wc_tx000820gb.fm 8

PSG2 500 Operation

Preparing for installation

Before installing the pump at a work site, you will need to have the
following tools and instruments ready:

• Insulation resistance tester (megohmmeter)

• AC voltmeter

• AC ammeter (clamp-on type)

• Bolt and nut tighteners

• Power supply connection tools (screwdriver or box wrench)

Note: Please also read the instructions that come with each of the test
instruments.

Checks to make before installation

• When a grounded plug is used:

Use the megohmmeter to measure the insulation resistance between
the cable assembly prongs and ground.

• When connection leads are used:

WARNING

CAUTION

With the megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance between
each core lead and the ground lead.

Reference insulation resistance: 20MW or greater

Note: The reference insulation resistance (20MW or greater) is the
value when the pump is new or has been repaired. For the reference
value after installation, see “Maintenance and Inspection.”

Precautions During Installation

Do not under any circumstances install or move the pump by
suspending it from the cable assembly. The cable may be damaged,
causing electrical leakage, shock, or fire.

When installing the pump, pay close attention to its center of gravity
and weight. If it is not lowered into place correctly, it may fall and be
damaged or cause injury.

When transporting the pump by hand, be sure to employ manpower
commensurate with the weight of the pump. To avoid back injury when
lifting the pump, bend the knees to pick it up rather than bending your
back only.

2.3.1 Avoid dropping the pump or other strong impact. Lift the pump by
holding it firmly with the hands or by attaching a rope or chain to the
handle.

Note: On cable assembly handling, see Electrical Wiring.

2.3.2 Install the pump in a location with sufficient water level, where water
collects readily.

wc_tx000820gb.fm 9

Operation PSG2 500

Note: See “Operating water level” for the water level necessary for

operation. The discharge end of the hose should be located higher
than the water surface. If the end of the hose is submerged, water may
flow back to the pump when the pump is stopped; and if the hose end
is lower than the water surface, water may overflow when the pump is
turned off.

2.3.3 The hose should be run as straight as possible, since excessive
bending will hinder the water flow, preventing sufficient lift, and can
even cause the hose to become clogged with earth. If the hose is
crimped near the pump, air can become trapped in the pump and
cause idle running.

If large quantities of earth are sucked up, damage resulting from
friction in the pump can lead to electrical leakage and shock.

CAUTION

2.3.4 Use the pump in the upright position. If there is a risk of the pump
drawing in debris or sediment, operate the pump inside a basket or by
enclosing it in a net.

2.3.5 If used in a permanent installation, where the pump is not readily
accessible after installation, please contact Wacker for a duplicate
nameplate to be installed at the wellhead or on the control box so that
it will be readily visible.

2.4 Electrical Wiring

Performing electrical wiring

Electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified person in accord
with all applicable regulations. Failure to observe this precaution not

WARNING

only risks breaking the law but is extremely dangerous.

Incorrect wiring can lead to current leakage, electrical shock or fire.

ALWAYS make sure the pump is equipped with the specified overload
protectors and fuses or breakers, so as to prevent electrical shock from
a current leak or pump malfunction.

Operate within the capacity of the power supply and wiring.

Grounding

DO NOT use the pump without first grounding it properly. Failure to
ground it can lead to electrical shock from a current leak or pump

Cable Assembly

If it is necessary to extend the cable assembly, use a core size equal
to or larger than the original. This is necessary not only to avoid a

CAUTION

performance drop, but to prevent cable overheating which can result in
fire, electrical leakage or electrical shock.

If a cable with cut insulation or other damage is submerged in the
water, there is a danger of damage to the pump, electrical leakage,
electrical shock, or fire.

Be careful not to let the cable assembly be cut or become twisted. This
may result in damage to the pump, electrical leakage, electrical shock,
or fire.

If it is necessary to submerge the connection wires of the cable
assembly in water, first seal the wires completely in a molded
protective sleeve, to prevent electrical leakage, electrical shock, or fire.

DO NOT allow the cable assembly wires or power supply plug to
become wet.

Make sure the cable does not become excessively bent or twisted, and
does not rub against a structure in a way that might damage it.

If used in a deep-well installation, the cable assembly should be
secured every twenty feet.
