5.2 Frequency converter operation
Frequency converter is available only for
the DWK.E and DWK.H versions, for all
sizes. DWK.O cannot be operated with
frequency converter.
In principle, all three-phase motors can be connected
to a frequency converter. However, frequency
converter operation often exposes the motor
insulation system to a heavier load and causes the
motor to be noisier. In addition, large motors driven
with a frequency converter are loaded by bearing
currents.
For frequency converter operation, observe the
following:
• The thermal protection of the motor must be
connected.
• Peak voltage and dU/dt must be according to the
table below. The values stated are maximum
values supplied to the motor terminals. The cable
influence is not taken into account. See the
frequency converter data sheet regarding the
actual values and the cable influence on the peak
voltage and dU/dt.
• Use a screened power cable if there is a risk that
electrical noise may disturb other electrical
equipment.
• Set the frequency converter U/f ratio according to
the motor data.
• The locked-rotor torque can be lower depending
on the type of the frequency converter.
• The noise level may increase. See the installation
and operating instructions of the selected
frequency converter.
• Minimum switching frequency is 2 kHz. Variable
switching frequency is accepted.
• Do not exceed the frequency indicated on the
nameplate as this may cause motor overload.
• Keep the power cable as short as possible. The
peak voltage increases with the length of the
power cable.
• Use input and output filters on the frequency
converter.
• Do not reduce the motor speed to less than 30 %
of the rated speed.
• Keep the flow velocity above 1 m/sec.
• Let the pump run at rated speed at least once a
day to prevent sedimentation in the pipe system.
Maximum repetitive peak
voltage
[V]
Maximum dU/dt UN 400 V
[V/μ sec.]
850 2000
Frequency converter use may reduce life
span of the bearings and the shaft seal,
depending on the operating mode and
other circumstances.
5.3 Thermal protection
One thermal switch is built into the motor winding to
break the circuit in case of overheating.
The following thermal protections are available for
DWK pumps, depending on the pump type:
• PTO or Klixon thermal switch (Bi-metallic)
• circuit breaker - Klixon (connected to the star point
of the stator)
• Pt100 thermal sensor (PCA Platinum chip).
Connect the thermal switch to the control wire of the
power cable inside the pump and to the safety circuit
of the separate pump controller.
5.4 Pump controllers
5.4.1 Level controllers
The liquid level can be controlled by the Grundfos LC
level controllers.
Suitable level controllers, depending on the size of
pumps:
• LC 231: a compact solution with certified motor
protection for a nominal current of up to 12A (9.6A
in the US) when running a single pump, or up to
9A (7.6A in the US) when running two pumps
simultaneously. Supports the DOL starting
method.
14
English (GB)

LC 231 supports analog level transmitters, digital
float switches and combinations of both. Air bells
are available as an accessory.
• LC 241: a cabinet solution offering modularity and
customisation for single- and dual-pump
versions. Supports DOL, star delta and soft starter
starting methods. Standard variant ranges are
available for up to 23A in DOL, 43A in star delta,
and up to 72A with soft starter. Customable
variants are available on request.
LC 241 supports analog level transmitters, digital
float switches and combinations of both.
Electrodes are available as an option and air bells
as an accessory.
"Level switches" can be air bells, float switches or
electrodes depending on the selected pump
controller.
Depending on the security levels and the number of
pumps, level switches can be used in the following
setups:
• dry run (optional)
• stop
• start pump 1 (single-pump version)
• start pump 2 (dual-pump version)
• high level (optional).
Analogue level transmitters can be used, and all
levels can be customised. Level switches can be
used with level transmitters, for dry-run protection and
high level alarm.
The pump must not run dry. Install an
additional level switch to ensure that the
pump is stopped in case the stop level
switch is not operating.
Both controllers can be fitted with a single level
transmitter, and can be supported with one or two
digital float switches for high level and dry-run setup
for security. The controllers can also be equipped
with up to 5 pieces of digital float switches only in a
two-pump installation.
If a simple installation is required, a one-pump
installation can be controlled by just one digital float
switch acting as "start pump 1 / stop” where the one
float switch starts and stops the pump. A stop delay
can be added to avoid too many starts and stops.
Similarly, a two-pump installation can be created with
two digital float switches.

5.4.2 GU01 and GU02
GU01 is a device that monitors the stator temperature
and water penetration into the motor. It receives a
digital signal.
GU02 is a device that monitors the stator and bearing
temperature as well as water penetration into the
motor. It receives an analog signal.
Both monitoring devices must be connected to the
control panel through a relay.
GU01 and GU02 are manufactured for Grundfos. For
further information, contact Grundfos.
LC 231 and LC 241 controllers can handle the same
sensors as GU01 and GU02 but cannot give an
alarm.
For further information, see the data sheets for GU01
and GU02 at www.grundfos.com.
WARNING

Death or serious personal injury
‐Before manual startup or changeover
to automatic control, make sure that no
persons are working on or near the
pump.
To start the pump, proceed as follows:
1. Switch on the power supply.
2. Open the isolating valves, if fitted.
3. Make sure that the pump is at least 2/3rd
submerged into the pumped liquid.
4. Tilt the pump by the lifting chain to vent it and
relieve any trapped air.
5. Run the pump briefly and check the liquid level. A
correctly vented pump lowers the liquid level
quickly.
6. Start the pump.
Use hearing protection when working nearby an
installation in operation with a sound pressure level
above 70 dB(A).
6.2 Operating modes
The pumps are designed for intermittent operation
(S3). When DWK.O pumps are completely

6.3 Checking the direction of rotation
Check the direction of rotation every time the pump is
connected to a new installation.
1. Remove the pump from the system.
2. Let the pump hang from a lifting device such as
the chain used for lowering the pump into the pit.
3. Start and stop the pump while observing the
movement (jerk) of the pump.
4. If connected correctly, the pump jerks
counterclockwise.
5. If the direction of rotation is wrong, interchange
two phases in the power cable.

DANGER
Crushing of hands
Death or serious personal injury
‐Do not touch the pump when starting it
up.
Without being submerged in the pumped
liquid, start the pump and let it run for
maximum 5 seconds to check the direction
of rotation.
Before startup, make sure that the bottom
of the pit is clean to avoid material or
objects being sucked into the impeller.

7. Maintenance and service
7.1 Maintenance schedule
Under normal operating conditions, remove the pump
from the pit and inspect it once a year.
Under severe operating conditions, including when
the liquid contains sand, fibrous matter and solids,
inspect the pump once a month.
DANGER
Electric shock
Death or serious personal injury
‐Before working on the pump, make
sure that the main switch is switched
off and locked in position 0. Make sure
that the power supply is switched off
and it cannot be switched on
unintentionally.
Measure insulation resistance once a
month.
Measure outlet pressure and flow rate
once a month if a flowmeter is available.
Ball bearings require no maintenance and
are lubricated for life.
Check the current and voltage
Check the pump current and voltage. If the value
measured by the ammeter deviates from the rated
value, it indicates a problem. The voltage must be
stable (within ± 5 %) throughout the operational
period.
Check the insulation resistance
If the insulation resistance has significantly declined
since the previous reading, it may indicate an
impending insulation failure. The pump must be
scheduled for service even if the insulation resistance
is still over 10 MΩ.
Check the outlet pressure and flow rate
Declining performance may indicate the need for an
overhaul. Regardless of performance, the pressure
and flow rate must be stable, and rapidly changing
pressure or flow rate indicate system problems on the
inlet or outlet side.
Check impeller clearence
Check the clearance between the impeller and the
wear plate. The recommended clearance is 0.3 - 0.5
mm. Replace or repair it as necessary.

TM044144
Pos. Description
1 Oil filling hole
When the pump is new or the shaft seal is replaced,
check the oil level and water content after one week
of operation. If there is more than 20 % extra liquid
(water) in the oil chamber, the shaft seal is defective.
Use original parts only.
Use ISO VG 32 Mobil DTE 24 turbine oil
90 or any equivalent type.
Dispose of used oil according to local
regulations.
CAUTION
Pressurised system
Minor or moderate personal injury
‐The oil chamber may be under
pressure. Loosen the screws carefully
and do not remove them until the
pressure is completely relieved.
After 3000 operating hours or at least once
a year, change the oil in the oil chamber as
described below. If the shaft seal is
replaced, the oil must be changed.

6. Preparations before startup
7.2.1 Oil draining
1. Loosen the oil plug.
2. Remove the oil plug and check the oil level.
3. Place a clean container under the pump to collect
the drained-off oil.
4. Tilt the pump with the oil-filling hole pointing
downwards.
5. Inspect the oil.
If the colour is greyish white, the oil may contain
water. If the oil contains water, the shaft seal is
defective and must be replaced. If the oil quantity
is less than the specified, the shaft seal is
defective and must be replaced. If the shaft seal is
not replaced, it can cause motor damage.
7.2.2 Oil filling
Fill the oil chamber with oil through the oil filling hole.
7.3 Contaminated pumps
The product is classified as contaminated, if it is used
for contagious or toxic liquid.
WARNING
Biological hazard
Death or serious personal injury
‐Flush the pump thoroughly with clean
water, and rinse the pump parts after
dismantling.
Before returning the product for service, contact
Grundfos with details about the pumped liquid.
Otherwise, Grundfos can deny to service the product.

8. Storing the product
Newly delivered products can be stored for 1 year
without opening the original package.
For extended periods of storage, the pump
must be protected from moisture, heat,
vibration and corrosion.
After an extended period of storage, inspect the pump
before operation. Make sure that the impeller can
rotate freely. Check the condition of the shaft seals,
O-rings and the cable entries.
Store the pump in a vertical position on a
pallet or a stand while in the factory
packaging. Make sure that it cannot roll or
fall over. Pumps without factory packaging
can be stored both horizontally and
vertically.
Leave the cable-end protectors on the
power- and control cables until starting the
electrical connection. Whether insulated or
not, the free cable end must never be
exposed to moisture or water to prevent
motor damage.
Give all unpainted surfaces a thin coat of
oil or grease to prevent corrosion.
If the pump is being stored for more than a
month, turn the impeller at least every
month to prevent the seal faces of the
mechanical shaft seal from seizing
up which can damage the shaft seal at the
pump start.
If the impeller cannot be turned, contact
Grundfos or an authorised service
workshop.
WARNING
Crushing hazard
Death or serious personal injury
‐Do not turn the impeller by hand.
Always use an appropriate tool.
If an installed pump is not in operation for
a longer period, check the insulation
resistance and run the pump for 30
minutes every month.
When the pump is not in service,
disconnect the power supply from the
control panel.
9. Fault finding
Before diagnosing any fault, read and observe the
safety instructions.
For pumps with a sensor, start fault finding
by checking the status on the GU01 or
GU02 front panel. See the installation and
operating instructions for GU01 or GU02.
DANGER
Electric shock
Death or serious personal injury
‐Before working on the product, make
sure that the power supply is switched
off and it cannot be switched on
unintentionally.
