2. Informații de siguranță
Declinarea răspunderii juridice: This item, component, package, or system is intended for professional use only, by persons knowledgeable of how to determine if it is chemically compatible with the liquid(s) to be pumped, the safe installation, use, and maintenance of pressure-generating and pressure-containing devices, and the safe installation, use, and maintenance of electrically, pneumatically, and hydraulically powered equipment.
- Always ensure the motor is disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance or installation procedures.
- Verify chemical compatibility between the motor components and the pumped media.
- Operate the motor only in well-ventilated areas.
- The no-volt release feature prevents accidental startup after a power interruption, enhancing user safety. Do not bypass this safety mechanism.
3. Caracteristicile produsului
- Putere de ieșire: 800 watts, providing robust performance for various pumping tasks.
- Voltage: 120 Volts, 60 Hz.
- Evaluare de protecție: IP 24 splash-proof, suitable for industrial environments.
- Viteza variabila: Electronic speed setting for precise control over pumping volume.
- No-Volt Release: Integrated safety feature to prevent uncontrolled restarts after power loss.
- Sistem de racire: Excellent air cooling for extended service life and low noise levels.
- Compatibilitate: Designed to work seamlessly with all FLUX barrel and container pumps.
4. Configurare
- Despachetarea: Carefully remove the motor from its packaging and inspect for any signs of damage.
- Montare: Attach the F 457 EL motor securely to the appropriate FLUX barrel or container pump. Ensure a firm connection to prevent dislodgement during operation.
- Conexiune de alimentare: Connect the motor's power supply cable (16' long, 2-pole plug) to a compatible 120V, 60Hz power outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded.
- Verificare pre-operare: Before starting, confirm all connections are secure and the pump is correctly positioned in the liquid to be transferred.
5. Funcționare
- Pornirea motorului: Press the green 'ON' switch located on the handle. The motor should start immediately.
- Ajustarea vitezei: Use the electronic speed setting dial (if applicable) to control the motor's RPM and thus the pumping volume. Turn the dial clockwise to increase speed and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Stopping the Motor: Press the red 'OFF' switch or release the 'ON' switch (if it's a momentary switch).
- No-Volt Release: In the event of a power interruption, the motor will automatically shut off and will not restart until the 'ON' switch is manually pressed again after power is restored. This is a critical safety feature.
6. Întreținere
- Curățare regulată: Keep the motor housing clean and free from dust and debris to ensure optimal air cooling. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
- Inspecţie: Periodically inspect the power cable for any signs of damage, fraying, or wear. Replace immediately if damage is found.
- Ventilare: Ensure the motor's ventilation openings are not obstructed during operation.
- Serviciu profesional: For internal maintenance or repairs, contact authorized FLUX service personnel. Do not attempt to open the motor housing yourself.
7. Depanare
- Motor Does Not Start:
- Verificați alimentarea și conexiunile.
- Ensure the 'ON' switch is fully engaged.
- Verify that the no-volt release has been reset by pressing the 'ON' switch after a power interruption.
- Reduced Pumping Performance:
- Check the speed setting; adjust if necessary.
- Inspect the pump for blockages or wear (refer to pump manual).
- Zgomot sau vibrații neobișnuite:
- Opriți motorul imediat.
- Inspect for loose connections or foreign objects.
- If the issue persists, contact FLUX service.
