2 1. DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
wBe sure pump capacity is correct.Should too large a pump be selected, the following troubles can occur:
1) The pump will be costly to operate.
2) Operation will not be economical because the pump is inefficient.
3) Excess water will be discharged, resulting in motor over load.
4) The pump may take in foreign matter.
5) Pump wear will be excessive.
Accurately calculated piping loss plus additional 10% total head will assure correct pump operation.
eInstall pump in a location facilitating maintenance.1) When a building is constructed after pump installation, allow sufficient space for removal of pump.
2) A manhole should be located above pump.
3) Attach a mounting/demounting device to pump. (See Page 7.)
z-2 INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONSIt is recommended the following be checked immediately after the pump is received:
1) Model, head, capacity, speed, output, voltage, frequency, etc. on the nameplate are as ordered.
2) Possible damage incurred during shipment. Possible loose bolts and nuts.
3) All accessories are included.
Should there be any discrepencies, contact the dealer immediately.

71. DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
tSubmersible pump mounting/demounting device (QDC:Quick Discharge Connector)Maintenance of a submersible pump for sewage and miscelleneous drainage is difficult due to the
location and the liquid it handles. Use of the following equipment facilitates pump installation, piping,
maintenance and inspection. It is recommended these that either equipment be considered when
planning installation.
(1) Installation
1) Mounting/demounting device
(a) Installation
1. After completing the foundation, install the device and secure with anchor bolts.
At the same time arrange the discharge piping.
Improper piping may cause tilt and impair mounting/demounting function.
(It will be more convenient if the foundation area of the device is slightly higher than the bottom
of the tank.)
2. Insert the guide (steel) pipe into the guide pin of the device and install a support plate for
vertical alignment.
3. Insert gasket between pump and flange, and fasten with bolts and washers provided.

z-4 MOTOR PROTECTORqMCB (Molded case Circuit Breaker)
The characteristics of MCB rating are accordance with general-purpose motors, this device cannot be
used to protect submersible motors. The use of thermal relays to the 3E relays of the motor itself is
recommended.
wThermal relaya. Setting

b. Normal condition
Return lever does not project.
c. Abnormal condition
Return lever projects.
d. Return method
Depress the return lever in the direction of the arrow after having checked for, and repaired, possible
defects.
z-5 CONNECTION OF SUBMERSIBLE CABLESAs a rule, submersible cables should not be connected under water since poor connections will cause
unexpected accidents due to submerged cores. If cable length is specified when ordering a pump, the
manufacturer will include the connected and extended cable. (Model BHS)
Cut the cable proper length for connection to the switch board. If the cable is connected while wound on
the drum, the insulation may break down due to heat.
132. TEST RUNNING

14 2. TEST RUNNING
x-2 MEASURING WATER LEVEL IN WATER TANKqDeep well water-level measurement
Bare the tip of the two-core covered wire and lower into the well; upon contact with water it will become
conductive. Check for conduction with a multi-meter. Water level is determined by measuring length of
the wire from the ground to water surface.
wExercize care when measuring water levelWater level should be measured while operating the pump as well as when it is stopped. In particular,
water level during operation has a direct influence on pumping action. Be sure to take this measurement.
x-3 VERIFYING ROTATION DIRECTION
qWith pressure gauge1) Open the valve on pump discharge side slightly (one or two full turns) and operate pump.
Pressure gauge reading is denoted as P1.
2) Operate pump with motor wiring changed as shown in the following figure (leave the valve open).
Here, pressure gauge reading is denoted as P2.
3) Compare P1 with P2.
The reading showing the higher value indicates correct rotation.
wWithout pressure gauge1) Fully open discharge valve, operate pump and check quantity of water.
2) Change rotation direction as shown in the above figure, operate pump again and check quantity of
water.
3) The largest quantity of water indicates correct rotation.
Connection between Power Source and Motor Cables (three-phase)

Fig. 2-3
152. TEST RUNNING
x-4 MEASURING TOTAL HEADTotal head of pump in operation is calculated as follows:
Total head=Reading of pressure gauge + Hs
Hs: Vertical distance (m) from gauge to operating water level.
x-5 VIBRATION AND NOISEqNoise during operation
1) Any abnormal noise emanating from the interior of the water tank may be caused by reversed rotation,
presence of foreign matter, strainer clogging, etc. Hoist pump and inspect. If noise develops after a
substantial period of use, the cause may be wear.
2) Surface noise may stem from resonance of piping or foundation. Use of flexible joints in piping or the
placing of a rubber mat under manhole will prevent this type of noise.
wNoise when stoppedIn most cases this type of noise is caused by water-hammer. As a countermeasure, it is recommended
the check valve on the discharge side be replaced with an fast closing check valve.
x-6 QUANTITY OF WATERIt is difficult to measure the quantity of water discharged from the pump at the worksite. It can be estimated,
however, on the basis of the measured value of the pump head and the characteristics curve of the pump.
Fig. 2-4
16 2. TEST RUNNING
x-7 MOTOR PROTECTOR CHECKMake sure the capacity of the motor protector and check it appropriate for the motor used.
Be sure the voltage, phase and frequency are correct by checking the name plate. Avoid trial operation
using a temporary power source. Temporary sources often have unstable voltage or lack protection,
leading to accidents.
x-8 VERIFYING MOTOR INSULATION AND CONDUCTOR RESISTANCEqTesting insulation resistance
Measuring instrument: Resistance tester (500V cap.)
Measured values: As shown in the following figure...Standard judgement.
wCautions(1) To measure motor insulation resistance, disconnect motor lead from the control panel and take
measurement using the end of the power cable.
(2) Consideration of measured values.
1) When, despite proper insulation resistance, the motor fails to start, conductor resistance must be
measured, because either the coil is defective or the power cable is broken.
2) Since insulation resistance value varies, according to conditions, a sudden drop indicates potential
trouble.
It is therefore necessary to implement appropriate countermeasures, such as reducing the load
after the occurrence of this phenomenon.
When using a volute pump, for example, the valve on the discharge side should be slightly closed.
Fig. 2-5
172. TEST RUNNING
* Example
Pump 1 Pump 2
Oct.1 5MΩ 10MΩNov.1 5MΩ 5MΩ
Measurement on Nov. 1 showed the values of both models were 5MΩ.
The value of Pump 1 remained unchanged, while that of Pump 2 changed from
10MΩ to 5MΩ.
This is an indication of trouble and appropriate action should be taken.
eMeasuring conductor resistanceEquipment: Multi-meter
Method: Stop the motor, disconnect motor lead from the control panel, set tester range to Ω, and
measure the resistance between U-V, V-W and W-U using the end of the motor cable. All
values should be approximately the same.
¡Since motor coil resistance varies according to output and usually indicates several Ω values, it isdifficult to make precise measurements with a multi-tester. Thus measured values merely determine
motor condition.
* Based on measurements, decisions can be made as follows:
For break of motor coil
When the coil is broken between U and V, resistance between U and V
becomes twice the value of the other two phases.
Example: UV=4ΩVW=2ΩUW=2Ω
When the two phases of the coil are broken (between U-V and V-W),
resistance value between U-V and V-W becomes ∞Ω. Resistance
value between U-W may have several Ω values.
Fig. 2-6
Fig. 2-7
18 2. TEST RUNNING
x-9 TESTING VOLTAGEqMeasurement at R.S.T. terminals
This measurement determines if there are abnormalities in the power source of the primary side from the
control panel. When measuring R-S, S-T and R-T with a voltage tester, each value should be within
±10% of the regulated voltage. However, when the measured voltage is unbalanced (more than 3%),
current may become excessive.
If voltage decreases during operation, it is probable that the cable is either too small or the power being
received is insufficient.
Inspection is recommended by a competent electrician.
wVoltage measurement at U.V.W. terminalsWhen there are no voltage abnormalities at R.S.T. terminals, the voltage should be checked at U.V.W.
terminals with the control panel activated.
Ensure measured voltage is within ±10% of normal voltage and that the balance between each phase is
properly maintained.
193. MAINTENANCE
c-1 DAILY INSPECTIONCheck for pump head, voltage current, possible vibration and noise. Should abnormalities be detected, it
is important corrective action be undertaken promptly in accordance with the procedure described in the
instruction manual.
It is recommended that an operation log be kept.
c-2 PERIODIC INSPECTIONqMonthly
Measurement of motor and cable insulation resistance.
wAnnualOil change.
Turbin oil #90 is sealed in the mechanical boxes of Models DS, DN,
DL, and DV. If the pump is hoisted to the ground and the oil
changed once a year, the life of the mechanical seal well be greatly
prolonged.
(For oil change, follow the instruction manual provided with each
model.)
eOverhaulIf the pump is overhauled once every three to five years, it can be
used without worry for a long period of time.
c-3 CAUTIONS DURING NON-OPERATIONqNon-operation for prolonged periods while underwater:
Operate the pump once a month to prevent moving parts from
rusting. Take periodical measurements of motor insulation
resistance.
To resume operation, follow procedure described in Paragraph 3,
"Test Running".
wStorage of pump above ground:Clean the pump strainer, and store in a dry place. To resume
operation, follow procedure described Paragraph 3, "Test Running".
Since a submerged type motor is used for Models BHS and BMS, a
check for sufficient water must be made before reinstalling the
pump. If insufficient, fresh water should be supplied.
To confirm water quantity and supply of fresh water, refer to the
instruction manuals supplied with each model.
