(1). Mounting on the ceiling (3/overhead) or wall (4/mo- tor positioned at the bottom) is usually possible fol- lowing consultation with Schmalz. Mounting on the wall with the motor positioned at the top (2) is not permitted. The pump can be installed on solid ground without any anchoring. For installations on a substructure, at- tachment using rubber buffer elements is recommended.
Keep connections free of oil, grease, water and other contaminants. The supply line must be installed without any me- chanical stress by using a flexible hose or rigid pipe. Size Connection Line cross section (MIN) EVE-TR 4 (DC) 1/4" 6 mm 10 mm EVE-TR 8 (DC) 3/8" 10 mm 13 mm...
• The pump supply line must meet the minimum requirements as per the lat- est standards of technology. 7.6.1 Electrical Connection (EVE-TR 4-8 Standard) 1. Connect the motor in accordance with the connection diagram (see the terminal box cover).
Page 25
7 Installation 2. Consult the motor type plate for information about the permissible connection types for the motor. The motor must be protected with a motor- protection switch, for which the service factor (SF) must also be taken into account. Operation without adequate fuse protection is prohibited.
Page 26
7 Installation 7.6.2 Electrical Connection (EVE-TR 4-8 DC) The motor must be connected as per the description below. The motor must be protected with a motor-protection switch, for which the service factor (SF) must also be taken into account. Operation without adequate fuse protection is prohibited.

7 Installation 4. When you connect the power supply, you must also include the supplied ferrites. The method can be taken from the figure op- posite. You must cut the cables to the correct length. Fit a ring terminal (not included in delivery) to the PE cable and screw onto the PE connec- tion.
8 Operation 8 Operation 8.1 Switching On the Pump The pump is switched on using the switching elements in the application. Following activation, the pump switches directly to normal operating mode. There are no lower-level operating modes for setup, mainte- nance or troubleshooting. Do not start the pump until it has been properly set up, the electrical connection has been properly estab- lished and the media lines have been connected.
9 Troubleshooting 9 Troubleshooting 9.1 Troubleshooting Follow the detailed description of the safety instructions (> See ch. 2.5 Residual Risks, p. 8) .

The fault cannot be corrected If you cannot identify any of the listed causes, send the pump to Schmalz customer service. 1. Flush the pump with air for a number of minutes (if required for safety reasons: with an inert gas) at the atmospheric pressure to clear hazardous or abrasive gases from the pump head.
10 Maintenance 10 Maintenance Follow the detailed description of the safety instructions (> See ch. 2.5 Residual Risks, p. 8) . If a maintenance task requires any protective devices to be disassembled, they must be disassembled only for the duration of the maintenance task. After the maintenance task is complete, all protective devices are to be fully installed in their designated location immediately and checked for functionality.
