Functional test
A functional test must be carried out before laying the screed.
Motor noises on starting up are not a cause for concern as they
are normal in synchronous motors.
Fill water in from above through the floor drain and get the
Plancofix to pump out several times. Avoid directing the water
into the suction area of the pump to prevent ventilation prob-
lems. (Please do not hold the hand shower directly into the col-
lection space). The full water capacity must be pumped!
Also check for leaks in the inlet and pressure pipe. Later
changes can only be made with a considerable effort.
Laying the screed
NOTICE! The Plancofix must be weighted down to keep it in po-
sition during application of the screed.
The entire area can now be filled with screed.
After the screed has set, the enclosed square seal is bonded to
the integrated sealing strip. After the customer has attached a
further thinbed waterproofing system, the area can be tiled.
Secondary drainage
Secondary drainage can be provided by drilling holes (Ø 5mm)
all round the edge above the sealing membrane.
Information on sealants and adhesives can be found in the in-
formation sheet on "Composite sealing" issued by the profes-
sional association of the German tile industry within the Ger-
man Construction Confederation (ZDB).
Differences in height between individual tiles can be offset by
adjusting the plastic screws under the lid element.
For aesthetic reasons, the edge covers included in the pack-
age can be fitted.
Both of the stainless steel cover elements (a) can also be com-
pletely tiled over (b). To do so, just turn the larger element over,
and use the smaller element without a drain.
Notice! Do not seal the inner side of the gap that runs around
the edge.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Before carrying out any work, always disconnect the Plancofix
from the power supply and ensure that it cannot be switched
on again by other persons.
The system is largely maintenance-free. However, the interior
of the container should be cleaned of adhesions and deposits
on a monthly basis. To do so, simply lift the cover off and then
clean the inside carefully with a paintbrush.
The float does not have to be dismantled and may only be
pulled up to noticeable resistance!
NOTICE! Do not use aggressive drain cleaners!
If the hydraulic system is blocked, pull the red fixing element
upwards and take it out. Next, gently loosen the hydraulic sys-
tem and remove it. After cleaning, make sure that when you
re-insert it, the swing-type check valve and the two seals are
firmly in place. To facilitate assembly, apply a little lubricant to
the two sealing rings before fitting. Finally, the red fixation is
inserted.
