ELECTRIC CONNECTION - START-UP
WARNING
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate correspond to those
available on the mains.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with the law in force.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit breaker D =30 mA (DIN VDE
0100T739).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SAFE PUMP START
The plug and connections should be protected by water splashes.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug). Do not use the pump if it is
damaged.
If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by the specialised assistance service only.
Make sure that electric connections are protected from inundation.
Protect the plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel only.
GROUNDING
The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting
the plug.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
PENTAIR FLOTEC BIOX series pumps have a built-in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload con-
dition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down (see point 4 of the Troubleshooting section
for information on causes and corrective actions).
WARNING
The pump runs as soon as the floating switch reaches the start-up level.
