applications. Please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Risk of Electric Shock.
Single Phase Pump models for 115V, 60Hz are supplied with a cable having grounding
conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Whereas Single Phase Pump models
for 220V, 50Hz are supplied with a cable having grounding conductor but pumps do not
come with electric plug connectors. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it
is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Refer PERFECTA
Single Phase Pump Power Cable Ends Diagram A.
Three Phase Pump models are supplied with cable/s having grounding conductor, and
suitable Control Panel to operate the pump. The Control Panel does have a grounding
bolt provision on the Control Panel side wall. Make sure to use that bolt to create proper
grounding for safety.
INTENDED METHODS OF WIRING CONNECTION
SINGLE PHASE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM
ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single Phase Pumps-115V/60Hz are
supplied with a three prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of
electrical shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND
PIN. The three prong plug must be inserted into a mating three prong grounded
receptacle. IF the installation does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to
the proper type, wired, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and all applicable local codes and ordinances. The 220V/50Hz types of pumps are
supplied without plug. For safety it is recommended to use proper plug as per the local,
national standards and specifications.
“Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord or
connect conduit directly to the pump.
Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should be
performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should be
performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
Follow the instructions provided with the Control Panel to wire the system.
SUMP, PIPING AND POWERING- Refer PERFECTA Pump Installation Diagram B
•The pump can be installed in a sump or into a small pit in the sump. The small pit
should be well-leveled and having total volumetric size approximately double
than that of the pump.
•For maximum pumping capacity, use the proper size non-collapsible hose fixed
with a Tapered Hose Connection (1 1/4'' –1 1/2") by metal clamps, or rigid piping
of Metal/uPVC fixed with a Threaded Female Flange (1 1/4" NPT). A check valve
may be installed after the discharge to prevent back flow when the pump is shut
off. Select delivery pipe material suitable to pumping liquid.
•The most preferred installation position is vertical with strainer on the sump
ground, or the pump / strainer can also be placed (optional) on a rigid support of
about 4'' height.
•The cable/s should be run properly in the sump, and a cable conduit should be
provided from sump to the power supply source for the pump.
•Pump Rotation: Check the rotational direction of the pump, before installing the
pump in the sump, by supplying power momentarily (2-3 Sec). Single Phase
Pumps are having cable with plug (115V, 60Hz) and without plug (220V, 50Hz).
Connect suitable plug to a cable of 220V, 50Hz pumps. All Three Phase Pumps
are supplied with a Control Panel. Connect pump cable/s to Control Panel as per
Diagram C and a power supply cable from Main Power Source to a Control
Panel. Single Phase Pump can be powered by direct plug-in to the power source
while the Three Phase Pumps are with a Control Panel. Put the pump in vertical
position with Pump Handle remains on TOP SIDE and powered it for 2-3 Sec to
check the rotational direction while facing towards a Pump Handle. The pump
should show kick-back motion in counter-clockwise direction as shown in the
image E.
•Lifting: Attach a rope/lifting chain, not included in supply & shown in Diagram B,
to the handle on the top of the pump. Do not lift the pump by the power cable/s or
discharge hose/piping. Proper lifting equipment (rope/chain) must be used.
•Do not run pump dry.
•Pumping liquid should not exceed a maximum temperature of 135°F (57°C) for
continuous (S1) Duty and 195°F (90°C) for Intermittent use submergence less
than 20 minutes.
•Never place the pump on loose or soft ground. The pump may sink, preventing
water from reaching the impeller. Place on a solid surface or suspend the pump
vertically with a lifting rope/chain.

PUMP OPERATION
This pump is designed to handle different type of liquids excluding
volatile or flammable liquids. Do not attempt to pump any such liquid which may
damage the pump or endanger personnel because of pump failure.
Do not operate this pump where explosive vapors or flammable
materials exist. Death or Serious injury will result.
Do not alter the length or repair any power cable with a splice. The
pump motor and cable must be completely waterproof. Damage to the pump or
personal injury may result from alterations.
Single Phase Pump Operation: The Single Phase Pumps are available with or without
a Float Switch. They are also having in-built Overload Relay as per their current ratings.
The 115V/60Hz pump is supplied with its power cable connected with plug. Plug the
power cable into 115V grounded receptacle. The 220/50Hz pump needs to be attached
with a suitable plug. First, Check the direction of the rotation as instructed above. Tilt
the pump and start it. It should give kick back motion in a counter-clockwise direction as
shown in an image E. It is recommended that a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) type
receptacle (or equivalent) be used. Make the piping as instructed above and now pump
is ready for sump duty. To stop pump operation manually unplug it from female
receptacle or close the ON/OFF Switch, if provided. A Float Switch will control the pump
operation with respect to liquid level as shown in Diagram F. In case of pump
overloading due to any reason, the in-built Relay will STOP the pump and the pump will
restart automatically when it cools down sufficiently.
Three Phase Pump Operation: All Three Phase Pumps are supplied with a Float
Switch and suitable Control Panel for operation. Diagram D shows internal wiring
connection of the Control Panel. Refer Diagram C for making Pump Cable/s connection
to Control Panel, and connection for the Power Supply Cable and Breaker to Control
Panel from the MAIN Power Source. The Cable and Breaker from MAIN Power Source
to Control Panel is not in a scope of supply, and its user’s responsibility. The Control
Panel does also have connection ports for Float + Overload Cable. Refer an instruction
given on Diagram C for connection of that cable too. Make the connections and check
the direction of the rotation as instructed above. Tilt the pump and start it. It should give
a kick back motion in a counter-clockwise direction as shown in an image E. Make the
piping as instructed above and now pump is ready for sump duty. Different operation
modes are possible for Three Phase Pump with Control Panel. Refer Table 1 for it. To
STOP the pump manually turn-off a Breaker. A Float Switch will control pump operation
based on the liquid level as shown in Diagram F. The Table 1 represents different
modes of pump operation.
The Control Panel is suitable for internal area applications only. Do
not install Control Panel in an open area. Install it in a dry, clean space that is free of
hazards like fire, high temperatures, splashing water etc. Fix the Control Panel on a
Wooden Board of 1'' thickness. 8
