2 Safety
11 of 98
UPA / UPA S
3400.86/17-EN
The motors of the UMA-S 150 and UMA-S 200 type series are fitted with strong
permanent magnets at the rotor.
▪Observe the following safety instructions when dismantling/ reassembling the
motor or when storing/ transporting the magnet rotor.
– Users of electronic or magnetisable aids, e.g. pacemakers, hearing aids,
implants, etc. must not perform any work in the vicinity of the rotor. Keep a
safety distance of at least 0.3m.
– Mark the working area with special warnings.
– Metal tools, keys, jewellery and similar items can be attracted by the
magnetic force.
– Electronic devices and data carriers, such as bank cards, security passes, etc.
can become damaged in the vicinity of the magnet rotor.
– The magnet rotor must only be machined (e.g. turned, milled, ground) by
trained specialist personnel.
2.8 Unauthorised modes of operation
Never operate the pump (set) outside the limits stated in the data sheet and in this
operating manual.
The warranty relating to the operating reliability and safety of the pump (set)
supplied is only valid if the equipment is used in accordance with its intended use.
(ðSection2.2,Page9)
2.9 Magnet rotor
DANGER
Strong magnetic field in the area of the magnet rotor of
UMA-S150, UMA-S200 or UMA-S250 submersible motors
Danger of death for persons with pacemaker!
Interference with magnetic data carriers, electronic devices, components and
instruments!
Uncontrolled magnetic attraction forces between magnet-equipped components,
tools or similar!
▷Keep a safety distance of at least 0.3m.
Distance to assembled pump sets:
The safety distance refers to magnet-equipped rotors not yet installed in motors as
well as to loose magnets.
In installed condition the magnetic field is fully shielded so that an assembled motor /
pump set does not pose a hazard as a result of magnetic fields (even to persons with
pacemaker), neither during standstill nor during operation.

Strong magnetic field in the area of the magnet rotor of
UMA-S150, UMA-S200 or UMA-S250 submersible motors
Danger of death for persons with pacemaker!
Interference with magnetic data carriers, electronic devices, components and
instruments!
Uncontrolled magnetic attraction forces between magnet-equipped components,
tools or similar!
▷If the submersible motor is to be returned to the supplier, attach the adhesive
safety notice to the submersible motor. The safety notice must be clearly visible.
UMA-S 150, UMA-S 200 or UMA-S 250 motors as well as pump sets containing these
motors must be clearly marked to identify the motor as a synchronous motor with
permanent magnets. For this purpose, a “synchronous motor” warning sticker is
supplied with the delivery, which must be attached to the motor if it is to be
returned to the supplier.

3.6 Disposal
WARNING
Fluids posing a health hazard
Hazard to persons and the environment!
▷Collect and properly dispose of the flushing liquid and any liquid residues.
▷Wear safety clothing and a protective mask if required.
▷Observe all legal regulations and internal safety information on the disposal of
fluids posing a health hazard.
1. Dismantle the pump (set).
Collect greases and other lubricants during dismantling.
2. Separate and sort the pump materials, e.g. by:
- Metals
- Plastics
- Electronic waste
- Greases and other lubricants
3. Dispose of materials in accordance with local regulations or in another
controlled manner.
Electrical or electronic equipment marked with the adjacent symbol must not be
disposed of in household waste at the end of its service life.
Contact your local waste disposal partner for returns.
If the used electrical or electronic equipment contains personal data, the operator is
responsible for deleting it before the equipment is returned.

▪Hydraulic pump efficiency (%) with trimmed impeller: see data sheet
▪Pump performance curves, including efficiency characteristics: see documented
characteristic curve
▪The efficiency of a pump with a trimmed impeller is usually lower than that of a
pump with the full impeller diameter. Trimming of the impeller will adapt the
pump to a fixed duty point, leading to reduced energy consumption. The
minimum efficiency index (MEI) is based on the full impeller diameter.
▪Operation of this water pump with variable duty points may be more efficient
and economic when controlled, for example, by the use of a variable speed drive
that matches the pump duty to the system.
