Commissioning
In explosive zones, care must be taken that during switching on and operation, the pump section is
filled with water or alternatively is submerged or under water. Ensure that the minimum submergence
given in the data sheet is observed. Other types of operation e.g. snore operation or dry running are not
allowed.
Before commissioning the unit should be checked and a functional test carried out. Particular attention should
be paid to the following:
Have the electrical connections been carried out in accordance with regulations?
Have the thermal sensors been connected?
Is the seal monitoring device (where fitted) correctly installed?
Is the motor overload switch correctly set?
Have the power and control circuit cables been correctly fitted?
Was the sump cleaned out?
Have the inflow and outflows of the pump station been cleaned and checked?
Is the direction of rotation correct - even if run via an emergency generator?
Are the level controls functioning correctly?
Are the required gates valves (where fitted) open?
Do the non-return valves (where fitted) function easily?

Maintenance
Before commencing any maintenance work the unit should be completely disconnected from the
mains by a qualified person and care should be taken that it cannot be inadvertently switched back on.
When carrying out any repair or maintenance work, the safety regulations covering work in enclosed
areas of sewage installations as well as good general technical pratices should be followed.
NOTE
The maintenance instructions given here are not designed for “do-it-yourself” repairs
as special technical knowledge is required.

General maintenance hints
ABS submersible pumps are reliable quality products, each being subjected to careful final inspection.
Lubricated-for-life ball bearings, together with monitoring devices, ensure optimum pump reliability provided that
the pump has been connected and operated in accordance with the operating instructions. However, should a
malfunction occur, do not improvise, but ask your ABS Customer Service Department for assistance.
This applies particularly if the pump is continually switched off by the current overload in the control panel, by
the thermal sensors of the thermo-control system, or by the seal monitoring system (DI).
Regular inspection and care is recommended to ensure a long service life. Service intervals vary for Piranha
pumps depending on installation and application. For recommended service interval details contact your local
ABS Service Centre. A maintenance contract with our Service Department will guarantee the best technical
service.
When carrying out repairs, only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used.
ABS warranty conditions are only valid provided that any repair work has been carried out in an ABS approved
workshop and where original ABS spare parts have been used.
NOTE Piranha-PE pumps are rated for use in hazardous locations (Ex) as standard and feature
a secondary Ex nameplate containing EX data. If a Piranha-PE pump is serviced or repaired
in a workshop that is not Ex approved then it must no longer be used in hazardous locations
and the Ex nameplate must be removed.
