T.I.P. DIO 45/13 flex, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 13 / 112

The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit-
breaker (FI switch):
∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).
Only use an extension cable with a cable section (3 x 1.0 mm²) and rubber
sheath which at least corresponds to that of the unit's own connection cable (see "Technical
data", cable type) and which is labelled with the relevant abbreviation according to the VDE
(German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). The mains plug
and other connections must be splashproof.
7. Putting into operation
Nobody must be in the water while the pump is running.
The pump must only be operated in the performance range indicated on the type plate.
Dry-running - i.e. operating the pump without discharging water - is to be avoided since the
absence of water may cause the pump to run hot. This may cause considerable damage on
the device.
Please make sure that the electrical plug connections are in the flood-proof area.
As long as the device is connected to the electrical mains, one must never reach with one’s
hands into the opening of the pump.
Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connection line and the
mains plug. Make sure that all screws are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition of all connections. A
damaged pump must not be used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified service
staff.
To put the unit into operation, please plug the mains plugs into a 230V AC socket. If the water level has reached
or exceeded the cut-in level, the pump will start to run immediately.
To stop the operation of the pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket.
The discharge quantity can be continuously adjusted using the stopcock of the outlet element. However, please
do avoid the operation of the pump with the stopcock closed, since this can cause considerable damage.
Therefore, you should stop the pump’s operation by pulling out the mains plug from the socket immediately after
closing the stopcock.
The negligible water leakage at the lateral venting bore hole - about 10 cm below the pressure port - is inherent to
the design of the device and provides for both venting at the start-up of the pump and for temporary pressure
relief when the stopcock is closed, respectively.
The electrical pumps of the T.I.P. DIO
flex
series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection feature.
In the case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down.
For possible causes and their elimination, please refer to the “Maintenance and troubleshooting” section.
8. Maintenance and troubleshooting
Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical
mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the
pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage
caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Observing the conditions of use and the ranges of application of the present device will reduce the risk of possible
operational malfunction and contribute to extend the lifetime of your unit. Sand and other abrasive matters
contained in the liquid discharged will speed up the process of wearing and tearing and accelerate the drop in
performance.
