1.3 User safety
Strictly comply with current health and safety regulations.
Qualified personnel
This unit must be used only by qualified users. Qualified users are people able to recognise
the risks and avoid hazards during installation, use and maintenance of the unit.
1.4 Explosion protection
The installation, operation and maintenance of the unit in potentially explosive atmospheres
are regulated by EU Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX) and UK Regulation of 2016 regarding
Equipment and Protective Systems Intended For Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (S.I.
2016/1107).
DANGER: Potentially explosive atmosphere hazard
Make sure that the unit is classified and identified as explosion
-proof in the technical data
sheet or order confirmation before installing it in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
DANGER:
Potentially explosive atmosphere hazard
Observe the explosion protection warnings in this manual when installing, operating and
maintaining the unit in potentially explosive atmospheres.

en – Original instructions
e-IXPSA – Additional Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 7
DANGER: Potentially explosive atmosphere hazard
All the
electric material used for the connection must:
•
Be suitable for use
•Comply with local explosion protection regulations.
1.4.1 Explosion protection marking
The EX marking on the pump refers to the pump only. For the motor refer to its data plate and
to the Declaration of Conformity in the manual included in the supply.
Example of such marking on the pump is: II 2G h IIC Tx Gb
The marking shows the theoretically applicable range of temperature classes. Refer to
paragraph 1.4.1 for the different temperatures permitted, depending on the design of the
pump.
Also check the EX certification of the purchased motor and match it with the classification of the
pump.
1.4.1 Temperature limits
During normal operating conditions, the temperature of the pump body surface is the same as
that of the liquid. Expect extremely high temperatures:
•On the pump casing surface
•On the shaft sealing
•On the bearings area
During the quotation stage, handled either by sales, the technical department, appointed
representatives or the supplier of the mechanical seal, check the heating of the liquid at the
shaft.
NOTE:
If the pump surface temperature exceeds that of the liquid, check that the temperature class of
the pump on the ATEX label is respected.
Check and comply with the prescribed temperature classes, for example if the pump is heated
with heating jacket.
In the area of the bearing brackets, leave a free space between the surface and the surroundings.
During pump operation, avoid excessive sedimentation of dust by ensuring regular cleaning, to
prevent the pump surface from overheating.
Respect the stated operating temperature. The maximum allowed temperature of the pumped
liquid at the suction depends on the temperature class.
The table shows the temperature classes and the maximum permissible pump temperatures
according to EN ISO 80079-36, the maximum operating temperatures of the pumped liquid,
and any special limitations.

The maximum operating temperature of the pump is shown:
•In the data sheet or the order confirmation, or both
•In the name plate on the pump.
1.4.2 Operation of the pump
Filling
During pump operation, fill with the pumped liquid:
•The suction system
•The pressure pipe
•The pump itself.
Also carefully fill:
•All the sealing chambers
•The auxiliary systems of the shaft seal
•Heating system
•Cooling system
Ensure appropriate monitoring measures, in case the user is unable to guarantee this.
Operation
1. Start up the pump with the suction side fully open and and the discharge side valve fully
open: start-up with closed non-return valve is however also possible.
2. Immediately after the start-up, adjust the discharge side valve to the operating point (Section
5.3).
3. Before the pump start-up, activate the barrier, flush and cooling systems.
Note: only when the pump is stopped, is shutdown possible, depending on the nature of the
operation.

en – Original instructions
e-IXPSA – Additional Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 9
NOTE:
Do not operate with the valves closed at the suction or discharge pipe, or both.
For the minimum flow values, refer to Section 5.3. Longer operating sessions with these flows
and the indicated liquids don’t cause additional increase of the pump surface temperature. The
permitted temperature limits can be exceeded on pumps with mechanical seals, due to dry run.
Dry run can occur in case of:
•Insufficiently filled seal chamber
•Excessively high gas fractions in the medium
•Operation outside the permitted working range.
WARNING: Operating temperatures below the minimum values
Make sure that the unit is classified and identified as explosion
-proof in the technical data
sheet or order confirmation before installing it in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
1.4.3 Electric switches and control devices, instrumentation and accessories
Electric switches and control devices, instrumentation and accessories, like for example flush
tanks and so on, must meet with the applicable safety requirements and regulations for
explosion protection.
1.4.4 Intended use
Speed, pressure, temperature
The speed, pressure and temperature of the pump and the shaft sealing should not exceed the
limit values given in the data sheet and/or order confirmation.
As they can occur with too fast shut down, keep them under control for example by installing a
non-return valve on the pressure side, fly wheel or air tanks.
They can cause temperature shock and damage or impair the operation of single components.
Permitted Nozzle loads and Torques
The suction and discharge piping must be designed in such way that as little force as possible
is required for pump operation. If this is not possible, the values shown in Section 4.3.3 must not
be exceeded under any circumstances. This applies both when the pump is in operation and
when idle, and therefore for all the possible pressures and temperatures of the unit.
NPSH
The pumped liquid must have a minimum pressure NPSH at the impeller inlet, to ensure
cavitation free operation and prevent pump break off.
When the NPSH-value of the system (NPSHA) lies above the NPSH-value of the pump (NPSHR)
under all operating conditions, this requirement is fulfilled.
NOTE:
Do not operate with the valves closed at the suction and/or discharge pipe.
The curves of every pump type show the NPSH-value of the pump (NPSHR).

•≥ 100 mm (4 in), to ensure suitable ventilation
•≥ 300 mm (12 in), to allow inspection and removal of the motor.
4. Make sure that any leaks will not cause flooding to the installation area or submerge the
unit.
5. Make sure that the unit is protected from sudden temperature changes
Permitted positions
WARNING: Risk of explosion
Only install the unit in the horizontal position, to allow self
-venting.

4.2.3 Installation on concrete foundation
Foundation requirements
•The concrete must have a compression resistance of C12/15 and meet the requirements of
exposure class XC1 according to EN 206-1
•Sizes must be appropriate for the sizes of the unit support plate
•The foundation weight must be ≥ 1.5 times the unit weight (≥ 5 times the weight of the unit
if a quieter operation is required)
•The surface should be as flat and level as possible.
Installation
1. Drill the tie rod holes in the number, with the diameters and centre distances shown in the
technical catalogue.
2. Insert the tie rods into the holes and secure them with chemical anchors.
3. Remove the caps of the suction and discharge ports.
4. Place the unit on the foundation by inserting the tie rods into the holes in the plate.
5. Level the unit with a spirit level on the shaft and discharge port: the maximum permitted
tolerance is 0.2 mm/m (0.0024 in/ft).
6. Align the suction and discharge ports to their piping.
7. If necessary, insert levelling shims between the plate and the foundation.
8. Tighten the nuts on the tie rods evenly and fully.

DANGER: Explosion due to static charge
Ensure that the base plate is earthed correctly.
Reducing vibrations
The motor and the flow of liquid in the piping can generate vibrations, which may be amplified
from the possible incorrect installation of the unit and the piping. See Hydraulic connection on
page 21.
