HOW THE PUMPS WORK
Fig. 6: Working principle of MEGATOR sliding-shoe pump
The pumping action is derived from the rotation of three or more eccentric discs, each of which
fits closely into a displacement chamber or shoe of plastic material lined with synthetic rubber.
The eccentric movement of each disc comprises horizontal and vertical components; the
horizontal motion provides the displacement, the disc reciprocating in the shoe like a piston in a
cylinder, while the vertical motion controls the entry and discharge of the liquid.
As soon as the pump starts, it creates a hydraulic pressure difference, which holds the shoes in
close contact with a flat port plate forming the division between the suction and delivery sides
of the pump. The plate has ports opposite each shoe leading respectively from the suction
branch into the discharge side of the pump. On the suction stroke, the liquid passes down
through the main cover and is drawn into the shoes through the suction ports in the plate. On
the discharge stroke, the liquid is displaced from the shoes through the discharge ports. It then
passes down through the main cover into the bottom of the body before flowing through another
passage in the main cover to the discharge branch. This arrangement helps to scavenge the
bottom of the body and prevent the accumulation of solids.
Fig. 6 illustrates the working cycle in a single shoe. Although the displacement in each shoe is
intermittent, the combined effect is a smooth continuous flow and an even turning moment.

INSTALLATION
LOCATION Choose an accessible position with ample space for dismantling and maintenance, and in
particular see that there is room for removing the main cover or covers and shoes and inspecting
the interior. See that the pump can be conveniently drained and filled. Preferably raise it above
floor level to give easier access and so that it can be drained into a receptacle.
WORKING HEADS OR PRESSURES The maximum continuous total head from all causes and the maximum total suction lift from all
causes are as given in the table below. The suction lifts are applicable to maximum listed
speeds and can be exceeded at lower speeds.
Damage will be caused by excessive total heads or suction lifts, and in case of any doubt they
should be checked by pressure and vacuum gauges. The most likely causes of excessive head
or suction lift are: -
(1) Static head (vertical height from surface of liquid on suction side to surface of liquid on
delivery side) too great.
(2) Excessive losses in piping and fittings, due to too small diameter, sharp elbows,
restrictive fittings, etc. See under Piping (Page 14)
(3) Obstruction, due to solids, blocked or buried strainer, flattening of suction, or internal
damage to hose creating a flap which blocks the bore when pump is running.
For efficient operation, the pump should always operate against a total head of not less than 10
feet (3 metres), to ensure effective seating of the shoes in the port plate.
13 of 86
ROTATION AND BRANCHES As indicated by the arrows on the pump, the suction branch is at the right-hand end of the pump
and the delivery at the left-hand end, when facing the front of the pump. The standard assembly
is with the drive at the left-hand (delivery) end.
The direction of rotation of the pump is with top of pulley or coupling moving towards the
front. This means that, with standard assembly, the motor must be wired for “clockwise
rotation facing driving end of motor” in the case of belt-driven sets and “anti-clockwise facing
driving end of motor” in the case of direct-coupled sets. Before testing the rotation of newly
wired set, make sure that the pump is filled with liquid.
See under Starting and Running (Page 21).
The rotation of three-phase A.C. motors can be reversed by changing over any two of the three
mains wires. Single-phase and D.C. motors are reversed by changing the connections on the
motor. There is generally an instruction diagram inside the terminal box.
The pump can be assembled, if more convenient, with the drive at the suction end. The above
instructions for rotation of prime mover are then reversed.
BALL BEARINGS All H pumps except H300 and H400 are fitted with sealed ball bearings, which are lubricated
for life in the factory and have no provision for further lubrication. The bearings of H300 and
H400 pumps are enclosed in housings with shaft seals and nipples for grease-gun lubrication.
The inner ring of the bearing is locked on the shaft by an eccentric locking collar, with a socket
screw in the collar for additional security. The removal and reassembly of the bearings is
described under Removal and Re-Assembly of Rotor (Page 25).
ELECTRIC MOTORS
See manufacturers manual (Page 40)
14 of 86
SWITCHGEAR
Every electrically driven pump must be fitted with a starter with suitable overload releases. The
releases should be set to the full load current of the motor, unless the starter manufacturer
instructs otherwise. Adjustable time lags should be set to the maximum. Starters should be of
direct-on-line type rated for use with motors having a starting torque equivalent to 150% full
load torque, and incorporate single-phase prevention. Fuses should be of the cartridge type and
rated to the maker’s recommendation to carry the starting currents (3 to 5 times full load current
in the case of single-phase motors and 6 to 8 times in the case of three –phase motors started
direct-on-line).
PIPING
The piping should be as short and direct as possible, easy bends or round elbows being used and
sharp elbows and tees avoided. The size of pipe should not be smaller than the pump branches
and for long pipes should generally be larger. Unless the pipe run is very simple, the actual pipe
losses should be estimated, so as to check the total head on the pump, the advice and assistance
of Megator engineers being sought if required. It is quite common for the pipe losses to be
greater than the static head. The piping must be accurately cut and fitted, so that it can be
connected up to the pump branches without putting and strain on the pump or on the pipe joints.
Particular care must be taken to make the joints in the suction line absolutely tight, in order to
avoid loss of capacity or difficulty in priming due to air leaks.
HOSE Suction hose requires wire reinforcement to prevent it from collapsing under atmospheric
pressure. This reinforcement should be completely embedded in the material of the hose
(forming “smooth bore” hose) or, failing this, should be “semi-embedded”, that is, completely
covered but leaving the inside of the hose somewhat corrugated. “Internally armoured” hose
should not be used, as the wire greatly increases resistance to flow and encourages clogging.
Smooth bore suction hose is generally suitable for low-pressure delivery also. Externally
armoured delivery hose should be avoided, as good quality hose itself resists external wear
satisfactorily, and the armouring distorts and restricts the hose if accidentally crushed. Hose
must be of a suitable type to take the fittings, or obtained in the lengths in which it is to be used
with plain moulded ends.
WARNING – Ensure hose is suitable for fluid, pressure, temp, and location
SUCTION STRAINER The suction pipe must be fitted with a strainer of ample size, with holes not exceeding 3/16 in.
(5mm) diameter. The total area of the holes should be about three times the sectional area of the
suction pipe. The Megator pump primes itself so easily that there is generally no point in fitting
a foot-valve, which merely adds to the pipe losses.
A Dolphin Strainer is strongly recommended. This draws from just under the surface, so avoiding
abrasive matter and saving wear. Even under “snore” conditions and where there is insufficient
water to float it, the Dolphin Strainer reduces to a minimum the risk of the suction becoming
choked or buried.
15 of 86
VACUUM LIMITING VALVE
The Vacuum limiting valve is a simple mechanical
device for eliminating pump cavitation when the
pump is running with a choked or closed suction
line, it will also reduce the starting torque of the
pump, especially on the large L and H300 to 400
pumps when working with high suction lifts.

BYPASS RELIEF VALVE A bypass relief valve, that is to say, a relief valve discharging back to the suction side of the
pump, is a neat and convenient arrangement for many applications. It has the disadvantage,
however, that, if it leaks or is prevented from seating by foreign matter, it forms a connection
from the discharge back to the suction and may prevent the pump from priming. It may also
cause overheating if operated continuously for any length of time, as the same small volume of
liquid is continuously recirculated. The ordinary relief valve, discharging to atmosphere or
piped back to the source of supply, avoids these disadvantages and, as a relief valve is most
commonly fitted to protect the pump against faulty operation, it is an advantage for the
discharge to be visible.

STARTING AND RUNNING
DRIVE ASSEMBLY – COUPLINGS
Fenaflex ATEX coupling
Installation and replacement of the flexible tyre can be carried out quickly without disturbing
the coupled shafts even in inaccessible installations. The taper lock flanges, by their versatile
design can always be positioned correctly in order that the desired axial distance between
flanges is obtained to alleviate possible axial reaction. The elastomeric tyre is highly flexible,
which gives excellent shock absorption and smooth running.
PRELIMINARY FILLING
The pump must NEVER be run, even for a few revolutions, in a dry condition.
It should be fitted with water, or with the liquid that is to be pumped, as soon as it is installed
and before the motor is wired. The liquid is essential for lubrication. It also acts as a sealing
medium and the priming may be affected if the pump is only partially filled. Roughening or
gouging out of the ends of the shoe cavity in the path of the rotor is proof of dry running.
This filling is only necessary on first starting up or after the pump has been drained or has been
standing for some weeks, as the pump is constructed so that it normally retains sufficient liquid
when standing. There is not, of course, any need to fill the suction piping.
No harm will result if the pump exhausts the supply of liquid and is left for a considerable time
with a dry suction and therefore pumping air. Megator pumps do not require a bypass to deal
with such conditions.
FIRST STARTING Before first starting up after installation or overhaul, the pump should be turned round by hand,
after filling, to make sure that everything is clear, and, in the case of newly wired motors, the
direction of rotation should then be checked. The pump is always somewhat stiff to turn at the
start, owing to the nature of the rubber surfaces of the shoes, but when it is running the surfaces
are lubricated by a film of liquid and the pump becomes quite free.
REGULATION OF CAPACITY If it is desired to reduce the capacity of the pump, this can be done by reducing the speed or by
bypassing a portion of the output back to the suction. On no account attempt to reduce the flow
by throttling with a valve, as this merely increases the pressure on the pump and may result in a
burst or damaged pump or an overloaded prime mover.
22 of 86
FROST If the pump is left standing in frosty weather, drain it by means of the drain plug in the main
cover. Remove the filler plug at the same time to draw attention to the need for filling the pump
again before starting. An oil-immersed, thermostatically-controlled heater is available as an
optional extra for all H pumps.
FAILURE TO PRIME
See troubleshooting. (Page 29)
NOTE: WHEN PUMPING A HIGH VISCOSITY MEDIUM, THE PUMP SPEED MUST
BE REDUCED ACCORDING TO THE MATERIAL’S VISCOSITY TO PREVENT
CAVITATION.

REMOVAL AND REASSEMBLY OF SHOES First drain the pump by means of the drain plug in the main cover, at the same time removing
the filler plug ready for refilling before starting up again. Remove the main cover or covers and
the shoes can then be taken out.
Although the shoes are interchangeable and will work either way up, they should be marked for
identification before they are taken out and put back in the same position, and the same way up,
so as to take advantage of the bedding-down that takes place when running.
The shoes, which are lined with synthetic rubber, are initially a push fit on the rotor discs. They
will still give a good performance when comparatively loose, but should be replaced if there is
appreciable clearance on the disc diameter. If a new shoe is loose on the rotor disc, it indicates
wear of the rotor.
When reassembling, make sure that the cover gaskets are clean and undamaged. If the shoes are
a loose fit and tend to fall off the discs, they can be rested on the bottom edge of the opening in
the body, leaning against the discs, and when the cover is put on it will push them into position.
24 of 86
ADJUSTMENT OF SHOE CLEARANCE There is only a small clearance between the shaft and the inner edge of the shoes, which are
thus kept close up to the port plate. As soon as the pump starts working, the shoes are held
tightly against the port plate by the pressure created by the pumping action. If wear occurs
between the port plate and the bases of the shoes, it is automatically taken up by the pressure. A
condition of wear may eventually be reached, however, when the clearance is so increased that
the shoes have difficulty in building up the requisite pressure to start with. The first symptoms
of this condition are likely to be sluggishness in priming or reduced or irregular flow due to one
at least of the shoes not being properly in action.
Also, where the pump is operating with a suction lift and discharging through a delivery pipe
open to atmosphere, there is a tendency for the water to siphon out and partially empty the body
when the pump stops. With normal shoe clearance the pump will pick up and prime under
these conditions, but if shoe clearance becomes excessive, the pump may fail to prime.
To deal with the above conditions, provision is made for taking up the clearance very simply by
removing one of the main cover gaskets. Care must be taken however that the clearance is not
eliminated altogether and the shoes actually gripped between the port plate and the shaft.
It is generally possible to feel that there is a clearance by turning the pump backwards and
forwards by hand, as there is a small amount of idle motion before the shoes are checked by the
port plate and the movement becomes stiffer due to the rotor turning inside them. If it is
impracticable to feel the clearance in this way, it is quite a simple matter to check it by
measuring the parts concerned.
GASKETS
If any gaskets are damaged in dismantling, they must be replaced with new ones. It is essential
that the material of end and port plate gaskets should be 1/32 in. (0.75mm) thick, so as to
preserve the correct clearances in the pump assembly. It is best to obtain a few sets of spare
gaskets from the pump makers and keep them in stock.
SHAFT SEALS
The shaft seals are self-adjusting and normally operate without any leakage or drip and require
no attention. Although the normal life of the seals is very long, it is advisable to keep a spare
set in stock. Any sign of leakage at this point should receive immediate attention.
When handling the seals, the utmost care must be taken to protect the face ring and seat from
damage or distortion and to keep the mating surfaces absolutely clean and dry. On no account
put oil on them. New parts should be kept in their wrappings until the moment of fitting.
The method of access to the seals is described under Removal and re-assembly of rotor (see
below)
25 of 86
REMOVAL AND RE-ASSEMBLY OF ROTOR AND/OR SHAFT
SEALS H75, H100, H125, H150, H200
Remove main cover and shoes as previously described. Remove pulley or coupling and bearing
covers. Slacken socket screws in bearing locking collars and, using the socket screw key as a
bar, undo the locking collars by turning them in direction opposite to the rotation of the pump.
If a collar is too stiff to undo with the key, it can be freed by a sharp blow with hammer and pin
punch in the hole provided. It is important to see that the collar does not suddenly slacken and
rotate far enough to lock in the opposite direction, as further hammer blows would then only
increase the locking effect.
If a small burr has been raised on the shaft by the socket screw, it should be removed before
starting to remove the bearing housing.
One of the bearing housings should be removed with the bearing in it, using the forcing screws
and taking care not to damage or soil the working faces with the shaft seal. The rotor can then
be withdrawn at the same end, leaving the other bearing housing and bearing in place.
To reassemble the pump, first mount the seals on the rotor shaft and the seal seats in their
mounting rings in the recesses in the bearing housings, taking care not to damage or soil the
working surfaces of the face rings and seats or to get oil or other liquid on them. Before
mounting the seals on the shaft, smear the shaft with a little light grease or heavy oil, which will
allow the oil-resisting synthetic rubber bellows to slide easily into the correct position when all
the parts are bolted up. The bellows should not be compressed, but left in the normal extended
condition, and when the assembly is completed the parts of the seal will take up their correct
positions. Then put the bearings into the bearing housings, fit one bearing housing, with
bearing, to the body and insert the rotor shaft into that bearing, again taking care to protect the
working faces of the seals. Then fit the other bearing housing to the body, threading the bearing
on to the rotor shaft.
Locate outer face of drive-end bearing collar flush with shoulder on shaft (see Fig. 7) and lock
out by turning in the direction of rotation and tightening the socket screw. After locking, make
sure that the face of the collar is still flush with the shoulder. Fit drive-end-bearing cover,
which locates the shaft axially. Locate outer face of outer end bearing locking collar flush with
end of shaft and lock by turning in direction of rotation and tightening socket screw. Fit bearing
cover and pulley or coupling.
H300, H400
These larger pumps have sleeves in the end covers, in which the seal collars on the rotor rest
before the ball bearings are fitted or after they have been removed. This facilitates both
dismantling and assembly of the pump and permits attention to the seals after removing the ball
bearings, without disturbing the rotor, main covers or shoes.

REMOVAL AND RE-ASSEMBLY OF ROTOR AND/OR SHAFT
SEALS Cont.….
To remove the ball bearings, take off pulley or coupling and bearing covers. Slacken
socket screws in bearing locking collars and, using the socket screw key as a bar, undo
the locking collars by turning them in direction opposite to the rotation of the pump. If
a collar is too stiff to undo with the key, it can be freed by a sharp blow with a hammer
and pin punch in the hole provided. It is important to see that the collar does not
suddenly slacken and rotate far enough to lock in the opposite direction, as further
hammer blows would then only increase the locking effect. If a small burr has been
raised on the shaft by the socket screw, it should be removed before starting to remove
the bearing housing. The two bearing housings can then be removed with the bearings
in them, leaving the rotor resting in the end covers.
The seal plates, with the seal seats in them, can next be removed, after which the rest of the seal
assemblies can be pulled off the shaft using forcing screws screwed into the backing plates. A
little oil or grease on the shaft makes the synthetic bellows slide off more easily.
If the rotor is to be removed, the main cover has to be taken off and the shoes extracted. One
end cover should be removed, using the forcing screws, and the rotor slid out.
To reassemble the pump, enter seal collar of rotor into the end cover already secured to the
body, raise the free end of the rotor and thread the other end cover over it. Then bolt this end
cover up to the body. See that the end cover gaskets are undamaged. The seals with stainless
steel backing plates should then be fitted on the shaft, a little light grease or heavy oil being
used to make the bellows slide easily along the shaft. Fit the seal seats into their mounting rings
into the seal plates and fasten them up to the end covers. When handling the seals, the
greatest care must be taken not to damage or soil the mating surfaces of the face ring and
seat or to get oil or other liquid on them. Insert the ball bearings into their housings and
thread them on to the shaft. In the case of the H300 and H400 pumps, the bearing housing must
be filled about two-thirds full of water-repellent lime-based ball bearing grease (some being
worked well into the ball cage) and the plates and seal rings fitted. The bearing of the L300 and
L400 pumps are sealed and lubricated for life in the factory. Locate outer face of drive-end
bearing cover, which locates the shaft axially. Locate outer face of outer end bearing locking
collar flush with end of shaft and lock by turning in direction of rotation and tightening socket
screw. Fit bearing cover and pulley or coupling.

Fig. 7: To ensure correct location of the rotor, the bearings of all pumps must be locked on the shaft with
the collars flush with the shoulder and the end of the shaft respectively.
PREMATURE REPLACEMENT OF PORT PLATE OR SHOES Visual inspection is not the correct procedure to determine if replacement of shoes or port plate
is required. The nature of the sliding shoe pump dictates that the performance of the pump
determines if replacement is necessary.

INSPECTION INTERVALS
Maintenance inspections A maintenance schedule includes these
types of inspections:
• Routine maintenance
• Routine inspections
• Three-month inspections
• Annual inspections
Shorten the inspection intervals
appropriately if the pumped fluid is
abrasive or corrosive
Routine maintenance Perform these tasks whenever you perform
routine maintenance:
• Inspect shoes for wear
• Inspect port plate for wear
• Inspect rotor for wear
Routine inspections Perform these tasks whenever you check
the pump during routine inspections:
• Check for unusual noise,
vibration, and bearing
temperatures.
• Check the pump and piping for
leaks.
• Ensure that there are no leaks
from the mechanical seal.
Three-month inspections Perform these tasks every three months:
• Check that the foundation and
the hold-down bolts are tight.
• Check the fluid level in the
pump, if the pump has been left
idle, and refill as required.
• Grease bearings (H300 & H400
pump only)
• Grease more often if there are
adverse atmospheric or other
conditions that might
contaminate or break down the
grease
Annual inspections Perform these inspections one time each
year:
• Check the pump capacity.
• Check the pump pressure.
• Check pump suction.
• Check the pump power.
If the pump performance does not satisfy your process requirements, and the process requirements have
not changed, then perform these steps:
1. Disassemble the pump.
2. Inspect it.
NOTE: CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO AVIOD POTENTIAL
HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A RISK OF EXPLOSION
The responsibility for compliance with maintenance instructions is with the plant operator.
To avoid potential explosion hazards during maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting materials used
must not give rise to sparking or adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there is a risk from such
tools or materials; maintenance must be conducted in a safe area.

TROUBLESHOOTING
INTRODUCTION
The pump has a single function: to pump liquid within its constraint. The following troubleshooting
techniques are designed to determine the nature and location of any difficulty the pump may incur in
obtaining its duty and what action to take.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the table shown as a guide to troubleshooting for the pump unit.
PREMATURE REPLACEMENT OF PORT PLATE AND / OR SHOES
Visual inspection is not the correct procedure to determine if replacement of shoes or port plate is
required. The nature of the sliding shoe pump dictates that the performance of the pump determines if
replacement is necessary.
NOISE AND VIBRATION
During normal operation, the pump unit may be noisy and vibrate. Noise and vibration are not criteria for
shoe or port plate replacement. To determine if replacement is needed the performance criterion should
be used.
PUMP BEARING AND SHAFT SEAL
Do not repair bearings or shaft seals. They will require replacement. A shaft seal failure will not
necessarily mean that bearing replacement is required. If leaking fluid is discovered during operational
maintenance, this will indicate that the shaft seal is scored or broken. Replace seals as necessary. During
the inspection of the shaft seals or normal operation of the pump, the bearings are found to be noisy or run
rough, replace bearings as necessary.
PUMP UNIT TROUBLESHOOTING
Motor will not start
Electrical supply – Phase
Failure due to blown fuse.
Trace and remove fault- Renew

4 Preparing for use
WARNING Use lifting eyes The machine must only be transported and lifted using the lifting eyes, in a position that is appropriate for its type of construction. Otherwise, it could fall over or slip in the lifting tackle. This can result in death, serious injury, or material damage. ● Use all the lifting eyes on the machine. ● Any eyes that are screwed in must be tightly fastened. ● Eyebolts must be screwed in right up to their supporting surface.
● If necessary, use suitable, sufficiently-sized transport equipment such as lifting straps (EN1492-1) and lashing straps
(EN12195-2).
WARNING Suspended transport If several items of transport material are used for fastening, two straps must be able to carry the whole load. ● Use additional, suitable means of support for transport and during installation.
● Secure the support equipment to prevent it from slipping.
Storage time Turn the shafts 1x every year to avoid bearing brinelling. Prolonged storage periods reduce the useful life
of the bearing grease (aging).
Open bearings
● For open bearings e.g. 1Z, check the state of the bearing grease over 12 months.
● Replace the grease if it can be identified that the grease has lost oil content or has become dirty (ingress of
condensation leads to consistency changes of the grease).
Closed bearings ● For closed bearings, replace the DE and NDE bearings after a storage time of 48 months

5.4 Electromagnetic compatibility
Note If the torque levels are very unequal (e.g. when a reciprocating compressor is being driven), a non - sinusoidal machine current will be induced whose harmonics can have an impermissible effect on the supply system and cause impermissible interference emissions as a result.
Note Converter
● If operated with a frequency converter, the emitted interference varies in strength, depending on the
design of the converter (type, interference suppression measures, manufacturer).
● Prevent the limit values stipulated by EN / IEC 61000-6-3 for the drive system (consisting of the machine and converter) from being exceeded.
● You must observe the EMC information from the manufacturer of the converter.
● The most effective method of shielding is to conductively connect a shielded machine supply cable to
the metal terminal box of the machine (with a metal screw connection) over a large surface area.
● On machines with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC thermistors), disturbance voltages caused by the converter may occur on the sensor cable.
5.5 Balancing
CAUTION Safety precautions ● The general touch protection measures for drive output elements must be observed. ● Output elements may only be attached or withdrawn using the correct equipment.
● The feather keys are only secured against falling out during shipping. If you commission a machine without an
output element, the feather keys must be secured to prevent them from being thrown out.
The rotors are balanced dynamically. The balancing quality corresponds to vibration severity grade "A" for the complete machine as standard. The optional vibration severity grade "B" is indicated on the rating plate. The declaration regarding the type of featherkey for balancing is generally marked on the rating plate
and optionally on the face of the shaft end.
Designation:
● As a standard measure, balancing is carried out dynamically with a half featherkey (code "H") in accordance with ISO 8821.
● "F" means balancing with a whole featherkey (optional version).
● "N" means balancing without a featherkey (optional version).
Note Measures conforming to ISO 10816 must be taken in order to compensate any offset between
electrical machines and driven machines. The foundation must be designed according to DIN 4024.

6 Electrical connection
WARNING Note the following safety information before connecting-up the machine: ● Only qualified and trained personnel should carry out work on the machine while it is stationary. ● Disconnect the machine from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being reconnected. This also
applies to auxiliary circuits, e.g. anti-condensation heating. ● Check that the machine really is in a no-voltage condition. ● Establish a safe protective conductor connection before starting any work.
● If the incoming power supply system displays any deviations from the rated values in terms of voltage,
frequency, curve form or symmetry, such deviations will increase the temperature and influence electromagnetic compatibility.
WARNING Line supply with non-grounded neutral point Operating the machine on a line supply system with a non-grounded neutral point is only permitted over short time intervals that occur rarely, e.g. the time leading to a fault being eliminated (ground fault of a cable, EN 60034-1).
The following features make this type of electrical connection different from that for standard machines:
● Maintain the area A in EN / IEC 60034-1 (VDE 0530-1) (±5 % voltage or ±2 % frequency deviation,
waveform, line supply symmetry) so that the temperature rise remains within the permissible limits.
● Larger deviations from the rated data may result in electrical machines heating up to impermissible levels. This information must be specified on the rating plate. Under no circumstances exceed the limits!
● Protect every machine with type of protection increased safety "e" in accordance with EN / IEC
60079-14 against an inadmissible temperature rise using a current-dependent, delayed circuit breaker with phase failure protection and asymmetry detection corresponding to EN / IEC 60947 or using an equivalent device in all phases.
● For machines with type of protection increased safety "e", select the overcurrent device with current-
dependent delayed trip so that the tripping time, which should be taken from the characteristic of the switch for the ratio IA / IN of the machine to be protected, is no longer than the safe-locked rotor time tE. Take the ratio IA / IN as well as the safe-locked rotor time tE from the rating plate. Set the protective device to the rated current. Use a certified tripping unit in accordance with RL 94/9/EC For machines with increased safety "e" type of protection, in the event of a locked rotor the protective device must disconnect within the tE time specified for the relevant temperature class. Protect electrical machines for heavy duty starting (acceleration time > 1.7 x tE time) according to the specifications of the EC-type examination certificate using a starting monitoring function. Direct monitoring of the winding temperature is permissible as a means of thermal machine
protection, provided that this is certified and specified on the rating plate.
● With pole-changing machines, separate, interlocked protective devices are required for each speed step. Devices with an EC-type examination certificate are recommended.

7 Commissioning 7.1 Insulation resistance
WARNING Working on electrical power installations Only appropriately trained personnel may carry out this work. Before starting commissioning, install all covers that are designed to prevent active or rotating parts from being touched, or which are necessary to ensure correct air guidance and thus effective cooling.
WARNING Hazardous voltage at the terminals Dangerous voltages are sometimes present on the terminals during and immediately after measurement of the winding insulation resistance. Contact with these can result in death, serious injury or material damage. If any power cables are connected, check to make sure line supply voltage cannot be connected. Once you have measured the insulation resistance, discharge the winding by connecting to the ground potential
Checking the insulation resistance
NOTICE
The insulation resistance needs to be checked prior to start-up and again after any extended periods of storage or periods during which the equipment is not in operation. Before you begin measuring the insulation resistance, please read the operating manual for the insulation resistance meter you are going to use. Disconnect any main-circuit cables that are connected to the terminals before measuring the insulation resistance.
Note If the critical insulation resistance is less than or equal to this value, the windings must be dried or, if the fan
is removed, cleaned thoroughly and dried. Please note that the insulation resistance of dried, clean windings is lower than that of warm windings. The
insulation resistance can only be properly assessed after conversion to the reference temperature of 25 °C.
Note
If the measured value is close to the critical value, you must check the insulation resistance at
suitably frequent intervals.
Measuring the insulation resistance
1. Before you begin measuring the insulation resistance, please read the operating manual for the insulation resistance meter you are going to use.
2. Disconnect any main circuit cables from the terminals before measuring the insulation resistance. 3. Where possible, measure the insulation resistance of the winding with respect to the motor enclosure when
the winding temperature is between 20 ... 30 °C. Different insulation resistance values apply for other temperatures.
4. When measuring, wait until the final resistance value is reached. This is reached after approximately one minute. Then read off the insulation resistance.

Limit values of the stator winding insulation resistance
The following table indicates the measuring circuit voltage and the limit values for the minimum insulation resistance and the critical insulation resistance of the stator winding.
.
Table 7-1 Insulation resistance of the stator unwinding at 25 °C
Rated voltage Urated< 2 kV
Measuring circuit voltage 500 V
Minimum insulation resistance for new, cleaned or repaired windings 10 MΩ
Critical specific insulation resistance after a long operating time 0,5 MΩ / kV
Note the following: ● 7.2 Measures
● If the measurements are performed at winding temperatures ≠ 25 °C, convert the measured value to the reference temperature of 25 °C in order to be able to compare the values with the table above.
– The insulation resistance halves every time the temperature rises by 10 K. – The resistance doubles every time the temperature falls by 10 K.
● Dry, new windings have a typical insulation resistance of more than 100 ... 2000 MΩ depending on the
winding size, design and rated voltage. An insulation resistance value close to the minimum value could be due to moisture and/or dirt accumulation.
● During operation, the insulation resistance of the windings can fall to the critical insulation resistance due
to ambient and operational influences. The critical insulation resistance value for a winding temperature of
25 °C can be calculated by multiplying the rated voltage (kV) by the specific critical resistance value (0,5
MΩ / kV). Example: Critical resistance for rated voltage UN = 690 V: 690 V x 0,5
MΩ / kV = 0,345 MΩ Note
Critical insulation resistance reached or fallen below If the critical insulation resistance is reached or fallen below, this can result in damage to the insulation
or voltage flashovers.
● Contact your Siemens Service Center.
● If the measured value is close to the critical value, you must check the insulation resistance at suitably frequent intervals.

● The machine has been assembled and aligned correctly.
● The machine has been connected so that it rotates in the direction specified.
● The operating conditions match the data specified on the rating plate.
● The bearings have been lubricated as appropriate for the version used. Rolling-contact bearing machines which have been in storage for more than 24 months have been relubricated.
● Any supplementary machine monitoring equipment has been connected correctly and is functioning as it
should. 7.2 Measures
● For versions with bearing thermometers, the bearing temperatures must be checked during the machine's first period of operation. The warning and shutdown values are set on the monitoring device.
● Appropriately configured control and speed monitoring functions ensure that the machine cannot exceed
the permissible speeds specified on the rating plate.
● The output elements have the correct settings for their type (e.g. alignment and balancing of couplings, belt forces in the case of a belt drive, tooth forces and tooth face clearance in the case of toothed-wheel power output, radial and axial clearance in the case of coupled shafts).
● The minimum insulation resistance and minimum clearance values have been adhered to. ● The grounding
and equipotential bonding connections have been established correctly.
● All fixing screws, connection elements, and electrical connections have been tightened to the specified torques.
● Lifting eyes that were screwed in have been removed following installation or secured to prevent them
becoming loose.
● The rotor can turn without coming into contact with the stator.
● All touch protection measures for both moving and live parts have been implemented.
● In cases where the shaft extension is not being used and is, therefore, exposed, it has been covered and the feather key has been secured to prevent it from being thrown out.
● If being used, the external fan is ready for operation and connected so that it rotates in the direction specified.
● The flow of cooling air is not obstructed.
● If a brake is being used, it is functioning correctly.
● The specified mechanical limit speed n max is adhered to. If the design of the machine requires the converter to be assigned in a particular way, the relevant
information will be provided on the rating plate or an additional label.
Note It may be necessary to perform additional checks and tests in accordance with the specific situation on site.
Measures for start-up
After installation or inspections, the following measures are recommended for normal start-up of
the machines:
● Start the machine without a load; to do this, close the motor starter protector and do not switch the machine off prematurely. You should limit how often you switch the machine off while it is starting up and still running at a slow speed, for checking the direction of rotation or the required dimensions, for example. Allow the machine to run to a standstill before switching it back on again.
32 www.lammers.de Subject to change without prior notice! V1.01 – SK052013 12.07.2016

Explosion-protected Motors Operating Instructions
● Check the mechanical operation for noises or vibrations at the bearings and bearing end shields.
● If the motor does not run smoothly and/or there are any abnormal noises, switch it off and determine the cause as it slows down.
● If mechanical operation improves immediately after the machine is switched off, then the cause is magnetic
or electrical. If mechanical operation does not improve immediately after switching the machine off, then
the cause is mechanical, such as an imbalance in the electrical machines or in the driven machine,
inadequate alignment of the machine set, operation of the machine with the system resonating (system =
machine + base frame + foundation, etc.).
● If there are no problems with the machine's mechanical operation, switch on any cooling devices that are being used and continue to monitor the machine for a while during no-load operation.
● If it runs perfectly, connect a load. Check that it runs smoothly, and read off and document the values for
voltage, current and power. As far as possible, read off and document the corresponding values for the driven machine as well.
WARNING The vibration values encountered during operation comply with ISO 10816 (otherwise the machine could be damaged or destroyed).
● Monitor and document the temperatures of the bearings, windings, etc. until the system reaches a steady
state, in as much as this is possible with the available measuring instruments.
Measures to take when commissioning explosion-proof machines After installation or inspections, the following measures are recommended for normal start-up of the
machines:
● Start the machine without a load; to do this, close the motor starter protector and do not switch the machine off prematurely.
● You should limit how often you switch the machine off while it is starting up and still running at a slow speed,
for checking the direction of rotation or the required dimensions, for example.
● Allow machines to reach a standstill before switching them back on.

Explosion-protected Motors Operating Instructions 7.3.1 Sicherheitshinweise für explosionsgeschützte Maschinen im Betrieb
DANGER Explosion hazard
This electrical equipment is not suitable for hybrid explosive environments.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Usage in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion caused by both gas and dust is prohibited.
Only install machines with type of protection flameproof enclosure "d", increased safety "e", and machines for Zone 2 in hazardous areas, according to the regulations laid down by the responsible supervisory authority. They are responsible for determining the hazard level of each area (division into zones). Layers of dust on machines for Zone 21 and Zone 22 must – under no circumstances – be higher than 5 mm.
● If there are no other specifications in the EC-type examination certificate or on the rating plate regarding
operating mode and tolerance, electrical machines are designed for continuous duty and normal startup procedures that are performed infrequently and do not result in excessive temperature rise. Only use these machines for the operating mode specified on the rating plate.
● Measures for maintaining the temperature class:
For S1 line supply operation, a function-tested, current-dependent protective device that monitors all three phase conductors provides sufficient protection for the machine. This protective device is set to the rated current and must switch off machines with 1.2x the rated current within 2 hours or less. Do not switchoff for 1.05-fold or smaller rated current. Pole-changing machines require a separate switch for each number of poles. If an anticondensation heating system is available, it may only be switched on when the machines are not in operation. For S2 to S9 line supply operation, machines with type of protection Flameproof Enclosure "d" must be
equipped with at least three temperature sensors (one per phase), a temperature sensor in the gland
plate and with a suitable electronic switchoff device with a temperature sensor.
7.3.2 Stoppages
Overview If the machine remains out of service for an extended period of time (> 1 month), it should be commissioned
regularly (around once a month) or, at the very least, the rotor should be turned. Please refer to the
instructions in the section titled "Switching on" before recommissioning the machine. If a rotor locking
device has been fitted to the machine, you must remove it before the rotor starts to turn.
NOTICE
If the machine is to be out of service for a period in excess of 12 months, you must take suitable anti-corrosion, mothballing, packaging, and drying measures.

8.1.1 Repainting
WARNING Explosion danger caused by incorrect painting The paint coat can become electrostatically charged where there is a thick coat. Electrostatic discharges can occur. There is a risk of explosion if potentially explosive mixtures are also present at this moment. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
You must comply with one of the following requirements when you repaint painted surfaces: ● Limit the total paint coating thickness in accordance with the explosion protection group:– IIA, IIB: Total
paint coating thickness ≤ 2 mm
– IIC: Overall coating thickness ≤ 0.330 mm for motors of group II (gas) ● Limit the surface
resistance of the paint used: – IIA, IIB, IIC, III: Surface resistance ≤ 1 GΩ for motors of groups II and III (gas and dust)
● Breakdown voltage ≤ 4 kV for explosion group III (dust only)
● An overall coating thickness of > 120 µm is inadmissible for processes which generate strong charges.
8.2 Regreasing (optional) General
As a standard feature, the machines have rolling-contact bearings which are permanently lubricated with grease (UNIREX N3, made by ESSO). A regreasing device is possible as an option. In this case, you can find information about relubrication intervals, quantities and types of grease, and, if required, additional data on the rating plate or lubricant plate.
Note
Do not mix different types of grease!
Prolonged storage periods reduce the useful life of the bearing grease. Check the condition of the grease if the equipment has been in storage for more than 12 months. If the grease is found to have lost oil content or to be contaminated, the machine must be immediately
8.3 Cleaning relubricated before commissioning. For information on permanently-greased bearings, please refer to
the section titled Bearings (Page 54).
Note Regreasing 1. Clean the grease nipples at the drive end and non-drive end.
2. Press in the type and quantity of grease specified (see rating/lubricant plate data).
● Please observe the information on the rating and lubricant plates. ● Regreasing should be carried out when the machine is running (max. 3600 rpm)!
The bearing temperature rises sharply at first, then drops to the normal value again when the excess
grease is displaced out of the bearing.

Explosion-protected Motors Operating Instructions
8.3 Cleaning 8.3.1 Safety instructions for cleaning
Cleaning To ensure problem-free machine cooling, the air ducts (ventilation grilles, channels, cooling fins, tubes)
must be free of pollution.
DANGER Explosion hazard
It is forbidden to clean the machine in an explosive atmosphere! This can result in death,
serious injury or material damage. Surfaces can become statically charged and discharge to ignite potentially explosive atmospheres.
8.3.2 Cleaning
Cleaining the greasing channels and used grease chambers
The used grease collects outside each bearing in the used grease chamber of the outer bearing cap. When
replacing bearings, remove the used grease.
Note You have to separate the active parts of the bearings to replace the grease that is in the greasing channel.
Cleaning the cooling air passages
Regularly clean the cooling air passages through which the ambient air flows, e.g. using dry compressed air.
Note Never direct compressed air in the direction of the shaft outlet or machine openings.
In the case of machines with textile fan covers, regularly remove fluff balls, fabric remnants, and similar
types of contamination (particularly at the air passage opening between the fan cover and cooling fins of the
machine enclosure) to ensure that the cooling air can flow without obstruction.
Note The frequency of the cleaning intervals depends on the local degree of contamination.
WARNING Particularly when carrying out cleaning using compressed air, make sure you use suitable extraction equipment and wear personal protective gear (safety goggles, respiratory filter, etc.).

8.4 Bearings
Take the bearing used up to frame size 90 only for special versions, and generally for frame size 100
and higher from the rating plate.
Bearing lifetime Prolonged storage periods reduce the useful lifetime of the bearing grease. In the case of
permanently lubricated bearings, this leads to a shorter bearing lifetime. Bearing or grease replacement is recommended after a storage time of 12 months, for longer than four
years, replace the bearings or grease.
8.5 Dismantling
Replacing bearings
Recommended interval after which bearings are to be replaced under normal operating conditions:

Ambient temperature Principle of operation Bearing replacement intervals
40° C Horizontal coupling operation 40 000 h
40° C With axial and radial forces 20 000 h
Note
Special operating conditions Examples of factors that can reduce operating hours are vertical machine installation, high vibrational
and impact loads, frequent reversing, higher ambient temperature, higher speeds, etc.
Note ● Do not reuse bearings that have been removed.
● Remove any existing contaminated old grease from the bearing shield!
● Replace old grease with new grease!
● Replace the shaft seals when the bearings are replaced.
● Lightly grease the contact surfaces of the sealing lips!
8.4.1 Replacing bearings in explosion-proofmachines
● When changing the bearings, renew the sealing rings and only use original Siemens spare parts.

lever directly under the web (risk of breakage). 2. Do not damage the snap mechanisms. If any damage is caused, request new parts.
Canopy, incremental encoder under the canopy Loosen the fixing screws on the external surface of the protective cover. Under no circumstances should the spacing bolts or the mounting bracket be disassembled or forcibly
separated from each other or the cover. Forcibly removing or separating can destroy the distance bolts,
the connecting elements of the mounting bracket or the fan cover.
8.6 Reassembly
Note Avoid damaging the windings protruding out of the stator enclosure when fitting the end shield.
8.6.1 Assemly
● Apply Fluid-D to the centering edge.
● Check the terminal box seals and if required, replace.
● Repair any damage to the paint (also on screws/bolts).
● Take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the applicable degree of protection.
● Do not forget the foam cover in the cable entry (seal all holes completely and prevent cables from touching any sharp edges).
For flameproof machines, apply just a small amount of acid-free, non-resinous grease to the centering
edges (e.g. Renolit H 442 supplied by Fuchs). Do not use any sealing agents. 43

Sealing the bearings
● V rings on shaft
● Use the prescribed bearings and check that sealing washers are in the correct position
● Do not forget the elements for keeping the bearings in position (correct side)
● Fixed bearings (retaining ring or bearing cover) Table 8-2 Mounting dimension "x" of V rings

8.6.2 Reassembling fans
Fans Take care not to damage the snapping mechanisms on fans that are equipped with these. To ensure this,
the fans should be heated to a temperature of approximately 50 °C around the area of the hub. If any damage is caused, request new parts.
Fan cover
● When fitting the cover, do not overstretch it (risk of breakage).
● First engage two snap openings positioned next to one other, then carefully press the cover into position with the two openings situated opposite these using the snap-in lugs, and snap it into place.
● Latch all snap openings cleanly into the snap-in lugs.
Canopy; incremental encoder under the canopy
Guide the fixing screws through the holes on the external surface of the canopy and tighten to a torque of
3 Nm ±10%.
Miscellaneous
● Number and position of rating plates and additional labels as in original condition● If necessary, fix cables in place.
● Check the tightening torques of all screws, as well as those of screws which have not been
unscrewed. The number on the EC-type examination certificate for machines with flameproof enclosure "d" type of protection is represented by an X, since the flameproof joints deviate from standard EN / IEC
60079-1, Table 2. Only perform repairs following consultation with the manufacturer and be sure to use
original parts.
