SEAL PROBE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Mechanical Seal Leak Detection probe has been loose to protect from shipping
damage. Please follow this procedure to install the probe.

1) Lay pump on its side with the plug on the seal chamber facing upwards as indicated.
2) Unscrew the plug with the proper wrench, taking care not to damage the sealing surface.
3) Verify that seal chamber oil level is within ¼” of the indicated value. Measurement is from
oil level to the top of hole. See IOM Manual for seal chamber oil volume, if required.
4) Remove the new sealing gasket from package and install it onto the seal probe plug.
5) Install the seal probe with gasket into the opening, taking care not to damage the cable.
Then tighten the seal probe with the proper wrench until snug. Do not overtighten. Once
tight, verify the seal gasket is properly seated and the cable is not pinched or twisted.
NOTE: At installation of the seal probe be careful not to bind the seal probe cord as it is
being installed into the pump.
6) Lift pump into a vertical position and inspect for any leaks.
7) Secure seal probe cable to pump body and power cable with tyraps before installing
pump.

7.5 HP and larger motors require multiple run and start capacitors to achieve the necessary
capacitance value. Refer to the capacitor wiring diagram supplied with each capacitor kit.

Single Phase Pump Start-Up Procedure

Run Capacitor sizing can vary depending on the incoming supply voltage provided. HOMA Single Phase
pumps are provided with Start and Run Capacitor(s) sized for 220-230V under load. Frequently, the
available line voltage is considerable different than indicated, and the Run capacitor(s) may need to be
resized to match the available field voltage. The following procedure will allow you to verify proper
operation of your single phase pump, and/or make necessary changes to you capacitors to correct for
your power supply.
After verifying wiring is in accordance with your pump requirements, start pump and record the following
readings from each of the (3) pump cable leads.

Current under load:

U1 _________Amps,> U2 __________Amps,> Z2 __________Amps
Should be (highest reading) (middle reading) (lowest reading)

Lead U1 (common) should have the highest current reading. Lead Z2 (start) should have the lowest
reading.
If Z2 current draw is greater than the current draw of either U1 or U2, a smaller size Run capacitor (lower
microfarad rating) is required to correct the condition. Example: If a 60 uf Run capacitor was supplied,
change to a 50 uf Run capacitor and check current readings. Typically, only one step down in capacitor
size is required, but in certain instances 2 steps may be required.

( ) The standard capacitor kit provided includes: ____________uf start capacitor

____________uf run capacitor
( ) Additional run capacitors have been included for use in tuning the pump to match available line
voltages for optimum performance.

pumps, and is applicable to most Capacitor Start and Run motors. Please contact our Technical Service
