2.1 Areas of applicationThe Pumpfix® F is designed to be installedin a downward sloped, vented, continousrun drainage pipe. In this application thePumpfix® F will provide through drainageduring normal conditions, protection againstbackwater during times of backwater andthe drainage of connected plumbing fixtureseven during times of backwater. When afixture plumbed into the Pumpfix® F isdrained during times of backwater, thePumpfix® F will intake the wastewater,macerate any solids with its cutting pumpand pump out the waste against thepressure of the backwater.

Important:A requirement for trouble free operation isthat the Pumpfix® F is installed in a pipe withproper slope and ventilation.2.2 Contents of deliveryThe Pumpfix® F package includes the valveitself (with pump and backwater flap) and acontrol unit. Included with the splash proofcontrol unit (230V - 50 Hz) is the opticalprobe and Installation and Userʼs Manual.

2.3 When to install the Pumpfix® FIf the Pumpfix® F is being installed duringthe construction phase of a building only the

body of the valve with cover and pumpshould be installed (the optical probe andcontrol unit should not be connnected)(Chapter 3). During this time make sure tostore the electrical components in a cleanand dry place. When the heavy constructionphase of the building is complete the opticalprobe should be installed in the cover of thevalve, the control unit mounted on a nearbywall and all necessary electricalconnections made. This will help preventdamage to the mechanical and electricalequipment of the Pumpfix® F during theconstruction phase.

3. Installation

Please take caution that:The drainage pipe to which the Pumpfix® Fis connected is laid at the slope required bythe local governing code and that the inletpipe to the Pumpfix® F is properly vented. Itis recommended that all plumbing fixtures

above the backwater level be connecteddownstream of the Pumpfix® F since thesefixtures do not need to be protected againstbackwater. Only fixtures below the backwaterlevel should be plumbed through thePumpfix® F.

6. Operation6.1 Principle Functions

1. Normal operation 2. Backwater operation3. Wastewater disposal during

backwater

As backwater occurs, the free hanging flapis forced closed due to the pressure of thebackwater and provides a complete sealagainst the back-up of wastewater into all ofthe Pumpfix® F protected areas.

During times of backwater the Pumpfix® F pro-tects a building against the back-up of waste-water while at the same time disposing of itswaste. This is possible because of an opticalsensor and integrated sewage pump locatedwithin the Pumpfix® F. As a buildingʼs plumbingfixtures are drained during times of backwaterthe wastewater level rises inside the piping sy-stem and the Pumpfix® F. This is sensed by theoptical probe which activates the cutting pump.The pump intakes the wastewater, maceratesthe solids and pumps against the pressure ofthe backwater. The integrated free hanging flapprevents the grey water or sewage from flowingback into the building.

During normal conditions the Pumpfix® Ffunctions as a standard backwater valve asshown in the ʻNormal Operationʼ illustrationabove. The force of the free flowing waste-water pushes the free hanging flap open andallows the waste water to pass unhinderedto a public sewer line or a private sewagesystem.

6.2 Custom Pump SettingsThe Pumpfix® F is delivered pre program-med so that it can be installed and usedeffectively without setting any of the custompump settings. The pre programmed settingwill handle all drainage and backwaterscenarios. However, customized pumpsettings can be programmed if adjusting thesettings of the Pumpfix® F can increaseperformance and longevity.

Programming the Pumpfix® FFor programming the Pumpfix® F use theLED numbers as identified belowLED 1 : ʻPOWERʼ LEDLED 2 : ʻALARMʼ LEDLED 3 : ʻPROBE SUBMERGEDʼ LEDLED 4 : ʻPUMPING / TEST PUMPʼ LED

Setting the pumping times.The Pumpfix® F can be programmed toadjust how long the pump runs. This is doneby keeping both the ʻALARMʼ and ʻPUM-PING / TEST PUMPʼ buttons pressed for afew seconds until the continuous alarm tonesounds. After releasing the ʻALARMʼ andʻPUMPING / TEST PUMPʼ buttons thecurrent pump time setting can be determinedby the blinking LEDs (please see tablebelow). The length of pumping time can nowbe programmed. To change the pumpingtimes press the ʻALARMʼ button. Each timethe ʻALARMʼ button is pressed, 5 secondswill be added to the pumping time. Thenewly enterred times can be determined byone or two blinking LEDs and checking withthe table below. When the desired pumpingtime has been enterred press the ʻPUM-PING / TEST PUMPʼ button to save the newsetting. The new pumping time changes willbe confirmed by a two toned audible signal.

If within 20 seconds the changes are notsaved by pressing the ʻPUMPING / TESTPUMP ̓button, the Pumpfix® F will automaticallysave the previous pumping time (this will beconfirmed by a single tone audible signal).The Pumpfix® F is delivered pre-program-med with a pumping time of 10 seconds.

6. OperationSetting the ʻPump start delayʼ times.The Pumpfix® F can be programmed todelay starting the pump after the optical sen-sor has sensed wastewater. The advantageof this is that the wastewater will have achance to build up in the pipe so that thePumpfix® F can pump out the entire volumewith one activation rather than turning onand off several times. To change the ʻPumpstart delayʼ times keep both the ʻALARMʼand ̒PUMPING / TEST PUMPʼ buttons pres-sed for a few seconds until the continuousaudible alarm sounds. Release the ̒ALARMand ʻPUMPING / TEST PUMPʼ buttons.Now again press both the ʻALARMʼ andʻPUMPING / TEST PUMPʼ buttons for a fewseconds until the continous audible alarmsounds again and the ̒ POWERʼ and ̒ ALAR-Mʼ LEDs light. After releasing the ʻALARMʼand ʻPUMPING / TEST PUMPʼbuttons the current pump start delay timesetting can be determined by the blinkingLEDs (please see table below). To change

the pump start delay times press the ̒ ALAR-Mʼ button. Each time the ʻALARMʼbutton is pressed, additional time will beadded to the pump start delay time. Theenterred times can be determined by lookingat the blinking LEDs and checking with thetable below. When the desired pump startdelay time has been enterred press theʻPUMPING / TEST PUMPʼ button to save thenew setting. The new ʻPump start delayʼtimes will be confirmed by a two tonedaudible signal. If within 20 seconds thechanges are not saved by pressing theʻPUMPING / TEST PUMPʼ button, thePumpfix® F will automatically save theprevious ʻPump start delayʼ (this will beconfirmed by a single tone audible signal).The Pumpfix® F is delivered pre-programmedwith a pump start delay time of 1 second.

Setting to either ʻFinish Controlledʼ or ʻStartControlledʼ modes.

The Pumpfix® F can be programmed tooperate in either ʻFinish Controlledʼ or ʻStartControlledʼ modes. In the Finish Controlledpump setting mode, the optical probesenses the build-up of wastewater in thedrainage pipe and activates the Pumpfix® Fwhich will begin pumping after the program-med delay start time has elapsed. In thismode the pump will continue to run for theprogrammed period of time after thewastewater level has fallen below the opticalsensor level. In the Start Controlled pumpsetting mode, the optical probe senses thebuild-up of wastewater in the drainage pipeand activates the Pumpfix® F which willbegin pumping after the programmed delaystart time has elapsed. In this mode thepump will run for the programmed period oftime and then shut off. If there is still waste-water above the sensor level the pump will

8. Additional functions8.1 Self Diagnosis System (SDS)As part of the SDS Control unit, thePumpfix® F automatically tests its pumpingsystem once per month. As part of this selftest, the pump will run for two seconds. If thePumpfix® F detects any problems with itsoperation during this monthly test, it willdisplay the problem on the control unit asdescribed in Chapter 7. This is an importantreason that the Pumpfix® F always beunplugged before maintaining or inspectingthe unit. With the Pumpfix® F unpluggedthere is no risk of unintended activation ofthe pump.

8.2 Battery life and replacementWhile the Pumpfix® F is connected to asuitable power supply, the unit continuous-ly checks the condition of the two batteries.If at time of initialization the batteries holdunder 12.5 Volts total power, the Pumpfix®

F will not initialize itself. In this case, unplugthe Pumpfix® F control unit from its powersource, check and replace the batteries ifnecessary and then reconnect the control

unit to its power source. The estimated lifeof new batteries is four years. Batteriescertified for use with the KESSEL Pumpfix®

F are Duracell 9 Volt Type MN 1604/6LR61(Requirement - 2). If discarding batteries,please do so properly.

8.3 Battery functionThe purpose of the batteries is to notify theuser of a power failure by LED and audiblealarm notification. Although during a powerfailure the Pumpfix® F will continue to provi-de protection against backwater due to itsfree hanging backwater flap, the pump ofthe Pumpfix® F will not operate.

Please note: The auxiliary device iscertified for up to 42 Volts / 0.5 A.
