6. Electrical connection

The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by qualified staff to
avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to
pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp
edges.

The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person
responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical connection is earthed in
compliance with the applicable standards.

The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit-
breaker (FI switch): ∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).

If extension cables are used, their cross-section must not be smaller than that of rubber-
sheathed cables of the H07RN-F (3 x 1.0 mm²) short code. The mains socket and the plug-
and-socket elements have to be in splash water-proof design.

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 e

lectrical 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. Each time the pump is put into operation, please make sure that the pump is set up securely and firmly
standing. 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 electrical pumps of the T.I.P. DRAIN 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. Automation with special accessories

This model has the necessary pressure to make automation when needed. In this context, the term of
"automation" means that the liquid being discharged can be used just as if taken from the water mains: Simply by
opening or shutting water taps or consumer elements.
For automation, you will need an electronic or mechanic control system which can be installed very quickly and
conveniently. As an additional benefit, some of the control systems provide a very effective protection from
damage caused by dry-running since they will cut out the pump in the case of lack of water.
Our range of accessories contains some particularly reliable and proven control systems. For detailed information,
please refer to www.tip-pumpen.de or to your specialised dealer.

9. 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.
