general infOrMatiOn  
pump caSing - High strength plastic design makes  
pump a great choice in corrosive environments.Ideal for  
use in marine and certain chemical applications.  
The Multiquip Model CX400 and PX400 submersible pumps  
are designed to pump water and is used for the draining  
(dewatering) of well casings construction sites, coffer dams,  
manholes, transformer vaults and excavations.  
If the pump was used to pump water containing mud, silt,  
use clean water to flush out the pump after each use.  
Its slim design, only 10 inches (25.4 cm.) in diameter allows  
it to fit easily inside casings and eliminates the need for  
larger, more costly casings.The pump is powered by a 1/2  
HP, 115-volt, single-phase motor for easy starting with a  
small 2,500-watt generator.  
do not allow the pump to run dry for an extended period  
of time, as this will damage the pump.During maintenance,  
dry running is permissible but only for a few seconds.  
never lift the pump by its electrical power cord. alWaYS  
lift the pump by its carrying handle or attach a rope to the  
carrying handle.  
This rugged submersible pump is loaded with features  
such as:  
tHermal overload protection - Automatically  
shuts off the motor should it reach an unsafe operating  
temperature.  
A pump fully submerged in liquid will not freeze, unless  
the liquid freezes. do not allow a partially submerged  
pump to freeze. The expansion of water freezing in the  
volute may crack the pump, causing expensive repairs. If  
there is any danger of the pump being subjected to freezing  
temperatures, Lift the pump from water and allow it to drain  
thoroughly.  
HeavY-dutY liFting Handle - Provides and  
convenient and safe location to attach a lifting device.  
Strain-relieFprotector- Provides added safety  
in the event the operator should try lifting the pump from  
the electrical cord.  
If the pump jams or the pump rotor locks for any reason,  
disconnect the pump from the power source immediately.  
Allowing the pump motor to cycle on and oFF under an  
overload condition can burn out the motor.  
replaceable diScHarge port - Provides easy  
maintenance and lower repair costs.  
double oil-lubricated Seal - provides positive  
lubrication if the pump should be left running dry. This  
helps prevent damage in the event the pump is run dry  
for short periods of time.  
When replacement of nuts and bolts is required, use only  
recommended parts as referenced in the parts section of  
this manual.This pump uses metric threads. do not use  
English measurement threads.  
impeller- Abrasion resistance plastic minimizes wear  
and extends impeller life.

Figure 3. Submersible Pump Components  
Figure 3 shows the location of the basic components, for  
the CX400/PX400 submersible pumps. Listed below is a  
brief explanation of each component  
1. AC Power Cable – This unit is supplied with a 19 ft.  
(approximately 6 m) AC power cable with a grounding-  
type plug. Always check the cable for signs of wear.  
never use a defective power cable.  
2. carryingHandle– Always carry the submersible pump  
by its handle. never! carry the pump by its power  
cord. Carrying or lifting the pump by the power cord  
will cause undue stress on the cord and can ultimately  
dislodge the cord from the pump.  
3. thermal overload protection – This pump is  
equipped with a thermal overload protection device  
that will shut down the motor in the event of high  
operating temperatures. The motor will automatically  
restart once the temperature returns to an acceptable  
operating temperature.  
4. Mechanical Seal The hydraulic oil in the pump cavity  
is designed to provide cooling for the pump seal. This

direct pOwer OperatiOn  
direct power operation  
The CX400/PX400 submersible pumps can be configured to operate by direct power (Figure 4) or connected to a control  
box (Figure 10) utilizing float switches. When the pump is connected directly to a 1Ø, 115 VAC, 60 Hz power source, the  
pump will operate soon as power is applied. It is suggested that a quick disconnect switch be installed as a means of  
turning the power on and off.  
When operating the pump using direct power (no control box), the pump must be monitored at all times. Failure to monitor  
the pump during operation could lead to severe pump damage should the pump encounter problems such as a stuck  
impeller or not fully immersed in water.

Maintenance  
electrical insulationtesting  
NOTICE  
Why perform electrical insulation testing?  
Insulation resistance is moisture and temperature  
sensitive. When temperature increases, insulation  
resistance decreases, and vice versa.  
Electrical insulation starts to age as soon as it's made.  
Harsh environments, especially those with extreme  
temperature changes and/or chemical contamination,  
cause further deterioration of the insulation (power cord).  
When performing this test measurement, perfom the  
test using the same test parameters as used in the  
initial testing.  
As a result, personnel safety (electrocution/shock) and  
power reliability can suffer resulting in higher operating  
cost and maintenance.  
What is Insulation ResistanceTesting  
20M W  
POWER CABLE  
INSULATION  
Insulation resistance testing applies a regulated stabilized  
high voltage (Figure 22), typically 500 VDC or greater  
across a dielectric (power cord). Measuring the amount of  
leakage current flowing through the dielectric will yeild a  
resistive measurement in megohms.

TEST METER  
Insulating MaterialTesting  
To verify the integrity of the pump's insulating material  
(power cable) it will be necessary to perform an electrical  
insulation test. Any electrical insulation must have the  
opposite characteristic as the conductor: it should resist  
the flow of current, keeping it within the conductor.  
SUBMERSIBLE  
PUMP  
PX400  
To measure the IR (current x resistance), the use of an IR  
tester must be employed.This IR tester is a portable device  
that is a resistance meter (ohmmeter) with a built in DC  
generator that develops a high DC voltage.  
Figure 22. Insulation Tester Application  
danger  
The high DC voltage from the IR tester is usually 500 VDC  
or more.This voltage, when applied causes a small current  
to flow through and over the insulation's surfaces.The tester  
provides a direct reading of IR in megohms.  
Read and follow the manufacturer's users  
manual prior to operating insulation tester  
(megaohm meter). This meter generates  
a test voltage of 500 volts or greater. Only  
qualified and trained personnel should  
use this equipment. The possibility exists of severe  
electrical shock, electrocution even death!, when  
using insulation tester.  
A high resistance reading would indicate a "good"  
insulation, meaning very little current is escaping through  
the insulation. While a relatively low resistance reading  
would indicate poor insulation, meaning a significant  
amount of current may be leaking through and along the  
insulation.

Use multimeter to check motor insulation. Insulation  
resistance must be approximately 15 megaohms. If  
resistance is low, disassemble pump motor and bake  
windings to dry them.  
Wet motor windings?

Lay hose flat un-kinked. Remove clog from hose line.  
Clean impeller.  
Clogged impeller?  
Use a voltmeter to check voltage while pump is  
energized. Voltage must be within 10%. Check  
power source (no load and load). If an extension cord  
is used, make sure it has adequate current-carrying  
capacity for the required length.See Table 4.
