1 General
1.1 Application areas
ATTENTION The maximum allowable temperature of the medium pumped:
Sanimax R 202 & R 202C, Sanimax MF 154 & 324 = 40 °C
Sanimax MF 154HW = 80 °C
The Sanimax with Sulzer submersible pump has been designed for the dewatering of buildings below the sewer
level. It is suitable for faecal-free e󰀪uent in accordance with EN 12056/DIN 1986-100.
The Sanimax is a compact wastewater lifting unit which can be installed under or beside the wastewater source
at oor level.
In accordance with the regulations for e󰀪uent lifting stations, pumping of e󰀪uent containing faecal
matter, or the pumping of ammable or explosive uids, is not allowed with these lifting stations.
Examples of substances that should not be allowed into the tank:
• Aggressive uids such as acids, lyes (caustic soda) or salts.
• Flammable liquids such as petrol, oil or phenols.
• Commercial and agricultural waste.
• Solid substances such as ash, rubbish, glass, sand, brous material, cardboard, paper towels, textiles,
diapers, kitchen waste, co󰀨ee grounds, shredder waste.
• Liquid substances that can harden, such as bitumen, cement, lime, lime milk (whitewash), mortar, potato
starch, grease (edible oils and fats), synthetic resin, synthetic resin emulsion, tar, paint residues.
• Cleaning agents, disinfectants.
• Abrasive material.
ATTENTION As with all electrical devices, this product may fail due to operating errors, absence
of mains voltage, or even a technical defect. Such a failure may result in medium
or water escaping. If damage may occur due to the specic usage, measures
are required to avoid such damage arising. In this respect, taking account of the
conditions in question, particularly use of an o-grid alarm system, use of an
emergency generator, and provision of an additional and appropriately connected
second unit are to be considered.
Sanimax R 202 & R 202C, Sanimax MF 154 & 324
This product is only suitable for removing clear and dirty water up to a water temperature of 40 °C or
up to a maximum of 60 °C during short-term operation.
If the system is fed water from units such as washing machines, then the maximum water temperature
could be exceeded if the device is not equipped with discharge cooling or if this is not switched on,
e.g. in order to save energy.
This may cause damage to the pump or the pumping system. In such case Sulzer will not accept any
guarantee or warranty claim.
If necessary, contact the manufacturer of the device or devices provided for connection (e.g. washing
machines) to obtain information on how to switch on discharge cooling. If not possible then we
recommend installation of the Sanimax MF 154HW model (see below).
Our systems are checked in accordance with EN 12050 LGA and conform to the current standards.
Also note that the maximum inlet temperature to the public sewer system is 35 °C and that you must
ensure that the water is cooled accordingly.
Sanimax MF 154HW
Sanimax MF 154HW is designed for the pumping of high temperature liquids up to a maximum of 80 °C.
All inow and discharge pipework to the unit must be temperature resistant accordingly and is the
responsibility of the customer.

1.3 Summary of the legal regulations covering the use of lifting stations for the pumping
of faecal-free e󰀪uent.
Automatically operated lifting units are prescribed if:
- the water level in the odour lock lies below the sewer backwash level.
- rainwater gullies from areas below the sewer backwash level are present.
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.
If the e󰀪uent does not give rise to foul odours, then a water-tight connection tank tted with a lid is acceptable.
ATTENTION! The Regulations of DIN 1986 as well as your own local by-laws should be observed.
2 Safety
The general and specic health and safety guidelines are described in detail in the “Safety Instructions for
Sulzer Products Type ABS” booklet. If anything is not clear or you have any questions as to safety make certain
to contact the manufacturer Sulzer.
This unit can be used by children aged 8 years and above, and
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, when they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the
device and understand the hazards involved. Children must
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
should not be performed by children without supervision.

5.2 Discharge Line
As shown in the installation example below, the discharge line outer diameter 40 mm should be brought
above the backwash loop (180° bend) and then allowed to ow by gravity into the collection sewer or channel
(regulations EN 12056 and DIN 1986/100).
The discharge line should be laid so that it is not a󰀨ected by frost.
The discharge line should not be connected to a downpipe. No other discharge lines or inows should be
connected to the discharge line.
Select a suitable tank port for the discharge line and remove the plug. If necessary, rotate the rubber bend to
suit. The discharge line inside the tank should be inserted (at least 30 mm) into the rubber bend. Tighten the
hose clamps thoroughly. For further details see pump installation sheet (MF 15975136 and Robusta 15975137)
supplied with the unit.
All other tank openings can be used in a similar manner.
The non-return valve tted into the rubber discharge line connection adapter, must be installed in such a
manner that the non-return valve opens in the ow direction. Ensure that the ap is orientated so that the hinge
is at the highest point.

5.3 Electrical connection
Before operating, have a qualied person check that all required electrical protective measures are
present. Earthing, neutral line, earth leakage circuit breakers, etc. must correspond to the regulations
of your local Electricity Supply Provider and must function perfectly.
ATTENTION! Cross-section and voltage drop of the power line must correspond with the local
Electricity Supply Board regulations.
ATTENTION! Check that the voltage on the nameplate of the pump is the same as the mains
voltage.
The unit is tted with a oat switch, which automatically switches on and o󰀨 the pump at the pre-set switching
heights.
The earthed socket should, depending on type tted, be installed at the prescribed distance from the
lifting station and water source.

5.5 Hand wash basin connection
For hand wash basin connection, remove the plug in the cover and push the
S-bend tube downward into the unit. Connect the S-bend to the hand wash
basin. Do not fully tighten the plastic nuts. Determine the tube length (allow
approximately 20 mm of the tube to enter the unit), cut to size and carry out
nal assembly.
1058-00
Figure 7: Hand wash basin connection
5.6 Shower connection (only used with Sanimax R202 & R202/C)
When connecting a shower, one of the lower tank ports should be used.
The height di󰀨erence between the oor of the shower and the oor of the
tank of the lifting unit should be to EN/DIN in accordance with the illustration.
In the case of a greater distance between the Sanimax R202 & R202/C
and the shower basin, it is necessary to make an addition to allow for the
recommended fall for gravity ow. The shower basin must then be located at a
higher level.
1059-00
Figure 8: Shower connection
Before closing the tank lid, carry out a test run. This is done by allowing water to ow into the tank and
observing the functioning of the pump switching heights.
Sanimax R202 & R202/C: ON = 85 mm; OFF = 55 mm approx.
Sanimax MF: ON = 225 mm; OFF = 50 mm approx.
In order to ensure that it is correctly sealed, the tank cover, with the pipe inlet to the back, is placed in position
and pressed until all four moulded securing clips are fully engaged.
