APPLICATION:
Pumps described in this manual are intended for forcing circulation in central
heating installations with constant or variable flow in which the temperature of
heating medium does not exceed 110 oC, and pressure in the installation does not
exceed 1 Mpa (1,000,000 Pa). The maximum temperature of the surroundings
where the pump will be installed cannot exceed 40 oC, and relative moisture at the
installation site must be lower than 90%.
PUMP INSTALLATION:
Prior to any installation works, power supply must be
disconnected. Provide security against accidental switch-on.
The pump can be connected upon completion of all installation works in the
pipeline where it will operate. One should remember that, as a result of
welding or soldering works, mechanical contamination can be accumulated
in

The pumped water cannot contain any mechanical contamination. The
pump is intended for pumping of clean water, with no
solid or abrasive particles. Pumping water containing mechanical contamination
results in fast wear and tear of the pump and, in consequence, it its failure. In such
a case, only paid repair is available.
The pump is not adjusted to pump caustic, flammable, destructive or explosive
substances
(e.g. petrol, nitro, oil, etc.), foodstuffs or salty water. Failure caused by pumping of the
same type of liquid is not subject to warranty repair.
The maximal temperature of the pumped water is 110 oC.
The pump is not adjusted to pump water containing excessive amounts of
mineral elements causing deposition of scale on the pumping elements. Using
the pump in such conditions results in premature wear and tear of the operating
elements of the pump. In such a case, only paid repair of the pump is available.
The pump cannot pump water containing oils and petroleum derivatives.
Pump operation in such water can lead to destruction of rubber elements,
e.g. cables or sealing, and result in leakage in the pump and motor failure. In
such a case, only paid repair of the pump is available.

in the pipeline. It is recommended to flush the pipeline in which the pump is
installed prior to installation.
The pump must be
installed in such a manner
that its shaft is in a
horizontal position. Ports
can be in a different
position than shown in
this picture, however, the
motor shaft must always
be in a horizontal position.
Installation of the pump in a manner where the shaft is in vertical position results
in fast wear and tear of the bearings and failure of the pump. In such a case, only
paid repair is available.
The arrow cast on the corpus indicates the direction of water flow.
The pump should be installed in such a manner which allows for cable inlet
in the control panel box was placed in the bottom. This type of installation protects
against water penetration into the cable box in case of leakage in the water
installation. Device destruction caused by pouring water into the terminal box
from the outside is not subject to warranty repair.
Despite the possibility of pump operation in water pumping in a vertical downward
direction, the manufacturer recommends the installation which makes it pump
water vertically upward or horizontally.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION:
The electric network used to power the pump must be compliant with data
provided on the rating plate. The pump is fitted with a cable with a plug intended
for its connection to the socket with earthing.
The pump must be connected to a network with active earthing.
The manufacturer and guarantor are not liable for any
damage to people or property resulting from lack of proper earthing.

OPERATION MODE:
With the use of operation mode switch, the user can select one of eleven modes by
consecutive pressing. The operation modes are classified into five setpoint groups.
Selection of one group is displayed by the light of the appropriate signal lamp in
the panel of the pump. By consecutive pressing of the operation mode switch, a
user can go through all setpoints, and within them through different operation
modes. The information on current active operation mode will be displayed for a
short time on the screen of power consumption meter mode upon pressing the
operation mode switch.
Information displayed on the screen of the meter:
AU - automatic pump parameter selection according to the installation needs
(diagram - grey colour)
∩1- constant speed, the lowest first gear (diagram - black colour)

The powering installation of the pump must be equipped with a
residual current device, with rated making current In not exceeding 30
mA. The manufacturer and guarantor are not liable for any damage to
people or property resulting from supplying the pump with power
without a proper switch.
PUMP OPERATION CONTROL:
Upon launch of the pump the display of the power consumption meter will show
the current power consumption of the pump. When the message “--” (two
horizontal lines) is displayed, it means that the pump is blocked. In this case the
pump must be disconnected from the electrical grid, unblocked (failure must be
eliminated) and turned on again. Turing off and again on resets the failure
message.

RECOMMENDED SETPOINTS DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF CENTRAL
HEATING (CO) INSTALLATION:
1)
If there is a “two-pipe” central heating installation routed in the house, i.e. one
pipe serves as the supply
line for all heaters in the
loop, and the other, in
parallel position, is used
only for collection of
cooled water from the heaters, choosing the AUTO function is most cost efficient.
In such installation it is also possible to select higher setpoint from the
characteristics of proportional pressure PP1.
5

2)
If there is a “disposable”
CO installation in the
house, i.e. water from the
radiator is cooled down
and drained into the pipe
feeding hot water into the
next radiator, and then, upon going through all radiators in an loop, it is drained to
the boiler, the most economical setpoint is the lower setpoint from characteristics
of proportional pressure PP2. The higher setpoint can also be selected from the
characteristics of proportional pressure PP2.
3) In case of floor heating, an optimal choice is an AUTO or a potentially higher
setpoint CP1, or lower CP2 from the characteristics of constant pressure.
NIGHT MODE:
Night pump operation mode can be used only when:
-CO installation with a furnace must be equipped with automatic
temperature regulation of a heating medium - that is, it must have capacity
to work in the night mode.
-The pump must be installed on the pipe exiting the furnace. The night mode
does not operate on the entering pipe.
-CO installation with small volume of heating medium cannot cooperate
with a pump operating in a night mode.
The principle of NIGHT MODE operation:
The use of the night mode switch will cause the automatic system of the pump will
monitor the temperature changes in flowing water. If the temperature signalling
unit detects temperature lowering of at least 0.1 OC/min in the period of about 2
hours, it will result in automatic switch the pump into night operation mode. In
case of increase in temperature of the heating medium of about 10OC, the pump
will automatically switch back into standard operation mode.
Night operation mode can only be launched in the automatic mode of
parameter selection of pump operation for installation parameters - AUTO
mode.
Power cut results in deactivation of the night mode. Upon restoration of power it is
necessary to switch the night mode on by pressing the proper button.
START-UP, OPERATION:
The pump can be started after the installation is filled with water.
CAUTION Attention must be paid to installation tightness, i.e. if the pump is
not flooded with dropping or leaking water from the installation.
Pump flooding with water coming from the exterior can result in device
destruction. In such a case, only paid repair is available.

On first launch, the installation and pump must be carefully deaerated. When the
pump is deaerated, the level of the noise generated by the device motor drops.
Observe the following limitations:
Heating medium
temperature [OC]
Minimal inflow pressure on the
suction side [bar] / [m] / [Pa]
≤ 75
0.05 bar / 0.5 m / 5 000 Pa
90
0.28 bar / 2.8 m / 28 000 Pa
110
1.08 bar / 10.8 m / 108 000 Pa
When the surrounding temperature and heating medium temperature ratio is
incorrect, it can result in water steam condensation in the terminal box and
motor stator. In order to avoid it, it is essential to observe the following rule
at all times: the temperature of heating agent must be higher than the
temperature of surroundings. Minimal temperature of heating medium is
2OC.
The temperature of surroundings cannot exceed 30OC, and the maximum
temperature of heating medium is 110OC. When the temperature of surroundings is
40OC, the temperature of heating medium cannot exceed 70OC. For 35OC of
surroundings, the max. temp. of medium is 90OC.
Device destruction as a result of water steam condensation is not subject to
warranty repair.
The temperature of pump surface can never exceed 120OC. Device
destruction as a result of installation overheating is not subject to warranty
repair.
PUMP DISPOSAL:
The used product is subject to disposal as wastes only in selective waste
collection systems organised by the Network of Communal Electric and
Electronic Waste Collection Centres. The customer is entitled to return
the used equipment to the network of the electric equipment distributor,
at least for free and directly, if the returned device is of proper type and
fulfils the same function as a newly purchased device. It is prohibited to
dispose of electric equipment together with other household wastes.

Failure-free pump operation requires minimal inflow pressure of heating
medium (water) on the suction side of the pump. The minimal inflow pressure
depends on the heating medium temperature. The higher the temperature, the
higher inflow pressure must be provided on the suction side of the pump.
