Decoupling is an inherent feature of magnetic couplings and DOES
NOT indicate a pump failure. Decoupling should only occur when
the magnet decoupling torque has been exceeded. Decoupling can be a
safety feature, preventing inadvertent pump/motor overloads.
ASSEMBLY
If the pumphead and drive are supplied separately, they will need to be assembled prior to installation. Please refer to the
weights/dimensions drawings in this manual. If you have questions about assembling your pump to your drive, please contact your
Micropump distributor.
INSTALLATION
Pump Installation. Refer to the pump manual for pump installation details.
Motor Installation.
•
Ensure that there is adequate space for operation, inspection and maintenance.
•
Secure the pump/motor to the foundation using suitable mounting bolts. The mounting bolts should hold the drive and
pump securely.
•
If the mounting surface is hotter than 40ºC (104ºF), the motor may not be able to operate at full load without tripping the
thermal protection.
•
The foundation must be capable of supporting the combined weight of the pump and motor and provide a rigid support.
•
There is a o-ring groove designed to fit a size AS-568A No. 2-038 o-ring in the face of the motor flange.
Installation in Explosive and Fire Danger Zones.
Ensure the motor is suitable for area classification. The Model 380
is designed to meet IP55 and NEMA 4 requirements. This drive is
not explosion-proof.
Space Requirements. Refer to the illustrations on pages 14-16 for overall dimension and weight of the motor. Refer to the pump
manual for the specific space requirements of the pump.
