4.4.2 Discharge piping
Improper fitting of the discharge pipe. Leaks and flooding of
the installation room!
w
Run the discharge line above the back-flow level before
connecting to the sewer.
w
The pumping station must not be used as a control point
for piping.
w
Do not connect other drain pipes to the discharge pipe.
w
Fit isolation valves to inlets and discharge pipework.
NOTE
To prevent the risk of back-flow of water from the sewer,
install the discharge pipe in a «loop» so that its base, at
the highest point, is located above the back-flow level.
Fit a shutoff valve behind the check valve.
The check valves are equipped with a lever for emptying
the discharge pipe into the tank.
4.4.3 Ventilation pipe
Insufficient ventilation. Risk that the pumping station will
not work!
w
Ventilation must remain free
w
Do not block the vent outlet
w
Do not install one-way vent systems.
It must be equipped with a vent above the roof. The pumping station must
always be ventilated so that the tank is always at atmospheric pressure.
The ventilation must be completely free and air must flow in both
directions (no studor, mechanical or one-way vents).
The vent pipe must not be connected to the vent pipe on the inlet side of
a grease trap.
Connect the 2 1/2’’ vent pipe (depending on the model) vertically to the
vent opening with the flexible couplings. The connection must be smell-
proof.

COMMISSIONING / DECOMMISSIONING
5.1 Commissioning
5.1.1 Prerequisites for commissioning
Before commissioning the pumping station, make sure that the electrical
connection for the pumping station and all protective devices has been
correctly performed.
5.2 Application limit
w
Pressure and temperature limits exceeded. Leakage of hot
or toxic fluid!
w
Observe the operating specifications in the documentation.
w
Avoid running the pump with the valve closed.
w
Dry running, without pumped fluid, must be avoided.
When in use, observe the following parameters and values:
Parameter
Value
Max. allowed temperature
104 °F
of the fluid
up to 158 °F when pumped
5
minutes
max.
Max. room temperature
122 °F
5.3 Starting frequency
To prevent engine overheating and excessive stress on the engine, seals
and bearings, limit the number of starts to 60 per hour.
5.4 Commissioning with the control box
w
The control box cover is not properly closed. Risk of death!
w
Properly close the control box cover.
w
Then reconnect the power plug.
Operations required for commissioning
1. Perform a functional and sealing test of the pumping station: Once the
hydraulic and electrical connections are made, check the connections
for leaks by running water successively through each inlet used. Ensure
the device is operating properly and there are no leaks by performing a
water test and observing several start cycles.
2. Check the various points on the checklist (
c
section 7.6, page 10)
3. Warning: Do not run the motor in forced mode (by pressing the key on
the keypad) before putting the pump in water. Dry running damages
the vortex system.
5.5 Decommissioning
1. Close the valves on the inlet and discharge pipes.
2. Drain the tank by pressing the forced mode button on the pump.
3. Switch off the electrical power supply and disconnect the installation.
w
The current is not cut. Risk of death!
w
Unplug the plug or disconnect the electrical conductors
and take the steps required to avoid inadvertent operation.
4. Inspect the hydraulic parts and vortex impeller (depending on the
model). Clean them if necessary.
5. Clean the tank.
w
Pumped fluids and secondary consumable materials that are
harmful to health. Dangerous for people and the environment!
w
Pumping stations used to discharge fluids that may be harmful
to health must be decontaminated.
If necessary, wear a mask and protective clothing.
w
Observe current legal provisions for the discharge of fluids
harmful to health.

OPERATION
6.1 SANICUBIC® VX Control box
NOTE
This paragraph describes the operation of a control box for
two pumps. The control box is operated in a similar manner
for one pump.

LED lamps
The LED lamps provide information on the operating state of the control
box:
The detection system must be vented. Connect the vent hose to the
station’s control box.
