Automation With Special Accessories; Maintenance And Troubleshooting - T.I.P. EJ 5 Plus Mode D'emploi

Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connection line and the
mains plug. Make sure that all screws are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition of all connections. A
damaged pump must not be used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified service
staff.
If present, open a shut-off device within the pressure line, for instance a water tap. Insert the mains plug into a
230V AC socket. The pump will start to run immediately. Shortly, the pump will start to discharge water.
To stop the operation of the pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket.
Dry-running - i.e. the operation of the pump without discharging water - has to be avoided in any case since the
absence of water will make the pump run hot. This will cause considerable damage to the unit. The main reason
of dry running can usually be found in clogged or leaking intake lines or a lack of liquid to be discharged. In this
context, please note that the water level may vary as a result of the withdrawal of water, weathering influences,
seasonal changes or other reasons. For this reason it is recommended to install an automatic water level
indicator.
This model is equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection feature. In the case of overload, the motor will
switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For possible causes and their elimination, please refer
to the "Maintenance and troubleshooting" section.

8. Automation with special accessories

This model has the necessary pressure to make automation when needed. In this context, the term of
"automation" means that the liquid being discharged can be used just as if taken from the water mains: Simply by
opening or shutting water taps or consumer elements.
For automation, you will need an electronic or mechanic control system (already included in Art. Nr. 30164 and
30196) which can be installed very quickly and conveniently. As an additional benefit, some of the control
systems provide a very effective protection from damage caused by dry-running since they will cut out the pump
in the case of lack of water.
Our range of accessories contains some particularly reliable and proven control systems. For detailed information,
please refer to www.tip-pumpen.de or to your specialised dealer.

9. Maintenance and troubleshooting

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical
mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the
pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage
caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Observing the conditions of use and the ranges of application of the present device will reduce the risk of possible
operational malfunction and contribute to extend the lifetime of your unit. Sand and other abrasive matters
contained in the liquid discharged will speed up the process of wearing and tearing and accelerate the drop in
performance. If the unit is operated properly, it will not require any maintenance.
If the water pumped is not sufficiently clean, it may be necessary to clean the intake filter (4) with a steel brush in
order to remove the dirt that has accumulated on the outer surface.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable damage. Therefore, the pump
must be removed from the liquid being discharged and fully drained when temperatures are below the freezing
point of the liquid. Please store the pump in a dry, frost-protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or some other
reason which cannot be attributed to a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their elimination. All
the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from the electrical mains. If you
yourself feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact the customer service department or
your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff.
Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for any ensuing damage.
