User Manual

• Hazardous locations (such as explosive, or corrosive atmos-
pheres).
• Location where the air temperature is very high or there is poor
ventilation.
• Outdoor installations where there is no protection against rain or
freezing temperatures.
DANGER:
Do not use this pump to handle flammable and/or explosive
liquids.
NOTICE:
• Do not use this pump to handle liquids containing abrasive, solid,
or fibrous substances.
• Do not use the pump for flow rates beyond the specified flow
rates on the data plate.
Special applications
Contact the local sales and service representative in the following cas-
es:
• If the density and/or viscosity value of the pumped liquid exceeds
the value of water, such as water with glycol; as it may require a
more powerful motor.
• If the pumped liquid is chemically treated (for example softened,
deionized, demineralized etc.).
• Any situation that is different from the ones that is described and
relate to the nature of the liquid.
3.2 Pump description
See Figure 9 for an explanation of the description code for the pump
and one example.
3.3 Nameplate
The nameplate is a metal label that is located on the bearing bracket.
The name plate lists key product specifications. For more information,
see Figure 10 and Figure 11 .
The nameplate provides information regarding the impeller and casing
material, the mechanical seal and their materials. For more informa-
tion, see Figure 12 .
IMQ or TUV or IRAM or other marks (for electric pump only)
Unless otherwise specified, for products with a mark of electrical-relat-
ed safety approval, the approval refers exclusively to the electrical
pump.
