Wash Down Systems

WD 5.0 12/24 V DC

IB-203/04 (0606)

Typical applications

The WD 3.4 and the WD 5.0 are both ve

chamber positive displacement diaphragm

pumps.

These pumps are the ideal choice for wash

down applications as they provide 5 bar

pressure (70psi), making clean-up faster and

easier.

Features

• Quiet operation

• Smooth owing

• Self priming

• Integrated pressure switch turns pump

on and off automatically when the

spray nozzle is opened and closed

• Dry running without damage

• Low power consumption

• Quick disconnect ttings

Working principle

As the pump runs, pressure builds until

reaching 5 bar/ 70 psi. At this point, the in-

tegrated pressure switch automatically shuts

the pump off.

The pump is equipped with positively

checking outlet valves which ensure that the

pressure is maintained after the pump shuts

off.

When water is demanded the pressure

decreases. After a moderate drop in pressure,

the integrated pressure switch automatically

turns the pump back on.

Due to their durable construction and

thoughtful design, the WD 3.4 and the WD

5.0 pumps will provide many years of ser-

vice.

Important! The pressure setting of this

pump is made at the factory. Warranty

invalidated by pressure switch inter-

ference.

Installation and maintenance

Installation

Locate the pump in a dry location.

If the pump is mounted vertically, the

motor shall face up.

Mark screw positions and drill pilot

holes (see drilling template page 45).

Mount the pump using stainless steel

screws taking care not to over compress

the vibration dampening rubber feet.

Reinforced, high pressure exible tubing

is recommended.

If rigid pipe is used, a length

(225 mm/9 inches minimum) of exible

tubing shall be installed between the pump

and the rigid pipe. This will address noise

and/or damage caused by vibration transmit-

ted to rigid pipe.

Use stainless steel hose clamps to secure

tubing to quick disconnect ttings and other

hose barbs in the system.

The strainer that follows the pump must

be installed in line before the pump intake, to

prevent debris from entering pump and inter-

fering with proper functioning of valves.

Electrical installation

The pump must be installed according to ISO

10133 (Small craft – Electrical system – Ex-

tra low voltage DC installation for continuous

current). Note: The fuse must be ignition

protected.

The motor is equipped with built in thermal

protection to prevent the motor from overhea-

ting. The protection is automatically restored

when the motor

is cooled.

If the pump is connected with separate

earth lead, this should be yellow/green and

connected to the motor base.

See the wiring table (next page) for

correct installation. Negative wire must

be black.

Choose wire size in accordance with

total wire lenght (see table next page).

The wire connections must be sealed with a

marine sealant.

Note: Before installation with

electrical control systems, check that equip-

ment to be used is of sufcient rated capacity

to accept amperage draw of motor. Low

voltage will cause motor to overheat.

Start-up procedure

After pump installation, the system can be

started by using the following procedure:

• Make sure suction hose is connected

to the water supply.

• Open the spray nozzle and start

the pump.

• Close the spray nozzle when water

begins owing and all air has been

purged from the system.

• If additional spray nozzles or taps are

in use after the pump, open each

additional nozzle/tap until all air has

been purged from the system.

• Pump will cut off after taps are

closed and pressure builds to the

setpoint of the pressure switch

Other electrical devices, eg switch, circuit

breaker, must be installed between the

pump and the positive (+) lead on the bat-

tery (on the red wire).

* The wire length is the total distance from the

battery to the pump and back to the battery.

It is recommended to use a relay with a light

wire from main cable to switch to shorten the

main leaders.

Self-priming

Pump is self-priming up to 2.5 m/8.2 ft. for

WD 3.4 and 3 m/9.8 ft. for WD 5.0. Intake

lines must be air-tight to ensure self-pri-

ming.

Dry running

Pump will not be damaged by shorter

period of dry running. It will, however, un-

necessary reduce your battery power.

Caution

Do not use pump for any other liquids than

fresh-water and sea-water.

Winterizing

If water is not drained from the system

during freezing temperatures, damage is

likely to be sustained in the plumbing and

in the pump. To prevent damage follow

the instructions beneath:

1. Disconnect suction hose from water

supply (sea water supply) or if

water supply is taken from a tank,

drain water storage tank.
