5. PUMP COMPONENTS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 5.1 PUMPING ELEMENTS The pump has two fixed delivery standard pumping elements (25 cm^3/ min for each pumping element). The seal between the piston and the pumping body is of a dry type, with no gasket provided between the two. The pumping element retention valve is of the tapered seal type.

On the structure of the base is possible to mount a safety terminal box that contains a terminal board to connect the electrical components of the Mini-SUMO Atex assembly (Motor, valves, level indicators, etc). Choosing this option the pump will be supplied with wirings already connected to the terminal strip.

(capacitance sensor at Intrinsic Security) must be greater than 50mm from other terminals/circuits. 5.7 EARTH CONNECTIONS In figure below is underline the positioning of the bar of grounding. For a complete vision refer to assembly design. Mini-SUMO Atex pump must be connected to a good earth safety system.
CHANGE-OVER (optional) ELECTROPNEUMATIC The pump can be equipped with a pneumatic change-over valve piloted by a hazardous area certified solenoid. The main change-over parts are: A casing with a central lapped hole that makes it possible to make a dry seal connection with the inversion piston, which is facilitated by a balancing system;...
Use safety gloves or glasses as specified in the safety sheet for the lubricating oil DO NOT use aggressive lubricants with NBR gaskets. In the case of doubt, contact the Dropsa SpA technical office to receive a detailed card about the recommended oils.

WARNERING: The level probes do not have to be in some way tampered with from the user. They are not therefore possible repairs or variations of calibration of the same probes. For any information, to contact the technical office/trades them of the Dropsa SpA.
If you were not able to solve the problem after consulting the diagnostics table, do not try to find the fault by disassembling machine parts but contact the Dropsa technical office and report the anomalies that have been discovered, with a detailed description.
13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT Transport and storage are carried out using a metal pallet with packaging on the side and a wood cover. The pump is fixed on a metal pallet that permits safe handling with a transpallet or fork lift truck. The metal pallet was designed to be installed in the plant.
NOTE: The pump was designed to operate with lubricants with a maximum rating NLGI 2. Use lubricants that are compatible with NBR gaskets. Any internal residual lubricant used for assembly and testing purposes is NLGI 2 oil A comparison table is provided between the classification of NLGI lubricants (National Lubricating Grease Institute) and the ASTM classification (American Society for Testing and Materials) for greases for the values that concern the pump.
