Transport
Carry the pump by the carrying handle only, not by the electrical connecting cable or sensor cover. Do
not bump or drop it. When lowering the pump into deep sumps or pits, use a rope or chain.
7.
Electrical connection
/
Observe the correct operating voltage (see "Technical Data").
/
Never place the power plug in the water.
/
Connect the pump to a properly installed electrical socket (in compliance with the power supply
company regulations) protected by at least a 10 A (slow-blowing) fuse.
/
For submersible pumps of protection classification I, all exposed conductive parts are connected
with a protective earth conductor. Before the pump is put into operation, an electrically skilled
person must check that the protective earth cable is properly connected.
/
When operating pumps of protection class I, the following applies according to IEC 335-2-
41:1984, Amendment 1:1990: Pumps of protection class I intended for use in swimming pools
or garden ponds must be equipped with a residual-current device (max. 30 mA) in the supply
line. The pump may not be operated if any persons are in the pool.
/
Temperatures higher than those permitted cause the pump to be shut off by the temperature
limiter. After the temperature limiter is triggered, disconnect the pump from the electric system
before correcting the cause of the fault, otherwise it will switch on automatically once cooled
down.
8.
Set up/installation
FLOW F series submersible pumps are for transportable installation only.
Set up the pump on solid ground. When setting up in muddy or sandy ground, the pump should be
operated while suspended in the medium, by a rope or chain, or be placed on a large base plate. Do
not suspend the pump by the cable.
The pump is not suitable for permanent fixed installation as it is not in compliance with
DIN EN 12056/12050 regulations.
Moisture sensor for automatic operation:
When the water level reaches the On-sensor (min. level 20 mm) the pump automatically starts and
pumps the water until the level falls below the Off sensor (see page 27, figure 4), at which point the
pump is automatically turned off (the pump will run for approx. 5 - 20 seconds depending on the setup
surface and orientation, see figure 1).
ATTENTION!
The sensors are fixed in position and must not be changed. Doing so will invalidate the pump warranty.
If the switch-off delay exceeds 20 seconds, the 2 mm distance between the switch-off sensor and the
floor must be checked by authorized and qualified personnel (see page 27).
ATTENTION!
