3. Place the pump on a solid bearing surface. CAU-
TION!Sinking must be prevented!
4. Lay the pressure hose and fasten it to a certain point
(e.g. drainage). DANGER!Separation or movement of
the pressure hose can lead to (serious) injuries! Se-
curely attach the pressure hose to the outlet.
5. Lay the power supply cable properly. CAUTION!Do not
damage the power supply cable!
▶ The pump is installed, the qualified electrician can make
the electrical connection.
6.4.5 Level control
With a level control device, the current fill levels are determined
and the pump is switched on and off automatically depending on
the fill levels. Fill levels are recorded by using different sensor
types (float switches, pressure and ultrasound measurements or
electrodes). The following must be observed when using a level
control device:
ƒFloat switches can move freely!
ƒThe water level must not fall below the minimum permissible!
ƒThe maximum switching frequency must not be exceeded!
ƒIf the fill levels fluctuate strongly, a level control with two
measuring points is recommended. This makes it possible to
achieve larger differential gaps.
6.4.6 Dry-running protection
Dry-running protection must prevent the pump from operating
without fluid and air from entering the hydraulics. The minimum
permissible fill level must be determined with the help of a signal
transmitter. Once the specified limit value is reached, the pump
must be deactivated with an appropriate signal. Dry-running pro-
tection can expand the available level controls by an additional
measuring point or function as an independent switch-off
device. Depending on the system security, the pump can be re-
started automatically or manually. Installation of dry-running
protection is recommended for optimum operational reliability.
6.5 Electrical connection
DANGER
Risk of death due to electrocution!
Improper conduct when carrying out electrical work
can lead to death due to electric shock! Electrical
work must be carried out by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the locally applicable regulations.
ƒThe mains connection must match the specifications on the
rating plate.
ƒPower supply on mains side for three-phase current motors
with clockwise rotating field.
ƒLay the connection cable in accordance with the locally ap-
plicable regulations and connect it according to the wire as-
signment.
ƒConnect the monitoring devices and check their function.
ƒEarth the device properly in accordance with applicable local
regulations.
6.5.1 Fuse on mains side
Circuit breaker
The size and switching characteristics of the circuit breakers
must conform to the rated current of the connected product.
Observe local regulations.
Motor protection switch
Make provision for an on-site motor protection switch for
devices without a plug! The minimum requirement is a thermal
relay/motor protection switch with temperature compensation,
differential triggering and anti-reactivation device in accordance
with the local regulations. In case of sensitive mains, make provi-
sion for the installation on-site of other protective equipment
(e.g. overvoltage, undervoltage or phase failure relay, etc.).
Residual-current device (RCD)
Comply with the regulations of the local energy supply company!
The use of a residual-current device is recommended.
If persons come into contact with the device and conductive flu-
ids, secure the connection with a residual-current device (RCD).
6.5.2 Maintenance tasks
Carry out the following maintenance tasks prior to installation:
ƒCheck the insulation resistance of the motor winding.
ƒTest the resistance of the temperature sensor.
ƒTest the resistance of the pencil electrode (optionally avail-
able).
If the measured values differ from the specifications:
ƒMoisture may have penetrated into the motor or the connec-
tion cable.
ƒThe monitoring device may be defective.
Contact customer service in the event of a fault.
6.5.2.1 Checking the insulation resistance of the motor wind-
ing
Use an insulation tester to measure the insulation resistance
(measuring voltage=1000V). Observe the following values:
ƒAt the time of initial commissioning: Insulation resistance may
not be less than 20MΩ.
ƒFor further measurements: Value must be greater than 2MΩ.
NOTICE!For motors with an integrated capacitor, short-circuit
the windings prior to checking!
