Safety Precautions

General remarks

These safety and installation instructions contain important
information and precautionary notes and must be available to
those operating the pump. Please read them thoroughly prior to
installation, electrical connection and use of the pump. Operating
instructions for components of pumps must be followed.

These safety and installation instructions do not cover local
regulations. Installers and operators must also observe local
regulations during installation and operation.

Each pump must be labeled by the end user to warn of any hazards
that the system process may produce; e.g. corrosive chemicals
or hot process etc.

All personnel involved in the operation, maintenance, inspection

and installation of the pump must be fully qualied to perform

the work. The personnel’s responsibilities, competence, and

supervision must be clearly dened by the operator. To the extent

that if the personnel in question is not already in possession of
the requisite know how, appropriate training and instruction must
be provided. In addition, the operator is responsible for ensuring
that the contents of the operating instructions are fully understood
by all the responsible personnel.

When installing a Vector pump in conjunction with a motor, or motor
and frequency controller, the relevant manuals must be referred
to for electromagnetic compatibility.

All safety instructions in this manual and all relevant local health
and safety regulations must be followed.

Pay attention to the weight of the pump before attempting to lift
either manually or when selecting appropriate lift equipment.

1. Mechanical risk:

Ensure that all protections (cover, sight glass, ventilator hood,
coupling protection) are in place before operating the pump.

Disconnect the electrical supply before any mechanical work,

except during hose replacement.

Hose replacement must be done with the pump cover closed.

While replacing a hose, wear protective gloves and clothes.
Keep hands away from the brackets, suction and discharge

anges.

During pump maintenance, check that lifting points are cor­rectly used.

The frame of the pump must be rmly fastened to the ground.

2. Electrical risk:

Ensure that the electrical installation conforms to the local
standards required; especially regarding ground and thermal
protection.

3. Operational risk:

Check that the materials to be pumped are compatible with the
following:

• Peristaltic pump operation.

• Hose material.

• Lubricant.

• Inserts material.

• Shoe material.

Wanner cannot guaranty the hose lifetime or the material loss
due to a hose burst. It is the operator’s responsibility to prevent
pumped liquid loss with additional hose rupture detectors and
or automatic shut down valves. Check guarantee for further
information.

Ensure that the pump is compatible with the process.

Ensure that the pump suction side pressure is correct.

To avoid hose rupture, make sure that:

• The pump casing is not lled with the pumped material.

• That the suction line is not on load. Otherwise the material
may empty into the pump casing and leak out of the pump.

• That the discharge line is not under pressure. Otherwise the
pumped material may be forced back into the pump casing
and leak out of the pump.

A leakage detector as well as automatic shut down valves are
recommended in order to prevent hose rupture.

When draining the pump following a hose rupture, make sure
the lubricant and pumped material are disposed of properly.

Complete or partial blockage of the positive displacement
pump discharge line can lead to a dangerous high pressure
condition. Before operating the pump, make sure there is no
complete or partial hose blockage.

Before each use, check the direction of rotation of the pump.
While placing the pump under vacuum, mount window screw
using an airtight glue to avoid air leakage.

Vector 4000 Description

3 DESCRIPTION

3.1 Identication

Vector pumps are identied by the nameplate located on

the upper bracket. It includes the type and model number of
the pump. This model number indicates information regard­ing pump materials, type of the hose, characteristics of the

gearbox, and characteristics of the motor. The gearbox as well

as the motor have their own nameplates on which include the
reduction ratio, power, and electrical voltage.

3.2 Description of Pump Operation

PHASE 1

The pump hose is compressed successively by two pressing
shoes assembled on a rotating wheel. The rst shoe, by press­ing the walls of the hose, will create a vacuum and suck the
pumped liquid into the hose.

Wanner Engineering, Inc.

PHASE 2

The pumped liquid has now entered the hose. The second
shoe will compress the hose and push the liquid towards the
pump outlet.

PHASE 3

As soon as, at the discharge side, the shoe is detached from
the hose, the other shoe diametrically opposite is already in
compression thus avoiding an internal material leakage. The
material is then successively sucked and pushed due to the
wheel rotation.

4.1 INSPE C T I O N

The pump must be checked upon receipt for any possible
damage or incomplete shipment. Notify Wanner Engineering
of any discrepancies immediately.

Check all boxes or packages containing spare parts or

accessories packed with the pump.

4.2 INSTALLATION PLANNING

Location

1. Locate the pump near the liquid source, so that the suction line
is short and direct.

2. When practical, locate the pump above the level of the liquid; if
the hose fails, the pumpage drains back into the tank.

3. Allow space to remove the front cover, hose, and drive
unit. See Inlet Hose Length Chart (A).

4004 1.6 ft
4006 2.6 ft
4007 3.3 ft
4009 3.9 ft
4010 4.6 ft
4014 6.5 ft

Foundation

The foundation should be su󰀩ciently rigid and substantial to

absorb any vibration, and to permanently support the base plate
at all points. A concrete foundation, poured on a solid footing of
adequate thickness to support the pumping unit provides the
most satisfactory foundation.

The base plate should be installed in a level position. The size
and location of the base mounting holes are shown on the pump

specication sheets. Use the dimensions provided in the pump
specication data sheets for general piping.

Note: For a detailed description of proper procedures
for grouting base plates, refer to the Hydraulic Institute
Standards.

4.3 PIPING

Inlet piping:

1. Size the inlet line 1.5 or two sizes larger than the pump suction
opening.

2. Suction lines should be as short and direct as possible.

3. See Site Plumbing Figure below. Install 6 to 8 feet of

reinforced exible hose between pump and rigid piping to
absorb vibration, expansion and contraction, and to make

maintenance easier.

Note: The inlet hose must be capable of withstanding a

vacuum. This avoids hose collapse which will restrict

ow.

4. Install an inlet pressure/vacuum gauge on the inlet side of the
pump.

5. To reduce turbulence and resistance, do not use 90° elbows.
If turns are necessary in the suction line use 45° elbows or
long sweeping elbows when required.

6. Install piping supports where necessary to relieve strain on
the inlet line and to minimize vibration.

7. In some cases, a pulsation dampener may be required to
decrease acceleration head and pulsations. Mount dampener
within ten pipe diameters of the pump suction connection. The
closer the better.

Discharge piping:

1. See Site Plumbing Figure below. Install a length, B,

of reinforced flexible hose (one size larger than pump

connection) between pump and rigid piping. This will absorb

vibration, provide for expansion and contraction. It also

creates a reservoir and eases the replacement of the hose.

2. Size the rigid discharge line to be at least the size of the pump
inlet connection.

3. Install piping supports where necessary to relieve strain on
discharge piping and to minimize vibration.

4. Install a pressure gauge in the discharge piping.

5. In some cases, a pulsation dampener may be required
to decrease pulsations. Mount dampener within ten pipe
diameters of the pump discharge connection. The closer the
better.

6. Install a pressure relief valve to protect the pump and piping.

4.4 LIFTING THE PUMP

Pumps are provided with two lift rings tted on the upper part

of the frame. While lifting the pump, do the following:

1. Lift the complete hose pump using the lifting rings plus

additional support on the gearbox and the motor using

suitably rated straps or slings.

2. Never exceed a lift’s upper weight limit. Refer to the Pump

Weight table below to determine the size of lift required.

3. The motorized pump, given its centre of gravity, will tend
to overbalance on the pump head side. Make sure that
the persons are at a security distance of the pump to avoid
any risk of wound.

4. Never raise the pump otherwise than by the pump’s lifting
rings.

5. Never raise the pump by it’s orices nor by it’s brackets.
