Product description, general

The KESSEL Pumpfix F backwater valve with integrated pump (referred to as the backwater pumping station from
here onwards) has been designed for pumping off wastewater with and without sewage. The assemblies for the
pumps, the optical sensor and motor-driven backwater flap are installed in the drain body.
In normal operation, the wastewater passes through the backwater pumping station to the sewage channel
without any backwater occurrence.
If the wastewater from the sewage system swells back as far as the backwater pumping station, this will be
detected by an optical probe. The motor-driven backwater flap is closed. The wastewater from the building is then
collected in the drain body of the Pumpfix F.
The sensor switching signals for the level in the wastewater tank are processed electronically in the control unit.
An optical backwater probe is used as a level sensor. Once the corresponding level has been reached, the pump-
off function against the backwater (via the drain body of the Pumpfix F) is activated.
In the event of power outage, the functional safety of the motor-driven backwater flap can be guaranteed for about
2 hours during which it is battery-operated. After this period, the backwater flap is closed to protect the building.
