5. Installation

5.1. General installation information

During the entire process of installation, the device must not be connected to the electrical mains.

The pump should be installed in a dry place with an ambient temperature not to exceed 40^ and not to fall below 5^ . The pump and the entire connection system have to be protected from frost and other climatic influences.

When installing the device, please make sure that the motor is sufficiently ventilated.

All connection lines have to be perfectly tight since leaking lines may affect the performance of the pump and cause considerable damage. Therefore, please use Teflon tape to seal the contact surfaces between the threaded sections of the lines and the connection with the pump. This use of sealing material such as Teflon tape is the only way to ensure an airtight assembly.

When tightening threaded connections, please do not apply excessive force which may cause damage.

When laying the connection pipes, you should make sure that the pump is not exposed to any form of weight, vibration or tension. Moreover, the connection lines must not contain any kinks or an adverse slope.

Please observe the illustrations, too, which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.

5.2. Installation of the suction line

The intake of the suction line has to be equipped with a check valve (or non-return valve) and an intake filter.

Please use a suction line (2) having the same diameter as the suction port (1) of the pump. If the suction height (HA) exceeds 4m , however, it is recommendable to use a 25% larger diameter - including appropriate reducer elements for the connectors.

The intake of the suction line has to be equipped with a check valve (3) - or non-return valve - and an intake filter (4). The filter will keep away larger dirt particles contained in the water which might clog or even damage the piping. The check valve will prevent the pressure to escape after the pump has cut out. Moreover, it simplifies the venting of the suction line by enabling water to be filled in. The check valve with the intake filter - i.e. the entirety of the intake section of the suction port - must be immersed by at least 0.3m below the surface of the liquid to be pumped (HI). This will prevent air from being taken in. In addition, please ensure a sufficient distance of the suction line from both the ground and the sides of water courses, rivers, ponds etc in order to prevent stones, plants etc from being sucked in.

5.3. Installation of the pressure line

The pressure line (11) conveys the liquids to be discharged from the pump to the point of withdrawal. To avoid dynamic flow losses, one should use a pressure line having at least the same diameter as the pressure port (5) of the pump. To protect the pump from damage caused by pressure surges it is advisable to equip the pressure line with a check valve (6) to be installed directly downstream the pump outlet.

Also, to facilitate maintenance work, it is recommendable to install a shut-off cock (7) after the pump and check valve. This is a useful feature since it can be closed when the pump has to be dismantled and will thus prevent the pressure line from draining to empty.

5.4. Stationary installation

With regard to the electrical connection in the case of stationary installation, please ensure an adequate visibility and accessibility of the plug.

For stationary installation, please fasten the pump on a suitable, solid surface. To reduce vibration, it is recommended to apply an anti-vibration material - for instance a rubble layer - between the pump and the installation surface.

5.5. Using the pump for garden ponds and similar places

Operating the pump next to garden ponds and similar places is generally only admissible if no persons are in contact with the water.

If the pump is used for garden ponds and similar places it has to be operated using a residual current circuit-breaker (FI switch) with a nominal trigger current of ≤ 30mA (DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738). Please ask your electrical services provider whether your installation site complies with this condition.

The pump must not be used in such locations unless it is set up firmly and flood-proof, a minimum distance of two metres away from the border of the water body and secured against falling into the water by a solid holding device. For this purpose the device is to be bolted down firmly to the ground at the fastening points provided (please refer to the chapter titled "Stationary installation").

6. Electrical convection

The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by qualified staff to avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp edges.

The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical connection is earthed in compliance with the applicable standards.

The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit-breaker (FI switch): = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).

Only use an extension cable with a cable section (3 × 1.0 mm^2) and rubber sheath which at least corresponds to that of the unit's own connection cable (see "Technical data", cable type) and which is labelled with the relevant abbreviation according to the VDE (German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). The mains plug and other connections must be splashproof.

7. Putting into operation

Please observe the illustrations, too, which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.

Prior to putting the pump into operation for the very first time, the pump housing should be fully vented - i.e. filled with water - even in the case of self-priming units. If this venting is omitted, the pump will not suck in the liquid to be discharged. It is highly recommendable, yet not mandatory, to vent the intake line as well, i.e. to fill it with water.

The pump must only be operated in the performance range indicated on the type plate.

Dry-running - i.e. operating the pump without discharging water - is to be avoided since the absence of water may cause the pump to run hot. This may cause considerable damage on the device. Moreover, this means that very hot water will be enclosed within the system so that there is a hazard of scalding. If the pump has run hot, please pull off the mains plug and allow the system to cool down.

Please do not expose the pump to moisture (e.g. when operating sprinklers). Do not expose the unit to rain, either. Make sure that no dripping connections are located above the pump. The pump should not be used in wet or moist environments. Make sure that the pump and the electrical plug connections are arranged in a flood-proof place.

The pump must not be running with the feeder line closed.

As long as the device is connected to the electrical mains, one must never reach with one's hands into the opening of the pump.

Each time the pump is put into operation, please make sure that the pump is set up securely and firmly standing. The unit must always be positioned upright on an even surface.

Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connection line and the mains plug. Make sure that all screws are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition of all connections. A damaged pump must not be used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified service staff.

Prior to the first time the pump is put into operation, the pump housing (8) has to be fully vented. To do so, please fill the pump housing (8) through the filling opening (9) completely with water. Please check to make sure that no leakage occurs. Subsequently, close the filling opening airtight again. It is highly recommended to vent the suction line (2) as well, i.e. to fill it with water. It is true that the electrical pumps of the SPIDO PROTEC series are self priming and can be put into operation by filling only the pump housing with water. In this case, however, the pump will require some time before it will have sucked in the liquid to be pumped and proceed to the actual discharging function. In addition, this way of proceeding may require the pump to be filled several times. This depends on the length and diameter of the suction line. After filling, please open any shutting device (7) in the pressure line, for instance a water tap, to enable the air to escape during sucking in.

Plug the mains plug into a 230V AC socket. The pump will start running immediately. As soon as the liquid is being discharged evenly and without air mixture, the system is ready for operation. You may then close the shut-off valve in the pressure line again. The pump will cut out upon reaching the cut-out pressure.

If the pump was out of operation for some extended period of time, the steps described above have to be repeated for a renewed putting into operation.

The electrical pumps of the SPIDO PROTEC series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection feature. In the case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For possible causes and their elimination, please refer to the "Maintenance and troubleshooting" section.

8. Anti dry-running feature

8.1. General information

Some of the SPIDO. booster sets - more specifically, the SPIDO PROTEC series - are equipped with an anti dry-running feature. This protection system prevents the pump from damage which may be caused by its operation with an insufficient water level or by an overheating of the hydraulic system.

8.2. Functioning

If the temperature inside the pump reaches 60 - 70^ , the anti dry-running feature will cut off the power supply of the motor. In this way the pump will cut out, and a warning indicator lamp will light up on the terminal box.

8.3. Resumption of operation

Once the protection system having become activated, the resumption of operation requires the switch at the terminal box to be set to "0". Please pull off the pump's mains plug from the mains socket and allow the entire hydraulic section to cool down. Subsequently, you should eliminate the cause of the malfunction. Then set the switch at the terminal box to "1". Afterwards, plug the pump's mains plug into the mains socket again. If the

warning indicator lamp does not light up again, the pump will cut in. However, if the warning indicator actually goes on again, please repeat the above steps to resume operation.

9. Setting the pressure switch

Changing the preset cut-in and cut-out pressure must only be done by qualified staff.

The electrical pumps of the SPIDO PROTEC series will cut in as soon as the cut-in pressure is reached as a result of a pressure drop occurring within the system - as a rule, by opening of a faucet or any other consumer element. Cutting-out occurs after the consumer element concerned has been shut off and the pressure in the system has increased again to reach the cut-out pressure. The pressure switch is ex-factory set to 2 bar for the cut-in pressure and to 3.5 bar for the cut-out pressure. Experience has shown that these values are ideally suited for most installations. Should any modification of these settings be required, please contact your installation or electrical specialist.

10. Operating the pump with a SPIDO prefilter

Abrasive matters contained in the liquid being discharged - such as sand - accelerate wear and tear and reduce the performance of the pump. When discharging liquids containing such matters, the installation of a prefilter is recommended. This useful accessory it will efficiently filter sand and similar particles out of the liquids, thus minimise wear and tear and extend the lifetime of the pump. SPIDO FILTER art 260065 The proper functioning of the filter should be checked on a regular basis. If necessary, please clean replace the filter mesh.

11. 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.

To prevent possible malfunction, it is recommended to check the occurring pressure and the energy consumption at regular intervals. Also, the pre-pressure (atmospheric pressure) in the pressure tank should be checked regularly. To do so, please separate the pump from mains, then open any consumer component in the pressure line - for instance, a water tap - to release the pressure from the hydraulic system. Subsequently, unscrew the protection cap of the tank valve (12). On the tank valve, please use a pressure gauge to check the pre-pressure. It should read 1.8 bar, otherwise it has to be corrected.

If any water is leaking out of the tank valve, the membrane is defective and should be replaced.

If the device is not in use over some extended period of time, both the pump and the pressure tank should be emptied using the devices provided for this purpose.

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

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.
