• All other rules and regulations and local codes covering health and safety must be observed. In accordance
with product liability law, we point out that we shall not be liable for damages caused by the pump due to
non-observance of the instructions and guidelines set forth in the operating instructions. The same product
liability are valid for accessories.
These instructions must be strictly observed. Non-observance can result in injury or serious damage to
property.
2.4.
Operating personal
All personnel who work on or with the product must be qualified for such work; electrical work, for example may
only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The entire personnel must be of age.
Operating and maintenance personnel must also work according to local accident prevention regulations.
It must be ensured that personnel have read and understood the instructions in this operating and
maintenance handbook; if necessary this manual must be ordered from the manufacturer in the required language.
2.5.
Electrical work
Our electrical products are operated with single-phase or three-phase-current The local regulations (e.g. VDE
0100) must be adhered to. The "Electrical connection" data sheet must be observed when connecting the pro-
duct. The technical specifications must be strictly adhered to. If the machine has been switched off by a protective
device, it must not be switched on again until the error has been corrected.
Beware of electrical current!
Incorrectly performed electrical work can result in fatal injury!
This work may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Beware of damp!
Moisture penetrating cables can damage them and render them useless.
Furthermore, water can penetrate into the terminal compartment or motor and cause damage to the terminals or
the winding.
Never immerse cable ends in the pumped fluid or other liquids.
2.5.1
Electrical connection
When the machine is connected to the electrical control panel, especially when electronic devices such as soft
startup control or frequency drives are used, the relay manufacturer's specifications must be followed in order to
conform to EMC. Special separate shielding measures e.g. special cables may be necessary for the power supply
and control cables.
The connections may only be made if the relays meet the harmonized EU standards. Mobile radio equipment may
cause malfunctions.
Beware of electromagnetic radiation!
Electromagnetic radiation can pose a fatal risk for people with pacemakers. Put up appropriate signs and make
sure anyone affected is aware of the danger.
2.5.2
Ground connection
Our products (machine including protective devices and operating position, auxiliary hoisting gear) must always
be grounded. If there is a possibility that people can come into contact with the machine and the pumped liquid
(e.g. at construction sites), the grounded connection must be additionally equipped with a fault current protection
device. The electrical motors conform to motor protection class IP 68 in accordance with the valid norms.
2.6.
Operating procedure
When operating the product, always follow the locally applicable laws and regulations for work safety, accident
prevention and handling electrical machinery. To help to ensure safe working practice, the responsibilities of
employees should be clearly set out by the owner. All personnel are responsible for ensuring that regulations are
observed. Certain parts such as the rotor and propeller rotate during operation in order to pump the fluid. Certain
materials can cause very sharp edges on these parts.
