2.7. Safety and control devices
Our products are equipped with various safety and con-
trol devices. These include, for example suction strainers,
thermo sensors, sealed room monitor etc. These devices
must never be dismantled or disabled. Equipment such as
thermo sensors, float switches, etc. must be checked by
an electrician for proper functioning before start-up (see
the "Electrical Connection" data sheet). Please remember
that certain equipment requires a decoder device or relay
to function properly, e.g. posistor and PT100 sensor. This
decoder can be obtained from the manufacturer or a spe-
cialist electronics dealer.
Personnel must be informed of the installations used and
how they work.
Caution!
Never operate the machine if the safety and monitor-
ing devices have been removed or damage, or if they
do not work.
2.8. Operation in an explosive atmosphere
Products marked as explosion-proof are suitable for opera-
tion in an explosive atmosphere. The products must meet
certain guidelines for this type of use. Certain rules of con-
duct and guidelines must be adhered to by the operator
as well. Products that have been approved for operation
in an explosive atmosphere are marked as explosion-pro-
tected "Ex" . In addition, an "Ex" symbol must be included
on the type plate! When used in an explosive atmosphere,
the additional chapter entitled "Explosion protection
according to the ...standard" must be observed!
2.9. Sound pressure
Depending on the size and capacity (kW), the products
produce a sound pressure of approximately 60 dB (A) and
110 dB (A). The actual sound pressure, however, depends
on several factors. These include, for example, the instal-
lation type (wet, dry, transportable), fastening of accesso-
ries (e.g. suspension unit) and pipeline, operating site, im-
mersion depth, etc. Once the product has been installed,
we recommend that the operator make additional mea-
surements under all operating conditions.
Caution: Wear ear protectors!
In accordance with the laws in effect, guidelines,
standards and regulations, ear protection must be
worn if the sound pressure is greater than 85 dB (A)!
The operator is responsible for ensuring that this is
observed!
2.10. Pumped fluids
Each pumped fluid differs in regard to composition, cor-
rosiveness, abrasiveness, TS content and many other
aspects. Generally, our products can be used for many
applications. For more precise details, see chapter 3, the
machine data sheet and the order confirmation. It should
be remembered that if the density, viscosity or the general
composition change, this can also alter many parameters
of the product. Different materials and impeller shapes
are required for different pumped fluids. The more exact
your specifications on your order, the more exactly we can
modify our product to meet your requirements.
If the area of application and/or the pumped fluid change,
we will be happy to offer supportive advice.
When switching the product into another pumped fluid,
observe the following points:
•
Products which have been operated in sewage or
waste water must be thoroughly cleaned with pure
water or drinking water before use.
•
Products which have pumped fluids which are haz-
ardous to health must always be decontaminated be-
fore changing to a new fluid. Also clarify whether the
product may be used in a different pumped fluid.
•
With products which have been operated with a
lubricant or cooling fluid (such as oil), this can escape
into the pumped fluid if the mechanical shaft seal is
defective.
Danger - explosive fluids!
It is absolutely prohibited to pump explosive liquids
(e.g. gasoline, kerosene, etc.). The products are not
designed for these liquids!
3. General description
3.1. Use
The pumps are suitable for conveying chemically aggres-
sive pumped mediums with solid particles (see 3.3 for
grain size). Scope of application: e.g. wastewater dispos-
al in industrial and commercial areas, lowering of surface
water level. Emergency use in the event of flooding.
With chemically aggressive components in the pumped
medium, the resistance of the pump materials used must
be noted at all times. The pumps are suitable for both
mobile and stationary operation. Free-standing installation
on firm base is possible. The pumps are not suitable for
conveying mediums with strongly abrasive components
(e.g. sand, gravel, stones). The minimal level of the medi-
um must always be above the upper edge of the suction
filter. Use in slurp mode is not permitted.
