NOTICE
In order for the pump to draw independently, the fluid
level must be at least 50 mm (SP 7 Dirt Inox) or 7 mm
(SP 6 Flat Inox).
The pump can pump up to a residual fluid height of
35 mm (SP 7 Dirt Inox) or 1 mm (SP 6 Flat Inox).
Automatic venting device
Illustration
With a low fluid level, possibly drawn air or air that is
present in the pump escapes via the automatic venting
device. In addition, fluid may leak at this spot.
If the pump has suction problems with a low fluid level,
unplug and plug in the mains plug repeatedly in order to
support the suction process.
Automatic operation
Illustration
NOTICE
In the automatic mode, the level sensor automatically
controls the pumping operations.
As soon as the level sensor has contact with the rising
feed fluid the pump switches on.
The pump switches off as soon as the level sensor loses
contact with the falling feed fluid and an after-running
time of 15 s has passed.
For switch-on height / switch-off height see the following
table:
Switch-on points SP 6 Flat Inox SP 7 Dirt Inox
With pre-filter, de-
pending on the po-
sition of the level
sensor
Without pre-filter
NOTICE
Ensure that the pump is level.
Otherwise it can happen that the level sensor does not
lose the fluid contact and the pump runs dry.
 Push the level sensor to the desired switch-on
height (contact with feed fluid).
NOTICE
The higher the level sensor is adjusted, the higher the
switch-on and switch-off point.
