2.2. General safety information
• The system must be de-energised before any
work is performed (installation, dismantling,
maintenance). The alarm switchgear must be
disconnected from all power sources (electricity
grid, rechargeable battery)!
• The operator must report any faults or irregulari-
ties that occur to a line manager immediately.
• Where damage occurs to electrical components,
the housing and/or the cables, the alarm switch-
gear must be shut down immediately by the
operator.
• The alarm switchgear must not be installed in
potentiallyexplosiveareas.Thereisariskof
explosions.
These instructions must be strictly observed.
Non-observance can result in injury or substan-
tial material damage.
2.3. Electrical work
DANGER due to electrical voltage!
Improper procedures during electrical work
may result in fatal injuries caused by electrical
voltage! This work may only be carried out by
a qualied electrician.
BEWARE of moisture!
Ingress of moisture will result in damage to
the alarm switchgear. During installation and
operation, observe the permissible humidity
and ensure the alarm switchgear is installed
so it is overow-proof.
The alarm switchgear is operated on the usual
power sources. The governing national directives,
standards and regulations (e.g. VDE 0100) as well
as the requirements of the local energy supply
company must be observed for the connection.
The person operating the alarm switchgear must
know where it is supplied with electrical power
and how to cut off the supply. A residual-current
device (RCD) must be provided by the customer.
The section entitled ‘Electrical connection’ must
be observed when connecting the product. The
technicalspecicationsmustbeobservedstrictly.
The alarm switchgear must always be earthed.
Todothis,connecttheprotectiveearthcon-
ductor at the earth terminal indicated (;). The
cross-section of the cable for the protective earth
conductor must comply with the local regula-
tions. Alarm switchgear with connected plugs is
earthed via the plug.
If the alarm switchgear has been switched off
by a protective device, it must not be switched
on again until the fault has been corrected.
2.4. Conduct during operation
When operating the alarm switchgear, always
follow the locally applicable laws and regulations

dent prevention regulations and trade association
safety provisions.
5.2. Installation types
• Wall mounting
5.3. Installation
DANGER from installation within potentially
explosive areas!
The alarm switchgear is not approved for po-
tentially explosive areas and must always be
installed outside such areas! Non-observance
may lead to fatal injury due to explosion!
Always have the connection carried out by a
qualied electrician.
The following information must be observed
wheninstallingthealarmswitchgear:
• Theworkmustbecarriedoutbyaqualied
electrician.
• The installation location must be clean, dry and
freeofvibrations.Avoidexposingthealarm
switchgear to direct sunlight.
• The customer must provide the power supply
cables.Thesemustbeofsufcientlengthsothat
connection to the alarm switchgear is possi-
ble without any problems (no tugging on the
cable, no kinking, no crushing). Check the cable
cross-section used and the installation type se-
lected,andwhetherthecablelengthissufcient.
The power supply cables should not be installed
with power supply cables of other devices run on
high voltage current. This could cause malfunc-
tions.
• The following ambient conditions must be ob-
served:
• Ambient/operatingtemperature:-20...+50°C
• Max.relativehumidity:50%
• Overow-proofinstallation
NOTE
The following information must be observed
when installing the alarm switchgear DrainAl-
arm-GSM:
• There must not be any items with a lot of steel
or water at the installation site. In addition to
this, there should not be any electrical equip-
mentwhichcouldgeneratestrongelectricelds
at the installation site (e.g. motors, radio devic-
es). That could weaken the GSM signal.
• The GSM antenna is self-adhesive. A suitable
surface must be available for installation.
• In order to avoid misplacement of the alarm
switchgear, the signal strength at the installa-
tion site should be tested with a mobile phone.
Ensure that the mobile phone uses the same
provider as the alarm switchgear. The signal
strengthcanvarysignicantlyfromproviderto
provider.
5.3.1. Basic advice on xing the alarm switchgear
The alarm switchgear can be installed on various
constructions (concrete wall, mounting rail etc.).
Forthisreason,thexationmaterialprovidedby
the customer must be suitable for the relevant
construction.
Observethefollowinginstructionsforthexation
material:
• Ensure the proper edge clearance in order to
prevent the construction material tearing or
chipping.
• The depth of the hole depends on the length of
the bolts. The hole should be 5 mm deeper than
the bolt length.
• Drilling dust impairs holding strength. Therefore,
always blow or vacuum out the borehole.
• Makesurethexationmaterialisnotdamaged
during installation.
5.3.2. Installing the alarm switchgear
Thealarmswitchgearisgenerallyxedtothewall
using 4 screws and 4 anchors.
1. Remove the cover on the alarm switchgear and
place this on the intended assembly area.
2. Mark out the 4 holes on the mounting surface and
place the alarm switchgear to one side again.
See the base of the alarm switchgear for the
hole spacing.
3. Drilltheholesaccordingtothespecications
forthexationmaterialused.Observetheuse
instructions.

4. Fixthealarmswitchgeartothewall.
5. Attach the cover to the housing again.
5.3.3. Monitoring a level
For level measurement, a corresponding signal
transmitter must be installed and connected.
• DrainAlarm:Floatswitch
• DrainAlarmGSM:Floatswitchorlevelsensor
The signal transmitter is to be provided onsite.
The signal transmitters must be installed in the
operating space in accordance with system’s
installation plan.
Notethefollowingpointswhenusingtheoat
switch:
• Theoatswitchmustbeabletomovefreelyin
the operating space (chamber, tank)!
• Theswitchingpointoftheoatswitchmustbe
tested before connection to the alarm switchgear.
5.4. Electrical connection
POTENTIALLY fatal danger due to electrical
voltage!
The housing cover must be removed to
connect the individual signal transmitter. In-
correct electrical connections can cause fatal
electric shocks! The alarm switchgear must be
de-energised during connection.
• Pull the plug
• Disconnect the rechargeable battery
• Do not connect the system to the mains until
the end of the installation process.
• Electrical connections may only be carried out
by a qualied electrician approved by the local
energy supply company, in accordance with
locally applicable regulations.
DANGER - explosive atmosphere!
If the connected signal transmitters are used
in potentially explosive areas, they must be
connected via an intrinsically safe electric
circuit. If alarm signals are connected directly,
there is a risk of fatal injury due to explosions.
Connections must always be made by a quali-
ed electrician.
• The mains connection current and voltage must
be as stated on the rating plate.
