ABS ROBUSTA 200 Instrucciones De Instalación Y Funcionamiento página 5

APPLICATIONS
The drainage pumps of the ROBUSTA range are
effective quality products suitable for the following
applications:
- Pumping of clear water
- Pumping of rain water
- Pumping of waste-water with a maximum solids
content of 0.5%
These pumps should not be used for the pumping of
faecal matter, or for
explosive liquids or liquids containing gases.
In the case of any queries, the pump type, item number,
and serial number should be given.
OPERATING AND COMMISSIONING
Transport and usage
The pump should never be raised by the cable
For transport purposes the handle should be used. If
necessary, the pump may be suspended by a rope or
chain attached to the handle. In the case of muddy or
sandy ground, the pump should be operated suspended in
the medium, by a rope or chain, or be placed on a large
base plate.
Fluids containing sand or other abrasive particles
reduce the life of the hydraulic parts and the shaft seal
In the case of air temperatures below 0°C the pump must
be run continuously or always remain underneath the
surface. The pump should be removed if there is a danger
of the liquid freezing completely.
The oil chamber has been filled at the works with oil
which does not damage the environment. A regular oil
change is not necessary.
Electrical connection
Before operating the pump have an expert check that one
of the electrical safety devices is present . Earthing,
neutral connection, Earth leakage circuit breaker, etc.
must conform to the regulations of your Electricity
Supply Board, and be in perfect working order.
The mains voltage should be the same as the voltage
given on the nameplate of the pump. In the case of pumps
used with a plug, a socket with earth connection should
be provided above possible flood level. In the case of
pumps supplied without a plug, the power leads and the
pump cable should be connected to the control unit by a
qualified person in accordance with local regulations.The
unit should be protected by a correctly dimensioned
slow-blow fuse.We recommend the use of an overload
relay.

Automatic level control
The TS-version is supplied ready for automatic operation
and fitted with an automatic level control. For automatic
operation the switch on the side is set to "AUTO".
The TS automatic level control switches the pump on and
off at pre-set switching levels. The lowest switching off
point is chosen so that the pump is switched off before it
begins to suck air.
The KS-version differs only in that it is fitted with a ball
type automatic level control.
MAINTENANCE
The maintenance hints given here are not instructions for
DIY repairs. Repair work on these pumps requires
specialised knowledge.
For a long operating life we recommend regular checks
and care. The ABS service organisation will be glad to
assist you in individual cases, and help you solve your
pumping problems.Should nevertheless a fault arise, do
not improvise, but ask your ABS service centre for
assistance. That applies particularly in the case of
repeated switching off of the pump by the overload relay
in the control unit or by the thermal sensor of the thermo
control system.
Defective pumps should be returned unopened to an
authorised repair workshop. ABS Pumps does not accept
warranty claims unless original ABS spare parts have
been used in any repair work.
Cleaning the inlet screen
Before beginning any cleaning work ensure
that the pump is fully disconnected from the
mains and that it cannot be inadvertently
switched back on
If there are leaves or fibrous matter in the medium being
pumped we recommend that the inlet screen be cleaned
from time to time.
- Inlet screen is opened by turning it out of the bayonet
connection and then removing it.
- The cleaned screen and o-ring are placed on the pump
and locked by turning it to the left.
Cleaning the level control
- TS-version, withdraw the float housing to the right from
the pump.
- Remove float. Clean all parts.
- Replace the float with it's rounded flat edges facing into
the float housing.
- Replace the float housing on the pump housing.
- When pressing on the float housing it is necessary
that the change-over switch "HAND-AUTOMATIC"
be in the lower position.
- Press the selector switch upwards and check the
pump at setting "HAND".
- KS-version, clean float
Should damage occur due to the customer cleaning the pump
himself, ABS does not accept any responsibility for this
damage (pump or consequential damage). For this reason we
recommend that ABS Service centres be used.
