3. Description
The pumps of the type series TDP are equipped with a sturdy alternating current motor; the sealing of the pump
housing to the motor is executed using a mechanical seal. The current is connected using the 10 m long connecting
cable with 230 V-50 Hz alternating current.
Safety regulations
All used electric devices must comply with the standard IEC 364 / VDE 0100, that means, that the
electrical sockets must be equipped with earthing terminals.
The electrical connection may only be effected by an electrically skilled person! The relevant VDE
regulations 0100 must be respected!
The mains to which the plant is connected must be equipped with a highly sensitive separate earth leakage
circuit breaker IA <30 mA. In case of an installation in bath or shower rooms, the respective DIN VDE
0100 part 701 regulations must be respected.
Please respect the regulations of the EN 12 056-4.
All electrical devices, such as control, alarm sensor and power socket must be installed on a flood-proof
position in dry rooms.
Attention! Prior to every assembly and disassembly of the pump or other works on the plant, the plant
must be disconnected from the mains.
In case of using an extension cable, it must comply with the included connector cable concerning quality.
- The pump must be connected to a socket with earthing.
- Never carry the pump on the cable, never low it on cable into the water; never pull it on cable out of
the water.
- If the power is not supplied obligatory via an earth leakage circuit breaker, a separate earth leakage
circuit breaker to the socket is recommended.
- The use of the pump at swimming pools and garden ponds and within their protection zones is only
permitted if the plants located there are installed according to DIN VDE 0100/part 702. Ask you
professional electrician. It is forbidden to take a bath in the pond during operation of the pump!
4. Installation and commissioning
- Before commissioning of the pump, check it for possible external damages (e.g. transport dam-ages), in
order to prevent accidents with electrical power.
The following minimum water levels are necessary for a proper operation of the pump:
TDP 800:
300 mm
If the pump shall be used in a cavity or a shaft the shaft/cavity must have a dimension of 450 x 450 x 450 mm. The
suction basket must not be blocked by sludge and/or media containing fibres.
The floating switch mounted to the pump must be able to move freely.
If the water level rises and the floating switch floats, the pump is activated and pumps the water off until the water
level is low that the floating switch deactivates the pump. The activation and deactivation height of the floating
switch may be varied by displacing the floater cable within the fastening eye.
- In order to prevent damage to the shaft sealing, the pump must not run dry.
Attention:
The pump must not be operated if the system is closed (closed pressure pipe). Resulting damages are
excluded from the warranty.
