Application
LUX ELEMENTS
®
-TUB-PUMP is a floor drainage pump that allows grey water to be pumped out of a domestic walk-in shower if a gravity sewer system is not available. Motor noises on starting
up are not a cause for concern as they are normal in synchronous motors.
ATTENTION!
It must not be used with large disc shower heads (> 20 l/min). The temperature of the shower water must not exceed 40°C
LUX ELEMENTS
®
-TUB-PUMP must not be used as back-flow protection or for discharging other drainage units.
Use of the pumps is subject to relevant national laws, regulations and local requirements such as:
n
Domestic contaminated water and waste water (e.g. EN 12056 in Europe)
n
Installation of low voltage systems (e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany)
Further regulations must be observed (e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany, part 701: bathrooms and shower rooms)
Noise emission value < 30 dB (A) of TUB-PUMP-S … [< 70 dB (A) of TUB-PUMP]
Conduits must be created for the pressure pipe and electricity supply cable, 1” FPT pressure pipe, possible pressure line diameter: DN25 Ø21LW, DN32 Ø27LW, 3/4” cable conduit.
NOTE:
The following materials are approved for the pressure pipe: PVC (DIN 8062), PE-HD (DIN 8074) and PP (DIN 8077)
ATTENTION!
When the pressure pipe is connected to the pressure outlet, do not seal the connection with hemp but wind not more than 6 layers of Teflon tape around the outlet.
ATTENTION!
Tighten the fitting carefully to avoid damaging the pressure outlet.
ATTENTION!
If the pressure pipe is laid horizontally, the hand-over point to the downpipe must lie 25 cm higher than the LUX ELEMENTS
®
-TUB-PUMP.
Electrical connection
Electrical work on the Planco-fix must be carried out by a qualified electrician only.
Before carrying out any work, disconnect the unit completely from the mains power supply (e.g. by unplugging it from the mains, or turning off the main switch, or triggering the
FI circuit breaker) and ensure that the power supply to the unit cannot be switched on again by anyone else.
ATTENTION!
Never put the free end of the cable in water! If water gets into it, this can cause malfunctions and damage.
Current applicable standards (such as EN standards), national regulations (such as VDE in Germany), and the regulations of the local power supply companies must be complied with. Observe
the operating voltage (see type plate)! Only connect the pump to electrical circuits that have been installed properly in accordance with the regulations and are fitted with at least a 10 A (delay)
fuse and an FI circuit breaker (30 mA). The pump is provided with a winding thermostat. In case of unacceptably high temperatures, it switches off the pump to protect it against possible damage.
Unacceptably high temperatures may result, for example, from dry running, or mechanical or electrical overload.
Test run
ATTENTION!
Carry out a trial run. Fill water in from above through the floor drain and get the LUX ELEMENTS
®
-TUB-PUMP to pump out several times. Look for any leaks around the inlet and the
pressure pipe. Later changes can only be made with a considerable effort.
