SANICUBIC OPERATING
PRINCIPLE
SANICUBIC
®
2
contains 2 separate pumps.
Each of the pumps is fitted with a high-per-
formance macerating system.
The 2 pumps operate alternately. In the
event of inflow overload, both motors run
at the same time (or if one of the pumps
is faulty, the other one takes over).
The
SANICUBIC
®
2
tank is fitted with 2 dip
tubes; one tube controls motor
operation, and the other one controls the
alarm system.
-
Long pickup tube
(normal operation):
as soon as the waste water level in the
tank reaches the triggering point in the
long tube, the pumping system starts up.
-
Short pickup tube
(inflow overload
operation): if the waste water level in the
tank reaches the upper point, a contact is
closed, and the auxiliary pumping system
is triggered. The contact also sets off an
visual alarm. The general alarm LED on
the
SANICUBIC
®
2
control panel switches
to red.

INSTALLATION
The
SANICUBIC
®
2
must be
installed in compliance with local plumbing
codes. The equipment must be
commissioned and maintained by a
qualified professional specialist.
8a
REGULATIONS
1- Attention: the space in which the
SANICUBIC
®
2
is to be installed must
be large enough to leave at least 24’’
of working room around and above the
unit to facilitate such maintenance work
as may be required. There must be suf-
ficient lighting, and it must be
sufficiently well ventilated and protected
from freezing.
2-
Isolating valves (not supplied) must
be fitted on waste inlets (especially
the 4’’ inlets) and on the discharge
to ensure that any service/mainte-
nance may be carried out safely).
3- The discharge pipe must be fitted so as
to avoid all back flow from the drainage
system (see the examples in drawing
8g
). Back flow can be avoided by
installing an anti-back flow riser
reaching a high point above the
maximum back flow level.
Comment:
In the absence of local
information to the contrary, the
maximum back flow level corresponds
to street level (roadway, pavements,
etc.). Continue the discharge pipework
after the anti-backflow riser, using a
larger diameter pipe.
4- If the Sanicubic is installed in a space
such as a pit for example, we would
recommend the fitting of a bilge pump
in case of flooding.
5- The lifting station must be vented with
an outlet at roof level.
6- The lifting station must be fixed to the
floor (see
8h
).
8b
CONNECTING THE DISCHARGE PIPE
Remove the end cover or covers from the
back of the unit (cf.
8g
1
).
As each pump is fitted with a macerator
system, an
1-
1
/
2
’’
discharge pipe can be
used.
The discharge bend is at the centre of the
unit, at the back (cf.
8b
). Use a standard
1-
1
/
2
’’ coupling (not provided) to connect
it to the riser pipe and fix it in place with
metal clamps.
Each pump in the
SANICUBIC
®
2
unit is
fitted with check valves.
8c
CONNECTING SANITARY
EQUIPMENT TO THE LOWER
INLETS
If you want to install a shower or
a bath at the same level as the
SANICUBIC
®
2, you must make
sure that the upper parts of the plu-
gholes on the sanitary equipment are at
least 10’’ above the lower inlets.

CONNECTING THE VENT
1- VENT OF SANICUBIC
®
2
One of the upper 1-
1
/
2
’’ inlets must
be used for the vent. The vent pipe
must be fitted up to roof level.
Cut off the end of the one of the
1-
1
/
2
’’ inlets with a saw.
Then fix the sleeve
D
in place using
the collar
C
.
Fully insert the 1-
1
/
2
’’ tube in the
other end of the sleeve and fix it in
place using the other collar
C
.
WARNING
: Note that the vent
system should be a two-way air vent.
The use of mechanical vents, air
admittance valves or similar devices
are not permitted as these are consi-
dered one-way air vent systems.
The vent must be an open vent or
the unit will not operate.
2- VENTING THE ELECTRICAL PART
Connect the 8/11 clear PVC tubing (
N
)
supplied to the keyboard on the
Sanicubic. The other end of this
tubing must be located between 3 Ft
and 6 Ft above the device to avoid
water getting into the electrical part
in the event of flooding.
Important: do not pinch the tubing.
6
PERFORMANCE CURVE
Example: Pump P1 is operating normally.
It discharges 38 gpm at a pumping height
of 16 Ft. If pump P1 shows any signs of
weakness or if the waste water inflow is
too great, pump P2 starts up. The output
is then increased to about 64 gpm, until
the situation returns to normal.
The numbers refer to the explanatory diagrams.
