pump. For installations in bathrooms and showers, the corresponding regulations of DIN VDE 0100
Part 701 have to be observed.
• Please observe the regulations of EN 12 056-4.
• For AC power connection, external protection has to be carried out with circuit breakers of
characteristic K, generally 3-pole mechanically locked. In this way, complete supply isolation is
ensured and 2-phase run excluded.
• In dry rooms, all electrical devices such as controls, alarm transmitters and sockets must be installed
flood-proof.
• Attention! Before every installation and disassembly of the pump or other work on the plant, it
must be disconnected from the mains supply.
• The motor can overheat due to overload. In case of overheating, never touch the hot surfaces on
the motor.
• When using an extension cable, it must meet the quality of the supplied connecting cable.
The switchbox is fastened to the wall, and the electrical connecting cables are connected according to the
circuit diagram. While doing so, it has to be seen to it that the electrical system complies with the applicable
VDE guidelines.
The circuit diagram for the wiring of the lifting unit is in the switchbox and should be left there in order to
facilitate the work of the maintenance and customer service personnel.
6. COMMISSIONING
Before commissioning, all connections should be checked again for correct installation. The shut-off
valve must be open.
Now the plug is put into the socket and the pump's direction of rotation checked. This is done by briefly
setting the manual/0/automatic switch to "Manual". When the motor comes to a standstill, the direction
of rotation can be compared with the correct direction of rotation (rotation arrow) on the top surface
at the sight glass. If the pump rotates the wrong way round, two of the three phases will have to be
interchanged.
All power supplies must be disconnected !
Now the manual/0/automatic switch is set to "Automatic" and a test run is carried out. For this purpose,
the collecting tank is filled via the normal inlet (washbasin, toilet et cetera). The plant must automatically
switch on, pump the tank empty and switch off again. After switching off, no water may flow from the
pressure line back into the tank, and the pitot tube in the tank must have fully emerged out of the water.
If this is not the case, the run-on time will have to be extended.
During the test run all lines and fitting are checked again for tightness and newly caulked.
If the lifting unit works properly, the switch will keep being in "Automatic" position.
7. MAINTENANCE / SERVICING
7.1 Inspection and maintenance intervals
Inspection and maintenance intervals according to DIN 1986 (German standard) Part 31: "Effluent
lifting installations should be checked once a month by the customer by monitoring one switching cycle
for operational capability and leakage...The system is to be serviced by a specialist. Inspection and
maintenance intervals should be no longer than :
- 3 months for systems in commercial operations
- 6 months for systems in multiple family residences
- 1 year for systems in single family houses"
