Explanation of the terms:
Technical personnel
A qualified employee is deemed to be a person
who is able to assess the tasks assigned to him
and recognise possible dangers based on
his/her technical training, knowledge and expe‐
rience, as well as knowledge of pertinent regu‐
lations.
Note:
A qualification of equal validity to a technical
qualification can also be gained by several
years employment in the relevant work area.
Electrical technician
Electrical technicians are deemed to be people,
who are able to complete work on electrical
systems and recognise and avoid possible dan‐
gers independently based on their technical
training and experience, as well as knowledge
of pertinent standards and regulations.
Electrical technicians should be specifically
trained for the working environment in which
they are employed and know the relevant
standards and regulations.
Electrical technicians must comply with the pro‐
visions of the applicable statutory directives on
accident prevention.
Instructed person
An instructed person is deemed to be a person
who has been instructed and, if required,
trained in the tasks assigned to him/her and
possible dangers that could result from
improper behaviour, as well as having been
instructed in the required protective equipment
and protective measures.
Service

technicians, who have received proven training
and have been authorised by ProMinent or Pro‐
Maqua to work on the system.

Safety information
WARNING!
Warning about personal and material
damage
The pump can start to pump, as soon
as it is connected to the mains voltage.
– Install an emergency cut-off switch
in the pump power supply line or
integrate the pump in the emer‐
gency cut-off management of the
system.
WARNING!
Danger of electric shock
A mains voltage may exist inside the
pump housing.
– If the pump housing has been
damaged, you must disconnect it
from the mains immediately. It
may only be returned to service
after an authorised repair.
WARNING!
Warning of hazardous feed chemical
Should a dangerous feed chemical be
used: it may escape from the hydraulic
components when working on the
pump, material failure or incorrect han‐
dling of the pump.
– Take appropriate protective meas‐
ures before working on the pump
(e.g. safety glasses, safety
gloves, ...). Adhere to the material
safety data sheet for the feed
chemical.
–Drain and flush the liquid end
before working on the pump.
WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very
serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling haz‐
ardous substances that you have read
the latest safety data sheets provided
by the manufacture of the hazardous
substance. The actions required are
described in the safety data sheet.
Check the safety data sheet regularly
and replace, if necessary, as the
hazard potential of a substance can be
re-evaluated at any time based on new
findings.
The system operator is responsible for
ensuring that these safety data sheets
are available and that they are kept up
to date, as well as for producing an
associated hazard assessment for the
workstations affected.
Safety chapter

CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying
around
Feed chemical can spray out of the
hydraulic components if they are
manipulated or opened due to pressure
in the liquid end and adjacent parts of
the system.
– Disconnect the pump from the
mains power supply and ensure
that it cannot be switched on again
by unauthorised persons.
–Depressurise the system before
commencing any work on
hydraulic parts.
CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying
around
An unsuitable feed chemical can
damage the parts of the pump that
come into contact with the chemical.
– Take into account the resistance
of the wetted materials and the
ProMinent Resistance List when
selecting the feed chemical - see
the ProMinent Product Catalogue
or visit ProMinent.
CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying
around
The metering pump can generate a
multiple of its rated pressure. Hydraulic
parts can rupture if a discharge line is
blocked.
– Correctly install a relief valve in the
discharge line downstream of the
metering pump.
CAUTION!
Danger of personnel injury and material
damage
The use of untested third party parts
can result in personnel injuries and
material damage.
– Only fit parts to metering pumps,
which have been tested and rec‐
ommended by ProMinent.
CAUTION!
Danger from incorrectly operated or
inadequately maintained pumps
Danger can arise from a poorly acces‐
sible pump due to incorrect operation
and poor maintenance.
– Ensure that the pump is acces‐
sible at all times.
–Adhere to the maintenance inter‐
vals.
