8). Installation
➢Use the appropriate lifting equipment to handle the booster set, DO NOT use the eyelets on
the motors to for this purpose.
➢Prior to installation the booster set should be thoroughly checked for any damage during
transportation and reported immediately to KGN Pillinger and not installed.
➢The pressure booster set requires install in a ventilated, dry frost-free position, allowing 0.5m
clearance on all sides and front to enable general maintenance.
➢The pressure set should be installed on a level structurally sound surface, with the anti-
vibration mounts having free movement.
Protection against Dry Running
➢KGN offer as an extra the option to protect against running the booster set dry and causing
catastrophic damage to the set.
➢Using a low voltage relay. Where applicable, this should be wired to a float switch or
electrodes in the suction break tank.
Joining Pipe Work
➢The connection pipework must be adequality sized and well supported to not cause stress
on the booster set manifolds.
➢All pipe work should match or be greater than the diameter of the manifold.
➢Pipework should be flushed out before connecting the unit.
➢Connect the suction and discharge manifolds to the suction supply tank and rising main.
➢Verify that all pipe joints are sealed and water tight to prevent leaks.
Electrical Connections
➢Connect incoming *electrical mains supply to the panel and low voltage connections to the
low water cut off device.
➢The incoming supply must be sized to carry the motor full load current of all pumps
(as all can be in operation at any one time).
➢All electrical connections are to be made against the relevant product wiring diagrams
See page 12 of this manual for further product specific details.
➢All electrical connections should be sized, installed and protected in accordance with the
requirements of the latest safety standards and any other current local rules and regulations.
➢Ensure the cable & fuse/MCB protection is suitably rated.
➢It’s essential that this equipment is earth bonded to the building earth system.
