English SAFETY
2.3. Electrical work
ELECTRICAL hazard!
Incorrectly performed electrical work can
result in fatal injury! This work may only be
carried out by a qualied electrician.
BEWARE of moisture!
Moisture penetrating the cable will damage
both the pump and the cable. Never immerse
the cable end in uid and always protect it
from moisture. Unused wires must be insu-
lated!
Ourpumpsareoperatedwithalternatingor
three-phase current. The governing nation-
aldirectives,standardsandregulations(e.g.
VDE0100)aswellastherequirementsofthelocal
energy supply company must be observed.
The person operating the pump must know
where it is supplied with power and how to cut
off the supply. A motor protection switch must
beinstalledbythecustomerforthree-phaseAC
motors. It is advisable to install a residual-current
device(RCD).Ifthereisapossibilitythatpeople
can come into contact with the pump and the
uid(forexampleonconstructionsites),the
connection must be equipped with an additional
residual-currentdevice(RCD).
Thesectionentitled“Electricalconnection”must
be observed when connecting the product. The
technicalspecicationsmustbeobservedstrictly.
Ourpumpsmustalwaysbegrounded.
If the pump has been switched off by a protec-
tive device, it must not be switched on again
until the error has been corrected.
When the pump is connected to the electrical
controlpanel,particularlywhenelectronicdevices
such as soft start-up control or frequency con-
vertersareused,theswitchgearmanufacturer’s
specicationsmustbefollowedtocomplywith
theelectromagneticcompatibility(EMC)require-
ments. Special separate shielding measures (e.g.
shieldedcables,lters,etc.)maybenecessaryfor
the power supply and control cables.
Connections may only be made providing the
switchgears meet the harmonised EU standards.
Mobile radio equipment may cause malfunc-
tions in the system.
BEWARE of electromagnetic radiation!
Electromagnetic radiation can pose a fatal
risk for people with cardiac stimulators. Put
up appropriate signs and make sure anyone
affected is aware of the danger!
2.4. Safety and monitoring devices
The pumps are equipped with a thermal winding
monitor and leakage connection for the motor.
The pump is switched off if the motor gets too
hot during operation or if liquid gets into the
motor.
These devices must be connected by an electri-
cian and checked to ensure that they function
correctly before commissioning.
Personnel must be informed about the installed
systems and how they work.
CAUTION!
Never operate the pump if the monitoring
devices have been removed or damaged, or if
they do not work.
2.5. Safety rules during operation
Whenoperatingthepump,alwaysfollowthe
locally applicable laws and regulations for work
safety,accidentpreventionandhandlingelec-
trical machinery. To help ensure safe working
practice,theresponsibilitiesofemployeesshould
beclearlyspeciedbytheoperator.Allpersonnel
are responsible for ensuring that regulations are
observed.
Duetotheirdesign,centrifugalpumpshave
rotating parts that are easily accessible. Depend-
ingontheoperatingcondition,sharpedgescan
develop on these parts.
WARNING: Danger of crushing and amputation
of limbs!
Sharp edges can form on the rotating parts in
the hydraulics. These can result in crushing
and amputation of limbs.
• Never reach into the hydraulics when the
machine is in operation.
• Before performing maintenance or repairs,
switch off the pump, disconnect it from the
mains and secure it against being switched on
again without authorization.
• Always allow the rotating parts to come to a
standstill!

uid,observethefollowingpoints:

sealing chamber if the mechanical shaft seal is
defective.
Use with potable water is not permitted!
• Pumps that have been operated in dirty waste
water must be cleaned thoroughly before being
usedforotheruids.
• Pumps that have been operated in sewage water
containingfaecesand/oruidsthatarehazardous
to health must be decontaminated before being
usedwithotheruids.
