38 39 Starting and operating instructions GB PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS VERSION Max. submersible depth: 12 metres (0,15 - 0,75 kW pumps: 6 meters). Fluid temperature: Max. 40 °C. Motor: Single phase AC motor or shorted three-phase asynchronous motor for 50 or 60 Hz. Motor safety: Single phase motor equipped with running capacitor. Thermal switches have been used for built-in engine safety in order to cut power to the circuit if the motor temperature exceeds a safe value (depending on the power). Level adjustment: Some models can be fitted with an added level adjustment. Electrical cable: H07-RNF, H05-RNF or comparable. In cables over 20 metres long there may be a drop in voltage. AFEC pumps comply with the EU directives. The manufacturer guarantees that a new pump straight from the factory will not produce a higher (airborne) sound level than 70 dB (A) under normal operating circumstances. Thank you for choosing an AFEC submersible pump! Please read this manual carefully before using for the first time. Please keep this manual handy for future reference. The technical specifications (Chart 1), the information on the rating plate (Chart 2) and the EU Declaration of Conformity can be found in the back of this manual. Please visit our website www.afeceurope.com for a list of spare parts and the matching order numbers. Note: the submersible pumps in the images may be a different version to the pump(s) you have purchased. FIELD OF APPLICATION Manual for the use of AFEC submersible pumps for the models as mentioned on the cover. The pumps are suited for pumping water with abrasive particles. Suitable for use in harsh operating conditions (e.g. construction, wastewater / sewage, etc.). SYMBOLS AND THEIR MEANINGS Special attention required! P1 = power absorbed Imax = starting power = submersion depth Electrical danger! P2 = nominal motor power = power cable = weight (without cable) Danger of hand injury = RPM = oil volume = dimensions Danger of explosion! = nominal power = mechanical sealing Hmax = max. head Qmax = max. flow WARRANTY CONDITIONS This product is guaranteed for 12 months. The purchase receipt serves as proof of warranty. The manufacturer reserves the right to change design and specifications without prior notification. The above warranty is void if there is damage caused by improper use or when third party modifications have made or attempted to alter the pump, or when the pump has been used for purposes other than those for which the submersible pump is intended. BEFORE YOU START Check the rating plate of the device (mounted on the pump) in order to check the following: type delivered, main voltage required, frequency, starting equipment and starting mode. In case of doubt please contact your supplier. N.B.: a 400 V pump = suitable for voltages between 380-415 V. A 230 V pump = suitable for voltages between 220-245 V. Starting and operating instructions GB TROUBLE SHOOTING TRANSPORT AND STORAGE The pump can be transported and stored both vertically and horizontally. • Make sure the pump is properly secured and cannot roll. • ATTENTION! The pump should always be placed on a stable surface so it cannot over turn. • Always use the handle to move the pump. Never lift it using the motor cable or hose. Choose a clean and dry place (40% relative humidity) if the pump is stored for an extended period of time. After an extended storage time the pump should be inspected before use: • Turn the impeller by hand before using the pump. Attention! Disconnect power cable before turning the impeller! • Check the seals and the cable entry. Rinse the pump thoroughly using clean water after use in corrosive liquids in order to extend the life span of the pump. SAFETY REGULATIONS • This pump should not be used to pump flammable liquids or in environments susceptible to explosion or fire. • Protect the electric plug at the end of the power cable from invasive moisture at all times. • Never touch the pressure or electrical connections while the pump is operational! Never touch the water. • Never put the pump into operation if it has been partially dismantled. • Do not use the pump if the power cable(s) is damaged. Have a skilled technician replace the cable(s) immediately. • ATTENTION! Strict compliance with the additional safety regulations in this user manual is mandatory. IMPLEMENTATION Check the direction of rotation. • The correct direction of rotation of the pump is counter-clockwise (seen from above). • If the direction of rotation is incorrect two of the phases should be switched (consult a certified installer). NEVER hold the handle while checking the direction of rotation. The starting jerk may be very violent. Make sure the pump is on a firm and stable surface and cannot rotate. WARNING! Changing the direction of rotation on a plug connection without phase shifter can only be performed by a certified installer. ATTENTION! If the built-in motor safety is activated, the pump will shut down and restart automatically as soon as the motor has cooled down. Starting Jerk MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION Regular checkups and preventive maintenance will ensure a more reliable and safe operation. The pump should be inspected at least once every six months. For major maintenance and inspections you can contact a repair shop or dealer authorised by AFEC. WARNING! Disconnect the pump from the power supply before starting work. Two overhead cranes are required to safely position the pump or the pump motor on their sides. Once they have been placed in that position they should be stabilised using wedges to prevent rolling. ATTENTION! The oil in the housing may still be pressurized. Hold a cloth over the oil housing when loosening the oil plug in order to prevent splashing. ATTENTION! The pump should not be activated if it is partially dismantled. ATTENTION! Worn impellers often have very sharp edges. Be very careful when replacing them! ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS Products whose technical lifetime is exceeded by AFEC can be returned to AFEC or an authorised company and should be disposed of in accordance with current environmental regulations. Conditions Reasons Countermeasure Pump fails to start No power is supplied (power outage) Contact the electricity provider or an electrical repair shop.
