3 Transport and storage
cThe unit must never be raised by the power cable.
Depending on model and mode of installation, the units are prepared at the factory for vertical or horizontal
transportation.

EN 2520-A
Installation and Operating Instructions
XFP-PE7 | AFLX-PE7 | VUPX-PE7

The units are equipped with a safety shackle (series for vertical setup) or swivel ring bolt (horizontal setup),
whichallowxingchainsfortransportingorforinstallingorremoving.Werecommendusingchainsfromthe
Sulzer list of accessories.
mTake note of the entire weight of the unit (see nameplate Figure 1) The hoist and chain must be
adequately dimensioned for the weight of the unit and must comply with the current valid safety
regulations.
ATTENTION In the case of pumps set up vertically, sealing plugs are mounted for protecting the
thread holes instead of swivel ring bolts. These seals may only be replaced by a
swivel ring bolt for maintenance work but must be screwed on again before startup!
0838-0005 0838-0004
Figure 4 Transport in a horizontal manner XFP Figure 5 Transport in a horizontal manner AFLX/VUPX
ATTENTION α max. ≤ 45°. The angle α between the centre line of the unit and the lifting tools
should not exceed 45°.
3.1 Transport securing devices
The motor connection cables are protected against the ingress of moisture along the cable by having the ends
sealed at the factory with protective covers.
These protective covers should only be removed immediately prior to connecting the pumps electrically.
ATTENTION These protective covers only provide protection against water spray or similar and
are not a water tight seal. The ends of the cables should not be immersed in water,
otherwise moisture could enter the connection chamber of the motor.
NOTE If there is a possibility of water ingress then the cables should be secured so that the
ends are above the maximum possible ood level. Take care not to damage the cable
or it’s insulation when doing this!
In order to avoid damage to the pump shaft or the bearings during horizontal transport the shaft is clamped in
an axial direction when leaving the factory.
ATTENTION The motor shaft transport lock must be removed before startup!

3.2 Storage of the units
ATTENTION The Sulzer products must be protected from weather inuences such as UV from
direct sunlight, high humidity, aggressive dust emissions, mechanical damage,
frost etc. The Sulzer original packaging with the relevant transport securing devices
(where used) ensures optimum protection of the unit. If the units are exposed to
temperatures under 0 °C/32 °F check that there is no water in the hydraulics, cooling
system, or other spaces. In the case of heavy frosts, the units and cable should not
be moved if possible. When storing under extreme conditions, e.g. in tropical or
desert conditions suitable additional protective steps should be taken. We would be
glad to advise you further
NOTE The Sulzer units normally require no maintenance during storage. During longer
storage times, (after approx. one year) the transport locks on the motor shaft (not all
versions) must be dismantled. Coolant is applied to the sealing surfaces by manually
turning the shaft several times (also for the purpose of cooling or lubricating so that
trouble-free function of the sliding ring seal is ensured). No maintenance is required
when storing the motor shaft.

4.2 DI-Electrode
The DI electrodes carry out the seal monitoring function and signal the ingress of moisture into the motor by
means of a special electronic device. Connection see chapter 5.6
4.3 Temperature monitoring of the stator
Thermal limiters protect the stator from overheating in the case of asymmetric phase loading or voltage, con-
tinuous dry running or excessive temperatures in the medium itself. The stator is equipped with three bimetallic
thermal limiters (optional PTC, PT100) which are connected in series.
4.4 Temperature monitoring of the bearings (option)
Inthecaseofexistingbearingmonitoring,abimetaltemperaturelimiterisbuiltintothebearingangesofthe
standard version. This enables premature switching off of the submersible motor (e.g., due to wear-related
increase in bearing temperature).
Switching temperature: Upperbearing=140°C/284°F Lowerbearing =130°C/269°F
4.5 Temperature sensor indication
A continuous indication of the temperature in the stator and the bearings is not possible using bimetallic thermal
limitersorthermistors.ForthisapplicationitisnecessarytotthermalsensorsofthetypePT100withlinear
characteristics into the stator and bearing blocks. This type of resistor has a linear characteristic, i.e. the
resistance rise is proportional to the temperature rise; see also section 5.6.
ATTENTION If the DI seal monitoring is activated the unit must be immediately taken out of
service. Please contact your Sulzer Service Centre.
NOTE Running the pump with the thermal and/or moisture sensors disconnected will
invalidate related warranty claims.

ATTENTION Thermistors or PT 100 devices must never be directly connected into the control or
power system. They must always be connected to a suitable evaluation device.
The thermal monitoring circuit must be wired into the motor contactors in such a manner that a manual reset is
required.
4.6 Operation with frequency inverters
The stator design and the insulation grade of the motors from Sulzer means that they are suitable for usage
with frequency inverters. It is however essential that the following conditions are met:
• The guidelines for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) are complied with.
• Speed/torquecurvesformotorsdrivenbyfrequencyinverterscanbefoundinourproductselectionrange.
• Explosion-proof motors must be equipped with thermistors (PTC temperature sensors) if operated in hazard-
ous areas (ATEX Zone 1 and 2).
• Machines designated as Ex machines may never, without exception, be operated using a mains frequency
that is greater than the maximum of 50 or 60 Hz as indicated on the type plate. Make sure that the rated
currentspeciedonthetypeplateisnotexceededafterstartingthemotors.Themaximumnumberofstarts
according to the motor datasheet may not be exceeded.
• Machines that are not designated as Ex machines may only be operated using the mains frequency indicated
on the type plate. Greater frequencies can be used but only after consulting with and receiving permission
from the Sulzer manufacturing plant.
• For operation of Ex motors on frequency inverters special requirements in relation to the tripping times of the
thermo control elements, must be observed.
• Thelowestfrequencymustbesetsothattheminimumuidvelocityof1m/sispresentinthevolute.
• The maximum frequency must be set so the rated power of the motor is not exceeded.

Modernfrequencyinvertersusehigherwavefrequenciesandasteeperriseontheanksofthevoltagewave.
This means that motor losses and motor noise is reduced. Unfortunately these inverter output signals cause
higher voltage spikes in the stator. Experience has shown, that depending on rated voltage and the length of
the cable between the inverter and the motor, these voltage spikes can adversely affect the life of the motor.
Inordertoavoidthis,invertersofthistypemustbeequippedwithsinuslterswhenusedinthecriticalzone
(see g 10).Thesinuslterchosenmustbesuitablefortheinverterwithregardtoratedvoltage,inverterwave
frequency, rated current of the inverter and maximum inverter output frequency. Make sure that the rated
voltage is supplied to the terminal board of the motor.

The wires (motor cable) are designed according to VDE 0298-4:2013-06; the operating conditions are based on
table 14 for special rubber cables. The load capacity of the wires is adapted to an ambient temperature of 40 °C
according to table15 (column 4 for multicore cables and column 5 for single-core cables), and calculated with a
factor for clustering and installation type.
A minimum gap of 1 x outer diameter of the cable used applies when installing.
ATTENTION Twisting must not occur. The cables must not touch anything, not grabbed or
bundled. When extending, recalculate the wire cross-section according to VDE 0298-
4, irrespective of the cable and installation type, cluster etc.!
Inpumpstations/tanks,equipotentialbondingmustbecarriedoutaccordingtoVDE0100part540(Regulations
for the installation of pipelines, protective measures in high-voltage systems).

ThecouplingringrequiredforinstallationoftheAFLX/VUPXsubmersiblepumpmustalreadybeinstalledas
shown in Figure 15a and 15b. Before installation of the pump a suitable support (hook) for the chain, as well as
an opening and suspension (cable sock) for the cable must be provided in the sump or riser pipe.
Beforeorduringtheinstallationthemotorconnectioncablesshouldbettedonsitewithsuitablestrainrelief
(e.g. cable socks). Particular care should be taken that the cable insulation is not crushed or damaged by the
weight of the hanging cable especially in the area of the cable inlet.
ATTENTION When raising the submersible pump out of the concrete sump or the steel discharge
pipe with the hoist ensure that the connection cables are lifted out simultaneously as
the pump itself is being raised.
Lowering of the AFLX and VUPX submersible pump into the coupling ring
ATTENTION Before lowering the pump a direction of rotation check should be carried out.
• Draw the cable hose over the end of the connection cable.

ATTENTION The steel riser pipe, or concrete sump must be cleaned thoroughly (builder‘s rub-
ble, etc.). To optimise the inow and to reduce the noise level it is important that one
pair of ns of the suction pipe are in line with the main ow direction of the inow
chamber. This must be observed when tting the pump into a sump or into a steel
discharge pipe.
• Useliftingequipmenttoslowlylowerthesubmersiblemixedowcolumn/propellerpumpintotheshaftupto
thecouplingring;feedinthemotorconnectingcableatthesametime.Thesubmersiblemixedowcolumn/
propeller pump centres itself automatically and leakage-free in the coupling ring.
• Attach the lifting chain to the hook provided so that it cannot strike either the pump cable or the sump wall.
• Tension the pump cable and fasten to the hook provided with the aid of the cable sock. Where a steel
pressure pipe is used the connection cable should be brought through the connection cable inlet and sealed
off in a watertight manner.
c Theconnectioncableshouldonlybetightenedsufcientlysothatnotensionactsatthecableinletin
the head of the pump. The connection cable should not strike the chain or the sump wall.
• If necessary, the steel riser pipe is sealed off in a watertight manner.

5.3 Electrical connection
Before commissioning, an expert should check that one of the necessary electrical protective devices is
avail-able. Earthing, neutral, earth leakage circuit breakers, etc. must comply with the regulations of the local
electricitysupplyauthorityandaqualiedpersonshouldcheckthattheseareinperfectorder.
ATTENTION The power supply system on site must comply with VDE or other local regulations
with regard to cross-sectional area and maximum voltage drop. The voltage stated on
the nameplate of the pump must correspond to that of the mains.
cThe incoming power supply as well as the connection of the pump itself to the terminals on the control
panel must comply with the circuit diagram of the control panel as well as the motor connection
diagramsandmustbecarriedoutbyaqualiedperson.
The power supply cable must be protected by an adequately dimensioned slow-blow fuse corresponding to the
rated power of the pump.
ATTTENTION The unit should only be operated with the overload relay and thermal sensors/limiters
connected.
