Electrical Connection; Putting Into Operation - T.I.P. MSC 4/11 Instrucciones Para El Manejo

5.6. External switch
A float, pressure or any other external switch can be used to power the submersible pump. Remember to leave
the ON/OFF switch in the Control Box in the ON position if an external control switch is used.

6. Electrical connection

The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. Any electrical system such as described in
this manual must only be installed by professional staff (qualified electrical technician), to avoid any danger.
Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to pull off the plug
from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp edges.
The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person
responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical connection is earthed in
compliance with the applicable standards.
The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit-
breaker (FI switch): ∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).
Only use an extension cable with a cable section and rubber sheath which at least
corresponds to that of the unit's own connection cable (see "Technical data", cable type) and
which is labeled with the relevant abbreviation according to the VDE (German Association for
Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). The mains plug and other connections must
be splash proof.

7. Putting into operation

Nobody must be in the water while the pump is running.
The pump must only be operated in the performance range indicated on the type plate.
Dry-running - i.e. operating the pump without discharging water - is to be avoided since the
absence of water may cause the pump to run hot. This may cause considerable damage on
the device.
Please make sure that the electrical plug connections are in the flood-proof area.
As long as the device is connected to the electrical mains, one must never reach with one's
hands into the opening of the pump.
The pump must not run while the pressure port or the pressure line are closed.
Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connection line and the
mains plug. Make sure that all screws are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition of all connections. A
damaged pump must not be used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified service
staff.
If present, open a shut-off device within the pressure line, for instance a water tap. Insert the mains plug into a
230V AC socket. The pump will start to run immediately. Shortly, the pump will start to discharge water.
The switch of the electric motor starter can be used to switch the pump/motor on and off. The Control Box is
equipped with motor overload protection. This protection is not self-resetting and must be reset manually.
Therefore you have to push the integrated protection manually for reset.
Dry-running - i.e. the operation of the pump without discharging water - has to be avoided in any case since the
absence of water will make the pump run hot. This will cause considerable damage to the unit. The main reason
of dry running can usually be found in clogged or leaking intake lines or a lack of liquid to be discharged. In this
context, please note that the water level may vary as a result of the withdrawal of water, weathering influences,
seasonal changes or other reasons. For this reason it is recommended to install an automatic water level
indicator. The electrical pumps of the T.I.P. MSC series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection
