2. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

The tank's dataplate in the manual must be kept for future reference.
Zenit electric pumps carry a dataplate which carries all their specification data. For any information or enquiries, refer to the data on the nameplate
or the paper copy of it provided in the operator's manual.

3. OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

blueBOX lifting stations solve the problem of discharging wastewater or rainwater into the sewage system when the latter is located above the
drain outlets, and whenever the solids in wastewater have to be ground before it is discharged into the sewer.
The blueBOX lifting station consists of one or two tanks containing, respectively, one or two electric pumps, coupling devices, gate and check
valves, one or more float switches and an electrical panel. Once it has been positioned and installed and the wastewater system and electrical
connections have been made, it is able to collect the water from toilets and other users and then transfer it to the sewer.
When the liquid in the tank reaches a level that trips the pump on-off float switch to ON, the pump starts and gradually empties the tank.
The pump stops when the liquid reaches the minimum level, tripping the float switch back to OFF.
When two pumps are installed, the float switches are positioned so that the second pump starts as back-up to the first if it is unable to deal with
the amount of water entering the tank, or if the first pump has cut out.
An emergency float switch may be installed higher up than the others in the lifting station. This float switch warns when the liquid level in the tank
becomes too high. In this case an electric control and monitoring panel must be provided to generate an alarm light and/or buzzer.
Refer to the manuals of pumps and control panels for specific information about their operating limits.
- The blueBOX cannot be installed in environments containing corrosive or flammable substances, dust or gases, or acids.
- After installation, the ambient temperature must be between 0°C and +50°C
- The temperature of the liquid in the tank must not exceed 40°C (up to 90° for short periods, so the tank is able to handle washing machine and
dishwasher wastewater).
For information about compatibility between the pumped liquid and the electric pumps installed in lifting stations, refer to the electric pump manu-
als.
For outdoor use, electric pumps having power supply lead at least 10 m long, in compliance with the EN 60335-2-41 standard, must be used.

3.1 VISUAL INSPECTION AND HANDLING

blueBOX lifting stations are supplied in suitable packaging. On receipt of the goods, check that the packaging is intact and the right way up.
In the event of slight damage to the packaging, inspect the products to ensure that they are intact.
If the products are damaged, inform the shop where they were purchased, or your local Zenit dealer, at once.
- Never handle the tank or pump by taking hold of the pump or float switch electrical cables.
- During storage, protect the product from damp, heat and knocks.
- Use suitable equipment for lifting and handling.
- During storage the ambient temperature must be between -20°C and +50°C

3.2 NOISE LEVEL

When submerged, the submersible electric pump has a noise level of less than 70 dB(A).

4. INSTALLATION

Read the safety procedures detailed in points 1.2 and 1.3 before installation, and always apply them.
Always comply with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements in the country where the lifting station is installed.
blueBOX lifting stations offer a wide choice of pipeline intake and outlet options. Be aware that local legislation may require a variety of installation
modes (siphons, valves, etc.).
Units may be installed indoors (basements, cellars, under stairs) or outdoors. When installed outdoors, pumps may be placed above or below the
ground.
The cover of the blueBOX will withstand foot traffic but not vehicles.
When installing indoors, take special care to seal the pipeline connections and ensure excellent ventilation, as described in detail in the INSTAL-
LATION section. The room where the blueBOX is to be installed must be suitably ventilated and must have a drain outlet in the floor to dispose of
any small leaks or condensation.
For above-ground outdoor installations, pay special attention to the temperature range to which the tank is to be exposed. Protect the blueBOX
from direct sunlight.
The mains power supply voltage and frequency must be compatible with the nameplate data of the electric pump(s).
Ensure that the number of electric pump start-ups per hour complies with the limits stated in the relative manual.
In all cases, do not allow the minimum liquid level to drop below the level shown in FIG. 6.
In the event of installation conditions different from those stated, contact the Zenit after-sales service.
The blueBOX cannot be used with liquids intended for human consumption.

4.1 INSTALLING THE blueBOX ON THE GROUND

Check that the floor underneath the lifting station is horizontal, fairly smooth and strong enough to bear the weight of the station when full.
Make sure that the floor has a drain outlet connected to the sewer system to deal with any leaks during maintenance or operation.
Enough room must be left around the station for any maintenance work.
If the blueBOX is installed indoors, it is important to ensure sufficient ventilation to prevent the formation of hazardous mixtures of gases.

4.2 INSTALLING THE blueBOX IN THE GROUND

The lifting station must not stand on the bare earth, so a horizontal concrete plinth at least twice the area of the blueBOX's own contact surface
must be constructed. Vertical walls will then be built around the polyethylene tank. It essential that the ground does not contain groundwater and
