Safety instructions for user/operator

Hot or cold machine parts could become a hazard, these parts must not be handled by the user
Touch protection for moving parts (e.g. coupling) must not be removed from the machine whilst in operation/without being isolated.
Leakage (of the tank seal, for example) of hazardous materials (e.g. corossive, toxic, hot) must be rectified immediately so no danger is caused to persons and the environment. Legal regulations must be observed in this regard.
Hazards caused by electricity (ie. exposed electrical components during servicing) must be safeguarded against (eg. isolation of the product and any necessary PPE alongside any additional regulations that apply).

Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection and installation work
The user has to make sure that all maintenance, inspection and installation work is carried out by authorised and qualified personnel only, who have read the operating instructions. Work on the machine may be carried out only when the unit is isolated and made safe to do so. Pumps or pump assemblies, which convey media hazardous to health, must be handled with caution and PPE is to be used where necessary. After works are completed all safety and protection devices have to be fitted again and/or have to be made functional again. Before restart, the points listed in the chapter on initial commissioning should be observed.

Unauthorised modification and spare parts usage
Modifications or changes to the machine shall be permissible only after consultation with the manufacturer. Original spare parts and accessories authorised by the manufacturer serve to ensure safety and longevity of the product.The use of other parts may results in the loss of liability for the consequences that may occur unless advised otherwise by the manufacturer.

Incorrect operating modes
The operational safety of the machine supplied is ensured only when used as intended according to Section 2 – General aspects of the operating instructions. The performance limits indicated in the data sheet must by no means be exceeded.

Storage
For best practice storage or intermediate warehousing, it is suggested to keep the system in a cool, dark, dry and frost-proof place. The system should be kept in an upright position.

DESCRIPTION

General description
The pumping station is pre-fitted with hydraulic assembly including non-return & isolation valves. For ease of installation, only the incoming waste/drain line, rising main,venting line, level control and power supply need to be connected.

Design and functionality
Twin motor models come complete with guide rail coupling system pre-mounted, to which the pump is engaged prior to commissioning. The pump can be lifted out of the tank via the lifting chain without loosening screw connections in the shaft. Depending on the size of the pump, lifting gear might be necessary to lift it out. This way, maintenance and repair work on the pump is possible outside the tank. In order to prevent backflow of the water column being in the pressure line at the ball check valve during maintenance and repairing work, a shut-off valve is mounted before the check valve in the pressure line.

INSTALLATION

Excavation
The correct excavation, concrete ballast & backfill is essential to stop potential hydrostatic uplift along with lateral ground load deformation of the in-ground pump chamber. Hydrostatic uplift is a term used for the action of subsurface water applying pressure to the underside of the tank, whilst lateral load deformation can be caused by lateral ground movement forces pushing against the walls of the chamber/tank.

Note: Make sure chamber is half filled with water whilst completing ballast till commissioning.

WARNINGS
Safe work method and correct shoring procedures must be followed in all excavation works excavon works The following excavation dimensions along with ballast and backfill procedures must be followed must be followed to maintain warranty of the pump chamber/tank.

Motor Installation

Attach the chain to the pump and connect to the top of the tank using the hook provided
Slide the pump(s) onto, and down the guide bars to the bottom of the tank where the pump will seat on the foot coupling

Electrical Connection

NOTE
SANIFOS® 1000 Twin GR floats and motors must be connected to the SMART controller via the IP68 waterproof terminal connectors provided for this model only. It is imperative that you respect the colours of the cables when making the connections. (See page 7) After motor installation has been completed wiring of floats and motors back to controller should be finalized in preparation for commissioning. If Sanifos ZFS Twin & ZFS Single require cable extensions correct cable connection and sealing via heat shrink or resin filled jointing is crucial.
