WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious inju‐
ries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous sub‐
stances that you have read the latest safety data
sheets provided by the manufacture of the haz‐
ardous substance. The actions required are
described in the safety data sheet. Check the
safety data sheet regularly and replace, if neces‐
sary, as the hazard potential of a substance can be
re-evaluated at any time based on new findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring
that these safety data sheets are available and that
they are kept up to date, as well as for producing
an associated hazard assessment for the worksta‐
tions affected.

breaker as an absolutely leak-tight shut-off device.
CAUTION!
Personnel injury and material damage / Unit starts
immediately
The pump can start to pump as soon as it is con‐
nected to mains voltage.
Only connect the device to the mains voltage when
all installation work has been completed and the
pumped chemicals can no longer escape in an
uncontrolled manner.
Install an emergency cut-off switch in the pump
power supply line or integrate the pump in the
emergency cut-off management of the system.

5.3 Commissioning Test Run
Test run of the metering pump
Faults during the test run
Should you identify a fault during the test run, first
remedy this fault. Only approve the metering
system after a further test run with distilled water
providing this test run is fault-free.
Details on the set up of the individual components
can be found in the corresponding operating
instructions for the respective components.
Start-up the respective metering pump with a
100% stroke. The stroke length settings are not
pre-set.
1.Make sure that all fittings are in the operating position and
the overflow connector on the multifunctional valve/back
pressure valve is connected and the overflow connector is
led back into a tank.
2.First, fill the two tanks provided on site with water for the test
run.
3.Guide the suction lance correctly into the tank filled with
water and check the discharge side connector to the injection
point.
4.Start the test run of the metering pump (left line) and check
all fittings and connections have the correct operating setting.
5.Counting the pump strokes enables you to identify the quan‐
tity removed.
25
Commissioning
6.Run the metering pump for a few minutes to allow all air bub‐
bles to escape from the metering system. Set the pump to
the required metering volume. You can adjust the pump
output by changing the stroke rate and stroke length.
If the discharge line is routed into a collecting tank, you
ð
can measure the metered volume to determine a
metering volume. Switch off the metering pump again
afterwards.
Draining the metering system
7.Drain the metering system and fully remove water and con‐
taminants from the metering system. The metering system
can be drained by blowing compressed air through the lines.
Do not allow the air pressure to exceed the metering sys‐
tem's permissible operating pressure.

Pay attention to the information in the operating
instructions for the respective metering pumps.
The metering pumps are self-priming and prime
the feed chemical into the metering line on the dis‐
charge side.
Fully bleed the metering line for trouble-free
metering and fill with feed chemical.
Following a successful test run with distilled water, reinstall
all connectors as they need to be for normal operation. Fully
remove any temporary installations, if any are fitted. Set up

run-time of the components. No general statement
on maintenance intervals can therefore be pro‐
vided. The maintenance intervals recommended
and specified in the operating instructions are
based on many years of experience. However, the
maintenance intervals may alter due to the pre‐
vailing operating conditions.
Carry out regular checks on the metering system. Pay attention to
the operating instructions for the components:
n Tightness, visible damage and signs of corrosion
n Check the tightness of the seat of all components of the
metering system
n Remove deposits of dust and soiling
n Check the capacities
n Check the charging pressure of the pulsation damper (bladder
damper) – pay particular attention to the filling medium.
n Check the settings of the back pressure and relief valves,
especially when changing the capacity
n Check and maintain the metering pumps in line with the corre‐
sponding operating instructions
n Check any flow meter equipment and flow displays fitted
Regularly replace wear parts, especially in the pump heads. If the
wear parts are not regularly replaced, it can lead to damage or
excessive noise emission levels.
Annually check all fittings for correct function and leak-tightness.
Replace the seals, O-rings, diaphragms or all fittings etc., if
required.
Following any maintenance work, check the functionality and leaktightness of the metering system.

WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious inju‐
ries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous sub‐
stances that you have read the latest safety data
sheets provided by the manufacture of the haz‐
ardous substance. The actions required are
described in the safety data sheet. Check the
safety data sheet regularly and replace, if neces‐
sary, as the hazard potential of a substance can be
re-evaluated at any time based on new findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring
that these safety data sheets are available and that
they are kept up to date, as well as for producing
an associated hazard assessment for the worksta‐
tions affected.
During decommissioning, de-energise the mains
cable and ensure that it cannot be switched on
again.
Thoroughly clean the metering system of chemi‐
cals and dirt when decommissioning it.
Ä Chapter 2.1 ‘User
If the metering system is idle for a long period of time, thoroughly
rinse, clean and then drain all pipework, fittings, metering pump
and all other wetted parts. If possible, dry/flush the pipework with
compressed air. Compressed air can pressurise residue out of the
lines. When doing so, pay attention to the maximum permissible
pressure of the metering system.
Secure the metering system against unauthorised intervention.
Ensure that suitable barriers, such as flexible protective grating or
barrier tape, are in place.
1.Disconnect the metering system from the mains power
supply.
2.Depressurise all components of the metering system.
3.Drain the metering system and thoroughly rinse it with a suit‐
able medium.
4.
Also read the operating instructions for the
individual components used.
Comply with the storage conditions for temporary decommis‐
sioning.
