1.3 Commentary on the legal regulations covering the use of lifting stations for the
pumping of faecal free efuent.
Automatically operated lifting stations are prescribed if:
the water level in the odour lock of the efuent source lies below the sewer backwash level.
rainwater gullies are present where the upper edge of the inlet grid lies below the sewer backwash level.
The sewer backwash level is the maximum possible water level in the public sewer network. Information on this
can be obtained from your local authority. If the backwash level has not been xed by the local authority, then
the surface level of the roadway at the connection point is taken to be the level.
The regulations also require that all waste-water which can cause offensive odours must be collected in closed,
odour-tight, and free-standing collection tanks.
The collection tanks must be vented by vent pipes which are brought above roof level.
ATTENTION The regulations of DIN 1986/100 EN 12050 and 12056 should be observed!
1.4 Description
The waste-water lifting stations of the Nirolift/Sanisett consist of a synthetic collection tank which is waterproof
in according with DIN/EN 12050-2, together with a cover plate with odour preventing lter and lockable oor
inlet.
The Sanisett is also supplied with a junction piece for the discharge line and a bracket for the level control.
The collection tank is supplied as standard with a number of closed off inlet ports. The inlet ports DN 100
Nirolift and DN 100/150 Sanisett can be opened as required (See Figure 3).
The waste water entering via the inlet ports is collected in the collection tank. When a preset liquid level is
reached then the Nirolift/Sanisett with one submersible pump is started up either by means of the oat switch
tted to the pump itself, or connected into the control panel, and is switched off again when the tank is emptied.
NOTE In the case of twin units installed in accordance with DIN/EN 12056, one submersible
pump must be capable of pumping all the efuent. The second pump is only a stand-
by unit.
2 Safety
The general and specic health and safety hints are described in detail in the separate booklet Safety Hints. If
anything is not clear or you have any questions as to safety make certain to contact the manufacturer ABS.
3 Transport
m During transport the unit should not be dropped or thrown.

4.1 Installation of the collection tank
Set the collection tank on a bed of sand in the prepared opening of dimensions approximately 600x600x750mm
Nirolift and 1100x900x850 mm Sanisett in a frost free area and ensure that it is horizontal in all directions.
Place the tank in such a manner that the vent openings are in line with the chosen pipe directions.
If for reasons of the progress of construction work it is impossible to install the venting and pressure pipes
before pouring of the concrete one has to use a polystyrene core between the tank and the intended wall to
allow an assembly of the pipes later.
NOTE During concreting, the collection tank should be prevented from oating upwards
and should also be closed off with the plastic cover. This will avoid the danger that
the edge of the tank could be pressed inwards.
If there is a danger of pressure arising due to ground water, then the concrete surround of the collection tank
must be laid at the same time as the cellar oor, and should be closed off tightly on all sides (including under
the tank). The pipes must also be laid in the concrete.
If there is no danger of ground water pressure then a gravel bed and cementing in of the upper portion of the
collection tank is adequate
4.2 Installation of the submersible pump
The Nirolift has been designed for tting of submersible pumps from the Robusta, Coronada or
MF 054-334 series.
The Sanisett has been designed for tting of submersible pumps from the Robusta, Coronada or MF or
Piranha 08/09 series.
A suitable installation Kit should be chosen depending on the type of pump selected.
NOTE The connection or junction piece is already tted in the Nirolift or Sanisett collection
tank.
The tting of the submersible pumps is given in the leaet supplied with the installation kit.

Installation and Operating Instructions 7

4.3 Opening of the collection tank inlet ports
Only open inlet ports that are to be used. Only saw off as little as possible so that as much neck as possible is
left for the plug connection. (Note the notch on the port neck).
File down sharp edge inside and outside.
4.4 Discharge line
The discharge line must be installed in compliance with the relevant regulations.
DIN 1986/100 and EN 12056 applies in particular to the following:
The discharge line should be tted with a backwash loop (180° bend) located above the backwash level and
should then ow by gravity into the collection line or sewer.
The discharge line should not be connected to a down pipe.
No other inows or discharge lines should be connected to this discharge line.
ATTENTION The discharge line should be installed so that it is not affected by frost.
The vent line is connected by means of a push-on sleeve to the vertical outlet at the top of the collection tank.
It should be of constant cross-section (min. DN 70) and should have a continuous rise to above roof level.
4.5 Mounting of the upper tting
Insert the white plastic installation cover into the frame of the upper tting. The cover is only suitable for
foot trafc (See Figure 5).
Adjust the upper tting in the tank opening until the edge of the rim is level with the nished oor. The rim
should also be parallel with the wall or oor tiles.
When installation is complete remove the installation cover and insert the cover with siphon into the frame.
This cover is only suitable for foot trafc.
Height adjustments up to 130 mm is possible by pushing in or pushing out the upper tting. It is possible to
increase the depth at which the collection tank is installed by the use of one sump extension piece. These
extend the sump by 150 mm.
ATTENTION A maximum of 1 sump extension piece may be tted.
4.6 Location of power supply cable and oat switch
The connection cable for the pump is fed through the cable pipe and brought into the room where the power
supply is located by means of a branch pipe (T-piece). The connection cable is fed through the slot in the cable
inlet and the cable inlet itself is pushed rmly into the branch pipe.
NOTE In the case of twin units the connection cables for the oat switches should be laid in
a similar manner to the pump power cable.
