SAFETY MEASURES
Before starting the pump, read this instruction booklet carefully and keep it in a safe place for
future reference
For safety reasons, the pump must not be used by anyone who has not read these instructions.
The pump must not be used by anyone under 16 years of age or by anyone who has not read
and understood the present instruction booklet. Keep children well away from the pump when
in operation..
The power cord must never be used to carry or move the pump. Always use the pump’s handle.
When handling the pump, while it is connected to the electric power supply, you should avoid
all contact with water.
Never remove the plug by pulling on the power cord.
Before taking any action on the pump, always remove the plug from the power socket.
There should be no individuals present in the liquid that is being pumped while the pump is in
use.
If the power supply cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his
authorized customer support service in order to avoid all risks.
The pump is equipped with a thermal overload safety device. In the event of any overheating of
the motor, this device automatically switches off the pump. The cooling time is roughly 15 to 20
minutes, then the pump automatically comes on again. If the overload cutout is tripped, it is
essential to identify and deal with the cause of the overheating. See Troubleshooting.

USE
Multi-impeller submersible pumps with built-in electronics ideal for rain water and mains irrigation
systems, for pumping water from tanks, ponds and wells and other applications that require high
pressure.
The pump is equiped with a built-in electronic control unit which manages its operation
(pump ON/OFF) and prevents damage.
•
The electronics protects the pump against dry running conditions:
Priming cycle: When started, the pump will perform the following operation until it is primed:
Four priming trials of 30 sec (motor ON) with pauses 3min (motor OFF). If there is no water,
i.e. if the priming trials fail, the pump will stop for an hour before trying to prime again. If also this
trial fails, there will be a 5 hour pause. Afterwards if the lack of water persists the pump will try to
prime every 24 hours until it has picked up a prime.
Normal Operation: If during the pumps opertaion, the water supply is inferior to the minimum
delivery for more than 40sec. The pump will go into alarm, and start a priming cycle. In this case
the priming trials are made after 1, 5 and 24 hours until the pump picks up prime.
•
The electronic unit also pretects the pump from damages the could be cause by the blocking of the
Non- Return Valve (NRV). Such restrictions are generally due to dirt deposits or sand and they can
also cause the pump to operate even if there is no water demand from the end-user. The
protection function stops the pump automatically every hour; if no damage is detected the pump
restarts immediately. If the NRV is blocked the pump goes into alram and stops. In this case the
pump can be restarted only after unplugging the pump and removing the obstrutction to the NRV.

•
The best working condition is with the pump completely submersed in water.
The motor’s cooling system allows the use at the minimum suction height for short periods.
•
The pump is equiped with a stainless steel anti-deposit suction grid.
The temperature of the fluid being pumped must never exceed 95°F
The pump must not be used to pump salt water, sewage, flammable, corrosive or explosive
liquids (e.g. petroleum oil, petrol, and thinners), grease, oils or foodstuffs.
Comply with the rules and regulations of the local water authority when using the pump for the
supply of domestic water.
3.
STARTING THE PUMP
Given the different provisions applicable to the safety of electric systems in different countries,
make sure that the pump system, as concerns its intended use, is in accordance with current
legislation.
Before starting the pump, make sure that:
•
The voltage and frequency specified on the pump’s nameplate coincide with those of the
available power supply;
•
there are no signs of damage to the pump or its power cord;
•
The electric connection is made in a dry place, protected against any risk of flooding;
•
The electric system is complete with a residual current circuit-breaker GFI Ground fault Indicator
(l An S 30 mA) and an efficient earthing connection;
•
Any extension cords must comply with requirements of the DIN VDE Standard 0620.

RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure the proper operation of the pump, it is important to comply with the following
recommendations:
The pump must only be used when immersed in water.
The pump must be placed in a stable position inside the trap or the lowest place where it is
installed.
• ThePeriodically, it is advisable to make sure that no dirt ( leaves, sand, etc.) has accumulated in
the trap or arounf the suction grid.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
lt is absolutely essential to prevent any risk of the pump freezing. In the event ol freezing temperatures.
remove the pump from the liquid, empty it and keep it in a place where it cannot freeze.
The pump must be disconnected from the mains before performing any cleaning operation.
The pump is maintenance free.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before taking any troubleshooting action, disconnect the pump from the power supply.
lf there is any damage to the power cord or pump, any necessary repairs or replacements must
be handled by the manufacturer or his authorized customer support service. or by an equally-
qualified party, In order to prevent all risks.
FAULT
CAUSE
SOLUTION
The motor does not
start or makes no
noise
1)The motor is not powered.
2) There is no water (pump in
alarm mode)
3) The NRV is Blocked (pump in
alarm mode)
1) Check if power is supplied to the socket
and that the plug is correctly inserted
2) Check the water level
3) Clean the Valve
The pump delivers no
water
1) The suction grid or piping are
clogged
2) The impeller is worn or stuck
1) Remove the obstruction correctly sealed
and start the pump again.
2) 2) Replace the impeller or remove the
obstruction.
The flow rate is too
low
1) The suction grid is partially
blocked
2) The impeller or delivery pipe are
partially blocked or encrusted.
1) Remove any obstructions
2) Remove any obstructions
The pump stops
running (possible
intervention of the
thermal overload
switch)
1) The liquid to be pumped is too
dense and overheats the motor.
2) The water temperature is to
high.
3) A solid object is blocking the
Impeller.
4) Power supply doesn’t comply
with the data on the name plate.
1-4) Disconnect the power cord, correct the
reason causing the overheating, then wait until
the pumphas cooled, plug the cord back in
and resume operation.
