Flotec FP 7K Manual De Uso página 9

The dimensions of the collection container should reduce to the minimum the number of starts per hour (see
LIMITATIONS - Technical data).
To use the pump for temporary applications, install a flexible pipe and connect it to the pump using a pipe holder. To
immerse the pump, use a rope and fix it to the handle.
The automatic FLOTEC VIP/FP model is equipped with a pre-set float switch (See fig.1) please increase or decrease
the free piece of float switch cable by making it sliding through the proper seat on the handlebar, when modifyng the
rating of float switch.
There can be particular requirements for pumps used in or next to pools, garden ponds or similar places.
WARNING
WARNING
The pumps used in ponds, small lakes, fountains or similar installations or close to them should have a cut-out switch.
Contact a specialised electrician.
Pump anchorage
Use the slots on the filter cap (see Fig. 2, pos. 1) to anchor the pump. Then, remove the inserts from the filter cap.
It is also possible to insert 3 screws in the widest section of the slots (see Fig. 2, pos. 2) and turn the filter cap
counterclockwise so that the screws keep the cap in place in the narrowest section of the slots (Fig. 2, pos. 3). After
fixing the filter cap, it is necessary to insert the pump in the related guides (see Fig. 3, pos. 4) and turn it
counterclockwise to fix it in place (Fig. 5).

Instructions for a safe pump start
The power cable should have a minimum section equivalent to that of H05 RN-F. To be able to use the pump outdoors,
it is necessary to use cable with a length of 10 m. The plug and connections should be protected by water splashes.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug). Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by the specialised assistance service only.
Make sure that electric connections are protected from inundation.
Protect the plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.
DANGER
Electric shock

Grounding
The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting the
plug.
Overload protection
FLOTEC VIP/FP series pumps have a built-in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condition
occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down (see point 4 of the Troubleshooting section for
information on causes and corrective actions).
To start the pump, insert the plug in a 230 V alternate current socket.
ATTENTION: the pump runs as soon as the floating switch reaches the start-up level.
Verify that the floating switch stops the pump as soon as the minimum level is reached.
Make sure that the floating switch is free to move.
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate
correspond to those available on the mains.
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded
in accordance with the law in force.
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit
breaker
The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel only.
