Automation With Special Accessories; Maintenance And Troubleshooting - T.I.P. GPP 2100 M Manual Del Usuario

8. Automation with special accessories

This model has the necessary pressure to make an automation when needed. In this context, the term
of "automation" means that the liquid being discharged can be used just as if taken from the water
mains: Simply by opening or shutting water taps or consumer elements.
For automation, you will need an electronic or mechanic control system which can be installed very
quickly and conveniently. As an additional benefit, some of the control systems provide a very
effective protection from damage caused by dry-running since they will cut out the pump in the case of
lack of water.
Our range of accessories contains some particularly reliable and proven control systems. For detailed
information, please refer to www.tip-pumpen.de or to your specialised dealer.

9. Maintenance and troubleshooting

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the
electrical mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an
inadvertent start of the pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any
damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Regular maintenance and thorough care will reduce the danger of possible malfunction and contribute
to an extension of the lifetime of your unit.
If the pump is to be put out of operation for some extended period of time, it should be emptied
completely in by turning the pump to the font hole to the water suction hole (1). Subsequently, please
flush the pump with clean water. Then allow the pump body to dry completely in order to prevent
corrosion damage. Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable
damage. Please store the pump in a dry, frost- protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or
some other reason which cannot be attributed to a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their
elimination. All the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from
the electrical mains. If you yourself feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact
the customer service department or your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below
must only be performed by qualified staff. Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become
void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts, and that we decline any liability
for any ensuing damage.

ELIMINATION
1. Please use a device complying with GS
(German technical supervisory authority) to
check for the presence of voltage (safety
information to be observed!). Please verify the
correct position of the plug.
2. Separate the pump from the electrical mains,
allow the system to cool down, eliminate cause.
3. Please contact the customer service
department.
4. Check the cause; eliminate the reason for the
jamming of the pump.
1. Fill the pump housing with liquid (please refer to
"Putting into operation" section).
2. Check to make sure that:
a) the connection points of the intake line are tight;
b) the inlet opening of the intake line including the
check valve (non-return valve) are immersed
into the liquids being discharged;
c) the check valve (non-return valve) with the filter
is tight and not jammed;
d) no siphons (i.e. permanently liquid-filled loops),
kinks, counter-slopes or narrow spots are
present along the intake lines.
3. Change the arrangement of the installation so
that the suction height and/or discharge height
will not exceed the max. value.
