GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

This manual is intended to provide basic
installation and start-up guidance. It is to be read
and thoroughly studied prior to attempting to
install or operate any of the equipment supplied.

Equipment damage, which occurs by not
following these instructions, will void the
warranty.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

Only trained qualified personnel shall be utilized
for installation and start-up.

The following is a general list of safety
precautions that should be followed when
installation starting-up or servicing the pump.

The pump station owner or operator is
ultimately responsible for ensuring that all
equipment is installed, started up and
operated in a safe manner.

1. Do not work alone.

2. Double check to make sure that all lifting
equipment is in good working order and that it
has adequate lifting capacity for the weight that it
will handle.

3. Wear safety helmet, goggles and protective
shoes, or appropriate safety materials required.

4. Before working on the pump make sure that
the power is disconnected and cannot be
energized by others. Lockout and tag the control
panel circuit breaker.

5. Do not stand under suspended loads!

6. Never enter or work within a wet well without
first checking to make sure sufficient oxygen is
present and that there are no explosive or
poisonous gases present.

7. All personnel, who work with sewage pumping
equipment and systems shall be vaccinated
against diseases that can occur, If there are any
questions or doubts in this area it is strongly
suggested that the local health agency be
contacted.

EQUIPMENT INVENTORY AND
INSPECTION:

Upon arrival of pump shipment carefully unpack
all components and compare with shipping and
purchase order documents to ensure that the
order is complete. Also inspect equipment for
any damage that might have occurred in
shipment. If any problems are detected contact

an authorized Homa Pump Technology
Representative immediately.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE:

Always lift the pump by its lifting bail or eye.
Never lift the pump by its power cable!
The power cable ends must be protected from
immersion in water as well as moisture intrusion.
The cable will wick if it is not protected properly.
Power cable leads shall be covered with shrink
tubing.

Short-term storage is defined as any time less
than six months. We recommend for this time
intended to store the pump in its original
shipping container in a dry, temperature
controlled area. If climate controlled storage is
not possible, all exposed parts should be
inspected before storage and all surfaces that
have the paint scratched, damaged or worn
should be re-coated with air dry enamel paint.
Any storage time exceeding six months is
considered long term. In addition to the
safeguards specified above, the impeller should
be rotated once a month to prevent the
mechanical seals from being damaged, and the
pump should be inspected. The oil in the
mechanical seal chamber should be drained and
replaced.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION:

GENERAL GUIDELINES

All electrical work shall be carried out under the
supervision of an authorized, licensed
electrician. The present state adopted edition

of the National Electrical Code as well as all
local codes and regulations shall be
complied with.

VERIFICATION OF POWER SUPPLY

Prior to making any electrical connections or
applying power to the pump, compare the power
supply available at the pump station to the data
on the unit's nameplate. Confirm that both

voltage and phase match between pump and
control panel. The voltage supplied at the pump

shall be plus or minus 10% of the nameplate
value, frequency shall be plus or minus 5% of
the nameplate value, the voltage phase balance
shall be plus or minus 1% and the maximum
corrected power factor shall be 1.0.

POWER LEAD WIRING

The ends of the cable leads are marked. Please
refer to wiring diagram in the appendix for
connection details. The pump must be

connected electrically through a motor starter
with proper circuit breaker protection in order to
validate warranty. Do not splice cables.

THERMAL SWITCH WIRING:

Pumps are equipped with thermal switches
embedded in the stator windings. They are
normally closed, designed to open under a high
temperature condition and close when the
temperature drops below the set point. THEY

MUST BE WIRED TO A CURRENT
REGULATED CONTROL CIRCUIT.

Identify leads marked T1 and T3 and connect
these wires to the thermal overload relay located
in the control panel. Thermal switch leads must

be connected to validate warranty.

SEAL PROBE WIRING (OPTIONAL)

The probe utilized in the pump is a conductive
sensor and is normally open. Only one lead is
required to be connected to the seal fail relay
located in the control panel. Probe is grounded
to pump.

CAPACITORS AND RELAYS:

All single phase motors require start and/or run
capacitors to operate. Refer to the wiring
schematics in the appendix. Capacitors and
relays must be sized for the specific motor.
Please refer to nameplate for verification of
capacitor sizing.
