let with a 1" female thread and route
it to the nearest downpipe.
ATTENTION! Tighten the fitting
carefully to avoid damaging the
pressure outlet.
5. If the pressure pipe is laid hori-
zontally, the hand-over point to the
downpipe must lie 25 cm higher than
the Plancofix.
Test run
Motor noises on starting up are not a
cause for concern as they are normal in
synchronous motors.
ATTENTION! Carry out a trial run be-
fore laying the screed. Fill water in from
above through the floor drain and get
the Plancofix to pump out several times.
Look for any leaks around the inlet and
the pressure pipe. Later changes can
only be made with a considerable effort.
Laying the screed
ATTENTION! The Plancofix must be
weighted down to keep it in position
during application of the screed.
The entire area can now be filled with
screed.
After the screed has set, the enclosed
square seal is bonded to the integrated
sealing strip. After the customer has at-
tached a further thin-bed waterproofing
system, the area can be tiled.
Secondary drainage
Secondary drainage can be provided
by drilling holes (Ø 5mm) all round the
edge above the sealing membrane.
Information on sealants and adhesives
can be found in the information sheet
on "Composite sealing" issued by the
professional association of the German
tile industry within the German Con-
struction Confederation (ZDB).
Differences in height between individual
tiles can be offset by adjusting the plas-
tic screws under the lid element.
For aesthetic reasons, the edge covers
included in the package can be fitted.
Both of the stainless steel cover ele-
ments (a) can also be completely tiled
over (b). To do so, just turn the larger
element over, and use the smaller ele-
ment without a drain.
ATTENTION! Do not seal the inner side
of the gap that runs around the edge.
ENGLISH
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any work,
always disconnect the Planco-
fix from the power supply and
ensure that it cannot be switched on
again by other persons.
The system is largely maintenance-
free. However, soap residues should be
removed from the interior of the tank
every 2-3 weeks. To do so, simply lift the
cover off and then clean the inside care-
fully with a paintbrush or some other
type of brush.
ATTENTION! Do not use aggressive
drain cleaners!
If the hydraulic system is blocked, pull
the red fixing element upwards and take
it out. Next, gently loosen the hydraulic
system and remove it. After cleaning,
make sure that when you re-insert it,
the swing-type check valve and the two
seals are firmly in place. Finally, insert
the red fixing element.
