To start the pump:
1.Fully open the gate valve on intake and keep the one on delivery almost closed.
2.Switch on the power and check that the motor is turning in the right direction, that is clockwise when viewed from the fan side. This check must also be performed after having fed the pump, activating the main switch with a fast start-stop sequence. If the motor is turning in the wrong direction, invert any two phase leads, after having disconnected the pump from the mains.
3.Once the hydraulic circuit has been filled with liquid, gradually open the delivery gate valve until its maximum allowed opening. The motor's energy consumption must be checked and compared with the value shown on the data plate, especially in cases where the pump has intentionally been given a reduced power motor (check the design characteristics).
4.With the pump running, check the supply voltage at the motor terminals, which must not differ from the rated value by +/- 5%.
