RESPONSIBILITY
The Manufacturer does not vouch for correct operation of
the electropumps or answer for any damage that they may
cause if they have been tampered with, modied and/or run
outside the recommended work range or in contrast with
other indications given in this manual.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for possible er-
rors in this instructions manual, if due to misprints or errors
in copying. The Manufacturer reserves the right to make any
modications to products that it may consider necessary
or useful, without affecting their essential characteristics.
1- GENERAL
The product is an integrated system composed mainly of a self-priming
multi-stage centrifugal electropump, an electronic circuit 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 A: a door allows access to the Technical Compartment. The door can
be removed by inserting 2 ngers in the rubber grips, squeezing and rotat-
ing the door around the hinges on the side opposite the grips (see Fig.2).
To put the door back in place, insert the hinges in their slots and close the
door until it clicks.
Inside the technical compartment you can access (see Fig.3):
1. Valve of the expansion vessel;
2. Technical data plate;
3. Rapid Guide;
4. Motor shaft;
5. Accessory tool;
6. Filling cap (only for vertical
conguration)
Face B: a removable screw cap gives access to the non return valve (see
par. 10.3). Remove it only in the case of maintenance by skilled personnel.
Face C: the 4 brass threads form the seat for the 4 support feet in the case
of vertical installation. The two 1” screw caps can be removed to make the
connections towards the system, depending on the installation congura-
tion you want to adopt. If applicable, connect to the connection marked
“IN” the system from which you want to draw water (well, cistern,…) and
connect the delivery system to the connection marked “OUT”. There is also
a ventilation grid.
Face D: removing the 1” cap allows access to a second delivery connec-
tion which can be used at the same time or alternatively to the one marked

”OUT” of face C. The power supply cable is for connection to the power
mains.
Face E: the 4 brass threads form the seat for the 4 support feet in the case
of horizontal installation. The 1” cap has the main function of emptying the
system. There are also 2 ventilation grids.
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 operations”,
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 dis-
play and a keyboard and its function is to set the system, query its status
and communicate any alarms.
The system can be installed in 2 different congurations: horizontal (Fig.4)
or vertical (Fig.5).
1.1 Description of the Integrated Inverter
The electronic control integrated in the system is of the type with inverter
and it makes use of ow, pressure and temperature sensors, also integrat-
ed in the system.
By means of these sensors the system switches on and off automatically
according to the utility’s needs and it is able to detect conditions of mal-
function, to prevent and indicate them.
Figure 4
Figure 5
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.
• The inverter is able to keep the pressure of a hydraulic circuit con-
stant by varying the rotation speed of the electropump. In oper-
ation without an inverter the electropump is unable to modulate
and, when there is an increase of the request for ow, the pressure
necessarily decreases, or vice versa; this means the pressures
are too high at low ow rates or too low when there is an increased
request for ow.
• By varying the rotation speed according to the instantaneous re-
quest of the utility, the inverter limits the power supplied to the
electropump to the minimum necessary to ensure that the request
is satised. Instead, operation without an inverter contemplates
operation of the electropump always and only at maximum power.
The system is congured by the manufacturer to satisfy the majority of
installation cases, that is:
• Operation at constant pressure;
• Set-Point (desired value of constant pressure:SP = 3.0 bar
• Reduction of pressure to restart: RP = 0.3 bar
• Anti-cycling function: Disabled
However, these parameters and others can be set according to the sys-
tem. All the settable values are illustrated in the par. 5-6-7: pressure, inter-
vention of protections, rotation speed, etc.
There are many other operating modes and accessory functions. Thanks
to the different possible settings and the availability of congurable input
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:

ENGLISH
GB
63
• to make the system elastic so as to protect it against water ham-
mer;
• to ensure a water reserve which, in the case of small leaks, main-
tains the pressure in the system for a longer time and spreads out
needless restarts of the system which otherwise would be contin-
uous;
• when the utility is turned on, ensure the water pressure for the
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 re-
serve such as to reduce interventions of the system (requests from the util-
ity, 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
it satises the following equation:
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
equation is satised again (e.g.: SP=2.0bar; RP=0.3bar; release air from
the expansion vessel until a pressure of 1.0 bar 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 per-
formed 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.
1.3 Integrated electropump
The system has a built-in centrifugal electropump of the multi-impeller type
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 possi-
bility of locating it even in recesses without ventilation.
The diagram in Fig. 6 shows the curves of the hydraulic performance for
e.sybox (blue curve) and e.sybox 30/50 (green curve). By automatically
modulating the rotation speed of the electropump, the inverter allows it to
shift its work point according to necessities to any part of the area subtend-
ed by its curve, to keep the set pressure valve constant (SP). The red curve
shows the behaviour of the e.sybox with set point at 3.0 bar.

ENGLISH
64
GB
It results that, with SP = 3.0 bar, the system is able to ensure a constant
pressure at the users that require ow rates respectively between 0 and
85 litres/minute for e.sybox and between 0 and to for e.sybox 30/50. For
higher ow rates the system works according to the characteristic curve of
the electropump at maximum rotation speed. For ow rates lower than the
limits described above, as well as ensuring constant pressure, the system
reduces the absorbed power and therefore the energy consumption.
The above performances are to be considered measured at am-
bient temperature and water at about 20°C, during the rst 10
minutes of motor operation, with water level at suction at a depth
of no more than 1 metre
As the suction depth increases, the performance of the electro-
pump decreases.

The system is designed to be able to work in environments
where the temperature remains between 0°C and 50°C (on con-
dition that the electric power supply is ensured: see par. 7.6.14
“anti-freeze function”).
The system is suitable for treating drinking water.
The system cannot be used to pump salt water, sewage, inam-
mable, corrosive or explosive liquids (e.g. petroleum, petrol, thin-
ners), greases, oils or food products.
The system can take in water the level of which must not be at a
depth greater than 8m for e.sybox and 7 m for e.sybox 30/50(the
height between the water level and the pump suction mouth).
Do not connect any pipe to the 1¼’’ mouth that houses the
non-return valve, see g. 27.
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 voltage and frequency on the pump’s technical data plate
correspond to the values of the power supply system.
• The electrical connection is made in a dry place, far from any
possible ooding.
• The electrical system is provvided with a differential switch
with I Δn ≤ 30 mA and that the earth system is efcient.
If you are not sure of the absence of foreign bodies in the water to be
pumped, install a lter on the system intake that is suitable for catching
impurities.
The installation of a lter on intake causes a decrease of the
system’s hydraulic performance proportional to the loss of load
caused by the lter itself (generally the greater the ltering power,
the greater the fall in performance).
Choose the type of conguration you intend to use (vertical or horizontal)
considering the connections to the system, the position of the user inter-
face panel, and the spaces available according to the indications below.
Other types of installation conguration are possible using DAB accessory
interfaces: see dedicated paragraph (par.9.2, 9.3).
2.1 - Vertical Conguration
Remove the 4 support feet from the bottom tray of the packaging and
screw them fully into their brass seats on face C. Put the system in place,
taking into account the dimensions in Fig.7.
• The distance of at least 10mm between Face E of the system
and any wall is obligatory to ensure ventilation through the grids
provided.
• The distance of at least 270mm between Face B of the system
and an obstruction is recommended so as to be able to carry out
maintenance on the non-return valve without disconnecting the
system.
• The distance of at least 200mm between Face A of the system
and an obstruction is recommended so as to be able to remove
the door and gain access to the technical compartment.

If the surface is not at, unscrew the foot that is not touching and adjust
its height until it contacts the surface so as to ensure the stability of the
system. The system must in fact be placed in a safe and stable position,
ensuring that its axis is vertical: it must not be in an inclined position.
2.1.1 Hydraulic connections
Make the connection at input to the system through the mouth on Face F
marked “IN” in Fig.7 (suction connection). Then remove the respective cap
with the aid of the accessory tool or with a screwdriver.
Make the connection at output from the system through the mouth on Face
F marked “OUT” in Fig.8 (delivery connection). Then remove the respec-
tive cap with the aid of the accessory tool or with a screwdriver.
All the hydraulic connections of the system to the plant to which it can be
connected are of the threaded female type 1” GAS, made of brass.
If you intend to connect the product to the plant with ttings that
have a diameter larger than the normal 1” pipe (for example the
ring nut in the case of ttings in 3 pieces), make sure that the 1”
Gas male thread of the coupling protrudes at least 25mm from
the above diameter (see Fig.8)
With reference to its position with respect to the water to be pumped, the
installation of the system may be dened “above head” or “below head”. In
particular the installation is dened “above head” when the pump is placed
at a level higher than the water to be pumped (e.g. pump on the surface
and water in a well); vice versa it is “below head” when the pump is placed
at a level lower than the water to be pumped (e.g. overhead cistern and
pump below).
< 25 mm > 25 mm
Figure 8
If the vertical installation of the system is of the “over head” type,
it is recommended to t a non-return valve in the suction section
of the system; this is to allow the operation of loading the system
(par. 2.1.2).
If the installation is of the “over head” type, install the suction pipe
from the water source to the pump in such a way as to avoid the
formation of goosenecks or siphons. Do not place the suction
pipe above the pump level (to avoid the formation of air bubbles
in the suction pipe). The suction pipe must draw at its entrance
at a depth of at least 30cm below the water level and must be
watertight along its whole length, as far as the entrance to the
electropump.
The suction and delivery pipes must be tted so that they do not
exert any mechanical pressure on the pump.
2.1.2 Loading Operation
Installation above head and below head
Installation “above head” (par. 2.1.1): access the technical compartment
and, with the aid of the accessory tool (Fig.3_point 5) or with a screwdriv-
er, remove the lling cap (Fig.3_point 6). Fill the system with clean water
through the loading door, taking care to let the air out. If the non-return
valve on the suction pipe (recommended in paragraph 2.1.1) has been
placed close to the system entry door, the quantity of water with which to
ll the system should be 2.2 litres. It is recommended to t the non-return
valve at the end of the suction pipe (foot valve) so as to be able to ll it
quickly too during the loading operation. In this case the quantity of water
necessary for the loading operation will depend on the length of the suction
pipe (2.2 litres + …).
Installation “below head” (par. 2.1.1): if there are no check valves between
the water deposit and the system (or if they are open), it loads automati-

door as soon as the water comes out (however it is recommended to t a
check valve in the section of the suction pipe and to use it to control the
loading operation with the cap open). Alternatively, in the case where the
suction pipe is intercepted by a closed valve, the loading operation may be
carried out in a similar way to the one described for installation over head.
2.2 - Horizontal Conguration
Remove the 4 support feet from the bottom tray of the packaging and
screw them fully into their brass seats on face E. Put the system in place,
taking into account the dimensions in Fig.9.
• The distance of at least 270mm between Face B of the system
and an obstruction is recommended so as to be able to carry out
maintenance on the non-return valve without disconnecting the
system.
• The distance of at least 200mm between Face A of the system
and an obstruction is recommended so as to be able to remove
the door and gain access to the technical compartment.
• The distance of at least 10mm between Face D of the system
and an obstruction is obligatory to let out the power supply cable.
If the surface is not at, unscrew the foot that is not touching and adjust
its height until it contacts the surface so as to ensure the stability of the

system. The system must in fact be placed in a safe and stable position,
ensuring that its axis is vertical: it must not be in an inclined position.
2.2.1 Hydraulic connections
Make the connection at input to the system through the mouth on Face C
marked “IN” in Fig.9 (suction connection). Then remove the respective cap with
the aid of the accessory tool or with a screwdriver.
Make the connection at output from the system through the mouth on Face C
marked “OUT 1” in Fig.9 and/or through the mouth on Face D marked “OUT
2” in Fig.9 (delivery connection). In this conguration either of the 2 mouths can
be used as an alternative to the other (depending on the convenience of the
installation), or simultaneously (dual delivery system). So remove the cap(s)
from the door(s) you intend to use with the aid of the accessory tool or with a
screwdriver.
All the hydraulic connections of the system to the plant to which it can be con-
nected are of the threaded female type 1” GAS, made of brass.
See WARNING for Figure 8.
2.2.2 Orientation of the Interface Panel
The Interface Panel has been designed so that it can be oriented in the
direction where it is most convenient for the user to read: its square shape
allows it to be rotated from 90° to 90° (Fig.10).

• Disengage the 4 screws at the corners of the panel using the hex
wrench provided with the accessory tool.
• Do not remove the screws, just disengage them from the thread
on the product body.
• Be careful not to drop the screws into the system.
• Move the panel away, taking care not to pull on the signal trans-
mission cable.
• Reposition the panel in its seat at the preferred angle taking care
not to pinch the cable.
• Tighten the 4 screws with the wrench.
2.2.3 Loading Operation
Installation above head and below head
With reference to its position with respect to the water to be pumped, the instal-
lation of the system may be dened “above head” or “below head”. In particular
the installation is dened “above head” when the pump is placed at a level
higher than the water to be pumped (e.g. pump on the surface and water in
a well); vice versa it is “below head” when the pump is placed at a level lower
than the water to be pumped (e.g. overhead cistern and pump below).
Installation “above head”: with the aid of the accessory tool (Fig.3_point 5) or
with a screwdriver, remove the lling cap which, for the horizontal conguration,
is the one on Face F (Fig.1). Fill the system with clean water through the load-
ing door, taking care to let the air out. The quantity of water with which to ll the
system must be at least 1.5 litres. It is recommended to t a non-return valve at
the end of the suction pipe (foot valve) so as to be able to ll it quickly too dur-
ing the loading operation. In this case the quantity of water necessary for the
loading operation will depend on the length of the suction pipe (1.5 litres + …).
Installation “below head”: if there are no check valves between the water de-
posit and the system (or if they are open), it loads automatically as soon as it is
allowed to let out the trapped air. So slackening the lling cap (Face F - Fig.3)
enough to vent the air allows the system to load completely. To slacken the cap,

use the accessory tool (Fig.3_point 5) or a screwdriver. You must survey the
operation and close the loading door as soon as the water comes out (however
it is recommended to t a check valve in the section of the suction pipe and to
use it to control the loading operation with the cap loose). Alternatively, in the
case where the suction pipe is intercepted by a closed valve, the loading op-
eration may be carried out in a similar way to the one described for installation
over head.
3 - COMMISSIONING
Maximum working pressure 8 bar.
The intake depth must not exceed 8m for e.sybox and 7 m for
e.sybox30/50.
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, author-
ised 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 de-
vices connected to it and on the quality of the line.
The differential switch protecting the system must be correctly
sized and must be of the “Class A” type. The automatic differen-
tial switch must be marked with the following symbols:
The thermal magnetic circuit breaker must be correctly sized
(see Electrical Characteristics)
3.2 Conguration of the Integrated Inverter
The system is congured by the manufacturer to satisfy the majority of
installation cases, that is:
• operation at constant pressure;
• Set-Point (desired value of constant pressure): SP = 3.0 bar
• Reduction of pressure to restart: RP = 0.3 bar
• Anti-cycling function: Disabled
However, all these parameters and many others can be set by the user.
There are many other operating modes and accessory functions. Thanks
to the different possible settings and the availability of congurable input
and output channels, it is possible to adapt the inverter operation to the
requirements of various systems. See par. 5-6-7
For the denition of the parameters SP and RP, the pressure at
which the system starts has the value:
Pstart = SP – RP For example: 3.0 – 0.3 = 2.7 bar
in the default conguration
The system does not work if the utility is at a height higher than the equiv-
alent in metres of water column of the Pstart (consider 1 bar = 10 m water
column): for the default conguration, if the utility is at a height of at least
27m the system does not start.

3.3 - Priming
The priming of a pump is the phase during which the machine attempts to
ll the body and the suction pipe with water. If the operation is successful
the machine can work regularly.
Once the pump has been lled (par. 2.1.2, 2.2.3) and the device has been
congured (par. 3.2), it is possible to connect the electric power supply
after having opened at least one utility on delivery.
The system starts and checks the presence of water in delivery for the rst
10 seconds.
If a ow of water is detected in delivery, the pump is primed and starts its
regular work. This is the typical case of installation below head (par. 2.1.2,
2.2.3). The utility opened in delivery from which the pumped water is com-
ing out can be closed.
If a regular ow in delivery is not detected after 10 seconds, the system
asks for conrmation to enter the priming procedure (typical case of instal-
lation above head par. 2.1.2, 2.2.3). Or:
When “+” is pressed the pump enters the priming procedure: it starts work-
ing for a maximum time of 5 minutes during which the safety block for dry
operation is not tripped. The priming time depends on various parameters,
the most inuential of which are the depth of the water level from which it
is drawing, the diameter of the suction pipe, the water-tightness of the suc-
tion pipe. On condition that a suction pipe is used that is no smaller than
1” and that it is well sealed (with no holes or joins from which it can take in
air), the product has been studied to manage to prime in water conditions
up to 8m in depth for e.sybox and 7 m for e.sybox 30/50 in a time of less
than 5 minutes. As soon as the product detects a regular ow in delivery, it
leaves the priming procedure and starts its regular work. The utility opened
in delivery from which the pumped water is coming out can be closed. If
after 5 minutes of the procedure the product is still not primed, the interface
display sends a failure message. Disconnect the power supply, load the
product adding new water, wait 10 minutes and repeat the procedure from
the moment you put the plug in the socket.
Press “-“ to conrm that you do not want to start the priming procedure.
The product remains in alarm status
Operation
Once the electropump is primed, the system starts regular operation ac-
cording to the congured parameters: it starts automatically when the tap
is turned on, supplies water at the set pressure (SP), keeps the pressure
constant even when other taps are turned on, stops automatically after
time T2 once the switching off conditions are reached (T2 can be set by
the user, factory value 10 sec).
4 - PROTECTION SYSTEMS
IThe device is equipped with protection systems to preserve the pump, the
motor, the supply line and the inverter. If one or more protections trip, the
one with the highest priority is immediately notied on the display. Depend-
ing 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 over-
load (OC), 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 condition remains, you
must take steps to eliminate the cause of the fault.
In the event of blocking due to one of the internal errors E18, E19, E20,
E21 it is necessary to wait 15 minutes with the machine powered until the
blocked status is automatically reset.

In the case of lack of water the pump is stopped automatically after the

time TB. This is indicated by the red “Alarm” led and by the letters “BL” on
the display.
After having restored the correct ow of water you can try to leave the
protective block manually by pressing the “+” and “-“ keys simultaneously
and then releasing them.
If the alarm status remains, or if the user does not intervene by restoring
the ow of water and resetting the pump, the automatic restart will try to
restart the pump.
If the parameter SP is not correctly set, the protection against
water lack may not work correctly.
4.1.2 - Anti-Cycling (Protection against continuous cycles without
utility request)
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 7.6.12).
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 system)
The change of state of water from liquid to solid involves an increase in vol-
ume. It is therefore essential to ensure that the system does not remain full

ENGLISH
72
GB
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 elec-
tropump 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 peri-
ods 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 - “PB” Blockage due to supply voltage outside specications
This occurs when the allowed line voltage at the supply terminal assumes
values outside the specications. It is reset only automatically when the
voltage at the terminal returns within the allowed values.
4.1.6 - “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.
4.3 - Self-reset of error conditions
For some malfunctions and blockage conditions, the system attempts au-
tomatic self-reset.
The auto self-reset procedure concerns in particular:
“BL” Blockage due to water lack
“PB” Blockage due to line voltage outside specications
“OT” Blockage due to overheating of the power stages
“OC” Blockage due to motor overload
“BP” Blockage due to fault of the pressure sensor
For example, if the system is blocked due to water lack, the device auto-
matically starts a test procedure to check whether the machine is really
left denitively and permanently dry. If during the sequence of operations
an attempted reset is successful (for example, the water comes back), the
procedure is interrupted and normal operation is resumed.
Table 21 shows the sequences of the operations performed by the device
for the different types of blockage.

5 - INVERTER ELECTRONIC CONTROL AND USER INTERFACE
The inverter makes the system work at constant pressure. This
regulation is appreciated if the hydraulic plant downstream from
the system is suitably sized. Plants made with pipes with too
small a section introduce load losses that the equipment cannot
compensate; the result is that the pressure is constant on the
sensors but not on the utility.
Plants that are excessively deformable can create the onset of
oscillations; if this occurs, the problem can be solved by adjust-
ing the control parameters “GP” and “GI” (see par 7.6.4 - GP:
Proportional gain coefcient and 7.6.5 - GI: Integral gain coef-
cient).
5.1 - Operation with control unit
e.sybox, alone or in a pumping unit, may be connected by means of wire-
less communication to a remote unit referred to below as a control unit.
Depending on the model, the control unit offers a variety of functions.
The possible control units are:
• e.sylink
Table 3: Self-reset of blockages
Combining one or more e.syboxes with a control unit allows the use of:
• Digital inputs
• Relay outputs
• Remote pressure sensor
• Ethernet network connection
Below, the combination of functions listed above, made available by the
various types of control unit, will be referred to as “control unit functions

When using the input or remote sensor functions, in the event of a commu-
nications downage or control unit error, the e.sysbox and control unit will
switch to safety mode, adopting the conguration considered least dam-
aging. When safety mode comes into operation, a ashing icon showing a
cross inside a triangle appears on the display.

5.1.4 - Control unit function setup
The default value of all the inputs and the remote pressure sensor is DISA-
BLE, so before they can be used, they must be activated by the user; see
point 7.6.15 - Setup of auxiliary digital inputs IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4, pressure
sensor point 7.5.6 - PR: Remote pressure sensor.
The outputs are enabled by default, see output functions point 7.6.16 -
Setup of outputs OUT1, OUT2.
If no control unit has been associated, the input, output and remote pres-
sure sensor functions are ignored and have no effect, regardless of their
setups.
The control unit parameters (inputs, outputs and pressure sensors) can be
set even if the connection is down or even not made.
If the control unit is associated (it is included in the e.sybox’s wireless
network) but is not present or not visible due to problems, when the param-
eters related to these functions are set at a value other than disable they
blink to indicate that they will not be able to full their functions.
5.1.5 - Association and disassociation of e.sybox and control unit
The procedure for associating a control unit to an e.sybox is the same as
for associating an e.sybox:
locate the AS page of the installer menu and hold down the “+” key for 5
sec., until the blue LED blinks (whether the e.sybox is stand-alone or in a
group). After this, press the ► key for 5 sec. until the blue communication
LED starts to blink. As soon as the connection has been established, the
LED becomes steady and the e.sylink symbol appears on the AS page of
the e.sybox.
The procedure for disassociating the e.sylink is the same as for the e.sy-
box: locate the AS page of the installer menu and hold down the “-” key for
5 sec; this will eliminate all the wireless connections present.
6 - THE KEYPAD AND THE DISPLAY
The user interface is composed of a keypad with 128x240 pixel LCD dis-
play and with POWER, COMM, ALARM warning leds as can be seen in
Figure 12.
The display shows the values and the statuses of the device, with indica-
tions on the functionality of the various parameters.
The functions of the keys are summed up in Table 6.
The MODE key allows you to move on to the next items in the same
menu. Holding it down for at least 1 sec allows you to skip to previous
menu item.
The SET key allows you to leave the current menu.

Decreases the current parameter (if it is an editable parameter).
Increases the current parameter (if it is an editable parameter).
Holding down the “+” key or the “-” key allows the automatic increase/
decrease of the parameter selected. After the “+” key or the “-” key has
been held down for 3 seconds, the automatic increase/decrease speed
increases.
When the + key or the - key is pressed the selected value is
modied and saved immediately in the permanent memory (EE-
prom). If the machine is switched off, even accidentally, in this
phase it does not cause the loss of the parameter that has just
been set.
The SET key is only for leaving the current menu and is not nec-
essary for saving the changes made. Only in particular cases
described in chapter 0 are some values updated by pressing
“SET” or “MODE”.
Warning leds
• Power
White led. Lit with a xed light when the machine is powered.
Blinking when the machine is disabled (see par. 5.5).
• Alarm
Red led. Lit with a xed light when the machine is blocked by an
error.
• Communication
Blue led. Lit with a xed light when communication wireless is
used and is working correctly. It blinks with a slow frequency if,
Table 6: Key functions
when congured to work in communication mode, communication
is not available, is not detected, or there are problems. It blinks
with a high frequency during association with other wireless de-
vices. Off if communication is not used.
Menus
The complete structure of all the menus and of all the items of which they
are composed is shown in Table 9.
Access to the menus
The various menus can be accessed from the main menu in two ways:
1 - Direct access with a combination of keys
2 - Access by name with a drop-down menu
6.1 Direct Access with a Combination of Keys
The desired menu can be accessed directly by pressing simultaneously
the appropriate combination of keys for the required time (for example
MODE SET to enter the Setpoint menu) and the various items in the menu
are scrolled with the MODE key.
Table 7 shows the menus that can be reached with the combinations of
keys.
