This manual is effective for the AC0 anti-flood protection system
Quatrix-K.
The manual is used for installation, commissioning, operation, main-
tenance, repair and decommissioning. The operator must keep the
manual at a safe place.
Indications on possible standards, test signs, quality symbols and
trademarks are state-of-the-art at the printing date of this manual.
Deviations with illustrations, dimensions and weights are possible.
We reserve the right to carry out amendments and improvements

Date of installation, operating and maintenance manual:
06 February 2008
According to DIN 1986-100, para 7.4, drain points below the backflow
level have to be protected against backflow from the sewers by automa-
tic wastewater lifting plants with backflow loop as per DIN EN 12056-4
or, under certain conditions, by anti-flood protection systems as per
DIN EN 13564-1.
The following criteria have to be met when fitting an anti-flood protec-
tion system:
The wastewater must be capable of draining away along a natural
slope.
There must only be a small number of users.
The drainage point(s) cannot be used during a backflow situation.
Installation must be located in a room with inferior utilisation.
Safety-conscious working
These operating instructions contain fundamental information and pre-
cautionary notes. Please read the manual thoroughly prior to installation
of unit, connection to power supply and commissioning. It is imperative
to comply with all other operation instructions referring to components
of this plant. The mentioned safety notes, the pertinent national acci-
dent prevention regulations as well as possible internal working-, opera-
tion and safety regulations of the user have to be observed. The safety
notes which could lead to danger for people in the case of their non-
observance as well as in the case of warning of electric voltage, are
marked with the general safety marks.
Safety (from: VDMA information sheet 24292)
This operation manual contains basic information which must be
observed during installation, operation and maintenance. Therefore,
this operation manual must be read by the fitter as well as the
competent personnel / user prior to assembly and commissioning
and must always be available at location of plant.
Home owners and developers have to bear the costs of cellar flooding
themselves in the event of sewer backflow because the local authorities
cannot be held liable for such damage. Owners are also liable to their
tenants for any damage caused. The relevant standards therefore stipu-
late that sanitary installations which are located beneath the backflow
level must be protected by lifting plants (active backflow prevention) or
by anti-flood protection systems (passive backflow prevention).
Although it is now possible to take out insurance against such damage,
the insurance companies usually turn down any claims if building regula-
tions have not been implemented or have been incorrectly observed.
The anti-flood protection system is a safety device and must thus be
permanently kept in operable condition. It must be easily accessible at
any time.
Supplements
The operator of the plant must supplement the operating manual
with instructions on existing national regulations for accident preven-
tion and environmental protection.
Besides the operating manual and the binding regulations for acci-
dent prevention valid in the user country and at the point of use, the
approved expert regulations for safe and professional working have
to be observed.

Prior to installation, the plant (flaps, body, electrical units
etc.) has to be checked for transport damages. A da-
maged unit may not be put into operation. In such a case,
please contact us immediately (refer to chapter 1.1).
If the installation and operating manual is infringed upon, damages to
property, personal injuries or fatal accidents cannot be excluded.
The plant may only be operated, maintained and commissioned by per-
sons who are familiar with the operating manual, the instructions con-
tained therein and the pertinent regulations for job safety and accident
prevention.
The ready assembly / electrical installation must be carried out by a
specialist contractor. This company must ensure that relevant DIN and
VDE standards and directives (0100, 0113) as well as regulations of
local power supply utilities are observed and adhered to!
