The design of the installation room must be carried out by
a qualified designer appointed by the client in accordance
with local regulations.
Before installation, make sure the following items are fulfilled:

to be installed.
•

The product must be installed in an access-
controlled area. Make sure that only qualified persons

If the site is left unattended before the installation is
completed, all openings must be covered to
prevent foreign objects from entering, such as children,
animals and stones.
Use unbreakable covers that cannot be removed without
tools.
The Hydro EN pump sets must be installed in a weatherproof room
protected from freezing. The room must be well ventilated to
ensure proper cooling of the electric motors and diesel engines.
Make sure that the operating conditions do not exceed those stated

Pay attention to the correct evacuation of diesel engine
exhaust gases. For this purpose, adequate ventilation ducts must

The installation room of the pump set must be properly sized
according to regulations in force and good practices. You must take
the following into account:

routine checks and maintenance
