Pump chamber with pump with fitted float switch
The individual pumps are directly controlled by the fitted float switch. After the plug
has been inserted into the socket, the respective pump is now ready for operation in
automatic mode.
Pump chamber with pump, switchgear and separate level control
CAUTION
Malfunction due to incorrect operation of the switchgear!
When the plug is inserted, the switchgear starts in the last operating mode that was
set. In order to be familiar with the operation of the switchgear, the installation and
operating instructions for the switchgear must be read before inserting the plug.
The unit is operated by the switchgear. For information on the operation of the
switchgear and its individual displays, consult the installation and operating instructions
for the switchgear.
Perform a test run before putting the pumping station into operation. A test run checks
the proper functioning and impermeability of the pumping station. It might be neces-
sary to adjust the pump's switching points and follow-up time to guarantee optimum
operation of the pumping station.
‡
Pump chamber installed properly.
1. Remove the chamber cover.
2. Switch on the unit:

NOTICE! Malfunction! Do not hold water jet directly above the float switch!
6. Pump is switched on and off using the level control.
⇒ Carry out at least two complete pumping procedures of all pumps when con-
ducting a test run.
⇒ With double-pumping stations: The pump must be replaced after each pump-
ing operation.
⇒ Fill the pressure pipe completely with water to check the duty point. Repeat
the test run until the pressure pipe is completely full.
7. For building installation: Check all connections for impermeability.
⇒ If all connections are tight, the pumping station can be operated.
8. Fit the chamber cover and secure it against unauthorised opening.
