SITUATION OF GENERAL DANGER.
Failure to respect the instructions that follow may cause harm to
persons and property.
WARNINGS
Read this documentation carefully before installation.
Installation and operation must comply with the local safety reg-
ulations in force in the country in which the product is installed.
Everything must be done in a workmanlike manner.
Failure to respect the safety regulations not only causes risk to
personal safety and damage to the equipment, but invalidates
every right to assistance under guarantee.
Skilled personnel
It is advisable that installation be carried out by competent, skilled
personnel in possession of the technical qualications required by
the specic legislation in force.
The term skilled personnel means persons whose training, experi-
ence and instruction, as well as their knowledge of the respective
standards and requirements for accident prevention and working
conditions, have been approved by the person in charge of plant
safety, authorizing them to perform all the necessary activities,
during which they are able to recognize and avoid all dangers.
(Denition for technical personnel IEC 364)
The appliance may be used by children over 8 years old and by
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, or
who lack experience or knowledge, on condition that they are
under supervision or after they have received instructions con-
cerning the safe use of the appliance and the understanding of
the dangers involved. Children must not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance intended to be carried out by the user
must not be performed by children without supervision.

Safety
Use is allowed only if the electric system is in possession of safe-
ty precautions in accordance with the regulations in force in the
country where the product is installed.(for Italy CEI 64/2)
The power supply cable must never be used to carry or shift the
pump.
Never pull on the cable to detach the plug from the socket.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer or by their authorised technical assistance service, so as
to avoid any risk.
Failure to observe the warnings may create situations of risk for persons or
property and will void the product guarantee.
RESPONSIBILITY
The Manufacturer does not vouch for correct operation of
the electropumps or answer for any damage that they may
cause if they have been tampered with, modied and/or run
outside the recommended work range or in contrast with
other indications given in this manual.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for possible er-
rors in this instructions manual, if due to misprints or errors
in copying. The Manufacturer reserves the right to make any
modications to products that it may consider necessary or
useful, without a󰀨ecting their essential characteristics
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Genix VT systems are compact small automatic lifting stations, suitable for
pumping domestic waste water, where evacuation by gravity is not possi-
ble.
The utilities connected to this system can be used normally and require
minimum maintenance.
The system will operate automatically as soon as the required level of
water enters the tank.
1. APPLICATIONS
Genix systems are indicated exclusively for the treatment of domestic
waste water from sinks, bathtubs, showers, or from washing machines
and dishwashers.
The product must be fastened to the oor to prevent uplift and turning.
2. PUMPED LIQUIDS
The product is only suitable for pumping wastewater from a cab-
inet shower, bidet and dishwashers. Not for heavy-duty public,
commercial or industrial use, and only for a limited number of
users.
Any damage due to foreign bodies (wet wipes, food, cotton wool,
tampons, hair, cotton cloths, wood, metal or plastic objects) or
due to pumping liquids such as solvents, strong chemical agents
and oil will not be covered by the guarantee.
Ordinary liquids for cleaning of the appliances connected. pH val-
ue: 4-10.
Maximum using temperature 90°C (for 30 min)
The product is sized for a maximum volume of 10 l litres and a
maximum inlet of 130 l/min.
3. INSTALLATION
The system must never be lifted by its power cable to carry it.
The product must be accessible for maintenance and repair.
The product must be placed in a frost-free room to prevent the
pumped liquid from freezing.
Make sure that all external pipework is adequately insulated.The
discharge pipe must be made of rigid material, such as copper,
or of rigid PVC with solvent-welded joints.To prevent the trans-
mission of vibrations to buildings, make sure that the pipework
is thoroughly xed and that ttings cannot move and are not in
contact with building parts.

Make sure to a󰀩x the “WaterMark” and “Prohibited items” stickers
in a clearly visible location on the device.
Installation in accordance with Plumbing Code of Australia
and AS/NZS3500.
4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Make sure that the product is suitable for the supply voltage and
frequency available at the installation site.The electrical connec-
tion must be carried out in accordance with local regulations.
The product must be earthed.
The installation must include an earth leakage circuit breaker for
protection against earth fault currents. Thisensures protection
when using a Schuko plug or another plug with earth pin.The
product must be connected to a mains switch with a minimum
contact gap of 3 mm in all poles.In case of overtemperature, a
thermal switch cuts out the motor and cuts it in automatically when
it has cooled su󰀩ciently.
5. ACCESSORIES
1- An alarm device for acoustic alarm in case of malfunction or high level
in the tank is available as an accessory (noise level 75 dB(A)). Product
number: 60166477.
2- A kit containing: a hose (length 500mm) with adapter, available as an
accessory. Product code 60168126

6. MAINTENANCE
The system does not require any particular maintenance, but we recom-
mend checking the operation and couplings of the pipes at least once a
year.
6.1 Adjustment of run time
The default setting ensures proper operation in most pipework. If the pipe-
work is particularly long or short, it may be necessary to adjust the run
time.
6.2 Service instructions
Thanks to the product design, service is easy in case of malfunction or
blocked pump.
Digits in the following sections refer to the pictures in the appendix “Trou-
bleshooting”.
Before carrying out any service work, remove the fuse, pull out
the plug, or switch o󰀨 the power supply. Make sure that the pow-
er supply cannot be accidentally switched on.All rotating parts
must have stopped moving.The product must only be serviced by
trained service personnel.
Impeller stuck
1. Disconnect the power supply
2. Remove the motor cover cap.
3. Insert a screwdriver (min. 110 mm) through the plug hole and into the
slot of the shaft end.Turn the shaft right and left to free the impeller from
dirt.

Operation by means of a power drill
1. Disconnect the power supply
2. If the product cannot be operated by electrical power, the toilet and sys-
tem can be emptied by means of a power drill.
Pressure switch pipe clogged
1. Disconnect the power supply
2. Unscrew the screw of the motor cover and remove the cover
3. If the water level is above the motor ange, empty the tank by means of
the appropriate tap and the hose (supplied).
4. Unscrew the screws of the board holder.
5. Remove the pressure switch pipe.
6. Clean the rubber hose and check the opening on the tank.
Foreign body in tank
1. Disconnect the power supply
2. Unscrew the screw of the motor cover and remove the cover
3. If the water level is above the motor ange, empty the tank by means of
the appropriate tap and the hose (supplied).
4. Unscrew the side screw of the motor ring
5. Lift the motor ange to reduce the compression of the O-ring. Insert a
screwdriver into the notch underneath the supply cable and press it down.
6. Extract the complete motor unit by means of the handles (lift the unit
vertically before tilting it).
7. Check and clean the tank and impeller/grinder.
Carbon lter
1. Remove the lter cover
2. Replace the lter
The carbon lter should be replaced once a year to ensure su󰀩cient
lter function.
Instead of using the activated carbon lter, the system can also vent
through a vent pipe with diameter 20.
