5. Installation
We recommend that installation is carried outby skilled personnel
with technical qualifications required by the specific legislation in
force.
The term skilled personnel means persons whose training,
experience and instruction, as well as their knowledge of the
respective standards and requirements for accident prevention
and working conditions, have been approved by the person in
charge of plant safety, authorizing them to perform all the
necessary activities, during which they are able to recognize and
avoid all dangers.
5.1 Mounting
The pump must be secured to a solid foundation by bolts through
the holes in the flange or the base plate.
5.2 Cable entries
The motor has four M20 screwed cable entries fitted with blind
plugs from factory.
The following cable glands are included:
• 2 x M20 cable gland, cable diameter ∅5 mm
• 1 x M20 cable gland, cable diameter ∅7-14 mm.
5.3 Ensuring motor cooling
Fig. 3 Minimum distance (D) from the motor to a wall or other
fixed objects
5.4 Outdoor installation
When installed outdoors, the motor must be provided with a
suitable cover to avoid condensation on the electronic
components. See fig. 2.
The cover must be sufficiently large to ensure that the motor is
not exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow. Grundfos does not
supply covers. We therefore recommend that you have a cover
built for the specific application. In areas with high air humidity,
we recommend that you enable the built-in standstill heating
function.
Fig. 4 Examples of covers (not supplied by Grundfos)
5.5 Drain holes
When the motor is installed in moist surroundings or areas with
high air humidity, the bottom drain hole should be open.
The enclosure class of the motor will then be lower. The open
drain hole helps prevent condensation in the motor as it will make
the motor self-venting and allow water and humid air to escape.
The motor has a plugged drain hole on the drive side. The flange
can be turned 90 ° to both sides or 180 °.
Fig. 5 Drain holes
Warning
Installation and operation must comply with local
regulations and accepted codes of good practice.
Warning
All electrical work should be performed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code, local
codes and regulations.
Warning
Verify that the electrical supply has been
switched OFF before making any connections.
The pump should not be connected to the
electrical system until it has been properly
installed in the piping system.
Note
Note
In order to ensure sufficient cooling of the motor,
the distance (D) between the end of the fan cover
and a wall or other fixed objects must always be
at least 2 inches (50 mm), irrespective of motor
size. See fig. 1.

7. Operating conditions
7.1 Maximum number of starts and stops
The number of starts and stops via the power supply must not
exceed four times per hour.
When switched on via the power supply, the pump will start after
approx. 5 seconds.
If a higher number of starts and stops is desired, use the digital
input for external start/stop when starting/stopping the pump.
When started via an external on/off digital input, the pump will
start immediately.
7.2 Ambient temperature
7.2.1 Ambient temperature during storage and transportation
Minimum -22 °F (-30 °C)
Maximum 140 °F (+60 °C).
7.2.2 Ambient temperature during operation
Minimum -4 °F (-20 °C)
Maximum 113 °F (+45 °C) (115 V models).
Maximum 122 °F (+50 °C) (220 V models)
The motor can operate with the rated power output (P2) at 122 °F
(50 °C), but continuous operation at higher temperatures will
reduce the expected product life. If the motor is to operate at
ambient temperatures between 122 °F and 140 °F (50 and 60
°C), an oversized motor must be selected. Contact Grundfos for
further information.
7.3 Installation altitude
Installation altitude is the height above sea level of the installation
site.
• Motors installed up to 3280 ft. (1000 meters) above sea level
can be loaded 100 %.
• Motors installed more than 3280 ft. (1000 meters) above sea
level must not be fully loaded due to the low density and
consequent low cooling effect of the air. See fig. 9.
Fig. 9 Derating of motor output power (P2) in relation to
altitude above sea level
7.4 Air humidity
Maximum air humidity: 95 %.
If the air humidity is constantly high and above 85 %, the drain
holes in the drive-end flange should be open. See section
5.5 Drain holes.
7.5 Motor cooling
To ensure cooling of motor and electronics, the following must be
observed:
• Position the motor in such a way that adequate cooling is
ensured. See section 5.3 Ensuring motor cooling.
• The temperature of the cooling air must not exceed 50 °C (122
°F) for 1x230V or 45 °C (113 °F) for 1x115V CMBE pumps.
• Keep cooling fins and fan blades clean.
7.6 Pumps with factory-fitted pressure sensor
The pressure sensor is fitted on the pump discharge side, and the
pump is set to constant pressure.
In this control mode, the pump will adjust its performance, i.e.
pump discharge pressure, to the desired setpoint (Hset). See fig.
10.
Fig. 10 Pump in constant-pressure control mode
8. Startup
After having carried out the mechanical and electrical installation
described in sections previously, proceed as follows:
8.1 Positive inlet pressure start-up procedure
