4. TechnicalInformation
4.1 General description
MAGSON type MAS magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps are self-priming centrifugal
pumps made of plastic and built in horizontal single-stage monoblock design. A magnetic
coupling connects the pump to the motor and transmits the power of the motor to the
impeller.
Pump housings, impellers, inner magnet sheaths and rear casings are made of plastic.
The rear casing hermetically seals the fluid from the ambient atmosphere. Because of
magnetic power transmission, there is no need to mechanically seal the shaft. So, in
contrast to mechanically or gland sealed pumps, any leakage at the shaft is completely
impossible.
Pump type MAS has an integrated priming tank which must be filled with liquid before
initial startup.
4.2 Nameplate
The nameplate of the pump not only specifies its operating data but also its type and
serial number. Please indicate all these data when making an inquiry, reordering parts
and, in particular, when ordering spare parts. Data of the electric motor are given on a
separate rating plate. For further information, contact your pump's supplier or the
manufacturer.

and dimensions of the purchase order.
4. The packaging material has to be disposed of according to local regulations.
5.3 Temporary storage
The pump must only be stored at a dry place free of frost. When storing the pump,
protect it against any contaminants getting in.
6. Installation
6.1 Safety precautions
WARNING
Danger of getting jammed or bruised during installation of the pump
#If necessary, use lifting and holding devices suitable to the size and weight of the pump.
#Make sure that all installation work is done by competent and qualified personnel only.
WARNING
Danger of being hit by falling components
#If necessary, use lifting and holding devices suitable to the size and weight of the pump.
#Make sure that all installation work is done by competent and qualified personnel only.
6.2 Installation requirements
Install the pump at a place that allows you easy access at any time. The limit values of
Ambient temperature is as follows: 0 to +40°C for pumps of PP;
-20 to +40°C for pumps of ETFE.

16
6.3 Installation
1.
Install
the pump in a horizontal
position. For any other installation
position, please contact the
manufacturer.
2. Remove all covers and caps from
the flanges before installing the
pump.
3. The Pump is self-priming. Therefore
it can be placed above liquid level.
4. Max. suction height is 5 mWc
(Water @ 20°C)!
Maximum suction height depends on the fluid to be handled. It may change due to:
#Friction losses in suction pipe
#Higher temperature of the fluid
#Higher density and/or viscosity
#Lower boiling temperature
WARNING
Make sure all bolting’s at suction pipe are vacuum tight!
In case of leaky suction pipe the suction capacity of the pump can be reduced or pump
fails!
Make sure that the pump does not draw in impurities when priming.
6.3.1 Hose and pipe lines
5. All pipe line diameters should be sufficiently large. The speed within the suction pipe
should be between 1 and 2m/s; speed within the discharge pipe should not exceed
3m/s. Pipe diameters have to be at least the size of the suction and discharge ports.
6. All suction and discharge pipes to the pump housing should be free of tensile stress.
7. If necessary, install expansion joints at the pipes to compensate excessive tension due
to the pipe’s thermal expansion.
8. Avoid bending radii of less than 1.5 times the nominal pipe size.
9. Also avoid sharp changes in diameters within the piping.

6.3.2 Suction line
ATTENTION
Risk of damaging the pump by cavitation
When installing the suction line, make sure to meet the NSPH value given in the æAppendix page 32 foll.. If
the NPSH falls below this value, there will be cavitation resulting in running noise, drumming and vibration of
the pump.
We do not provide warranty for any damage to the pump caused by cavitation!
10. The suction pipe or hose should be made of a material that will not deform or distort
by vacuum or higher temperatures.
The suction line also should be as short as possible, its installation preventing any gas
accumulation.
11. When dimensioning pipelines, fittings etc., make sure to keep the flow resistances as
low as possible.
12. Provide for a straight steadying section of at least 5 times the nominal diameter
before the suction port.
13. Suction lines have to be vacuum-sealed because penetrating air causes malfunction
and may result in damage to the pump.
14. Make sure that the flow rate in the suction line installed does not exceed 1m/s.
15. Protect the pump against dry-running by installing adequate equipment (optionally
available).
16. For easy installation and removal of the pump, a shut-off valve (but no diaphragm
valve) should be built into the suction line.
NOTE
Do not use the shut-off valve of the suction line to adjust the delivery rate!
6.3.3 Discharge line
Standard flow rate of the discharge line is 3m/s.
Discharge pipe should go straight upwards (approx. 500mm) to avoid liquid losses during
suction procedure.
We recommend installing a control element to adjust the flow rate of the discharge line.
ATTENTION
Damaging of the pump housing by pressure jerks
Do not install any quick-acting stop valves to the pipelines!
To measure working conditions, you better install a manometer between the discharge
port of the pump and the throttle valve as well as a volume flow meter, if necessary.

18
6.3.4 Flange or threaded connections
MAGSON MAS pumps of types BG4 to BG6 are
equipped with slip-on flanges as standard features.
The rotating flange allows you to easily connect the
pump without considering the angular position of the
mating flange.
Do not use hard material to seal the flange but
appropriate elastomer seals.
Replacin
g a flange by a threaded
adapter
Alternatively you can use an insert fitting
and spigot nut to connect the pump.
To do so, you have to replace the screwed
flange by the attached threaded adapter as
follows:
1. Take the slip-on flange off the flange
fixture using a rubber mallet.
2. Use a strap wrench to unscrew the
flange fixture. Take the O-ring off the
fixture and put it into the (inner thread)
of the threaded adapter.

3. Screw the threaded adapter to the
pump housing using the strap wrench.
Make sure that the O-ring fits exactly
into the groove of the inner thread.
6.3.5 Electrical connection
NOTE
Qualified personnel only are allowed to connect the pump to the electrical mains.
All electrical connections and the installation of additional protection devices has to be done in accordance
with the regulations of your local power supplier and the VDE Association of German Electrical Engineers.
Before working on the terminal box of the pump, the power supply must have been cut
off for at least 5 minutes.
17. Make sure that the power supply available corresponds to the data of the nameplate.
18. Connect the motor according to the following schematic attached to the terminal box:
19. As standard features, all three-phase AC motors have PTC resistors to monitor the
winding temperature. To operate the pump with frequency converter, also connect
the PTC resistors.
20. All AC motors have a thermal sensor as standard feature which also has to be
connected.
21. Do not operate any AC motor without circuit-breaker!
NOTE
Please ask the manufacturer for additional motor protection devices.

20
6.3.6 Controlling the direction of rotation
ATTENTION
Dry-running will damage the pump
Do not check the direction of rotation when there is no fluid in the pump!
1. Mind the direction of rotation indicated by an arrow on the pump. Before verifying it
after the installation, fill the pump housing and suction line with water or fluid (refer
item 2).
2.
Detach filling
