4.3 Dry or semi-immersed installation (fig. 7 page 127)
Dry or semi-immersed installation is permitted, for pumps without a
coolingjacket,onlywithintermittentperiodicduty(S3mode)according
to the percentage indicated on the metal plaque.
Pumpswith a suction flange canbe coupled tothe systemusing a
curved base plate.

6. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS (fig. 14 - 15 page 129-130)
All operations connecting the motor pump to the electricity supply
mustbeperformedbytechniciansqualifiedtooperate in areaswith
apotentiallyexplosiveatmosphereandinfullcompliancewithcurrent
regulations.
WARNING: To protect the power supply cable, avoid
twisting, pulling and/or accidental crushing.
Theendsofthepowersupplycablemustbeconnectedtoan

is installed in a hazardous area or to a normal electric panel suitable
fortheatmosphere inwhich it isinstalled if theconnection isfound
tobeinasafearea,alwaysinaccordancewiththeinstallationrules.
In single-phase explosion-proof pumps with a reverse capacitor
and any external capacitor circuit breakers, the capacitors are
included in the supply but they are not connected to the pump
cable as they need to be connected internally to the electric panel
certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, if being in-
stalled in a hazardous area.
Beforewiringcheckthat:

ted on the metal plaque on the pump;
• theabsorbencyindicatedonthemetalplaqueislessthanthemaxi-

• theelectriccablesarenotinanywaydamaged.
Alwaysconnectthepumptotheequipotentialearthusingthescrew

The electrical connection phase on models without a plug must be
carriedoutbyfirstconnectingtheyellow-greenearthcableandthen
the other connections.
To protect the pump motor use an adequate overload cutout suited to
theelectricalcharacteristicsshownonthemetalidentificationplaque.
Usinganammeter,checkthattheabsorbencyoftheinstalledpumpis

The operation and electrical safety of the ZENIT electric pump are
guaranteedbytheconfigurationprovidedfromthefactory.
WARNING: Anymodifications(e.g.addingapieceofcabletotheori-
ginal) can be considered a deviation of the pump characteristics and
can cause explosions.
