DESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE PRODUCT:
3.1
Technical and operating specifications:
Submersed electric pumps spin in the anti-clockwise direction (when viewed from the delivery side) and are directly coupled to special
asynchronous submersed motors.
Type M...4 submersed motors are supplied filled with oil, ready for use and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (U.S.A.). If faults occur,
oil could leak into the pumped water.
When the electric pump is installed in compliance with the instructions provided in this manual and with the relative diagrams, the acoustic pressure
level issued by the machine within the envisaged operating range will never reach 70 dB (A). The noise level was measured in compliance with ISO
3746 while, as established by Directive 2006/42/EC, the measuring points were 1 meter from the reference surface of the machine and at a height
of 1.6 meters from the ground or access platform. The maximum value was evenly distributed around the machine.
3.2
Fields of use:
The standard version of the electric pump unit was designed to pump clear water from deep wells and from storage tanks.
