1 Application
areas
The following guidelines must be observed when setting the lowest switch off point for XFP pumps:
When switching on and operating the pump, the hydraulic section of dry installation pumps must always be
fi lled with water.
The minimum submergence allowed for specifi c pumps can be found on the dimension installation sheets
available from your local ABS representative.
XFP pumps have been designed for economic and reliable pumping in commercial, industrial and municipal
installations and are suitable for pumping of the following liquids:
clear and wastewater, and for sewage containing solids and fi brous material
faecal matter
In combination with the ABS automatic coupling system, the below ground level wet installation is a particularly
economical and environmentally friendly solution. The pumps are also suitable for horizontal or vertical dry
installation (except XFP 80E-CB1-PE125/2 and XFP 81E-VX-PE125/2, 60 Hz).
The regulations of DIN 1986 as well as local regulations should be observed when installing the pumps.
