MODULEX SOLAR UPMS
The ANTARES MODULEX SOLAR UPMS circulation pump is an intelligent frequency conversion
circulator with integrated electronic differential pressure control, with the possibility of setting the
regulation module and the head (differential pressure). The differential pressure is controlled by
the pump numbers of revolutions. The motor stator is fully shielded and the rotating parts are
immersed in clean water, playing an important role in cooling and in lubrication whilst functioning.
The shielding sleeve of the electric pump adopts a thin-walled structure to completely shield the
internal stator from water in the engine; the traditional mechanical seal structure is eliminated and
the problem of water leakage of the conventional pump is solved. The rotating parts consist of
ceramic bearings and ceramic rotating shafts, wear resistant and lubricated with clean water, which
cool the engine and reduce its noise. The pump will not overload during full operation performance.
It can be generally maintenance free as long as used correctly.

3 - Precautions
3.1. - The power supply voltage of the electric pump is single-phase 220-240V and the frequency
is 50/60Hz.
3.2. - Make sure that the pipe system is firmly connected before installation and check that
impurities, welding scraps and waste have been removed from inside the pipes. Before
installation in an old system, wash it to remove any sludge present with crystallization of
salts and substances present in the circulating liquid.
3.3. - Make sure the pump is in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid short circuits due to
moisture or splashes in the body and ensure its accessibility for service and replacement.
3.4. - For outdoor installations, provide protection to prevent splashing. Warning: do not install in
the bathroom to prevent steam, water or moisture from entering the electrical box
3.5. - It is highly recommended to install shut-off valves before and after the pump for the next
service and maintenance of the pump.
3.6. - After completing the installation of the pump, connect the power supply as a test and set the
speed adjustment setting to the maximum level to verify that it is starting properly.
NOTE: the test run time cannot be longer then 10 seconds to avoid wearing the life-span of
pads.
3.7. - Do not touch the pump and/or the pipes when supplying water to the heating system to
avoid getting burned.
3.8. - The power supply must be strictly earthed.
3.9. - Safety warnings concerning the pump must be observed during pump operation
to avoid any accident.
3.10. - The power supply must be disconnected before positioning the pump and/or before any
electrical action to the pump to avoid accidents.
3.11. - Check the pump regularly and replace it promptly in case of damage.
3.12. -
The power supply cable may only be replaced with matching cables or specific components.
3.13. - In winter, when the room temperature is below 0°C, the water in the system must be
completely drained, if it is not in use.
3.14. - It is not possible to refill the system frequently with non-distilled water to avoid
sludge formation over time.

Make sure that the grounding connection (yellow/green)
is effective. Connect the power connector to the socket of
the pump control box (Fig. 3 - 4 and 5).
Cut with scissors
Shorten the cable coming from

●If The socket of the new circulator does not match the plug of the old one, put an electric coversion adapter on the
plug of the old cable and on the plug of the new circulator. See the adapters in the ANTARES catalogue of sockets for
Grundfos (our art. P.160.01) circulators or Wilo (our art. P.161.01).
OTHERWISE
●Cut off the connector end (plug) of the circulator to be replaced, shorten the cable coming from the electrical box of the
boiler so that it is of adequate length and strip the wires of the cable to connect them to the cable of the new connector
through terminals (see figure below):
Note: Make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with neither the pipes nor with the pump.

4.6.3 - PWM controller cable connection - Fig. 3-5
4.6.4 - Cable connection of the PWM Controller when replacing existing faulty circulators
with different connector or without PWM connection
Disconnect the power supply. Make the wite connections of the supplied connecting cable by observing the arrangement of
the terminals and wire reference color for connection.
Connect the PWM connector plug to the socket of the pump control box (Fig. 3 and 5).
Connect the system voltage.
ATTENTION: connecting the mains voltage (230 Vac) to the communication pins (PWM) destroys the product. On the PWM
input, the maximum voltage level corresponds to 24 V pulsed input voltage.
●If the boiler does not have the connection to the PWM controller, it is not necessary to make the connection, but select
the circulator in the most suitable working function or in the Autoadapt position. The circulator will automatically
adapt to the system requirements.
●If the socket of the new circulator does not match the plug of the old
one, insert an electrical conversion adapter on the plug of the old
cable and that of the new circulator. See in the ANTARES catalogue
gli socket adapters for Grundfos circulators (our art. P.163.01) or Wilo
(our art. P.164.01).
OTHERWISE
●Cut the end of the connector (plug) of the circulator to be replaced, shorten the cable coming from the electrical box
of the boiler so that it is of adequate length and strip the wires of the cable to connect them to the cable of the new
connector through the wiring terminals (see figure below):

Recommended in case of heating systems with delivery
and return pipes with radiators, for the reduction of flow
noise on thermostatic valves and zone sections.
The pump halves the delivery in case of flow reduction in
the pipeline network (radiators or closed areas). Electrical
energy is saved by adapting the delivery to the required
flow rate and reduced flow speed. Three predefined
characteristic curves including (I, II, III) according to
choice.
Recommended in case of radiant panels (floor systems) or
large pipes and for all applications without variable system
characteristic curves, (e.g. circulation in accumulators or
heaters) and single-pipe heating systems with radiators.
The regulation maintains the set delivery regardless of the
conveyed flow rate.Three predefined characteristic curves
including (I, II, III) according to choice.
Recommended for systems with steady resistance that
require a constant flow rate.
The pump operates in three stages corresponding to
numbers of preset fixed laps (I, II, III).

5.4.1 PWM2 input signal (solar systems)
With a low percentage of PWM signal (duty cycles), a hysteresis prevents the circulation
pump from starting and stopping if the input signal oscillates around the change point.
Without PWM signal percentage, the circulation pump will stop for safety reasons. If a signal
is missing, e.g. due to a break in the cable, the circulator will stop preventing overheating.

The pump speed is controlled according to the signal PWM input
signal, when connected.
In PWM mode, the rotation speed of the pump is regulated acording
to the input signal (PWM).
If there is no PWM signal or cable is not connected, the pump
operation is controlled by internal logic.

At high PWM signal rates (duty cycles), a hysteresis prevents the circulation pump from

signal rates the speed of the circulation pump is high for safety reasons. In the event of
cable breakage in a system with a gas boiler, the circulation pump will continue to run at
