ELECTRIC CONNECTION - START-UP
WARNING
Accertarsi che la tensione e la frequenza di targa corrispondano a quelle della rete di alimentazione
disponibile.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with the law in force.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
The pump is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30 mA
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SAFE PUMP START
The power cable should have a minimum section equivalent to that of H05 RN-F. To be able to use the pump
outdoors, it is necessary to use cable with a length of 10 m. The plug and connections should be protected by water
splashes.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug). Do not use the pump if it is
damaged.
If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by the specialised assistance service only.
Make sure that electric connections are protected from inundation.
Protect the plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
GROUNDING
The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting
the plug.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
PENTAIR FLOTEC VIP/FP series pumps have a built-in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload con-
dition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down (see point 4 of the Troubleshooting section
for information on causes and corrective actions).
WARNING
The pump runs as soon as the floating switch reaches the start-up level.
