Installation and operating instructions LRL, JRL
If water/glycol mixtures with up to 40 % glycol (or fluids with a differ-
ent velocity to pure water) are used, the pump data must be corrected
to match the higher viscosity, regardless of the percentage mixture
relationship and the fluid temperature. The motor power must also be
adjusted if necessary.
• Only use mixtures with corrosion inhibitors. The respective manufac-
turer's instructions are to be observed.
• The fluid must be sediment-free.
• Salmson's approval must be obtained for the use of other fluids.
NOTE
Always read and follow the material safety data sheet for the fluid
being pumped.
NOTE
LRL/JRL series pumps without the supplementary P2 designation in
the type key (see chapter 5.1 "Type key" on page 28) should not be
used for potable water applications.
Special pump versions K1, K4 and K10 are also suitable for outdoor
installation (see chapter 5.1 "Type key" on page 28).
Utilisation of LRL type pumps outdoors requires additional measures
which protect the pumps from all manner of climatic conditions.
These include rain, snow, ice, sunlight, foreign substances and con-
densation.
• When installed vertically the motor is to be provided with a protective
fan cover. The following variant is available for this:
• K1 - motor with protective fan cover
• If there is a risk of condensation (e.g. due to large variations in tem-
perature, moist air, etc.), an electric standby heating unit is to be pro-
vided (connection at 1~230 V, see chapter 7.2 "Electrical connection"
on page 34). This should not be switched on during operation of the
motor.
The following variants are available for this:
• K4 - motor with protective fan cover and standby heating
• K10 - motor with standby heating
• To prevent long-term exposure to direct, prolonged and intense sun-
light, rain, snow, ice and dust, the pumps must be protected from all
sides by an additional protective cover. The protective cover must be
configured in such a way that ensures good ventilation and prevents
an accumulation of heat.
NOTE
The use of pump variants K1 and K4 is only possible in a "moderate"
area or "Western European climate". Additional measures to protect
the motors must be implemented in "tropical protection" and
"enhanced tropical protection" areas, even if the pumps are installed
in enclosed rooms.

installation on a base
• JRL: Blind flange for repair work
