seal. During operation, the standard-equipped twister function ensures continuous turbulence in the suction area of the pump, preventing settling sediments from sinking
and settling. This ensures a clean pump sump and reduces the build-up of odours.
In the HD version, the motor housing and shaft are made from high-quality stainless
steel (1.4404).

Submersible sewage pump in single-phase current version with oil-filled motor and
built-in thermal overload protection with automatic reactivation. The seal is created on
the fluid side with a mechanical seal, and on the motor side with a rotary shaft seal.
4.1.3Level control
4.1.4Switchgear
4.2Operating principle
Level control is carried out using a float switch. In the version without a switchgear, the
float switch of the submersible sewage pump is used. The “pump On/Off” switching
level is pre-set by the cable length of the attached float switch.
In the version with a switchgear, a separate float switch is installed in the tank. The
“pump on” switching point is determined by the length of the float switch’s cable. The
switching point for “pump off” is defined by the set follow-up time in the switchgear.
Additionally, a further float switch can be installed for a high water alarm.
In the “DS” version, a switchgear is supplied. The switchgear is preconfigured and undertakes control of both submersible sewage pumps. The switchgear can also be used
to implement a collective fault signal (SSM). For further information on the switchgear,
consult the attached installation and operating instructions.
Single-pump system: Wilo-DrainLift Box...
The sewage that arrives is channelled into the collection reservoir via the inlet pipe,
where it collects. When the water level reaches the switch-on level, the pump is
switched on by the attached float switch and the collected sewage is pumped into the
connected pressure pipe. When the switch-off level is reached, the pump is immediately deactivated.
Double-pump system: Wilo-DrainLift Box... D (main/standby pump)
The sewage that arrives is channelled into the collection reservoir via the inlet pipe,
where it collects. When the water level reaches the switch-on level, the pump is
switched on by the attached float switch and the collected sewage is pumped into the
connected pressure pipe. When the switch-off level is reached, the pump is immediately deactivated.
If the main pump malfunctions, pumping is performed by the standby pump.
The sewage that arrives is channelled into the collection reservoir via the inlet pipe,
where it collects. When the water level reaches the switch-on level, the pump is
switched on by a float switch and the collected sewage is pumped into the connected
pressure pipe. When the switch-off level is reached, the pump is deactivated after the
set follow-up time. Pump cycling is carried out after every pumping procedure. If one
pump malfunctions, the other pump is automatically activated.
For enhanced operational reliability, a further float switch can be installed in the tank. A
high water level can be defined using this float switch. When the high water level is
reached:
▪The switchgear emits audible and visual alarm signals.
▪Both pumps undergo forced switch-on.
▪The collective fault signal is activated.
As soon as the water drops below the high water level, the standby pump is switched
off once the follow-up time has elapsed, and the warning message is acknowledged
automatically. The main pump continues to run in the regular pumping cycle.
Operating mode S3: Intermittent periodic duty
This operating mode defines a switching cycle in a combination of periods of operation
and standstill. Specified value (e.g. S325%) relates to the operating time. The switch-
ing cycle has a duration of 10min.
If two values (e.g. S325%/120s) are specified, the first value relates to the operating
time. The second value specifies the max. period of the switching cycle.
