- Damage to the environment and danger to personnel caused by leakage of wastewater Along with these operating instructions, existing national and local regulations as well as potential in-company work, operating and safety instructions applying to the user/site must be observed.
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.
GENERAL ASPECTS

dropped. Moreover, they shall be kept upright during transportation.
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.
Preparing the terminal blocks (Sanifos 1000 Twin GR only)
COMMISSIONING
Before commissioning, all connections must be checked again for correct installation and watertightness. The shut-off valve must be open. See relevant motor and controller manuals for full commissioning information.
MAINTENANCE / SERVICING
For help finding the relevant service-person please contact SFA Australia directly. Maintenance includes regular visual inspection of the complete system. Water should be run into the tank using a connected fixture and the pumping process should be checked. Check for correct cycling of the pump(s) and that all hydraulic fittings are functioning as intended. Note – in twin pump models, to be functioning correctly,the pumps should alternate cycling with each activation of the unit. After maintenance has been carried out, the maintenance interval indicator on the controller should be reset. Maintenance should only ever be carried out by qualified individuals.
