Application
/
FLOW submersible pump 30 series is suitable for pumping clear water, rainwater, domestic wa-
stewater without faecal matter, and a solids content up to 0.5 % max. (maximum solids passage
of diameter 30 mm).
/
The pumps may not be used to pump corrosive, flammable, gaseous or potentially explosive
fluids or sewage containing faecal matter.
/
Fluids containing sand or other abrasive substances reduce the service life of the pumps.
/
Not intended for condensation from condensing boilers and brine from water softening
systems.
/
The noise emission value is less than 70 dB (A).
/
If damage can occur due to a failure of the pumping station, for example due to a power failure
or technical defect, an alternative system must be available as backup e. g. emergency power
supply, double pumping station, network-independent alarm, etc.
/
The TP30 and TP30OS submersible pumps are designed for S3 intermittent operation.
6.
Transport
Carry the pump by the carrying handle only, not by the electrical connecting cable or float switch.
Do not bump or drop it. When lowering the pump into deep sumps or pits use a rope or chain.
7.
Electrical connection
/
Observe the correct operating voltage (see "Technical Data").
/
Never place the power plug in the water.
/
Connect the pump to properly installed sockets (in compliance with VDE and power supply
company regulations) protected by at least 10 A (slow-blowing) fuses. For submersible pumps
of protection class I, all exposed conductive parts are connected to the protective earth
conductor. Before the pump is put into operation, an electrically skilled person must check that
the protective earth cable is properly connected.
/
When operating pumps of protection class I, the following applies according to IEC 335-2-
41:1984, Amendment 1:1990: Pumps of protection class I intended for use in swimming pools
or garden ponds must be equipped with a residual-current device (max. 30 mA) in the supply
line.
/
The pump may not be operated if any persons are in the pool.
/
Temperatures higher than those permitted cause the pump to be shut off by the temperature
monitor. After the temperature monitor is triggered, disconnect the pump from the electrical
system before correcting the cause of the fault, as otherwise it will switch on automatically
once cooled down.
