For the operation of units as explosion-proof execution the following applies:
In hazardous areas care must be taken that during switching on and operation of the pumps the pump section
is filled with water (dry installation) or alternatively is submerged or under water (wet installation with cooling
jacket. Other types of operation e.g. snore operation or dry running are not allowed!
For the operation of explosion-proof submersible pumps in wet-well installation without cooling jacket
applies:
It must be ensured that the motor of the ex-submersible pump is always fully submerged during start-up and
operation!
For the operation of explosion-proof submersible pumps applies:
The temperature monitoring of the explosion-proof submersible pumps has to be carried out by bimetallic
temperature limiters or thermistors according to DIN 44 081-150 connected to a suitable release device which
is certified in accordance with EC directive 94/9/EC.
For the operation of explosion-proof submersible pumps with frequency inverter in hazardous areas
(ATEX Zone 1 and 2) applies:
Motors must have direct thermal protection devices fitted. These consist of temperature sensors (PTC DIN
44081 -150) embedded in the windings. These must be connected to a suitable release device which is certified
in accordance with EC directive 94/9/EC.
Machines designated as Ex machines may never, without exception, be operated using a mains frequency that
is greater than the maximum of 50 or 60 Hz as indicated on the nameplate.

2 Safety
The general and specific health and safety hints are described in detail in the separate booklet Safety Hints. If
anything is not clear or you have any questions as to safety make certain to contact the manufacturer Sulzer.
38 GB 2500-J
3 Transport and storage

Depending on model and mode of installation, the units are prepared at the factory for vertical or horizontal
transportation.
The units are equipped with a safety shackles (series for vertical setup) or swivel ring bolt (horizontal setup),
which allow fixing chains for transporting or for installing or removing. We recommend using chains from the
Sulzer list of accessories.
ATTENTION In the case of pumps set up vertically, sealing plugs are mounted for protecting
the thread holes instead of swivel ring bolt. These seals may only be replaced by a
swivel ring bolt for maintenance work but must be screwed on again before startup!

0838-0004
Figure 4 Transport in a horizontal manner XFP Figure 5 Transport in a horizontal manner AFLX/VUPX
ATTENTION α max. ≤ 45°. The angle α between the centre line of the unit and the lifting tools
should not exceed 45°.
3.1 Transport securing devices

The motor connection cables are protected against the ingress of moisture along the cable by having the ends
sealed at the works with protective covers.
These protective covers should only be removed immediately prior to connecting the pumps electrically.
ATTENTION These protective covers only provide protection against water spray or similar and
are not a water tight seal. The ends of the cables should not be immersed in water,
otherwise moisture could enter the connection chamber of the motor.
NOTE If there is a possibility of water ingress then the cables should be secured so that the
ends are above the maximum possible flood level.
ATTENTION Take care not to damage the cable or its insulation when doing this!
In order to avoid damage to the pump shaft or the bearings during horizontal transport, the shaft is clamped in
an axial direction when leaving the works.
ATTENTION The motor shaft transport lock must be removed before startup!
3.2 Storage of the units
ATTENTION The Sulzer products must be protected from weather influences such as UV from
direct sunlight, high humidity, aggressive dust emissions, mechanical damage,
frost etc. The Sulzer original packaging with the relevant transport securing devices
GB 2500-J
39
(where used) ensures optimum protection of the unit. If the units are exposed to
temperatures under 0 °C/32 °F check that there is no water in the hydraulics, coo-
ling system, or other spaces. In the case of heavy frosts, the units and cable should
not be moved if possible. When storing under extreme conditions, e.g. in tropical or
desert conditions suitable additional protective steps should be taken. We would be
glad to advise you further
NOTE The Sulzer units normally require no maintenance during storage. During longer
storage times, (after approx. one year) the transport locks on the motor shaft (not all
versions) must be dismantled. Coolant is applied to the sealing surfaces by manually
turning the shaft several times (also for the purpose of cooling or lubricating so that
trouble-free function of the sliding ring seal is ensured. No maintenance is required
when storing the motor shaft.

4.2 DI-Electrode
The DI-electrodes carry out the seal monitoring function and signal the ingress of moisture into the motor by
means of a special electronic device. Connection see chapter 5.6
4.3 Temperature monitoring of the stator

Thermal limiters protect the stator from overheating in the case of asymmetric phase loading or voltage, conti-
nuous dry running or excessive temperatures in the medium itself. The stator is equipped with three bimetallic
thermal limiters (optional PTC, PT100) which are connected in series.
4.4 Temperature monitoring of the bearings (Option)

In the case of existing bearing monitoring, a bimetal temperature limiter is built into the bearing flanges of the
standard version. This enables premature switching off of the submersible motor (e.g., due to wear-related
increase in storage temperature).
Switching temperature: Upper bearing = 140 °C/284 °F Lower bearing = 130 °C/269 °F
4.5 Temperature densor indication

A continuous indication of the temperature in the stator and the bearings is not possible using bimetallic thermal
limiters or thermistors. For this application it is necessary to fit thermal sensors of the type PT 100 with linear
characteristics into the stator and bearing blocks. This type of resistor has a linear characteristic, i.e. the resi-
stance rise is proportional to the temperature rise.

The thermal monitoring circuit must be wired into the motor contactors in such a manner that a manual reset is
required.

4.6 Operation with frequency inverters

The stator design and the insulation grade of the motors from Sulzer means that they suitable for usage with
fre-quency inverters. It is however essential that the following conditions are met when the motors are used with
frequency inverters:
• The guidelines for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) are complied with.
• Explosion-proof motors must be equipped with thermistors (PTC temperature sensors) if operated in ha-
zardous areas (ATEX Zone 1 and 2).
• Machines designated as Ex machines may never, without exception, be operated using a mains frequency
that is greater than the maximum of 50 or 60 Hz as indicated on the type plate.
• Machines that are not designated as Ex machines may only be operated using the mains frequency indicated
on the type plate. Greater frequencies can be used but only after consulting with and receiving permission
from the Sulzer manufacturing plant.
• For operation of ex-motors on frequency inverters special requirements in relation to the tripping times of the
thermo control elements, must be observed.
• The lowest frequency must be set so that the minimum fluid velocity of 1 m/s is present in the volute.
• The maximum frequency must be set so the rated power of the motor is not exceeded.
Modern frequency inverters are using higher wave frequencies and a steeper rise on the flanks of the voltage
wave. This means that motors losses and motor noise is reduced. Unfortunately these inverter output signals
cause higher voltage spikes in the stator. Experience has shown that, depending on rated voltage and the
length of the cable between the inverter and the motor, these voltage spikes can adversely affect the life of the
motor. In order to avoid this, inverters of this type must equipped with sinus filters when used in the critical zone
(see fig 9). The sinus filter chosen must be suitable for the inverter with regard to rated voltage, inverter wave
frequency, rated current of the inverter and maximum inverter output frequency.

ATTENTION The power cables should be handled carefully during installation and removal of
the pumps in order to avoid damage to the insulation. When raising the submersible
pump out of the concrete sump or the steel discharge pipe with the hoist ensure that
the connection cables are lifted out simultaneously as the pump itself is being raised.
• Fit a hoist to the submersible sewage pump.
• The Sulzer submersible sewage pump is suspended on the guide tube by means of the pedestal bracket on
the pressure connection and carefully lowered vertically, or at a slight inclination (max. 3°). It couples automa-
tically at the pedestal and seals the pressure connection at the pedestal leak-tight by means of its own weight
and a seal.
Dry sump installation:
• Fit a hoist to the submersible pump.
GB 2500-J

ATTENTION The power cables should be handled carefully during installation and removal of the
pumps in order to avoid damage to the insulation.
• Fit a hoist to the submersible pump.
The coupling ring required for installation of the AFLX/VUPX submersible pump must already be installed as
shown in Figure 12 and 13. Before installation of the pump a suitable support (hook) for the chain, as well as an
opening and suspension (cable sock) for the cable must be provided in the sump or riser pipe.
Before or during the installation the motor connection cables should be fitted on site with suitable strain relief
(e.g. cable socks). Particular care should be taken that the cable insulation is not crushed or damaged by the
weight of the hanging cable especially in the area of the cable inlet.
ATTENTION When raising the submersible pump out of the concrete sump or the steel discharge
pipe with the hoist ensure that the connection cables are lifted out simultaneously as
the pump itself is being raised.
Lowering of the AFLX and VUPX submersible pump into the coupling ring
ATTENTION Before lowering the pump a direction of rotation check should be carried out.
• Draw the cable hose over the end of the connection cable.

ATTENTION The steel riser pipe, or concrete sump must be cleaned thoroughly (builder‘s rubble,
etc.). To optimise the inflow and to reduce the noise level it is important that one pair
of fins of the suction pipe are in line with the main flow direction of the inflow cham-
ber. This must be observed when fitting the pump into a sump or into a steel dischar-
ge pipe.
• Use lifting equipment to slowly lower the submersible mixed flow column/propeller pump into the shaft up to
the coupling ring; feed in the motor connecting cable at the same time. The submersible mixed flow column/
propeller pump centres itself automatically and leakage free in the coupling ring.
• Attach the lifting chain to the hook provided so that it cannot strike either the pump cable or the sump wall.
46 GB 2500-J
• Tension the pump cable and fasten to the hook provided with the aid of the cable sock. Where a steel pressu-
re pipe is used the connection cable should be brought through the connection cable inlet and sealed off in a
watertight manner.
c
The connection cable should only be tightened sufficiently so that no tension acts at the cable inlet in
the head of the pump. The connection cable should not strike the chain or the sump wall.
• If necessary, the steel riser pipe is sealed off in a watertight manner.

5.6 Connection of the seal monitoring unit to the control panel

The submersible pumps, depending on execution, are supplied as standard with one or more DI-probes for seal
monitoring. In order to integrate this seal monitoring function into the control panel of the pump it is necessary
to fit an Sulzer DI-module and connect this in accordance with the circuit diagrams below.
ATTENTION If the DI-seal monitoring is activated the unit must be immediately taken out of ser-
vice. Please contact your Sulzer service centre.

6 Commissioning
Before commissioning the pump/pump station should be checked and a functional test carried out. Particular
attention should be paid to the following:
g
In explosive zones care must be taken that during switching on and operation of the pumps the pump
section is filled with water (dry running) or alternatively is submerged or under water (wet installation).
Ensure in this case that the minimum submergence given in the data sheet is observed, Other types
of operation e.g. snore operation or dry running are not allowed.
• Have the electrical connections been carried out in accordance with regulations?
• Have the thermal sensors been connected?
• Is the seal monitoring device (where fitted) correctly installed?
• Is the motor overload switch correctly set?
• Have the power and control circuit cables been correctly fitted?
• Was the sump cleaned out?
• Have the inflow and outflows of the pump station been cleaned and checked?
GB 2500-J
49
• Is the direction of rotation of the pump correct - even if run via an emergency generator?
• Are the level controls functioning correctly?
• Are the required gates valves (where fitted) open?
XFP
• Do the non-return valves (where fitted) function easily?
• Have the hydraulics been vented in the case of dry installed pumps?
AFLX/VUPX
• Have the steel riser pipe, or concrete sump be cleaned thoroughly (builder’s rubble, etc.)?
7 Maintenance
General maintenance hints
NOTE The maintenance hints given here are not designed for “do-it-yourself” repairs as
special technical knowledge is required.
Sulzer submersible pumps are reliable quality products each being subjected to careful final inspection. Lubri-
cated-for-life ball bearings together with monitoring devices ensure optimum pump reliability provided that the
pump has been connected and operated in accordance with the operating instructions.
Should, nevertheless, a malfunction occur, do not improvise but ask your Sulzer customer service department
for assistance.
This applies particularly if the pump is continually switched off by the current overload in the control panel, by
the thermal sensors/limiters of the thermo-control system or by the seal monitoring system (DI).
ATTENTION The lifting tools like chains and shackles should be visually checked in regular inter-
vals (approx. every 3-month) for wear and corrosion. These parts should be replaced
if required!
The Sulzer service organisation would be pleased to advise you on any applications you may have and to assist you
in solving your pumping problems.
NOTE The Sulzer warranty conditions are only valid provided that any repair work has been
carried out in Sulzer approved workshops and where original ABS spare parts have
been used.
Maintenance hints if the submersible pump is out of use for a considerable period
NOTE If the pumps have remained idle for more than 12 months then we recommend that
you ask Sulzer or an approved distributor for advice.
Before installation:
The covers giving moisture protection of the cables should be only removed immediately before actual installa-
tion of the pump. After the removal of the transport securing devices and before connecting up the pump electri-
cally the motor shaft should be rotated a number of times by turning the impeller or propeller by hand.
After installation:
If, after installation of the submersible pump, it remains out of use for prolonged periods (for example in storm
water holding tanks) then we recommend that the pump be run for a maximum of 1 minute every 3 months in
order to check both its functioning and availability.

7.2 Removal of the submersible sewage pump
m
The safety hints in the previous sections must be observed!
7.2.1 Removal of the XFP submersible sewage pump from a wet sump
c
Before removal of the unit the motor connection cables at the control panel should be completely dis-
connected by a qualified person from mains and care should be taken that it cannot be inadvertently
switched back on.
g
Before removal of units in hazardous areas the sump and surrounding area must be adequately ven-
ted to avoid the danger of a spark causing an explosion!
• Fit a hoist to the pump.

• Raise the submersible pump out of the sump with the hoist. While doing this the connection cables should be
simultaneously drawn out of the sump as the pump itself is being raised.
56 GB 2500-J
• Place the submersible sewage pump vertically onto a firm surface and secure against tipping.
7.2.2 Removal of the XFP submersible sewage pump when dry installed
• Close off the gate valves on the inlet and discharge sides.
• Empty the volute and, if necessary, the discharge line.
• If fitted, dismantle the venting line above the discharge.
• Install lifting gear on the submersible pump.
• Disconnect the suction inlet by opening the bolts on the bottom plate of the hydraulics (or at the pump hou-
sing).
• Dismantle the pressure hose by loosening the screws on the pressure flange of the pump housing.
• If necessary, remove the fastening bolts at the ground support ring and carefully lift off the pump with the
hoist.
• Place the pump on an even, firm, flat surface.
7.2.3 Removal of the AFLX and VUPX submersible pump
• If present, the discharge pipe cover should be removed and the water pressure-tight cable inlet opened.
• Raise the submersible pump out of the concrete sump or the steel discharge pipe with the hoist. While doing
this the connection cables should be drawn out as the pump itself is being raised.
• Place the submersible pump with propeller housing vertically on a solid surface, taking care that it cannot tip
over.
