Transportation guidelines
Pump handling
WARNING:
• Make sure that the unit cannot roll or fall over and injure people or damage property.
• These pumps might use carbon or ceramic silicon carbide components. Do not drop the pump or
subject it to shock loads as this can damage the internal ceramic components.
NOTICE: Use a forklift truck or an overhead crane with sufficient capacity to move the pallet with the
pump unit on top. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage.
Lifting methods
WARNING:
• Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support this equipment
can result in serious physical injury and/or equipment damage. Lift equipment only at the specifically
identified lifting points. Lifting devices such as eyebolts, slings, and spreaders must be rated, selected,
and used for the entire load being lifted.
• Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be heavy. Use proper lifting methods and wear steel-
toed shoes at all times.
• Do not attach sling ropes to shaft ends.
Table 1: Methods
Pump type Lifting method
A bare pump without lifting
handles
Use a suitable sling attached properly to solid points like the casing, the
flanges, or the frames.

Cover
Standard seal
• The 3196 is available with a stuffing-box cover designed for a packing and a BigBore or a TaperBore
PLUS seal chamber.

• a machined rabbet fitted to the seal chamber/ stuffing box cover
• a precision dowel pin fitted to the bearing frame.
Power end • Flood-oil lubrication is standard.
• No machining is required to convert from oil to grease or oil-mist lubrication.
Regreasable bearings and oil-mist lubrication are optional.
• The oil level is checked through a sight glass.
• The power end is sealed with labyrinth seals.
• The power end is made in the following sizes:
• STi
• MTi
• LTi

• is free to float axially in the frame.
• is a single-row deep-groove ball bearing
The outboard bearing
• is shouldered and locked to the shaft and housing to enable it to carry radial
and thrust loads.
• is a double-row angular-contact bearing, except for the LTi which uses a pair of
single-row angular-contact ball bearings mounted back-to-back.
General description i-ALERT™ Condition Monitor
Description
The i-ALERT Condition Monitor is a compact, battery-operated monitoring device that continuously
measures the vibration and temperature of the pump power end. The condition monitor uses blinking red
LEDs to alert the pump operator when the pump exceeds pre-set vibration and temperature limits. This
allows the pump operator to make changes to the process or the pump before a catastrophic failure
occurs. The condition monitor is also equipped with a single green LED to indicate when it is operational
and has sufficient battery life.
Alarm mode
The condition monitor enters alarm mode when either vibration or temperature limits are exceeded over
two consecutive readings within a ten minute period. Alarm mode is indicated with two red flashing LEDs
within two second intervals.
Product Description
Model 3196 i-FRAME Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual 15

Temperature and vibration limits
Variable Limit
Temperature 195°F (91°C)
Vibration 100% increase over the baseline level
Battery life
The i-ALERT Condition Monitor battery is not replaceable. You must replace the entire unit once
the battery runs out of power.
The battery life is not covered as part of the standard five-year pump warranty.
This table shows the average condition monitor battery life under normal and alarm-mode operating
conditions.
Condition monitor operational state Battery life
Normal operating and environmental conditions Three to five years
Alarm mode One year
Nameplate information
Important information for ordering
