warning! Important information to be read with special care
1.3 Safety
The main information for the safety of the product and user is provided in the “Safety Information” leaflet supplied with this manual.
1.4 Training of installation and maintenance staff

The staff assigned to install and maintain the product must be trained in the inevitable residual risks related to electrical equipment operating in
contact with biological liquids.
They must also be capable of reading and understanding the contents of the technical documentation supplied with the product, especially the
electrical wiring diagrams.
1.5 Residual risks

The product is designed and built to ensure safe, reliable use.
However, since it is intended for use with liquids that constitute a health hazard, the installation and maintenance staff must take great care and
always wear regulation personal protection equipment.
During all work on the product, users must take care not to drop the pump and must not underestimate the risks of burns, electrocution, drowning
and suffocation or poisoning due to the inhalation of toxic gases.
To reduce the risks associated with lightning, the user is required to install any necessary and adequate lightning protection mea-
sures.
Any intervention which modifies the pump components can create a DANGER of EXPLOSION.
The pumps MUST be used ONLY in areas compatible with the characteristics recorded on the label.
During handling, installation or disinstallation operations the pump must be disconnected from the power supply panel.
1.6 Product description / Intended use

Zenit UNIQA is a range of submersible electric pumps with energy-saving motor.
These products are intended for use in residential, industrial and municipal sewage treatment plants and lifting stations.
They are designed to lift and pump slurries, faecal material, clean water, waste water or water soiled with solid or fibrous materials.
They may not be used with liquids for human consumption or in potentially explosive atmospheres (except for models with explosion-proof certi-
fication).
ATEX electric pumps, identifiable by the -EX acronym, are certified according to the antideflagrant protection mode recorded on the plate
for the operation within shafts, tanks and, in the version including cooling jacket, in drying chambers where explosive gas/dust is present
or in any area classified as Zone 1 or 21; the user is required to define a suitable inspection programme in order to avoid the layer of
dust on the surface of the electric pump from exceeding 5 mm.
Usage: drainage, evacuation and/or removal of waste from sewers and septic tanks in areas with the PRESENCE OF GAS AND EXPLO-
SIVE DUST (-EX); removal of liquids containing solid and filamentous particles; drainage water, purification water and washing water from
civil and industrial processes in atmospheres containing group II A and/or B gas (usually hydrocarbon gas) and/or atmospheres containing
a mix of combustible dusts.
warning! The -EX approval lapses following interventions or repair work carried out by unauthorised workshops or staff. Accor-
dingly, the electric pump can no longer be used in areas with an explosion danger.
The -EX plate will have to be removed.
1.7 Warranty cover

Zenit undertakes to repair or replace the product if failures are due to design, manufacturing and assembly defects and are reported to Zenit during
the warranty period.
The warranty does not cover failures due to:
• normal wear and tear;
• improper handling, installation and use;
4
• use with incorrectly connected control systems;

• work done by unskilled staff;
• use of non-genuine spare parts.
warning! Any modifications made to the product without the manufacturer’s authorisation may cause hazards and lead to a deterioration in EN
performance and loss of warranty cover.
Any interventions of the pump in -EX versions must be carried out by an authorised Service Centre or by authorised technicians
using only original spare parts. Failure to comply with this conduct infers the loss of the ATEX certification of the machine and
invalidates the guarantee.
1.8 Technical data

The product’s technical data and characteristics are provided in the technical information.
1.8.1 Operating limits

For correct use, comply with the following operating limits:
• Ambient temperature:
The temperature of the pumped liquid must be below the Tamb max value specified on the nameplate.
• Minimum level of liquid
Note: The minimum level of the liquid in the tank must never drop below the motor cover in order to ensure that the pump is cooled effectively
(Fig. 1 A).
If models with cooling jacket or allowing dry operation are installed, the minimum level of the liquid may fall below the motor cover but must always
at least be above the body of the pump to prevent the formation of turbulence which may allow air to be drawn in (Fig. 1 B); a check should always
be performed to ensure that the electric pump operates correctly with the minimum liquid level.
Depending on the specific installation, additional measures may be necessary to ensure correct operating conditions for the pump on the intake
side.
Attention: to ensure the declared ATEX conformity, a level control system will have to be implemented, with strict manual re-
arming, through the use of tank balls or level probes.
The -EX version electric pump can be used with a frequency converter (inverter) with the compulsory condition that the breakers
inside the motor are correctly connected to the control panel (possibly, for non-standard panels, outside of the risk area).

2. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Visual inspection

Make a visual inspection of the packaging for damage. Record any significant damage to the product in the transport documents.
If articles are missing, contact Zenit (or its dealer) or the forwarders.
Remove the packaging materials and dispose of them as required by law. Take special care not to injure yourself with sharp tools and not to da-
mage to the product, especially the electrical wiring.
Inspect the product to ensure that there are no damaged or missing parts.
Check that the data on the nameplate are the same as those of the product required.
2.2 Electrical cables protections

The ends of the electrical cables are protected with a heat-shrink sheath that stops liquids or humidity from getting in.
This protection does not ensure a water-tight seal and is only able to preserve the cable from water spray or similar (IP44).
Accordingly, do not immerse the ends of the cables in any sort of liquid, not even with the protections on, and only take the sheath off immediately
before setting up the electrical connection to the electric pump.
If the storage location is subject to flooding, be careful to set the ends of the cable up at a higher level than the maximum possible flooding level.
Follow the instructions below to remove the heat-shrink sheath (Fig. 6):
1. cut across the end of the heat-shrink sheath;
2. make a lengthwise cut in the heat-shrink sheath, taking care not to damage the wires inside;
3. open the flaps of the sheath to expose the wires, and slide the sheath off the cable.
1 2 3

2.3 Handling and lifting

The pump must be lifted and handled using a chain or sling secured to the handle on top, with suitable machinery
(crane, hoist, etc.).
Before lifting, make a note of the weight of the product stated on the nameplate and use certified slings, chains and EN
hooks of suitable load capacity.
Ensure that the electric pump is firmly secured and cannot fall, rotate or swing.
The handle on top is designed to ensure that the pump will be balanced during lifting; however, it may swing when
lifted off the ground (Fig. 7).
Do not stand close to the pump during handling.
Always wear personal protection equipment.
warning! NEVER handle the product by means of the power supply or signalling wiring.
Within a hazardous area, handle any moving with caution, avoiding bumps or friction of the pump
with other metallic objects as this could cause sparks, therefore increasing the risk of explosions.
2.4 Storage
During storage, the electric pump must be kept in a suitable place, out of the reach of children or those with dimini-
α
shed responsibility, suitably secured against falling and protected from damp, vibrations (< veff = 0,2 mm/s), dust and
extreme temperatures (below -20°C/-4°F and above +60°C/140°F). Fig. 7
If the pump should freeze, do not use flames to remove the ice; immerse it in the liquid in which it is to be installed
until it thaws out.
Models with cooling jacket use a 30% water-glycol mixture as coolant; this mixture retains its properties intact down to a temperature of -13°C
(9°F). At lower temperatures, the mixture becomes more viscose but it does not solidify completely, and it can therefore be used without damaging
the pump.
However, the condition of the coolant mixture and the mechanical seal sump oil should be checked before using the product if it has been exposed
to low temperatures.
If the electric pump needs to be stored for more than six months, prior to commissioning it, change the oil in the mechanical seals chamber and
take it to an authorised disposal centre. Do not dispose of the oil as household waste.
warning! Turn the impeller by hand occasionally (at least every 2 months) through the outlet or intake, to prevent the mechanical seals from
sticking together.
Following storage, inspect the electric pump to make sure there is no damage, check the oil level in the mechanical seals chamber and make sure
the impeller spins freely.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 General safety precautions

• Fence off the working area by appropriate means and wear personal protection equipment.
• The pump must be lowered into the tank using a sling or chain of suitable size tied to the handle.
• Check the electric cable and gaskets for damage and make sure that the impeller turns freely.
• The size of the tank in which the pump is installed must be such that:
• any level float switches are able to move freely;
• the number of pump switch on/switch off cycles does not exceed the permitted number stated in the technical information;
• To prevent the cavitation problems caused if the pump draws in air, ensure that the liquids do not flow into the tank near to or towards the pump.
• Check that the minimum liquid level is correct in relation to the duty point to obtain trouble-free operation and satisfactory cooling of the pump.
• Make sure that the pump does not operate off its characteristic curve.
• Do not install the pump in zones with an explosion risk (except for models with explosion-proof certification).
The shock from built up electrostatic charges on isolated components could cause an explosion. -EX pumps do not have isolated
components that are electrostatically chargeable and they are all equipped with screw for connection to the equipotential ground
network (Fig. 8).
Any additional components installed in the hazardous area must be connected to the earthing network according to the EN 1127-
1 rule, part 6.4.7.
Check the suitability for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of each additional component installed in the hazardous area.
3.2 Checking the impeller rotation direction

Before making the definitive electrical connection, a skilled technician must make sure the impel-
ler rotation direction is correct.
The pump carries a decal which indicates the correct impeller rotation direction (green arrow) and
the relative kickback direction (red arrow) when the pump is viewed from above (Fig. 4b).
All of the following operations should be carried out in a secure place, in absence
of potentially explosive atmospheres; if this is not possible, you must carry out the
testing with a device which controls the sequence phases installed inside the elec-
tric panel.
Proceed as follows:
1. Take the precautions detailed in the “Safety Precautions” manual.
2. Place the pump vertical on its feet or base.
3. Secure the pump by tying a suitably sized chain or sling to the handle on the top to prevent
it from falling over after the kickback. Fig. 8
9
warning! The kickback may be very strong. Do not stand close to the pump during the procedure.
4. Temporarily connect the yellow-green wire to the system ground connector and then connect the power supply wires to the contactor.
EN 5. Make sure there are no people or objects within a distance of at least 2 metres of the pump.
6. Operate the start switch, power up the pump for a few seconds and then shut off the power by flicking the stop switch.
7. Check that the rotation direction is correct.
If the pump is rotating in the wrong direction, invert two of the pump’s three power supply phases and try again, repeating the procedure described.
Once the connection which provides the correct rotation direction has been obtained, MARK the precise order in which the wires have been con-
nected to the system, DISCONNECT the power supply wires from the pump and proceed with definitive installation.
warning! If more than one pump is connected to a single control panel, the rotation direction must be checked individually for each unit instal-
led.
3.3 Installing the float switch control system (Fig. 9)

Float switches allow one or more pumps to be started and stopped in response to the level of liquid in the tank.
They can also be connected to alarm devices to prevent operational problems (overflow or dry running).
They must be installed well away from turbulence or inflows of water.
In the event of strong turbulence, float switches should be installed on a rigid rod mounted inside the pit.
Make sure that there are no items which may obstruct movement of the floats and that the wires do not interfere with each other, and cannot
become tangled or trapped on projections inside the tank.
Float switches must be installed in such a way that the correct minimum liquid level is guaranteed (see point 1.8.1).
ON
OFF
Fig. 9
In the case where installation of an ATEX pump provide a level control system through float switches, there needs to be at least
2 (start-up and shutdown) and, if installed in a hazardous area, they must be certified for potentially explosive atmospheres. In
this instance, the connection to the electric control panel must be carried out using an Intrinsic Safety interface such as a Zener
safety barrier or a galvanic isolation barrier.
Ensure that the switch from shut down to start-up occurs only and exclusively if both of the floats find themselves in the position shown
in Fig 10.
Ensure that the switch from start-up to shut down occurs only and exclusively if both of the floats find themselves in the position shown
in Fig 11.
The electric connection of the floats must be carried out in such a way that ensures the shutdown of the pump in cases of a malfunctioning
float.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

• All the procedures involved in connecting the unit to the electrical mains must be carried out by skilled staff in accordance with the relevant legal
requirements: incorrect electrical connections may cause fires and an electrocution hazard, or the risk of damage to the product.
• Before carrying out any operation, make sure that the pump and electrical panel are disconnected from the electrical mains and cannot be
accidentally powered up.
• Check that the unused conductors are properly insulated and fixed in the electrical panel.
• Before installation, make sure that the power supply line voltage and frequency are as stated on the nameplate and that the power absorption
of the pump is below the maximum current the system is able to deliver.
• The maximum voltage variation allowed for rated value is:
S1 continuously running: ± 5%
S3 intermittent running: ±10%
• Voltage imbalance between phases: max 2%
• The fuses and protective cut-outs must be of suitable rating for the system’s characteristics.
• Protect the pump motor using an overload cut-out suitable for the electrical data provided on the nameplate.
• Make sure that the thermal protection devices are properly connected: apart from leading to forfeiture of warranty cover, failure to connect the
thermal protection may constitute a hazard.
• The electrical operation and safety of ZENIT electric pumps are guaranteed for the configuration supplied by the manufacturer: any changes
(e.g. addition of extra lengths of cable to the original power lead) may cause a deterioration in the pump’s characteristics.
4.1.1 Wiring
• Make sure that the electrical cables are not damaged in any way and the ends have not be exposed to damp and/or immersed in water.
• The cable’s free terminals must be connected to a regulation control panel with a degree of insulation suitable for the installation environment.
• Secure the electric cables so that they cannot be twisted, torn and/or crushed.
• If the cable is damaged, do not replace it; contact Zenit or an Authorised Service Centre.
• Do not underestimate the problems caused by voltage drops.
• In case of use with a variable frequency drive, use screened cables compliant with the relevant regulations.
The ends of the power supply cable must be connected to an electric panel certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
if it is installed in a hazardous area
16
4.1.2 Ground connection

• Make sure that the ground system and differential security breaker are present and in good working order.
• Check that the ground conductor is about 150 mm longer than the other conductors so that it will be the last to become disconnected from the
panel in the event of accidental tugs.
EN
4.1.3 Thermal protection
The standard thermal protection consists of bimetal thermal sensors integral in the stator.
It protects the motor from overheating and resets automatically once the motor has cooled down.
PTC thermostats can be used as an optional.
The thermal protection cables are marked with a label stating “PROTEZIONE TERMICA - THERMAL PROTECTION” and must be connected to
the corresponding terminals of the control panel.
The electrical panel must be set in a way to avoid the automatic restart of the submersible pump. The pump has to be exclusively restarted manually
by a technician after having fixed the causes of the anomaly.
Apart from leading to forfeiture of warranty cover, failure to connect the thermal protection may constitute a hazard.
For installations with ATEX-certified models, the electric panel must be predisposed to guarantee the shutdown of the motor
when the thermal protection intervenes and to avoid the automatic start-up of the pump which must only be started manually with
the intervention of an operator.
4.1.4 Water sensor

The standard electric pump is equipped with a single-signal dual probe (Fig. 21) that can detect the presence of water or humidity in the oil cham-
ber of the mechanical seals and in the motor.
The water sensor is of single electrode type and uses the ground conductor to close the circuit; the circuit must be supplied with power by means
of an insulating transformer.
The cable is marked with a label with the letter “S” and must be connected to the corresponding terminal of the control panel.
On request, the electric pump can be equipped with single probes for the detection of water or humidity inside the oil chamber of the mechanical
seals (S1), the motor compartment (S2) and the terminal board compartment (S3) (Fig. 22).
For installations with ATEX-certified models, the connection to the electric control panel must be carried out by inserting an
Intrinsic Safety interface such as the Zener safety barrier or the galvanic isolation barrier. In the case of a warning, proceed with
maintenance.

5. COMMISSIONING

EN • All operations must be carried out by skilled technical staff.
• The pump must always be used with the safety devices installed and in good working order.
• Keep objects and people at a safe distance from the machines installed and do not allow people or animals to come into contact with the liquid
in which they are immersed.
• Before connecting the pump to the power supply panel, check that the impeller can turn freely.
• Check that the impeller turns in the correct direction using the procedure described in point 3.2 “Checking the impeller rotation direction”.
5.2 Starting the electric pump

Once installation is complete, the system should be tested to ensure that it is fully operational.
Use an ammeter to check that the power absorption of the pumps installed is within the limit stated on the nameplate.
warning! The maximum permitted number of starts per hour is stated in the technical information and must be complied with to prevent da-
mage to the motor.
5.3 Acoustic pressure level

The pump’s acoustic pressure level when in operation is below 70 dB.
However, in some systems and in some duty points on the performance curve this threshold may be exceeded.
Check the permitted acoustic pressure level in the environment where the product is installed to avoid breaching local legal requirements.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 Introduction
Zenit UNIQA electric submersible pumps undergo through final inspection before they are offered for sale and installed.
The product’s reliability derives from the use of top quality components but also depends on regular inspections which must be carried out by the
user.
warning! The instructions for inspection and maintenance of these pumps must never be viewed as “DIY” procedures; they require specific
technical knowledge.
Any interventions of the pump in -EX versions must be carried out by an authorised Service Centre or by authorised technicians
using only original spare parts.
Failure to comply with this rule may cause loss of warranty rights and put the pump’s safety at risk. A service and planned maintenance contract
with the Zenit Authorised Service Centre guarantees the best technical service. The Zenit warranty is only valid if repairs and reactive maintenance
are performed by an Authorised Service Centre.

• Take the precautions detailed in the “Safety Precautions” manual.
• Before cleaning and/or maintenance procedures, a skilled technician must disconnect the pump from the power supply and ensure that it
cannot start up accidentally.
• Always disconnect the phase wires first and then the yellow-green ground wire.
• Ensure that the pump cannot fall or roll, causing injury or damage.
• Wash the surface of the pump thoroughly with clean water and/or specific detergent before doing any work on it.
• After prolonged use, the surface of the pump may become very hot: allow it to cool sufficiently to avoid burns.
• Always comply with the safety regulations in force in the place of installation, any local regulations and the dictates of common sense.
6.3 Planned maintenance

Maintenance intervals depend on the type of installation, the workload to which the pump is subjected and the type of liquid in which it is immersed.
During planned maintenance or in any circumstances when the pump’s performance deteriorates or its vibrations and noise level increase, the
parts subject to wear and tear must be inspected; have this done by an Authorised Service Centre.
Do not use the pump if malfunctioning because sudden failure of the rotating parts may cause hazardous situations or damage to the motor.
If the hydraulic part is fouled, clean it thoroughly.
For machines subject to ATEX certification, Zenit recommends a scheduled maintenance plan with a maximum 2-year interval
for electric pump re-conditioning, which includes changing the bearings and the mechanical seals. A six-month control is also
recommended to check the wear of the bearings, the mechanical seals and all other parts subject to wear, as particularly adver-
se or incorrect installation conditions can affect the duration of the service life of all machine parts.
6.3.1 Spare Parts

Requests and/or orders of spare parts used only in explosion-proof ATEX certified pumps will be declined by Zenit as any revision and /or repairs
of these models can only be carried out by Zenit or by an authorised Service Centre.
6.3.2 Cleaning
If the pump is used only occasionally, after each use flush out the hydraulic part to prevent the formation of deposits; run the pump for a few cycles
with clean water.
Also take care not to allow sediments to form on the float switches, to ensure that the start and stop thresholds remain correct.
20
6.3.3 Bearings
The bearings are either rolling, ball or roller, depending on the size of the electro-mechanical unit, and are all sized to last for 50,000 hours of
operation under normal conditions.
6.3.4 Mechanical seals

EN
The estimated duration of safe operation for the mechanical seals is 20,000 hours under normal conditions and 7,000 hours in faulty operating condi-
tions (dry operation or with fluids containing debris), at which point they need to be changed.
6.3.5 Changing the mechanical seal sump oil

Before performing inspections and maintenance, read the safety warnings provided in the relative manual carefully, and comply with them at all
times.
The oil should be changed every 5000-7000 operating hours and in all cases at least once a year.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the electric pump on a smooth and stable surface (the horizontal or vertical position is stated in table 2), and secure it on to stop it from
rolling or swaying;
2. Unscrew the oil sump plugs;
3. Allow the oil to drain out into a suitable container or use an oil aspirator; do not dump spent oil in the environment, but consign it to a specialist
disposal centre.
4. If the oil does not contain water the mechanical seal is still in good condition and new oil can be placed in the system.
A small amount of water is normal since it is caused by condensation and is not due to defects in the mechanical seal.
If there are considerable amounts of water in the oil sump, the mechanical seal must be inspected and replaced with a new one if necessary.
The mechanical seal must be replaced by an Authorised Service Centre;
5. Fill the chamber with CASTROL PRODUCT L 320 or similar oil. The required amount of oil, expressed in litres, is provided in Table 2. If the
recommended oil is not available, contact Zenit.
6.4 Changing the cooling fluid

Models with cooling jackets use a 30% water and propylene glycol mixture as a coolant, which keeps its characteristics constant to a temperature
of -13°C (9°F).
The mixture needs to be replaced in the following cases:
• When the mechanical seals are changed (when the sensor sets off the relative signal).
• Following any repair work that requires the glycols to be drained out.
6.4.1 Procedure to change the cooling liquid
To empty the liquid out of the cooling system, do the following (Fig. 28):
1. Set the electric pump up vertically on a smooth and stable surface;
2. Secure the electric pump by a suitably sized chain or rope hooked onto the top handle, to avoid it from accidentally falling;
3. Set up a suitable tray to collect the coolant liquid contained in the jacket, to avoid uncontrolled spillage into the environment, and make sure it
is disposed of accordingly;
4. Unscrew the top cap;
5. Unscrew the bottom cap, being careful to protect yourself from spillage through the use of personal protection equipment
6. Incline the electric pump until it is completely empty.
