Automation With Special Accessories; Maintenance And Troubleshooting - T.I.P. AJ 3 Plus 50/55 Mode D'emploi

8. Automation with special accessories

This model has the necessary pressure to make automation as required. In this context, the term of "automation"
means that the liquid being discharged can be used just as if taken from the water mains: Simply by opening or
shutting water taps or consumer elements.
For automation, you will need an electronic or mechanic control system which can be installed very quickly and
conveniently. As an additional benefit, some of the control systems provide a very effective protection from
damage caused by dry-running since they will cut out the pump in the case of lack of water.
Our range of accessories contains some particularly reliable and proven control systems. For detailed information,
please refer to www.tip-pumpen.de or to your specialised dealer.

9. Maintenance and troubleshooting

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical
mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the
pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage
caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Observing the conditions of use and the ranges of application of the present device will reduce the risk of possible
operational malfunction and contribute to extend the lifetime of your unit. Sand and other abrasive matters
contained in the liquid discharged will speed up the process of wearing and tearing and accelerate the drop in
performance.
If the unit is operated properly, it will not require any maintenance.
If the water pumped is not sufficiently clean, it may be necessary to clean the intake filter (4) with a steel brush in
order to remove the dirt that has accumulated on the outer surface. To do this the pump must be disconnected
from the electrical power supply and taken out of the water. If this external cleaning is not sufficient then the
stainless steel filter panel (4) can be removed from the pump by loosening the two Philips-head screws (fig. 3).
Then the internal side of the intake filter (4) can also be cleaned with a steel brush. The filter panel should then be
rinsed with clean water and re-fitted to the pump (fig 4). Any further disassembly and the replacement of parts
must only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorized customer support personnel, in order to avoid
hazards.
Disassembly

If necessary, it is recommended to clean the intake filter (4) which can be detached from the pump after loosening
the appropriate screws. Subsequently, please use a steel brush to clean the inner and outer surface of the intake
filter. To conclude the cleaning process, please flush the intake filter with clear water and reattach it to the pump.
Cleaning of the hydraulic parts may only be performed by an authorised specialised dealer or customer service.
To avoid any hazard, any further disassembly as well as the replacement of parts must only be done by the
manufacturer or a by an authorised service provider.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable damage. Therefore, the pump
must be removed from the liquid being discharged and fully drained when temperatures are below the freezing
point of the liquid. Please store the pump in a dry, frost-protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or some other
reason which cannot be attributed to a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their elimination. All
the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from the electrical mains. If you
yourself feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact the customer service department or
your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff.
Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for any ensuing damage.
