INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP
IMPORTANT: The pump MUST NOT be connected to the mains power supply
until all hose/pipe installations are completed.
LOCATION
Install the pump in a horizontal position i.e. with the outlet connection facing
vertically upwards. Mount the pump on blocks or a purpose built platform to
protect it from flooding.
Ensure there is adequate air circulation around the motor. The pump should
be installed in a dry, well ventilated enclosure, sheltered from rain and with an
environment temperature not higher than 40°C.
The pump is provided with rubber feet (7), and the plastic covers must be
prised off to insert the holding down bolts for fixed installations.
Always place the pump as close as possible to the water to be pumped but
be positioned so as to avoid the possibility of immersion. The power supply
should also be a safe distance away. If in doubt, please contact your
electrician and refer to national regulations.
Avoid locating the pump where it could become drenched with water as it is
not designed to be totally waterproof.
Ensure the pump & its power cable do not create a safety hazard for people
walking past it. The length of the power cable on the pump limits the distance
from the power source. If an extension cable is required, ensure it is
compatable with the cable supplied.
CONNECTIONS AND HOSES
To prevent unnecessary strain ensure that adequate support is provided to the
hoses and pipes. They will be considerably heavier when filled with water.
Always use a pipe diameter at least equal to, or greater than, the diameter of
the pump connections.
For suction depths of over four metres or with long horizontal stretches. Use an
intake hose with a diameter larger than that of the intake aperture of the
pump.
To prevent the formation of air pockets, the inlet hose must slope slightly
upwards towards the pump.
If the suction pipe is made of a flexible material always check that it is of the
reinforced vacuum-resistant type to avoid collapse due to suction.

In case of a fixed installation, it is
recommended that you fit a non-
return valve on both sides of the
pump. This allows closure of the line
upstream and/or downstream from
the pump, useful for service and
cleaning operations or for periods in
which the pump is not in use.
To capture small particles in
suspension an inlet filter should be
fitted on the suction pipe to protect
the integrated filter (1).
SUCTION LIFT OR GRAVITY FEED
SUCTION LIFT
It is possible to draw water up from a
sunken pool or well.
• The vertical distance between
the foot valve and the pump
should not exceed 8 metres.
It is essential that all connections and
hoses are completely air tight,
otherwise the system will not work.
GRAVITY FEED
The pump can draw water from an
above ground tank.
A foot valve/filter should be fitted to
the end of the suction hose, (as
illustrated), to help retain water in the
suction system.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply
through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug or a suitably fused isolator switch.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or
because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following
the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely, as
insertion into a power socket could cause an electrical hazard.
The colours of the wires in
the power cable must
agree with the markings on
the plug.
• Connect the BLUE wire
to the terminal
marked N.
• Connect the BROWN
wire to the terminal
marked L.
• Connect the YELLOW
AND GREEN wire to the terminal marked E or .
AN APPROVED RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) WHICH HAS A TRIPPING
CURRENT OF LESS THAN 30 mA MUST BE USED.
If you are not sure, consult a qualified electrician.
WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY.

USING THE MODE SELECTION BUTTON (B)
1. To unlock the choice of functions press “MODE” button for 5 seconds.
2. Press “MODE” to scroll through the various operating modes or parameters
to be modified or to enable certain functions.
• While scrolling through the modes, the LED of the function selected
will flash.
• On returning to AUTO_MODE the active functions will be highlighted
by the relative LED lighting up.
THE OPTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1) AUTO MODE: the pump will run in automatic mode see page 12.
2) MANUAL MODE: the pump works in manual mode see page 12, and the
user can decide when to switch it on or off by using the “SET” button. SET-ON
switched On / SET-OFF switched Off.
3) ANTI-LEAKAGE: This function is for protection against leakage and can be
enabled or disabled. The factory setting is disabled.
When enabled, if the pump is started up more than 6 times in 2 minutes, it will
be stopped and the error will be indicated by means of the red LED flashing
slowly on “ALARM”.
To enable ANTI-LEAKAGE, press “MODE” until the LED flashes, then press SET
until the “ON” LED is lit up. To disable ANTI-LEAKAGE press SET until the LED
indicates OFF.
Once the leak is repaired, reset the alarm, if still present, see alarm reset on
page 12.
4) CUT-IN: This is the pressure setting (always enabled) at which the pump is
activated. It can be set between 1.5 and 3.0 bar, (factory setting 1.8 bar). The
pump is activated even if the flow is less than a minimum value of 1.5 l/min,
(factory-setting).
5) CUT-OUT: This is the pressure setting (disabled) above which the pump stops.
This is a factory setting for “CUT-IN” + 1 LED, but can be increased to 6 bar.
To enable CUT OUT press “MODE” until the LED corresponding to CUT-OUT
flashes then press SET to select the required value. Exit the setting by pressing
“MODE”. To disable the function, press “SET” until the LED indicates OFF.
