5 Set-up and connection
For aggregates in potentially explosive areas
(→ ATEX additional instructions)
Risk of material damage caused by contamination!
▶ Do not remove transport locks until immediately before
setting up the aggregate.
▶ Do not remove covers, transport and sealing caps until
immediately before connection of the pipes to the
aggregate.
5.1 Preparing set-up
5.1.1 Checking ambient conditions
▶ Make sure the required ambient conditions are
maintained (→Ambient conditions, page 30).
For pump/aggregate set-up at an altitude of > 1000 m above
sea level, consult the manufacturer.
5.1.2 Minimum clearances for heat dissipation
Minimum clearances
(→ Clearances for heat dissipation, page 30)
5.1.3 Preparing installation site
▶ Make sure the installation site meets the following
conditions:
− the aggregate is freely accessible from all sides
− suffi
cient space for installing/disassembling the
pipes as well as for maintenance and repair works,
particularly for installation/disassembly of the
aggregate, is provided for
− the aggregate is not exposed to external vibrations
(bearing damage)
− frost protection
5.1.4 Preparing foundation and surface
Set-up options:
− with concrete foundation
− with steel foundation frame
− without foundation
▶ Make sure foundation and surface meet the following
conditions:
− level
− clean (free of oil, dust or other contaminations)
− load carrying capacity is in accordance with the dead
weight of the aggregate and all operating forces
− adequate aggregate stability
− with concrete foundation:
standard concrete of strength class B 25
5.1.5 Removing preserving agent
▶ If the aggregate is commissioned directly aft er set-up
and connection: remove preserving agent prior to set-
up (→ Removing preserving agent, page 13).
5.2 Set-up with foundation
Only possible with base plate
Risk of material damage caused by distortion of the base
plate!
▶ Position and fi x the base plate on the foundation as
follows.
5.2.1 Placing aggregate on foundation
✓ Auxiliary means, tools, material:
− foundation bolts (→ Set-up drawing)
− steel washers
− non-shrinking mortar grout
− spirit level
1. Lift the aggregate (→ Transport, page 11).
2. Hook the foundation bolts from below into the base
plate fi xing holes.
Observe the manufacturer’s specifi cations when using
adhesive anchors.
3. Place the aggregate on the foundation. Insert the
foundation bolts into the provided anchoring holes.

4. Use steel washers to align the aggregate to height and
system dimensions as follows:
− Place 1 steel washer (2) at the left and right hand side
of each foundation bolt (1).
− With > 750 mm clearances between the anchoring
holes, an additional steel washer (3) must be
positioned in the middle of each side of the base
plate.
5. Make sure the steel washers are in surface contact with
the base plate.
6. Use the integrated spirit level to check whether the
aggregate is level end to end and side to side with a
maximum allowable tilt of 1 mm/m.
7. Repeat this process until the base plate has been
correctly aligned.
