SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7.1
Important Safety Information
Owners and operators of Tecnicomar ECOmar S STP are urged to read this manual thoroughly as, by understanding the
functional principles of the plant, operational problems will not occur and satisfaction with your unit will be obtained. It is
important to read this manual through before attempting to install, connect or run the system.
Most of accidents that happen during the ECOmar S STP use, maintenance and repair are caused by the not observance of
principals, rules or safety precautions. An accident can be avoided simply by knowing the potentially dangerous situation
before an accident happens. Staff must have been trained, in possess of the competence and instruments to operate in good way
and take care for potential risks.
The use, maintenance or repair executed in the wrong way can be dangerous and cause injuries of the staff or even death. Do
not use the system or execute operations of inspection, test, cleaning or maintenance until all the information about use,
inspections, test, cleaning or maintenance have been read.
This manual contains a summary of the information needed for knowledge, installation, conduct and maintenance, in safety
conditions, of the sewage treatment plant. For that reason, besides being an important bibliography containing the essential
rules for a good use of the system, it is also a guide for the installer. The remaining technical documentation supplied with the
ECOmar S STP (wiring schemes, layout drawings, and use and maintenance manuals of the subsystems items) represents
integral part of this manual.
A detailed maintenance is one of the most important factors for a good working of the unit. To neglect this factor can be a
source of danger for people and things and, obviously, for the system. The normal periodic maintenance and the daily controls
must be carried out with a prefixed program according to the instructions and prescriptions contained in the technical manuals
of the macerator pump, sea water pump, filling pump, dosing pumps, U.V. sterilizer and all the other main components. It is
good to set up a service schedule containing the operations to carry out where to note the working time, interventions,
maintenance operations and repair done. Supplementary maintenance, repairs and particular calibrations and settings must be
carried out only by qualified and authorised staff.
The careful reading of this manual by the installer is important for safety ends. Nevertheless, it must be considered that many
of the arguments and information contained have a specialist attribute and need a more specific knowledge in the
system/electromechanical field to be understood. For that reason the user should refer to a qualified technician for the
installation and maintenance of the system, following the instructions contained in the sections. Tecnicomar disposes of an
Aftermarket Service and of a Technical Office capable of supply, in every moment, every kind of technical information or tips
needed for good installation and good use of the system. The use and maintenance intervals refer to a normal working condition
that can change with particular conditions of use. The normal working, the life, the safety use, the operative economy of the
ECOmar S and all the subsystems depend on the observance of the recommendations and provisions contained in this manual.
The neglect of that and a bad or improper use of the systems, besides to being reason for invalidate the warranty, can lower the
safety and increase the operative costs. It is important to consider that the ECOmar S STP it is not intended to be used by not
professional users. All the activities linked to the operative part and to the life cycle of the system, must be carried out by
authorised and trained staff, with experience on mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems.
7.2
