Test run

Do a test run before putting the pump chamber into operation. A test run examines the correct functioning of the pump chamber. If necessary, adjust the switching points and the follow-up time of the pump.

  1. Pump chamber is installed correctly.
  1. Remove the pump chamber cover.
  2. Activate the pumping station:
  3. Pumping station without a switchgear: Put the plug into the socket.
  4. Pumping station with a switchgear: Activate the switchgear at the main switch. Set automatic mode.
  5. Open the shut-off valve in the discharge line.
  6. NOTICE! The shut-off valve in the inlet stays closed.
  7. Fill the pump chamber with water through the chamber opening.
  8. NOTICE! Do not shoot the water jet directly above the float switch.
  9. Pump is switched on and off using the level control.
  10. Do no less than two full pumping procedures of all pumps for a test run.
  11. For two-pump chamber: The pumps must run in alternation, with one pump running for each pumping operation.
  12. Fill the discharge pipe fully with water to examine the duty point. Do more test runs until the discharge pipe is fully filled.
  13. Fit the chamber cover and prevent it from non-approved opening.
  1. The test run is completed.
  2. If the pump chamber is put into operation: Keep shut-off valve open in the discharge pipe.
  3. When the pump chamber is in standby mode: Close the shut-off valve in the discharge pipe.
