1- GENERAL
The product is an integrated system composed mainly of a self-priming
multi-stage centrifugal electropump, an electronic control unit that
controls it and an expansion vessel.
Applications
Water systems supply and pressure boosting domestic use or industrial
use.
On the outside the product appears as a parallelepiped that presents 6
faces as shown in Fig.1.

Face F: as indicated by the label to be removed, the 1” cap has a dual
function: in the case of horizontal installation, the outlet that is closed by
the cap acts as the system’s loading door (see below “loading opera-
tions”, par. 2.2.3); in the case of vertical installation, the same outlet can
act as the input hydraulic connection (exactly like the one marked “IN” on
face C and as an alternative to it). The user interface panel is composed
of a display and a keyboard and its function is to set the system, query its
status and communicate any alarms.

grated in the system.
By means of these sensors the system switches on and off automati-
cally according to the utility’s needs and it is able to detect conditions of
malfunction, to prevent and indicate them.

The Inverter control ensures different functions, the most important of
which, for pumping systems, are the maintaining of a constant pressure
value in delivery and energy saving.

and output channels, it is possible to adapt the inverter operation to the
requirements of various systems. See 5-6-7.
1.2 Integrated Expansion Vessel
The system is complete with an integrated expansion vessel with a total
capacity of 2 litres. The main functions of the expansion vessel are:

maintains the pressure in the system for a longer time and
spreads out needless restarts of the system which otherwise
would be continuous;
ZKHQWKHXWLOLW\LVWXUQHGRQHQVXUHWKHZDWHUSUHVVXUHIRUWKH
seconds that the system takes to switch on and reach the correct
rotation speed.
It is not a function of the integrated expansion vessel to ensure a water
reserve such as to reduce interventions of the system (requests from the
utility, not from a leak in the system). It is possible to add an expansion
vessel with the capacity you prefer to the system, connecting it to a point
on the delivery system (not a suction point!). In the case of horizontal
installation it is possible to connect to the unused delivery outlet. When
choosing the tank, consider that the quantity of water released will also
depend on the parameters SP and RP that can be set on the system
(par.6-7).
The expansion vessel is preloaded with pressurised air through the valve
accessible from the technical compartment (Fig.3, point 1). The preload
value with which the expansion vessel is supplied by the manufacturer is
in agreement with the parameters SP and RP set as default, and anyway
LWVDWLV¿HVWKHIROORZLQJHTXDWLRQ
Pair = SP – RP – 0.7bar Where:
- Pair = air pressure value in bar
- SP = Set Point (par.7.3) in bar
- RP = Reduction of pressure to restart
(par. 7.5.1) in bar
So, by the manufacturer: Pair = 3.0 – 0.3 – 0.7 = 2.0 bar
If different values are set for the parameters SP and/or RP, regulate the
valve of the expansion vessel releasing or letting in air until the above
HTXDWLRQLVVDWLV¿HGDJDLQHJ63 EDU53 EDUUHOHDVHDLUIURP
the expansion vessel until a pressure of 1.5bar is reached on the valve).
Failure to respect the above equation may lead to malfunctions
of the system or to premature breakage of the diaphragm inside
the expansion vessel.
Considering the expansion vessel capacity of only 2 litres, any
operation to check the air pressure must be performed by con-
necting the pressure gauge very rapidly: on small volumes the
loss of even a limited quantity of air can cause an appreciable
drop in pressure. The quality of the expansion vessel ensures
the maintenance of the set air pressure value, proceed to check
it only at calibration or if you are sure of a malfunction.
Any operation to check and/or reset the air pressure must
be performed with the delivery system not under pressure:
disconnect the pump from the power supply and open the utility
nearest to the pump, keeping it open until it no longer gives any
water.
The special structure of the expansion vessel ensures its quan-
tity and duration over time, especially of the diaphragm which
is typically the component subject to wear for items of this type.
However, in the case of breakage, the entire expansion vessel
must be replaced and exclusively by authorised personnel.

cally, the electropump comprises a hydraulic assembly of 5 impellers
driven by a water-cooled three-phase electric motor. Cooling of the motor
with water rather than air ensures less noise in the system and the pos-
sibility of locating it even in recesses without ventilation.
The graph in Fig.6 shows in red the characteristic curve of the hydraulic
performance of the electropump at maximum rotation speed (pump not
controlled by the inverter). This gives:

The same graph in Fig.6 shows in green other characteristic curves
corresponding to reduced rotation speeds of the same electropump. By
automatically modulating the rotation speed of the electropump, the in-
verter allows it to move its operation from one of the characteristic curves
to another, maintaining the constant set pressure value (SP). Practically,
the resulting curve of the system controlled by the inverter becomes the
one shown in Fig.7 (considering a default SP value = 3.0 bar).
This means that, with SP = 3.0 bar, the system is able to ensure the

2- INSTALLATION
The system is designed for indoor use: do not install the system
outdoors and/or directly exposed to atmospheric agents.
The system is designed to be able to work in environments
where the temperature remains between 0°C and 50°C (on
condition that the electric power supply is ensured: see par.
7.7.7 “anti-freeze function”).
The system is suitable for treating drinking water.
The system cannot be used to pump salt water, sewage,
LQÀDPPDEOHFRUURVLYHRUH[SORVLYHOLTXLGVHJSHWUROHXP
petrol, thinners), greases, oils or food products.
The system can take in water the level of which must not be at
a depth greater than 8m (the height between the water level
and the pump suction mouth).
If the system is used for the domestic water supply, respect the
local regulations of the authorities responsible for the manage-
ment of water resources.
When choosing the installation site, check that:

The pressure at pump input must not be higher than 2 bar.
The suction depth must not exceed 8 m.
3.1 - Electrical Connections
To improve immunity to the possible noise radiated towards other appli-
ances it is recommended to use a separate electrical duct to supply the
product.
Attention: always respect the safety regulations!
Electrical installation must be carried out by an expert, autho-
rised electrician, who takes on all responsibility.
The system must be correctly and safely earthed as required by
the regulations in force.
The line voltage may change when the electropump is started.
The line voltage may undergo variations depending on other
devices connected to it and on the quality of the line.

Depending on the type of error the motor may stop, but when normal
conditions are restored the error status may be cancelled immediately or
only after a certain time, following an automatic reset.
In the case of blockage due to water lack (BL), blockage due to motor
overload (OC), blockage, blockage due to direct short circuit between
the motor phases (SC), you can try to exit the error conditions manually
by simultaneously pressing and releasing the + and – keys. If the error

If there are leaks in the delivery section of the plant, the system starts
and stops cyclically even if no water is intentionally being drawn: even
just a slight leak (a few ml) can cause a fall in pressure which in turn
starts the electropump.
The electronic control of the system is able to detect the presence of the
leak, based on its recurrence.
The Anti-Cycling function can be excluded or activated in Basic or Smart
mode (par 7.7.5).
In Basic mode, once the condition of recurrence is detected the pump
stops and remains waiting to be manually reset. This condition is commu-
nicated to the user by the lighting of the red “Alarm” led and the appear-
ance of the word “ANTICYCLING” on the display. After the leak has been
removed, you can manually force restart by simultaneously pressing and
releasing the “+” and “-“ keys.
In Smart mode, once the leak condition is detected, the parameter RP is
increased to decrease the number of starts over time.
4.1.3 - Anti-Freeze (Protection against freezing of water in the sys-
tem)
The change of state of water from liquid to solid involves an increase
in volume. It is therefore essential to ensure that the system does not
remain full of water with temperatures close to freezing point, to avoid
breakages of the system. This is the reason why it is recommended to
empty any electropump that is going to remain unused during the winter.
However, this system has a protection that prevents ice formation inside
by activating the electropump when the temperature falls to values close
to freezing point. In this way the water inside is heated and freezing
prevented.
The Anti-Freeze protection works only if the system is regularly
fed: with the plug disconnected or in the absence of current the
protection cannot work.
However, it is advised not to leave the system full during long
periods of inactivity: drain the system accurately through the
drainage cap (Fig.1 Face E) and put it away in a sheltered place.
4.1.4 - “BP1” Blockage due to fault of the internal pressure sensor
If the device detects a fault in the pressure sensor the pump remains
blocked and the error signal “BP1” is given. This status begins as soon as
the problem is detected and ends automatically when correct conditions
have been restored.
4.1.5 - “BP2” Blockage due to reading error on the remote pressure
sensor
BP2 indicates a warning on the remote pressure sensor connected to the
I/O control unit.

voltage at the terminal returns within the allowed values.
4.1.7 - “SC” Blockage due to short circuit between the motor phases
The device is provided with protection against the direct short circuit
which may occur between the motor phases. When this blockage is
indicated you can attempt to restore operation by simultaneously holding
down the + and – keys, but this will not have any effect until 10 seconds
have passed since the moment the short circuit occurred.
4.2 - Manual reset of error conditions
In error status, the user can cancel the error by forcing a new attempt,
pressing and then releasing the + and – keys.
