1.5 Disposal
The crossed bin symbol on the equipment, or its packaging, indicates that the product must be collected separately from other
waste at the end of its useful life and not with mixed urban waste.
Appropriate waste sorting for the subsequent recycling, treatment and disposal in an environmentally sound way of the disused
equip- ment avoids negative effects on the environment or human health and favours the re-use or recycling of the equipment’s
materials.
Please contact your municipality, or local authority, for all information regarding the waste sorting systems available in the area.
2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION - INTENDED USE
The electrical pumps Blue series are suitable for professional use, heavy duty with clean and dirty water. Blue submersible pumps are
classified depending on the hydraulic type as follow:
DRblue, DGblue, DRbluePRO, DGbluePRO Series: drainage and evacuation of sewage water and/or with oil also with solid parts.
GRbluePRO Series: drainage and evacuation of sewage water and/or with oil with solid parts to be cutted.
APbluePRO Series: drainage and evacuation of sewage clean, sandy, muddy water, with small solid parts.
The equipment is manufactured with cables permanently connected to it.
This electric pump is a fixed appliance intended to be used while fastened to a support or while secured in a specific location.
This appliance is not intended to be held in the hand during normal use.
This electric pump may not be used with liquids for human consumption
Blue submersible pumps must under no circumstances be used to pump explosive, flammabile or comustible liquids
-Ex models are certified for use in potentially explosive atmosphere according to the marking string recorded on the dataplate
2.1 Operating conditions
The electric pump normally works completely immersed in the fluid in order to prime itself and to pump out and so that the latter can cool the
motor sufficiently.
These submersible pumps shall be installed only in vertical position (with vertical rotational axis). This way the inlet will not take in air and the
pump will operate correctly.
For correct use, comply with the following operating conditions:
Duty type: S1
Degree of protection: IP 68 (10m – 168 h) Maximum immersion depth: 7 m
Ambient temperature. 0 ÷ +40 °C Temperature of the liquid 0 ÷ +40 °C
Density of fluid treated: maximum of 1.1 Kg/ dm³; PH of fluid to be pumped: between 6 and 14;
The equipment is not intended to be supplied through inverter.
The pump has been designed to operate at the speeds indicated on the dataplate.
The submersible electric pumps feature an acoustic pressure level of below 70dB(A) when immersed and below 80dB(A) in the air.
2.2 Equipment explanation to -Ex approval
The electrical pumps BLUE series are suitable for professional use, heavy duty with clean and dirty water. They have the types of protec-tion
“Ex ec” and “Ex h” and are suitable for gas group IIC. Models with thermal protectors have also the type of protection “nC”. The equipment is
manufactured with cables permanently connected to it.
The IECEx and ATEX Blue pumps have the following explosion protection classification
2.2.1 Suitability of the pump to the location of installation
Models without thermal protection
(Electrical variant: NAE)
Models with thermal protection
(Electrical variant: T, TC, TCD, TCG, TCDT, TCDGT)
II 3G (only for ATEX)
Ex ec h IIC T3 Gc (Atex and IECEx)
II 3G (only for ATEX)
Ex ec nC h IIC T3 Gc (Atex and IECEx)
The user shall check that pump is suitable to the area classification and to the characteristics of the flammable substances present. Natio- nal
Law, local Rules and Standards establish the essential safety requirements against the risk of explosion in classified areas.
2.2.2 Places subject to the presence of inflammable gas, mist or steam
The classification criteria for areas subject to the risk of explosion are laid down in the IEC 60079-10 standard.
The technical requirements for electrical plants located in classified areas are established by the IEC 60079-14 standard.
The choice of type of pump, according to these technical and legislative provisions, must take into account the following factors:
• Type of plant: above ground plants
• Zone classification: 0, 1, 2
• Characteristics of the flammable substances present in the form of gases, vapours or mists:
- Sub-group: IIA, IIB, IIC
- Temperature class: T3 (defines the ignition temperature of the gases)
