SAFETY
• Measures should be taken to ensure that no person is ever directly
beneath a suspended load. Furthermore, it is also prohibited to move
suspended loads over workplaces where people are present.
• If mobile equipment is used for lifting loads, a second person should
be present to coordinate the procedure if required (for example, if
the operator's field of vision is blocked).
• The load to be lifted must be transported so that no-one will be
injured if there is a power failure. Furthermore, if such work is being
carried out outdoors, it must be cancelled if the weather conditions
worsen.
• Tools and other objects should only be kept in their designated plac-
es so that they can be found quickly.
These instructions must be strictly observed. Non-observance
can result in injury or substantial material damage.
2.3. Electrical work
ELECTRICAL hazard!
Incorrectly performed electrical work can result in fatal injury!
This work may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
A pump must be fitted to pump the accumulated sewage. It can be
operated using an alternating or three-phase current. The applica-
ble national directives, standards and regulations (e.g. VDE 0100)
and the specifications of the local energy supply company must be
observed.
The operator must be instructed in the electrical power supply to the
pump and how to shut it off.
For the connection, refer to the operating and maintenance manual
for the pump installed.
The pump installed must always be earthed.
2.4. Safety and monitoring equipment
The pump chamber is used to collect sewage containing faeces,
which is then pumped out using a submersible pump. If there is a
malfunction in the system, the accumulated sewage can become
backed up as far as the inlet.
To guarantee operational reliability, we recommend always using a
high water alarm. This reports a fault if the water level in the pump
chamber is too high. For increased reliability, this alarm signal should
be issued using the GSM network. This ensures that service person-
nel can offer an appropriately rapid response time.
2.5. Explosive atmosphere
When pumping sewage containing faeces, gas can accumulate in the
collection reservoir. According to the local directives and standards,
it may be necessary for the pump chamber to be declared as an Ex
zone.
RISK of explosive atmosphere!
This Ex zone definition is the responsibility of the operator in
line with the local directives. If an Ex zone is defined, all compo-
nents must have the appropriate approval.
2.6. Conduct during operation
During operation, no personnel may be present in the pump cham-
ber, and the pump chamber must be completely sealed.
The control and the level control for automatic operation must
function properly.
The laws and regulations applicable at the usage location for oper-
ation of sewage pumping stations must be observed. All personnel
are responsible for ensuring that regulations are observed.
