PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Instruction symbol, for example, wear protec-
tive clothing
The safety symbols used conform to the gener-
ally applicable directives and regulations, such as
DIN and ANSI.
• Safety instructions that only refer to materi-
al damage are printed in grey, without safety
symbols.

2.2. General safety information

• The system must be de-energised before any
work is performed (installation, dismantling,
maintenance). The alarm switchgear must be
disconnected from all power sources (electricity
grid, rechargeable battery)!
• The operator must report any faults or irregulari-
ties that occur to a line manager immediately.
• Where damage occurs to electrical components,
the housing and/or the cables, the alarm switch-
gear must be shut down immediately by the
operator.
• The alarm switchgear must not be installed in
potentially explosive areas. There is a risk of
explosions.
These instructions must be strictly observed.
Non-observance can result in injury or substan-
tial material damage.

2.3. Electrical work

DANGER due to electrical voltage!
Improper procedures during electrical work
may result in fatal injuries caused by electrical
voltage! This work may only be carried out by
a qualified electrician.
BEWARE of moisture!
Ingress of moisture will result in damage to
the alarm switchgear. During installation and
operation, observe the permissible humidity
and ensure the alarm switchgear is installed
so it is overflow-proof.
The alarm switchgear is operated on the usual
power sources. The governing national directives,
standards and regulations (e.g. VDE 0100) as well
as the requirements of the local energy supply
company must be observed for the connection.
The person operating the alarm switchgear must
know where it is supplied with electrical power
and how to cut off the supply. A residual-current
device (RCD) must be provided by the customer.
The section entitled 'Electrical connection' must
be observed when connecting the product. The
technical specifications must be observed strictly.
The alarm switchgear must always be earthed.
To do this, connect the protective earth con-
ductor at the earth terminal indicated (;). The
cross-section of the cable for the protective earth
conductor must comply with the local regula-
Installation and operating instructions Wilo DrainAlarm/-GSM
tions. Alarm switchgear with connected plugs is
earthed via the plug.
If the alarm switchgear has been switched off
by a protective device, it must not be switched
on again until the fault has been corrected.

2.4. Conduct during operation

When operating the alarm switchgear, always
follow the locally applicable laws and regulations
for work safety, accident prevention and handling
electrical products. To help ensure safe working
practice, the responsibilities of employees should
be clearly specified by the operator. All personnel
are responsible for ensuring that regulations are
observed.
LEDs on the front of the housing are used to op-
erate the alarm switchgear, display the operating
status, and signal alarms and faults. The housing
cover must not be opened during operation.
DANGER due to electrical voltage!
When working on the uncovered alarm
switchgear, there is a risk of fatal electric
shocks. Only operate the alarm switchgear
with the cover closed!
DANGER - hot surfaces!
The transformer in the alarm switchgear can
reach temperatures of up to 70 °C during
operation. That can heat the housing accord-
ingly.

2.5. Standards and directives applied

See the EC Declaration of Conformity for details
of the standards and directives used.

2.6. CE marking

The CE marking is attached to the rating plate.
3. Product description
The alarm switchgear has been manufactured
with great care and is subject to constant quality
controls. Trouble-free operation is guaranteed if
they are installed and maintained correctly.

3.1. Intended use and fields of application

DANGER - explosive atmosphere!
If the connected alarm signals are used in
potentially explosive areas, they must be
connected via an intrinsically safe electric
circuit. Direct connection of the alarm signal
results in a risk of fatal injury due to explo-
sions. Connections must always be made by a
qualified electrician.
The DrainAlarm alarm switchgear is designed for
• Visual and audible alarm signalling at a defined
level, which is registered by a connected signal
transmitter.
• Visual and audible alarm signalling of external
alarm signal (collective fault or high water signals)
