is drained, then the unit starts up and refills the pipe
and diaphragm vessel.
The pressure switch regulates the water pressure by
starting the unit. The current pressure can be read on
the manometer.
The water reserves in the diaphragm vessel prevent the
unit from starting until the activation point is reached
when at low water drainage levels.
4.4 Operating modes
4.4.1 Operating mode "S1" (continuous operation)
The pump can operate continuously at the rated load
without exceeding the maximum permissible tempera-
ture.

5 Installation
In order to prevent damage to the product or serious
injury during installation, the following points must be
observed:
• Installation work – assembly and installation of the
machine – may only be carried out by qualified per-
sons. The safety instructions must be followed at all
times.
• The machine must be inspected for transport damage
before carrying out any installation work.
5.1 General
In cases where pumping is made through longer dis-
charge pipes (especially on long ascents), attention is
drawn to pressure surges.
Pressure surges can lead to destruction of the unit/
system and noisy operation resulting from valve
knocking. This can be avoided by taking appropriate
measures (e.g. non-return valves with adjustable clo-
sure time or laying the discharge pipe in a special way).
After pumping water containing lime, flush out the
product with clean water in order to prevent encrusta-
tion and subsequent breakdowns.
