EN 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Electrical risk
Information on models with explosion proof ATEX (-Ex) certification. Failure to observe this information can lead to
explosions
1.3 Safety
The main information for the safety of the product and user is provided in the “Safety Information” leaflet supplied with this manual.
During handling, installation or disinstallation operations the pump must be disconnected from the power supply panel.
warning! The -EX approval lapses following interventions or repair work carried out by unauthorised workshops or staff. Accor-
dingly, the electric pump can no longer be used in areas with an explosion danger.
The -EX plate will have to be removed.
warning! Any modifications made to the product without the manufacturer’s authorisation may cause hazards and lead to a deterioration in EN
performance and loss of warranty cover.
Any interventions of the pump in -EX versions must be carried out by an authorised Service Centre or by authorised technicians
using only original spare parts. Failure to comply with this conduct infers the loss of the ATEX certification of the machine and
invalidates the guarantee.
The -EX version electric pump can be used with a frequency converter (inverter) with the compulsory condition that the breakers
inside the motor are correctly connected to the control panel (possibly, for non-standard panels, outside of the risk area).

Operator’s Manual – Translation of original instructions
Within a hazardous area, handle any moving with caution, avoiding bumps or friction of the pump
with other metallic objects as this could cause sparks, therefore increasing the risk of explosions.
2.4 Storage
During storage, the electric pump must be kept in a suitable place, out of the reach of children or those with dimini-
α
shed responsibility, suitably secured against falling and protected from damp, vibrations (< veff = 0,2 mm/s), dust and
extreme temperatures (below -20°C/-4°F and above +60°C/140°F). Fig. 7
If the pump should freeze, do not use flames to remove the ice; immerse it in the liquid in which it is to be installed
until it thaws out.
Models with cooling jacket use a 30% water-glycol mixture as coolant; this mixture retains its properties intact down to a temperature of -13°C
(9°F). At lower temperatures, the mixture becomes more viscose but it does not solidify completely, and it can therefore be used without damaging
the pump.
However, the condition of the coolant mixture and the mechanical seal sump oil should be checked before using the product if it has been exposed
to low temperatures.
If the electric pump needs to be stored for more than six months, prior to commissioning it, change the oil in the mechanical seals chamber and
take it to an authorised disposal centre. Do not dispose of the oil as household waste.
warning! Turn the impeller by hand occasionally (at least every 2 months) through the outlet or intake, to prevent the mechanical seals from
sticking together.
Following storage, inspect the electric pump to make sure there is no damage, check the oil level in the mechanical seals chamber and make sure
the impeller spins freely.
3. INSTALLATION
The shock from built up electrostatic charges on isolated components could cause an explosion. -EX pumps do not have isolated
components that are electrostatically chargeable and they are all equipped with screw for connection to the equipotential ground
network (Fig. 8).
Any additional components installed in the hazardous area must be connected to the earthing network according to the EN 1127-
1 rule, part 6.4.7.
Check the suitability for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of each additional component installed in the hazardous area.
All of the following operations should be carried out in a secure place, in absence
of potentially explosive atmospheres; if this is not possible, you must carry out the
testing with a device which controls the sequence phases installed inside the elec-
tric panel.
Proceed as follows:
1. Take the precautions detailed in the “Safety Precautions” manual.
2. Place the pump vertical on its feet or base.
3. Secure the pump by tying a suitably sized chain or sling to the handle on the top to prevent
it from falling over after the kickback. Fig. 8
9
Operator’s Manual – Translation of original instructions
warning! The kickback may be very strong. Do not stand close to the pump during the procedure.
4. Temporarily connect the yellow-green wire to the system ground connector and then connect the power supply wires to the contactor.
EN 5. Make sure there are no people or objects within a distance of at least 2 metres of the pump.
6. Operate the start switch, power up the pump for a few seconds and then shut off the power by flicking the stop switch.
7. Check that the rotation direction is correct.
If the pump is rotating in the wrong direction, invert two of the pump’s three power supply phases and try again, repeating the procedure described.
Once the connection which provides the correct rotation direction has been obtained, MARK the precise order in which the wires have been con-
nected to the system, DISCONNECT the power supply wires from the pump and proceed with definitive installation.
warning! If more than one pump is connected to a single control panel, the rotation direction must be checked individually for each unit instal-
led.

In the case where installation of an ATEX pump provide a level control system through float switches, there needs to be at least
2 (start-up and shutdown) and, if installed in a hazardous area, they must be certified for potentially explosive atmospheres. In
this instance, the connection to the electric control panel must be carried out using an Intrinsic Safety interface such as a Zener
safety barrier or a galvanic isolation barrier.
Ensure that the switch from shut down to start-up occurs only and exclusively if both of the floats find themselves in the position shown
in Fig 10.
Ensure that the switch from start-up to shut down occurs only and exclusively if both of the floats find themselves in the position shown
in Fig 11.
The electric connection of the floats must be carried out in such a way that ensures the shutdown of the pump in cases of a malfunctioning
float.

plugs. Use stainless steel metal fasteners or protect the screws and nuts with a suitable product to prevent corrosion.
5. Connect the outlet pipeline to the coupling device. A shut-off valve and a ball type check valve with full free passage should be installed using
a connection pipe with length equal to at least 5 times the diameter of the outlet.
6. Fit the pipe guides, cut to the correct length, to the coupling device. Galvanised steel pipes, or preferably stainless steel pipes, of suitable
diameter can be used (see technical information).
EN
7. Connect the spacer bracket to the top end of the pipe guide and mark the positions of the holes required to fix it to one of the sides of the tank;
make sure that the pipe guides are perfectly vertical with the aid of a plumb-line or a spirit-level.
warning! Before connecting the bracket spacer check, by lifting the pump up, if it is possible to extract the coupling flange from the pipe
guides (Fig. 14B).
8. Make holes of suitable diameter for the spacer bracket fixing slots and secure it firmly using chemical or expansion plugs. Protect the screws
and nuts with a suitable product to prevent corrosion.
9. Clean the tank to remove any remaining debris and waste.
10. Secure a chain or sling of suitable size to the handle and lower the pump into the tank, sliding the flange along the pipe guides until it reaches
the coupling device.
During the installation of ATEX version electric pumps, be very careful when lifting or lowering the electric pump into the well, as the
metal parts can generate sparks if they rub against each other.
11. Secure the electric cables so that they cannot be twisted or torn or drawn in by the pump.
12. Bring the cables out of the tank through a clean, smooth duct. Do not lay cables with tight bends or in positions with risk of crushing or damage.
13. Take off the heat-shrink sheath that protects the end of the cable, following the instructions provided in paragraph 2.2.
14. Connect the electric cables to the control panel as shown in the diagram provided in point 4.2 “Connection diagrams”.

• Make sure that the electrical cables are not damaged in any way and the ends have not be exposed to damp and/or immersed in water.
• The cable’s free terminals must be connected to a regulation control panel with a degree of insulation suitable for the installation environment.
• Secure the electric cables so that they cannot be twisted, torn and/or crushed.
• If the cable is damaged, do not replace it; contact Zenit or an Authorised Service Centre.
• Do not underestimate the problems caused by voltage drops.
• In case of use with a variable frequency drive, use screened cables compliant with the relevant regulations.
The ends of the power supply cable must be connected to an electric panel certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
if it is installed in a hazardous area
16
Operator’s Manual – Translation of original instructions
For installations with ATEX-certified models, the electric panel must be predisposed to guarantee the shutdown of the motor
when the thermal protection intervenes and to avoid the automatic start-up of the pump which must only be started manually with
the intervention of an operator.
For installations with ATEX-certified models, the connection to the electric control panel must be carried out by inserting an
Intrinsic Safety interface such as the Zener safety barrier or the galvanic isolation barrier. In the case of a warning, proceed with
maintenance.

5. COMMISSIONING
warning! The maximum permitted number of starts per hour is stated in the technical information and must be complied with to prevent da-
mage to the motor.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 Introduction
Zenit UNIQA electric submersible pumps undergo through final inspection before they are offered for sale and installed.
The product’s reliability derives from the use of top quality components but also depends on regular inspections which must be carried out by the
user.
warning! The instructions for inspection and maintenance of these pumps must never be viewed as “DIY” procedures; they require specific
technical knowledge.
Any interventions of the pump in -EX versions must be carried out by an authorised Service Centre or by authorised technicians
using only original spare parts.
Failure to comply with this rule may cause loss of warranty rights and put the pump’s safety at risk. A service and planned maintenance contract
with the Zenit Authorised Service Centre guarantees the best technical service. The Zenit warranty is only valid if repairs and reactive maintenance
are performed by an Authorised Service Centre.
For machines subject to ATEX certification, Zenit recommends a scheduled maintenance plan with a maximum 2-year interval
for electric pump re-conditioning, which includes changing the bearings and the mechanical seals. A six-month control is also
recommended to check the wear of the bearings, the mechanical seals and all other parts subject to wear, as particularly adver-
se or incorrect installation conditions can affect the duration of the service life of all machine parts.
6.3.2 Cleaning
If the pump is used only occasionally, after each use flush out the hydraulic part to prevent the formation of deposits; run the pump for a few cycles
with clean water.
Also take care not to allow sediments to form on the float switches, to ensure that the start and stop thresholds remain correct.

Operator’s Manual – Translation of original instructions
6.3.3 Bearings
The bearings are either rolling, ball or roller, depending on the size of the electro-mechanical unit, and are all sized to last for 50,000 hours of
operation under normal conditions.
