6. Start-up
Prior to start-up, the connection and DIP switch setting must have
been carried out according to sections
to
Start-up must be carried out by authorized personnel.
Proceed as follows:
1. Check whether the electrodes have been connected according
to the wiring diagram for the actual application.
2. Check that the pump inlet is submerged in the liquid to be
pumped.
3. Set the motor protection relay to the rated current stated on
the nameplate.
4. Warning:
5. Switch on the electricity supply.
Three-phase pumps only:
Check for wrong phase sequence
(the pump cannot be started if the phase sequence is wrong!).
6. Start the pump, see section
or
.
7. Check that the pump is not running dry. The risk of dry running
can be eliminated by a renewed time setting by means of the
DIP switch (stop delay) according to section
,
and/or
by moving/shortening the electrodes.
8.
Three-phase pumps only:
Check whether the direction of
rotation of the pump is correct according to the installation and
operating instructions for the pump in question.
9. Select the required operating mode by means of the
ON-OFF-AUTO selector switch, see section
7. Maintenance
During normal application and operation, the LC 110 controller is
maintenance-free.
However, it is advisable to carry out minor checks of the LC 110
controller, pump pits, tanks, pumps, etc. at suitable intervals.
These checks should be carried out by authorized personnel.
•
Check the gaskets of the LC 110 cabinet front and those of the
Pg cable entries.
•
Check for possible deposits/sludge build-up in the pump pit/
tank. Sludge may settle in areas with almost stagnant liquid.
•
Check for beginning sludge build-up around the electrodes.
•
Check for possible blockage on the suction side of the pump.
A blockage will typically be a large solid object.
•
If the LC 110 has been installed in a particularly aggressive
environment, it is advisable to check the motor protection con-
tacts in order to identify possible chemical attack resulting in
corrosion. In typical installations, the motor protection contacts
will work for several years and do not require any inspection.
Note:
The above list is
not
complete. The LC 110 may be
installed in systems, installations and/or environments which
require thorough and regular maintenance.

Before starting any work on pumps used to pump liq-
uids which could be constituted as being hazardous
to health, thorough cleaning/venting of pumps, pits,
etc. must be carried out according to local regula-
tions.
Before making any connections in the LC 110 or work
on pumps, pits, etc., it must be ensured that the elec-
tricity supply has been switched off and that it cannot
be accidentally switched on.
Set the motor-protective circuit breaker to the rated
current stamped on the nameplate.
