4.3.2 Checking direction of rotation
mThe safety hints in the previous sections must be observed!
When three phase units are being commissioned for the first time and also when used on a new site, the
direction of rotation must be carefully checked by a qualified person.
mWhen checking the direction of rotation, the unit should be secured in such a manner that no danger
to personnel is caused by the rotating impeller, or by the resulting air flow. Do not place your hand into
the hydraulic system!
cThe direction of rotation should only be altered by a qualified person.
mWhen carrying out the direction of rotation check as well as when starting the unit pay attention to the
START REACTION. This can be very powerful
ATTENTION
The direction of rotation is correct
if the impeller/propeller rotates in
a clockwise manner when viewing
down from the top of the placed
unit
1020-00
ATTENTION
The start reaction is
anti clockwise
Rotor rotation
NOTE If a number of pumps are connected to a single control panel then each unit must be
individually checked.
ATTENTION The mains supply to the control panel should have a clockwise rotation. If the leads
are connected in accordance with the circuit diagram and lead designations, the
direction of rotation will be correct.
4.3.3 Changing direction of rotation
mThe safety hints in the previous sections must be observed!
cThe direction of rotation should only be altered by a qualified person.
If the direction of rotation is incorrect then this is altered by changing over two phases of the power supply cable
in the control panel. The direction of rotation should then be rechecked
NOTE The direction of rotation measuring device monitors the direction of rotation of the
mains supply or that of an emergency generator

10 Installation and Operating Instructions

5 Commissioning
mThe safety hints in the previous sections must be observed!
gIn explosive zones care must be taken that during switching on and operation of the pumps the pump
section is filled with water (dry running) or alternatively is submerged or under water (wet installation).
Ensure in this case that the minimum submergence given in the data sheet is observed. Other types
of operation e.g. snore operation or dry running are not allowed.
Before commissioning the unit should be checked and a functional test carried out. Particular attention should
be paid to the following:
Have the electrical connections been carried out in accordance with regulations?
Have the thermal sensors been connected?
Is the seal monitoring device (where fitted) correctly installed?
Is the motor overload switch correctly set?
Have the power and control circuit cables been correctly fitted?
Was the sump cleaned out?
Have the inflow and outflows of the pump station been cleaned and checked?
Is the direction of rotation correct - even if run via an emergency generator?
Are the level controls functioning correctly?
Are the required gates valves (where fitted) open?
Do the non-return valves (where fitted) function easily?
Have the hydraulics been vented in the case of dry installed pumps?
6 Maintenance
cBefore commencing any maintenance work the unit should be completely disconnected from the
mains by a qualified person and care should be taken that it cannot be inadvertently switched back on.
mWhen carrying out any repair or maintenance work, the safety regulations covering work in enclosed
areas of sewage installations as well as good general technical pratices should be followed.
NOTE The maintenance hints given here are not designed for “do-it-yourself” repairs as
special technical knowledge is required.
NOTE A maintenance contract with our works service department will guarantee you the
best technical service under all circumstances.
6.1 General maintenance hints
ABS submersible pumps are reliable quality products each being subjected to careful final inspection.
Lubricated-for-life ball bearings together with monitoring devices ensure optimum pump reliability provided that
the pump has been connected and operated in accordance with the operating instructions.
Should, nevertheless, a malfunction occur, do not improvise but ask your ABS customer service department for
assistance.
This applies particularly if the pump is continually switched off by the current overload in the control panel, by
the thermal sensors of the thermo-control system or by the seal monitoring system (DI).
Regular inspection and care is recommended to ensure a long service life.

6.2 Commentary on maintenance of lifting stations in accordance with EN 12056.
It is recommended that the lifting station be inspected monthly and its function checked.
In accordance with EN regulations, the lifting station should be maintained by a qualified person at the following
intervals:
in commercial premises; every three months.
in apartment blocks; every six months.
in a single family home; once a year.
In addition we recommend that a maintenance contract be taken out with a qualified company.
6.3 Oil filling and oil changing
The oil chamber between the motor and the hydraulic section has been filled at manufacture with lubricating oil.
AFP Oil Chamber Oil Fill Quantity
AFP 50 Hz AFP 60 Hz
Pump Type Litres Pump Type Litres
AFP 0831 S22/4 0.6 AFP 0831 S25/4 0.6
AFP 0841 S13/4 0.6 AFP 0841 S16/4 0.6
AFP 0841 S22/4 0.6 AFP 0841 S25/4 0.6
An oil change is only necessary if a fault occurs.
mRepair work on explosion-proof submersible pumps may only be carried out by approved personnel in
approved workshops.
When carrying out repairs only original spare parts, supplied by the manufacturer, should be used.
6.4 Cleaning
If the pump is used for transportable applications, then in order to avoid deposits of dirt and encrustation it
should be cleaned after each usage by pumping clear water. In the case of fixed installation, we recommend
that the functioning of the automatic level control system be checked regularly. By switching the selection switch
(switch setting “HAND”) the sump will be emptied. If deposits of dirt are visible on the floats then these should
be cleaned. After cleaning, the pump should be rinsed out with clear water and a number of automatic pumping
cycles carried out.
6.5 Venting of the volute
After lowering the pump into a sump full of water an air lock may occur in the volute and cause pumping
problems. To clear the air lock, raise the pump in the medium and then lower it again. If necessary, repeat this
venting procedure.
