart the pump automatically.
This ensures protection against overtemperature in
potentially explosive environments. In pumps with
sensor this is done by removing the short circuit
between terminals R1 and R2 in the IO 113. See
Electrical data in the IO 113 installation and
operating instructions.
Warning
The separate motor-protective circuit breaker/
controller must not be installed in potentially
explosive environments.
8.4 WIO sensor (water-in-oil sensor)
The WIO sensor measures the water content in the oil and
converts the value into an analogue current signal. The two
sensor conductors are for power supply and for carrying the
signal to the IO 113. The sensor measures the water content from
0 to 20 %. It also sends a signal if the water content is outside the
normal range (warning), or if there is air in the oil chamber
(alarm). The sensor is fitted in a stainless-steel tube for
mechanical protection.
Fig. 10 WIO sensor
8.4.1 Fitting the WIO sensor
Fit the sensor next to one of the shaft seal openings. See fig. 10.
The sensor must be tilted into the motor's direction of rotation to
ensure that oil is led into the sensor. Make sure that the sensor is
submerged in the oil.
8.4.2 Technical data
Input voltage:12-24 VDC
Output current:3.4 - 22 mA
Power input:0.6 W
Ambient temperature:0-70 °C
See also the installation and operating instructions for IO 113 on
www.grundfos.com.
8.5 Moisture switch
All pumps are fitted with a moisture switch as standard with the
moisture switch being connected via the supply cable, see
section 8. Electrical connection, and connected to a separate
circuit breaker.
The moisture switch is positioned in the bottom of the motor.
If there is moisture in the motor, the switch will break the circuit
and send a signal to the IO 113.
The moisture switch is non-reversing and must be replaced after
use.
The moisture switch is connected to the monitoring cable, and it
must be connected to the safety circuit of the separate pump
controller. See section 8. Electrical connection.
The motor-protective circuit breaker of the pump
controller must include a circuit which automatically
disconnects the power supply in case the protective
circuit for the pump is opened.

8.6 IO 113
IO 113 provides an interface between a Grundfos wastewater
pump equipped with sensors and the pump controller(s).
The most important sensor status information is indicated on the
front panel.
One pump can be connected to one IO 113 module.
Together with the sensors, the IO 113 provides a galvanic
isolation between the motor voltage in the pump and the
connected controller(s).
IO 113 can do the following as standard:
• Protect the pump against overheating.
• Monitor the status of these items:
– motor winding temperature
– leakage (WIO)
– moisture in pump.
• Measure the stator insulation resistance.
• Stop the pump in case of alarm.
• Remotely monitor the pump via RS-485 communication
(Modbus or GENIbus).
• Control the pump via a frequency converter.
Warning
IO 113 must not be used for purposes other than
those specified above.

8.7 Frequency converter operation
All SL1/SLV pump types are designed for frequency converter
operation to keep the energy consumption at a minimum.
To avoid the risk of sedimentation in the pipes, we recommend
that you operate the speed-controlled pump at a flow rate above
1 m/s.
For frequency converter operation, please observe the following
information:
• Requirements must be fulfilled. See section
8.7.1 Requirements.
• Recommendations ought to be fulfilled. See section
8.7.2 Recommendations.
• Consequences should be considered. See section
8.7.3 Consequences.
8.7.1 Requirements
• The thermal protection of the motor must be connected.
• Minimum switching frequency: 2.5 kHz.
• Peak voltage and dU/dt must be in accordance with the table
below. The values stated are maximum values supplied to the
motor terminals. The cable influence has not been taken into
account. See the frequency converter data sheet regarding the
actual values and the cable influence on the peak voltage and
dU/dt.

voltage
[V]
8502000
• If the pump is an Ex-approved pump, check if the Ex certificate
of the specific pump allows the use of a frequency converter.
• Set the frequency converter U/f ratio according to the motor
data.
• Local regulations/standards must be fulfilled.
8.7.2 Recommendations
Before installing a frequency converter, calculate the lowest
allowable frequency in the installation in order to avoid zero flow.
• Do not reduce the motor speed to less than 30 % of rated
speed.
• Keep the flow velocity above 1 m/sec.
• Let the pump run at rated speed at least once a day in order to
TM05 1881 3811
prevent sedimentation in the piping system.
• Do not exceed the frequency indicated on the nameplate.
In this case there is risk of motor overload.
• Keep the motor cable as short as possible. The peak voltage
will increase with the length of the motor cable. See data sheet
for the frequency converter used.
• Use input and output filters on the frequency converter.
See data sheet for the frequency converter used.
• Use screened motor cable if there is a risk that electrical noise
can disturb other electrical equipment. See data sheet for the
frequency converter used.
8.7.3 Consequences
When operating the pump via a frequency converter, please be
aware of these possible consequences:
• The locked-rotor torque will be lower. How much lower will
depend on the frequency converter type. See the installation
and operating instructions for the frequency converter used for
information on the locked-rotor torque available.
• The working condition of bearings and shaft seal may be
affected. The possible effect will depend on the application.
The actual effect cannot be predicted.
• The acoustic noise level may increase. See the installation
and operating instructions for the frequency converter used for
advice as to how to reduce the acoustic noise.

Warning
Before starting work on the pump, make sure that the
fuses have been removed or the mains switch has
been switched off. Make sure that the power supply
cannot be accidentally switched on.
Make sure that all protective equipment has been
connected correctly.
The pump must not run dry.
Warning
The pump must not be started if the atmosphere in
the tank is potentially explosive.
S3, intermittent operation:
Operating mode S3 means that within 10 minutes the pump must
be in operation for 4 minutes and stopped for 6 minutes.
See fig. 12.
In this operating mode, the pump is partly submerged in the
pumped liquid, i.e. the liquid level reaches at minimum the top of
the cable entry on the motor housing. See fig. 2.
English (GB)
Warning
It may lead to personal injuries or death to open the
clamp while the pump is operating.
9.1 General startup procedure
This procedure applies to new installations as well as after
service inspections if startup takes place some time after the
pump was placed in the tank.
1. Remove the fuses and check that the impeller can rotate
freely. Turn the impeller by hand.
Warning
The impeller can have sharp edges - wear protective
gloves.
2. Check the condition of the oil in the oil chamber. See also
section 10.1 Inspection.
3. Check that the system, bolts, gaskets, pipework and valves
etc. are in correct condition.
4. Mount the pump in the system.
5. Switch on the power supply.
6. Check whether the monitoring units, if used, are operating
satisfactorily.
7. For pumps with WIO sensor, switch on the IO 113 and check
that there are no alarms or warnings. See section 8.6 IO 113.
8. Check the setting of air bells, float switches or electrodes.
9. Check the direction of rotation. See section 9.3 Direction of
rotation.
10. Open the isolating valves, if fitted.
11. Check that the liquid level is above the motor for S1 operation
and above the cable entry for S3 operation. See fig. 14. If the
minimum level is not reached do not start the pump.
12. Start the pump and let the pump run briefly, and check if the
liquid level is falling.
13. Observe if the discharge pressure and input current are
normal. If not there might be air trapped inside the pump.

Fig. 12 S3, intermittent operation
S1, continuous operation:
In this operating mode, the pump can operate continuously
without being stopped for cooling. See fig. 13. Being completely
submerged, the pump is sufficiently cooled by the surrounding
liquid. See fig. 2.
Fig. 13 S1, continuous operation
Trapped air can be removed from the pump housing
by tilting the pump by means of the lifting chain when
the pump is in operation.
In case of abnormal noise or vibrations from the
pump, other pump failure or power supply failure or
water supply failure, stop the pump immediately. Do
not attempt to restart the pump until the cause of the
fault has been found and the fault corrected.
After one week of operation or after replacement of the shaft seal,
check the condition of the oil in the chamber. For pumps without
sensor, this is done by taking a sample of the oil. See section
10. Maintenance and service for procedure.
Every time the pump has been removed from the tank, go through
the above procedure when starting up again.
9.2 Operating modes
The pumps are designed for intermittent operation (S3).
When completely submerged, the pumps can also operate
continuously (S1).
Fig. 14 Start and stop levels
Make sure that the effective volume of the tank does not become
so low that the number of starts per hour exceeds the maximum
permissible number.
