Electrical Connection - Pentair PLANCOFIX Instructions De Service

ENGLISH
APPLICATION
Plancofix is a floor drainage pump that
allows grey water to be pumped out of
a domestic walk-in shower if a gravity
sewer system is not available. The Plan-
cofix is fitted directly under the shower.
The temperature of the shower water
must not exceed 40°C.
The Plancofix must not be used as
back-flow protection or for discharging
other drainage units.
Use of the pumps is subject to relevant
national laws, regulations and local re-
quirements such as:
∙ Domestic contaminated water and
waste water (e.g. EN 12056 in Eu-
rope )
∙ Installation of low voltage systems
(e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany)
Further regulations must be observed
(e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany, part 701:
bathrooms and shower rooms)
Noise emission value < 70 dB(A)
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
Electrical work on the Planco-
fix must be carried out by a
qualified electrician only.
Before carrying out any work,
disconnect the unit completely
from the mains power supply
(e.g. by unplugging it from the mains, or
turning off the main switch, or trigger-
ing the FI circuit breaker) and ensure
that the power supply to the unit cannot
be switched on again by anyone else.
ATTENTION! Never put the free end of
the cable in water! If water gets into it,
this can cause malfunctions and dam-
age.
Current applicable standards (such as
EN standards), national regulations
(such as VDE in Germany), and the re-
gulations of the local power supply
companies must be complied with.
Observe the operating voltage (see type
plate)! Only connect the pump to elec-
trical circuits that have been installed
properly in accordance with the regula-
tions and are fitted with at least a 10 A
(delay) fuse and an FI circuit breaker (30
mA).

The pump is provided with a wind-
ing thermostat. In case of unaccept-
ably high temperatures, it switches off
the pump to protect it against possible
damage. Unacceptably high tempera-
tures may result, for example, from dry
running, or mechanical or electrical
overload.
INSTALLATION
The Plancofix is recessed entirely into
the floor. The unit can be accessed for
maintenance through the top cover
(tiled or stainless steel finish).
A sufficiently deep 40 x 40 cm recess
must be created for the tank.
ATTENTION! Make sure that the exist-
ing concrete floor is sufficiently thick
and that the structural conditions allow
a recess to be made.
Conduits must be created for the pres-
sure pipe and electricity supply cable,
1" FPT pressure pipe outlet, 3/4" cable
conduit.
Installation beside the shower
Plancofix
Plancofix plus
The Plancofix can also be installed in
front of, or adjacent to, the shower. In
this case, the shower is connected to
one of the inlet connections at the side
with a DN50 pipe socket.
To reduce odours, please fit the rubber
flap (Plancofix plus) provided.
ATTENTION! If it is installed outside the
shower, the tileable cover must be used.
If the drain cover is used, a slight dis-
charge of water is possible.
Inserting the tank
ATTENTION! The protective covers at
the side and the top must be fitted to
the Plancofix.
1. Screw on the four feet.
2. Adjust the feet until the Plancofix is
level and is standing in the recess at
the appropriate height.
3. To reduce the transmission of sounds
to a minimum, the protective cover at
the side of the tank must remain in
place.
4. Note. The following materials are
approved for the pressure pipe: PVC
(DIN 8062), PE-HD (DIN 8074) and PP
(DIN 8077).
ATTENTION! When the pressure
pipe is connected to the pressure
outlet, do not seal the connection
with hemp but wind not more than
6 layers of Teflon tape around the
outlet.
Acoustically isolate the pressure
pipe, connect it to the pressure out-
