• Explosive media
• Drinking water
be used.
The system must be installed in accordance with
thegeneralrulesasdetailedinEN12056and
DIN1986‑100.
Intended use includes compliance with this man-
ual. Any other use is regarded as non-compliant
with the intended use.
3.1.1. Application limits
DANGER due to overpressure
Exceeding the application limits can result in
excessive pressure in the collection reservoir
if the unit malfunctions. This can cause the
collection reservoir to burst! There is a health
risk due to contact with sewage polluted by
bacteria (faeces). Always comply with the
application limits and ensure that the inlet is
blocked if the unit malfunctions.
The following application limits must be observed
strictly:
• Max.intake/h:600l
The maximum inow must always be less than
the volume ow of the pump at the respective
duty point.
• Max.suctionhead:5m
• Max.permittedpressureinpressurepipe:1.5bar
• Max.uidtemperature:40°C,60°Cformax.
3min
• Max.ambienttemperature:40°C
• Operatingmode:S315%,120s
The unit is not designed for continuous duty!
The maximum volume ow applies to intermit-
tent periodic duty according to EN60034-1!
• Also comply with further information in the
“Technical data” section!

3.2.1. Collection reservoir
Gas and water-tight collection reservoir made
from PE plastic with tapering collection chamber
for reliable operation without any build-up of
deposits.
TheinletconnectionsDN100canbeselectedas
required on both sides and on the longitudinal
side.ThepressureconnectionDN80iscongured
vertically above the reservoir. Furthermore, the

oneventilationconnectionDN70.
For simple maintenance of the unit, the collection
reservoir is equipped with an inspection opening.
Furthermore, the reservoir also has two fastening
straps. This allows the lifting unit to be anchored
in an anti-buoyant way to the ground with the
suppliedxationmaterial.Thefasteningstraps
also function as transport carrying handles.
3.2.2. Motor
The motor that is mounted is a watertight,
encapsulated dry motor with a stainless steel
housing. The cooling is done by the ambient air.
The waste heat is given off via the motor housing.
The motor is equipped with a thermal winding
monitorwithbimetallicstrips:
• The winding monitoring for the three phase
motor is displayed and reset via the connected
switchgear.
• The winding monitoring for the AC motor is au-
tomatically switching. This means that the motor
is switched off if it overheats and is automatically
switched on again when it has cooled down.

The switchgear can also be used to implement
a collective fault signal (SSM). The cable length
from the motor to the switchgear is 4 m and from
switchgear to plug 1.5 m. Detailed information
about the switchgear can be found in the en-
closed installation and operating instructions.

nection diagram in this operating and mainte-
nance manual.
