4.1 Operating modes
The pumps are designed for intermittent operation
(S3). When completely submerged in the pumped
liquid, the pumps can also operate continuously
(S1). See fig. 4.

Operating levels
S3, intermittent operation
S3 operation is a series of 10-minute duty cycles
(TC). Each cycle has a 4-minute period of constant
load followed by a 6-minute period of rest. Thermal
equilibrium is not reached during the cycle. See fig.
5.
In this operating mode, the pump is partly
submerged in the surrounding liquid. The minimum
liquid level is at the top of the cable entry.
