4. CORRECT USE
4.1 PUTTING INTO SERVICE
•
The unit may be used, opened and repaired only by specialised personnel.
•
The pump MUST NOT be submersed in fluids or utilised in environments which are particularly aggressive or
explosive/inflammable if not prepared for this purpose beforehand by the supplier.
•
For correct fixing verify the distance between centres shown in the diagram in Section 2.
•
Use gloves and safety glasses as required in the lubrication oil safety chart
•
DO NOT use aggressive lubricants with NBR gaskets and seals; if in doubt consult the Engineering Department of Dropsa
SpA, who will provide a chart with the details of recommended oils.
•
DO NOT ignore dangers to health and observe all hygiene standards.
•
WARNING! All electrical components must be grounded. This refers to both electrical components and control devices. In
this regard ensure that the ground cable is correctly connected. For reasons of safety the ground cable must be approx. 100
mm longer than the phase cables. In the event of accidental detachment of the cable, the ground terminal must be the last
to be removed.
Action to be taken prior to start up
•
Verify the integrity of the pump;
•
Fill the tank with suitable lubricant (min/max indication on the tank);
•
Verify that the pump is at operating temperature and the tubing free from air bubbles;
•
Check that the electrical connections have been effected correctly (CEI 64/8, IEC 364);
•
Verify the correct connections of any level and pressure switches to the control panel
•
The minimum level indicator is supplied, unless otherwise specified by the customer, with the contact closed for minimum
level. Should the user require to use a normally open contact it will be necessary to open the tank and to invert the
operating direction of the float.
4.2 USE
1.
verify the settings on the control panel, where fitted;
2.
press the start button of the machine to which the pump is connected;
3.
verify the starting of the pump;
4.
verify the adequate lubrication of the machine (if doubt exists as to the correct functioning consult the Engineering
Department of Dropsa SpA to request test procedures).
