WARNINGS:
Installation , electrical connection and setting up of the pump must be carried out by
skilled personnel in compliance with the general and local safety regulations in force.
Failure to abide by these instructions invalidates every right to the guarantee, as well as
endangering persons and equipment.

APPLICATIONS:
VA , VB , A , B , D ; for hot water in domestic heating systems. .
S; for domestic water supply
INSTALLATION :
On the delivery pipe or the return pipe. The arrow stamped on the pump body indicates the
direction of flow.FIG. 4
Install an isolation valve on both the intake pipe and delivery pipe.FIG. 5
Always fit the circulator with the motor shaft in a horizontal position, avoiding the dripping of
water onto the motor and onto the terminal board.FIG. 6
Avoid mixing hydrocarbon-derived additives and aromatic products with the circulating water.
Antifreeze Max :30%
Provide an anti-scale system in domestic water circulating units where the water hardness TH is
higher than 15jF

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION :
Supply voltage and frequency must be the same as shown on the data plate. The circulator
must ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO EARTH. Make the connection as indicated below.
FIG. 7

Fit a two-pole switch with a
contact distance of at least
3mm. No overload protection
is required. Use rubber cables
HO5RR-F 3xO.75mmFIG. 8
STARTING UP :
After installation ,fill and bleed the system before running the circulator. Start the circulator
at top speed.FIG. 9

If it is necessary to bleed air
from the motor, slowly slacken
the breather cap and let the fluid
out for a few seconds.
FIG. 10
Avoid running the circulator when there is no water in the system.
TAKE CARE, DANGER OF SCALDS.
FIG. 11

Speed adjustment, on pumps provided with the necessary device, is accomplished by turning
the three position switch, even when the motor is live.
In twin pumps, simultaneous operation must be at the same speed.
FIG. 12
MAINTENANCE :
The circulator does not require any maintenance.
At the start of the winter season, ensure that the motor shaft is not blocked.
FIG. 13

TROUBLESHOOTING
Check the shaft is turning freely. Remove
any dirt and/or scale.
Dirt or scale between the rotor and the stator
lining or between the impeller and pump
body.
The pump starts and then stops after a short
time
Bleed the pump.
Increase the intake pressure.
Air in the pump.
Intake pressure too low.
The pump is noisy
Select a lower speed.
Bleed the system.
Flow rate to high.
Air in the system.
The system is noisy
Check the electric connections and fuses.
Check the data on the plate and apply the
corect voltage.
Change the capacitor.
Select the maximum speed and/or free with a
screwdriver.
No supply voltage.
Incorrect supply voltage.
Faulty capacitor ( single phase motors).
Rotor is blocked by deposits on the rotor.
The pump does not start
