5. Einrichtung und Installation
5.1 Anschließen des Abflussschlauchs
The pump features a G 1 1/4" (41.91 mm) external thread pressure connection.
- Direkte Verbindung: A drainage hose can be attached directly to the pump if it has a matching 1 1/4" female thread.
- Elbow Connection: The included connecting elbow (32 mm) allows for a hose to be connected using a hose clamp. Ensure the hose clamp is securely fastened to prevent leaks.

5.2 Positioning the Pump
Place the pump on a stable, level surface in the water to be drained. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and not resting on soft sediment that could block the intake. The minimum water level for the pump to operate is 120 mm.

6. Bedienungsanleitung
6.1 Automatischer Betrieb (Schwimmerschalter)
The T.I.P. TVX 12000 is equipped with a float switch for automatic operation.
- Adjusting the Float Switch: The float switch cable length can be adjusted to set the desired switch-on and switch-off points.
- Switch-on Point: The pump will start automatically when the water level reaches approximately 33 cm (with the float switch freely floating).
- Switch-off Point: The pump will stop automatically when the water level drops to approximately 15 cm.
- Ensure the float switch can move freely and is not obstructed by walls or other objects.

6.2 Manueller Betrieb
For continuous operation or to pump down to the lowest possible residual water level (approx. 30 mm), the float switch can be locked in an upward position.
- To engage manual operation, secure the float switch in its highest position using the integrated locking mechanism or by tying it up.
- Wichtig: When operating manually, the pump will not switch off automatically. Monitor the water level closely to prevent dry running, which can damage the pump. Disconnect power once the desired water level is reached.

7. Wartung
Regelmäßige Wartung gewährleistet die Langlebigkeit und den effizienten Betrieb Ihrer Pumpe.
- Vor der Wartung: Always disconnect the pump from the power supply.
- Reinigung: Periodically clean the pump housing and intake area to remove any debris, dirt, or sediment that may have accumulated. The Vortex impeller design helps prevent blockages, but regular checks are recommended, especially when pumping heavily soiled water.
- Schwimmerschalter: Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Schwimmerschalter sauber ist und sich frei bewegen kann.
- Lagerung: If storing the pump for an extended period, clean it thoroughly and store it in a dry, frost-free location.

8. Fehlerbehebung
Bevor Sie sich an den Kundendienst wenden, prüfen Sie bitte die folgenden häufig auftretenden Probleme:
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpe startet nicht. | Keine Stromversorgung. Float switch not activated (water level too low). Thermischer Überlastschutz aktiviert. | Check power connection and fuse. Ensure water level is above 33 cm or lock float switch for manual operation. Disconnect power, allow pump to cool down for 30 minutes, then restart. |
| Pump runs but delivers no or low water. | Intake blocked. Luft in der Pumpe. Abflussschlauch geknickt oder verstopft. Wasserstand zu niedrig. | Disconnect power and clean intake area. Submerge pump completely and allow air to escape. Prüfen und reinigen Sie den Abflussschlauch. Ensure water level is sufficient (min. 120 mm). |
| Pumpe stoppt unerwartet. | Water level dropped below switch-off point (automatic mode). Thermischer Überlastschutz aktiviert. Stromunterbrechung. | Normal operation in automatic mode. Disconnect power, allow pump to cool down, then restart. Stromversorgung prüfen. |
