Installation and Operating Instructions
Model ICM/ICMP, for life grease lubrication
9330-050-en Revision 05
TM 5409 MPE/Re/Wm Page 9 Date 03/2003
1) T6: Oil lubrication with optionals necessary (oil cooling, oil mist
lubrication, contactless shaft seal, e.g. labyrinth seal, etc...)
2) T5 : Oil lubrication
3) The limit values specified for the temperature of the medium at
the pump inlet are determined for the most unfavourable case
(high speed, low flow rate, low heat capacity of the medium,
large magnetic drive ....). Under favourable operating conditions
the limit values specified may be increased by up to 10 K after
consultation with the manufacturer.
4) Consult the manufacturer for higher temperatures then 280° C.
The admissible operating temperature of the
pump is indicated in the data sheet and on
the type plate of the pump.
The observance of the temperature class T4 is guar-
anteed in the area of the rolling bearings, assuming
an ambient temperature of 40° C, grease lubrication
and proper maintenance and operating conditions.
Observance of T5 is only possible with oil lubrication,
T6 only with oil lubrication and a special design. Con-
sult the manufacturer in these cases and in the event
of ambient temperatures higher than 40° C.
2.5.7 Maintenance
For safe and reliable operation, it must be
ensured with regular inspection intervals that
the unit is properly serviced and kept in a per-
fect technical condition.
Example: Functioning of the rolling bearings. The
mode of operation and operating conditions largely
determine the actual service life that can be attained.
Regular checks of the bearings and there running
noise can prevent excess temperatures due to hot-
running bearings, collision of the outer magnet as-
sembly against the lantern or even defective bearing
seals. See Section 7.2.
If auxiliary systems (e.g. external flushing, cooling,
heating) are installed, a check must be made to see
whether monitoring facilities are required to safeguard
their operation.
2.5.8 Electric peripheral equipment
Electric peripheral equipment, e.g. pressure,
temperature and flow sensors etc. must com-
ply with the prevailing safety requirements and
explosion protection provisions.
3 Transport and storage
The pump or the unit must be transported
properly. It must be ensured that during
transport the pump/unit remains in the hori-
zontal position and does not slip out of the transport
suspension points.
A pump or motor can be suspended from the ring bolt
provided for this purpose.
The suspension points are not suitable for transport-
ing a complete unit, i.e. pump with base plate and
motor.
In this case, the slinging points for the ropes on the
base plate are to be used. See Fig. 1.
The slinging ropes must not be attached to free shaft
ends or to the ring bolt of the motor.

Directly after receipt of the goods, the consign-
ment must be checked for completeness and any
in-transit damage.
Damaged pumps must not be installed in the
plant.
When unpacking magnetic drives as single
parts, the relevant notes in Section 7.5.2
must be observed.
Handle goods carefully to prevent damage.
Flange covers serve as protection during transport
and must not be removed.
If the unit is not installed immediately after delivery, it
must be put into proper storage.
It should be stored in a dry, vibration-free room as at
constant a temperature as possible.
If magnetic drives are stored as single parts,
the relevant notes in Section 7.5.2 are to be
observed.
In the case of prolonged storage conservation
agents on machined component surfaces and packing
with a desiccant may be necessary.
