Safety Devices
Measures such as the following are for the safety of the operating personnel:
electrical connection with a protective conductor (operating mode S1) and an earthing
plug
“Hot Surface" label on the pump body - warning notice
Connect the motor to a fixed electricity supply.
Fit a suitable motor switch with a protective device into the cable supplying the motor
Inert gas monitoring to detect leaks and diaphragm rupture
(customer installation)
The diaphragm pump must not be operated without these elements.
