Electrical Connection; Putting Into Operation - T.I.P. SPF Serie Mode D'emploi

7. Electrical connection

The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by
qualified staff to avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump,
and do not use this cable to pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection ca-
ble and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp edges. Defect power cords must be replaced immediately.
The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage.
The person responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical con-
nection is earthed in compliance with the applicable standards.
The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current
circuit-breaker (FI switch): ∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).
If extension cables are used, their cross-section must not be smaller than that of
rubber-sheathed cables of the H07RN-F (3 x 1.0 mm²) short code. The mains socket
and the plug-and-socket elements have to be in splash-water-proof design.
The electrical installation must be done in accordance with the safety regulation for
swimming pools and in particular with standard HD 60364-7-702 and other local
specifications regulations.

8. Putting into operation

For the first operation it is recommended to fill the sand filter tank with water.
Avoid any dry-running – operation of the pump without suction of water. This could
cause an overheating of the pump and severe damage of the device. In addition to
this, there then very hot water in the system, this can cause burning injuries and
scalding. In case of an overheated pump pull out the power cord and let the system
cool down. The floating ring seals can be damaged if the pump is running dry and
should be replaced if this happened.
Do not expose the pump to rain or humidity. Avoid any dripping connectors. Do not
place the pump in a wet or humid environment. Make sure the pump and the electri-
cal plugs are located in an area, which is secured against flooding.
The pump must not be operated, if the inlet valve is closed.
It is absolutely forbidden to touch with the hands into the openings of the pump, if the
device is connected to the power supply.
1． Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connec-
tion 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.
2． Each time the pump is put into operation, please make sure that the pump is set up securely and
firmly standing.
3． To put the unit into operation, please plug the mains plugs into a 230V AC socket. If the water lev-
el has reached or exceeded the cut-in level, the pump will start to run immediately.
4． To stop the operation of the pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket.
5． The electrical pumps of the T.I.P. SPF series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor pro-
tection 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.
