Adjustment of the float
switch
The float switch (
can be started up immediately.
In the case of stationary installation, check
regularly (no less then once every three
months) that the float switch is working.
The ON and OFF switching point of the
float switch can be adjusted by changing
the position of the float switch in the float
switch grating. Please check the following
points before start of operation.
7) is adjusted so that it
• The float switch must be attached so
that the switching point ON level and
the switching point OFF level can be
reached easily and with little expendi-
ture of energy. Check this by placing
the pump into a vessel filled with water
and lift the float switch carefully by
hand and then lower it again. In this
case, you can see whether the pump
switches on and off.
• Also ensure that the separation distance
between the float switch head and the
float switch latching mechanism (
is not too small. In the case of a separa-
tion distance which is too small, trouble-
free functioning cannot be guaranteed.
• During the adjustment of the float
switch, ensure that the float switch does
not contact the floor before the pump
switches off.
There is a risk of dry running if the
float switch cable is selected to be
too long

Operational start-up

• Check that the pump is standing
firmly on the bottom of the shaft
or hung up safely.
• Check whether the pressure line
has been attached correctly and
the unused pump outlet is fully
closed.
• Avoid that the pump runs dry.
Regularly check the function
of the float switch. In case of
non-observance or if the pump
runs dry, guarantee and liability
claims are invalidated.
• Check that the electrical connec-
tion is 230 V ~50 Hz
• Check the proper status of the
electrical plug socket and make
