INSTALLATION

Because of the number of possible installations, no accessories are supplied

with your pump, however accessories are available from your nearest Clarke

dealer. See the suggested list on page 13.

NOTE: It is recommended that the end user should consult a qualified

installer if there are any doubts as to the suitability of this product

for a particular installation.

IMPORTANT: The pump MUST NOT be connected to the mains power supply

until all hose/pipe installation is completed.

INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP

The pump must always be installed and operated in a horizontal position i.e.

with the outlet port facing vertically upwards. The fixing holes in the base

should be used to secure the pump firmly in it’s operating position. Mount the

pump on raised blocks or a purpose built platform to protect it from flooding.

Some kind of anti-vibration mounting is also desirable.

Always ensure there is adequate air circulation around the motor. The pump

should be installed in a dry, well ventilated enclosure, sheltered from rain.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The pump should be located at such a distance away from any pond or pool,

as to avoid the possibility of immersion and the power supply should also be a

safe distance away. If in doubt, please contact your electrical specialist and

refer to national regulations.

Avoid situations where the pump could become drenched with water as

neither the motor or terminal box are designed to be totally waterproof.

Ensure the pump & its power cable do not create a safety hazard for people

walking past it.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The BIP1500 pump is fitted with a length of 1.5mm2flexible cable and a BS1363

approved plug. If you need to replace the cable or plug for any reason,

please follow the instruction on the next page.

WARNING! READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE

MAINS SUPPLY.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

FITTING THE CABLE

Do not attempt electrical installation

work if you are in any doubt as to

how it should be done correctly.

Consult a qualified electrician.

The pump must be wired according

to the diagram, after removing the

cover plate, ensuring the following

principles are observed:

• The cable used must be the

correct size to ensure it is a tight

fit in the cable gland.

• Ensure the cable gland is

correctly used. The clamp must

firmly hold the outer cable

sheath and not the wires.

• Fit a crimp style ring terminal to

the earth wire and make sure

that it is correctly connected to

the earth terminal. The ring

terminal should be placed

between the two washers, and

the screw suitably tightened.

FITTING THE PLUG

To ensure that the colours of the wires in the power cable correspond with the

markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.

•The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal

which is marked Nor coloured Black.

• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal

which is marked Lor coloured Red.

• The wire which is coloured Yellow and Green must be connected to

the terminal which is marked E or or coloured Green

WARNING! THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE SHOULD BE

COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

(Blue = Neutral Brown = Live Yellow and Green = Earth

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

• Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your

electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate.

This product is designed to operate on 230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it

to any other power source may cause damage.

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply

via a Residual Current Device (RCD))

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any

connections yourself.

PIPE/HOSE CONNECTIONS

The pump inlet can be connected to any water source depending upon the

installation layout, and the discharge outlet should be directed as required.

The diameter of the inlet/outlet

connectors is 1” BSP (25.4 mm).

Therefore hoses with the same

diameter should be used and

secured with a suitable 1” hose

adaptor. Ensure all connections are

air tight. Tighten them enough to

secure the hose during pressurised

operation, but not so tight as to crack

any plastic inlet/outlet adaptors.

If the pump is going to be a

permanent fixture, vibration and

strain on adjacent parts can be

reduced by connecting a short flexible hose between any rigid pipework and

the pump.

Plug must be BS1363/A approved.

Always fit a 13 Amp fuse.

Ensure that the outer sheath of the cable is firmly held by the clamp

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

The performance of your pump will be affected by the diameter of the inlet

pipe - any restriction will greatly reduce the flow. We recommend that you

always use a pipe diameter at least equal to, or greater than the diameter of

the pump connections.

To prevent unnecessary strain ensure that adequate support is provided to the

hoses and pipes. They will be considerably heavier when filled with water.

It is suggested that suction and delivery isolation valves are fitted in order to

isolate the pump. A gate valve may be installed in-line on the delivery side of

the pump which can be adjusted as required to regulate the flow of water

and can assist in priming the pump.

Protect the pump and pipework from freezing with the addition of suitable

lagging. The formation of ice may cause serious damage.

SUCTION LIFT OR GRAVITY FEED

The diagrams illustrate possible

methods of pipework installation.

It is possible to draw water from a

sunken pool or well providing the

suction lift does not exceed the

distance specified for your pump.

• The suction lift i.e. the vertical

distance between the water

level and the pump should not

exceed 7 metres.

When suction lift is used to draw

water into the pump it is essential that

all connections and hoses are

completely air tight, otherwise the

system will not work.

However, the pump may be gravity

fed, that is, drawing water from an

above ground tank.

A foot valve/filter should be fitted to

the lower end of the suction hose, (as

illustrated), to help retain water in the

suction system. Remember.... this is

NOT a self priming pump.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

PRIMING THE PUMP

Before pumping, you must

completely fill the suction side with

water to prime the pump which is

carried out as follows:-

1. With all inlet pipes/hoses and foot

valve in position, but no outlet

hose connected, pour water into

the outlet port until all the air is

expelled.

2. Connect the outlet hose to the outlet port. If the outlet hose is already

connected, a priming hole and threaded plug are provided, adjacent to

the outlet as shown.

NOTE: As the priming hole is quite small, it is recommended to fill the inlet

pipe with water before connecting to the pump, and top up

through the priming hole once the pipe is connected.

3. Switch on the pump.

• Water should start to flow through the system.

4. Check for leaks and make good if necessary.

5. Adjust any device which may be fitted to the outlet side of the pump, to

maximise efficiency.

Do not place any restriction on the inlet side of the pump.

Remember - this pump is designed for pumping CLEAN WATER ONLY. DO NOT

USE for pumping chemicals or other flamable or corrosive liquids.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

OPERATION

1. Open any valves in the pipeline.

2. If operating the pump for the first time, prime the pump as described.

NOTE: The pump is only self-priming when filled with water. Refilling is

only necessary if the pump has been drained, or if all the water

has been lost.

3. Connect to the power supply and switch on. Water should start to flow

through the system. Check for any leaks and make good as necessary.

• If the motor fails to start, or the pump does not deliver water, refer to

TROUBLESHOOTING. Never operate the pump when not primed with

water or if the inlet is blocked.

NOTE: Filling the suction pipe with water will speed up the priming

process, and it is suggested that a non-return valve be fitted to the

end of the suction pipe.

4. Stop the pump by switching off the power supply.

CARE DURING USE

1. Do not allow the pump to run dry, otherwise the seal between the pump

and motor may be damaged. If a leak occurs at this point, allowing water

to pass from the pump to the motor, take the pump to your Clarke dealer

for overhaul.

2. In the event of a blockage, where debris has entered the suction

chamber, it can be cleaned out as described under MAINTENANCE.

3. Should contaminants come into contact with the pump, flush through with

cold water as soon as possible to prevent damage to the pump. DO NOT

USE for pumping chemicals or other corrosive liquids (other than pool

purification chemicals in their correct mix ratio).

4. If the pump is being used to drain a pool or pond, ensure there is adequate

drainage and there is no risk of damage to property as a result of water

being discharged. If a flexible hose must be laid across a roadway, protect

it with wooden planking.

MAINTENANCE

The only maintenance required is a regular inspection to ensure that debris is

not blocking the passage of water through the pump.

If you suspect the pump is blocked by silt, leaf debris etc, disconnect it from

the power supply and back-flush to clear any blockage using a hose. You will

need to disconnect the outlet hose to do this.

Always keep the pump in a clean condition, checking regularly for loose bolts

or a damaged power cable etc.

The pump should not be taken apart by the user in the case of overhaul being

required, but should be taken to your nearest Clarke dealer for specialist

repair.

AFTER USE

After use, and if the pump will not be used over the winter period, or whenever

there is danger of freezing, always drain the pump body. If the pump has

been used with contaminated or salty water, it should be thoroughly flushed

with clean water following use, both inside and out. It should then be drained

and covered over, if not already installed in a clean, dry environment

sheltered from the weather.

Remember to re-prime the pump when returning to service.

• In the event that dismantling and overhaul of the pump is necessary,

contact your Clarke service department.
