Bell & Gossett S14141B 70X Multiple Pump Pressure Booster Systems - Manual (Page 4)

SECTION 1 - GENERAL
1.1 PURPOSE OF MANUAL
1.1.1 This manual is furnished to acquaint the user
with some of the practical ways to install,
operate, and maintain this unit. Read it care-
fully before doing any work on your unit and
keep it handy for future reference. This manual
provides general instructions for installa-
tion, commissioning and operation to ensure
optimal performance and reliability.
1.1.2 Equipment cannot operate well without proper
care. To keep this unit at top efficiency, fol-
low the recommended installation and servic-
ing procedures outlined in this manual.
1.1.3 The control panel installed on the pressure
booster system shall have a safety instruc-
tion decal (part #S11550 shown below). If the
decal is missing or illegible contact your local
B&G representative for a replacement.
1.2 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
1.2.1 Motor must have a properly sized starter with
properly sized overload block to provide over
load and undervoltage protection. Ground
fault protection should be sized properly.
1.2.2 Refer to the motor manufacturer’s I.O.M.
(Installation, Operation & Maintenance manual) for
specific installation information.
1.2.3 Even when the motor is stopped, it should be
considered "alive" as long as its controller is
energized. Keep hands away from the output
shaft until the motor has completely stopped
and power is disconnected from the pump
controller.
1.2.4 Motor control equipment and electronic con-
trols are connected to hazardous line volt
ages. When servicing electronic controls,
there will be exposed components at or
above line potential. Extreme care should be
taken to protect against shock. Stand on an
insulating pad and make it a habit to use only
one hand when checking components.
Always use accurate test meters when check
ing electrical components. Always work with
another person in case of an emergency.
Disconnect power when performing mainte-
nance. Be sure equipment is properly grounded.
Wear safety glasses whenever working on elec-
tronic control or rotating equipment.
1.3 HANDLING
1.3.1 Care should be taken to prevent damage due
to dropping or jolting when moving the unit.
Inspect the unit thoroughly for damage upon
receipt. Transportation damage should be brought
to the carrier’s attention immediately. Ensure that
sensing lines are free of crimps and kinks.
1.3.2 The unit should be unloaded and handled by qual-
ified personnel. The unit is top heavy due to the
position of the motors. Use the motor eyebolts to
stabilize the unit while lifting to prevent overturn-
ing. Do not use the motor eyebolts to lift.
1.4 STORAGE
1.4.1 For periods of storage, the unit should be
covered to prevent corrosion and contamina-
tion from dirt. It should be stored in a clean,
dry location to prevent condensation as well
as protected from freezing. After storage,
again check that it is dry before applying
power. Specific component storage instruc-
tions must be followed in accordance with
the respective equipment manufacturer’s
recommendations.
WARNING: Make sure the area surrounding the unit
is safe. Be aware of any hazardous conditions that
can exist. Always wear protective glasses and protective
shoes when working with the unit. Do not wear loose fitting
or torn clothing. Remove all jewelry when working.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING: Motor can start automatically. Keep
hands away from output shaft until motor is com-
pletely stopped and input power is removed from the
motor control panel. Lockout main power switch while
working near the motor shaft.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DANGER: Troubleshooting live control panels exposes
personnel to hazardous voltages. Electrical trouble-
shooting must only be done by a qualified electrician.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING: Falling Objects Hazard. Eyebolts or lifting
lugs, if provided, are for lifting only the components
to which they are attached.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
CAUTION: Extreme temperatures are to be avoided.
(Below 32ºF and above 110ºF).
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR MODERATE
PERSONAL INJURY.
