The pump is suitable for:
Incorrect application of the pump (e.g. resulting in
blocking of the pump) and wear are not covered by
the warranty.
2.2 Storage and operating conditions
2.3 Sound pressure level
The sound pressure level of the pump is lower than
the limiting values stated in the EC Council Directive
2006/42/EC relating to machinery.
3. Safety
4. Electrical connection
The electrical connection should be carried out in
accordance with local regulations.
The pump must be connected to an external mains
switch. If the pump is not installed close to the
switch, this must be of a lockable type.
The operating voltage and frequency are marked on
the pump nameplate. Please make sure that the
motor is suitable for the electricity supply on which it
will be used.
Three-phase pumps must be connected to an
external motor starter with differential release and
with a minimum contact gap of 3 mm. The set
nominal current of the motor starter must correspond
to the electrical data marked on the pump
nameplate.
If a level switch is connected to a three-phase pump,
the motor starter must be magnetically operated.
Single-phase pumps incorporate thermal overload
protection and require no additional motor
protection.
