INTRODUCTION This Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual provides important information on safety and the proper inspection, disassembly, assembly and testing of the BJM Pumps® R & RX Series submersible pump. This manual also contains information to optimize performance and longevity of your BJM Pumps submersible pump. The submersible R Series pumps are designed to pump water. The RX Series pumps are designed to pump corrosive liquids in concentrations chemically compatible with 316SS and FKM.
SAFETY Pump installations are seldom identical. Each installation and application can vary due to many different factors. It is the owner/service mechanics responsibility to repair, service, and test to ensure that the pump integrity is not compromised according to this manual. Risk of electric shock – this pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas. Do not pump flammable, inflammable or volatile liquids. Death or serious injury will result.
INSPECTION Review all safety information before servicing pump. The following are recommended installation practices/procedures for the pump. If there are questions in regards to your specific application, contact your local BJM Pumps distributor or BJM Pumps, LLC. PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Check the pump for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Inspect the pump for any cracks, dents, damaged threads, etc. Check power cord for any cuts or damage.
PUMP INSTALLATION R & RX Series pumps have been evaluated for use with water or water based solutions. Please contact the manufacturer for additional information. Risk of electric shock. Pump models; R100, R250, R400, R400D, R400P, R750 & RX750 (115v) are supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Pump models; R1500, R15, R08, RX08SS & RX15SS do not come with electric plug connectors.
PUMP ROTATION Two ways to check the correct pump rotation: 1. By looking at the impeller; the rotation of the impeller should be counter clockwise as shown in the picture below. 2. By looking from the top of the pump. Since the impeller cannot be seen, the best way to check the rotation is to check the kick back motion of the pump when the pump just starts. The kick back motion of the pump should be counter clockwise as shown in the picture below.
PUMP OPERATION This pump is designed to handle dirty water that contains some solids. It is not designed to pump volatile or flammable liquids. Do not attempt to pump any liquids which may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure. Do not operate this pump where explosive vapors or flammable material exist. Death or Serious injury will result. TYPICAL MANUAL DEWATERING INSTALLATION NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour.
STOPPING To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode), unplug it from the power source, turn off the breaker, or turn the power source off (generator). Typical 3 phase manual control 1 TYPICAL AUTOMATIC DEWATERING INSTALLATION NOTE: Maximum recommended starts should not exceed 10 times per hour. AUTOMATIC OPERATION Float switches (wired into the pump motor or piggy-back style) are available from the factory as an option.
Note: 230V & 460V pumps do not have a plug installed. Three phase pumps need a separate control box with float(s) for automatic operation. STOPPING To stop the pump (manual and automatic mode), unplug it from the power source, turn off the breaker, or turn the power source off (generator). INTENDED METHODS OF CONNECTION Use with approved motor control that matches motor input in full load amperes. “UTILLISER UN DÉMARREAR APPROUVÉ CONVENANT AU COURANT Á PLEINE CHARGE DU MOTEUR.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied with a three prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The three prong plug must be inserted into a mating three prong grounded receptacle.
Typical 3 phase Auto Control 1 Before installing a pump, check the pump rotation to insure that wiring has been connected properly to power source, and that the green lead of power cord (See wiring diagram), is connected to a valid ground, momentarily energize the pump, observing the directions of kick back due to starting torque. Rotation is correct if kick back is in the opposite direction of rotation arrow on the pump casing.
PUMP WILL NOT RUN 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Check power supply (fuses, breaker). Reset power. Blocked impeller. Remove strainer, check and clean. Defective cable or incorrect wiring. Strainer clogged. Check and clean as necessary. Float switch tangled/obstructed. Clean and free float switch from obstruction. Float switch defective. Replace float switch. Pump overheated or temperature of liquid exceeds pump operating temperature.
More frequent inspections are required if the pump is used in a harsh environment. Preventative maintenance should be performed to reduce the chance of premature failure. Worn impellers and lip seals should be replaced. Cut or cracked power cords must be replaced. (Never operate a pump with a cut, cracked or damaged power cord.) Seal oil should be checked once per year. Maintenance should always be done when taking a pump out of service before storage.
