Direction of rotation check
for (3~) version only:
• If the phase sequence is incorrect, there is an 
acoustic signal as well as an optical display by the 
flashing of all LEDs from right to left (running 
light) and the collective fault signal is active. 
NOTE: To protect the pump from rotating in the 
wrong direction, automatic start-up or switching 
on by hand is not possible when the direction of 
rotation check is triggered.
• If the direction of rotation is wrong, exchange two 
phases with each other.
Inserting the rechargeable battery (accessory) 
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury!
There is a danger of electric shock by touching 
live components when working on the open 
switchgear. 
This work may only be carried out by qualified 
personnel.
To insert the rechargeable battery, switch the 
device so it is voltage-free and secure it against 
being switched on again without authorisation.
CAUTION! Risk of property damage!
When using a normal battery, there is the risk 
that it may drain damaging the switchgear.
Only use rechargeable batteries!
• Insert the rechargeable battery in the provided 
holder. Make sure the polarity is correct.
• Fasten the rechargeable battery with the enclosed 
cable tie (Figs. 4 and 5, item 3).
NOTE: The rechargeable battery must be fully 
charged at the time of commissioning or must be 
charged for 24 h in the switchgear.
8.1 Decommissioning
The unit must be decommissioned prior to main-
tenance or dismantling work.
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury!
There is a danger of electric shock by touching 
live components when working on the open 
switchgear. 
This work may only be carried out by qualified 
personnel.
Dismantling and installation
Dismantling and installation by qualified person-
nel only!
• Switch off automatic mode by pressing the Stop 
button.
• Disconnect the switchgear/system from the 
power supply and secure it against being switched 
on again.
9Maintenance
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury!
There is a mortal danger through shock when 
working on electrical equipment.
• The system should be electrically isolated and 
secured against unauthorised switch-on during 
any maintenance or repair work.
• Work on the electrical part of the unit may only 
be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Before carrying out maintenance work and repairs, 
observe the “Decommissioning” chapter.
The unit operator must make sure all the mainte-
nance, inspection and installation work is per-
formed by authorised and qualified personnel who 
have informed themselves sufficiently by study-
ing the installation and operating instructions in 
detail.
• If the switchgear is used in sewage lifting units, 
maintenance is to be carried out by skilled person-
nel in accordance with EN 12056-4. The mainte-
nance intervals must not exceed:
• ¼ year in the case of commercial companies
• ½ year for units in multi-family houses
• 1 year for units in single-family houses.
• Carry out a visual inspection of the electric sec-
tion.
• A maintenance report must be issued.
NOTE: When drafting a maintenance plan, expen-
sive repairs can be avoided and a fault-free oper-
ation of the system can be achieved with a 
minimum of maintenance effort. Wilo's customer 
service is available for commissioning and mainte-
nance work.
After maintenance and repair work, install and 
connect the unit as described in the chapter 
“Installation and electrical connection”. Switch on 
the system as described in the “Commissioning” 
chapter.
