Instructions regarding accident prevention
Before commencing servicing or maintenance works, cordon
off the working area and check that the lifting gear is in perfect
condition.
Never work alone. Always wear a hard hat, safety glasses and
safety shoes and, if necessary, a suitable safety belt.
Before carrying out welding works or using electrical devices,
check to ensure there is no danger of explosion.
People working in wastewater systems must be vaccinated
against the pathogens that may be found there. For the sake
of your health, be sure to pay meticulous Notice to cleanliness
wherever you are working.
Make sure that there are no toxic gases in the working area.
Observe the health and safety at work regulations and make
sure that a firstaid kit is to hand.
In some cases, the pump and the pumping medium may be hot
and could cause burns.
For installations in areas subject to explosion hazards, special
regulations apply!
APPLICATION
Plancofix 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. The Plancofix is fitted directly under
the shower.
The temperature of the shower water must not exceed 40°C.
The Plancofix must not be used as backflow protection or for
discharging other drainage units.
Use of the pumps is subject to relevant national laws, regula-
tions and local requirements such as:
•
Domestic contaminated water and waste water (e.g. EN
12056 in Europe )
•
Installation of low voltage systems
(e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany)
Further regulations must be observed (e.g. VDE 0100 in Ger-
many, part 701: bathrooms and shower rooms)
In the countries of destination, the standards, regulations,
rules and directives that apply in that country must be imple-
mented.
Noise emission value < 70 dB(A)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
NOTICE!
Electrical work on the Plancofix must be carried out
by a qualified electrician only.
WARNING!
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 cir-
cuit breaker) and ensure that the power supply to the unit can-
not be switched on again by anyone else.
NOTICE!
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 prop-
erly 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 un-
acceptably high temperatures, it switches off the pump to pro-
tect it against possible damage. Unacceptably high tempera-
tures may result, for example, from dry running, or mechanical
or electrical overload.
INSTALLATION
The Plancofix is recessed entirely into the floor. The unit can
be accessed for maintenance through the top cover (tiled or
stainless steel finish).
A sufficiently deep 40 x 40 cm recess must be created for the
tank.
NOTICE!
Make sure that the existing concrete floor is suffici
-
ently thick and that the structural conditions allow a recess to
be made.
