5. Installation
5.1.
General installation information
During the entire process of installation, the device must not be connected to the electrical
mains.
The pump should be installed in a dry place with an ambient temperature not to exceed 40 °C
and not to fall below 5 °C. The pump and the entire connection system have to be protected
from frost and other climatic influences.
When installing the device, please make sure that the motor is sufficiently ventilated.
All connection lines have to be perfectly tight since leaking lines may affect the performance of the pump and
cause considerable damage. Therefore, please use Teflon tape to seal the contact surfaces between the
threaded sections of the lines and the connection with the pump. This use of sealing material such as Teflon tape
is the only way to ensure an airtight assembly.
When tightening threaded connections, please do not apply excessive force which may cause damage.
When laying the connection pipes, you should make sure that the pump is not exposed to any form of weight,
vibration or tension. Moreover, the connection lines must not contain any kinks or an adverse slope.
Please observe the illustrations, too, which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating
instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.
5.2.
Installation of the suction line
The intake of the suction line has to be equipped with a check valve (or non-return valve) and
an intake filter.
Please use a suction line having the same diameter as the suction port (1) of the pump. The inlet of the suction
line should have a non-return valve with suction filter. The intake of the suction line has to be equipped with a
check valve - or non-return valve - and an intake filter. The filter will keep away larger dirt particles contained in
the water which might clog or even damage the piping. The check valve will prevent the pressure to escape after
the pump has cut out. Moreover, it simplifies the venting of the suction line by enabling water to be filled in. The
check valve with the intake filter - i.e. the entirety of the intake section of the suction port - must be immersed by
at least 0.3 m below the surface of the liquid to be pumped. This will prevent air from being taken in.
5.3.
Installation of the pressure line
All parts of the pressure line must be pressure-resistant (see max. pressure at technical data chart).
5.4.
Stationary installation
With regard to the electrical connection in the case of stationary installation, please ensure an
adequate visibility and accessibility of the plug.
For stationary installation, please fasten the pump on a suitable, solid surface. To reduce vibration, it is
recommended to apply an anti-vibration material - for instance a rubble layer - between the pump and the
installation surface.
