Test run

Stationary installed pumps (e.g., in a soakaway, pit, etc.) must be subjected to a test run. The test run is used to examine the basic conditions (switching points, tightness of the pipework). A test run includes three pumping cycles.

  1. The gate valve in the discharge line is open.
  2. A water source with clean water is available to simulate the inflow of water.
  1. Flood the pit with water.
  2. The "ON" level is reached: the pump starts.
  3. The "OFF" level is reached: the pump stops.
  4. Do steps one to three two times.
  1. After three pump cycles, the test run is finished. Switch to automatic mode: Open the gate valve in the inlet.
