5 INSTALLATION
5.1 Unpacking
Follow the unpacking instructions on the packaging or
on the hose pump, the gearbox and the electric motor.
5.2 Inspection
Check that your delivery is correct and check it for any
transport damage. When replacing parts, check that the
delivery is correct and check these parts for any
transport damage. Refer to §
4.1.1 . Report any damage
immediately to your Bredel representative.
5.3 Installation conditions
5.3.1 Ambient conditions
Make sure that the hose pump is in an area where the
ambient temperature during operation is not lower than
-20 °C and not higher than +45 °C.
5.3.2 Setup
•
The pump materials and protective layers are
suitable for indoor setup and a protected
outdoor setup. Under certain conditions the
pump is suitable for limited outdoor setup or a
salty or aggressive atmosphere. Consult your
Bredel representative for more information.
•
Make sure that the floor surface has a
maximum slope of 10 mm per metre.
•
Make sure that there is sufficient room around
the pump to carry out the necessary
maintenance.
•
Make sure that the room is sufficiently
ventilated, so that the heat developed by the
pump and drive can be dissipated. Keep some
distance between the ventilation cover of the
electric motor and the wall to allow the supply of
cooling air.
