The present Manual contains basic instructions for
installation, operation and maintenance.
Please, read the present Manual carefully before the device
operation in order to avoid accidents and breakage.
CORRECT USE
The device is designed for automatic on and off control of
single-phase surface and submersible pumps (including
vibration pumps) with power of up to 1.5 kW according to
ow and minimum pressure (Pmin), and for pump dry-running
protection and other emergency situations.
The control unit maintains pressure thresholds Pmax and
Pmin in water supply system preset by pressure sensor in
(switches the pump on at Pmin and switches the pump off at
Pmax).
If for some reason the pump does not build up preset Pmax
in eth system (dry-running mode, los supply coltage and
other emergency situations), the pump is switched off with
30-second delay at ow rate less than 2 l/min.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATING
PRINCIPLE
TURBI-M3 control unit consists of sealed plastic housing (1)
and upper cover with rubber bushing (2).
On the housing there are two screwed connecting ttings
with 1» external thread (3), tting to connect pressure tank
with brass busing, 1” internal thread (4), and two cable glands
(5).
On upper cover there are two signal LEDs indicating the
device modes – green CONTROL (6) and red ALARM (7), and
button to reset emergency mode (8).
Flow sensor (FS), min pressure sensor (PS) and electronic
circuit board with microcontroller which sets the device
operation program are installed inside housing. FS consists
of turbine rotating upon an axis by water ow, and sealed
contact. In turbine vanes, there are two magnets installed
symmetrically.
The device operating principle is that the ow sensor turbine
starts to rotate when water ow is passing through it at a
rate higher than 2 l/min.
The sealed contact, when approaching magnets in turbine
vanes, receives pulses and delivers them to microcontroller.
The microcontroller processes this information, and power
relay turns the pump on. At this time the pump continuously
delivers water producing the system pressure the value
of which depends on the pump parameters, pressure tank
capacity and connection diagram thereof. When water ow
stops or rate thereof drops to 2 l/min, FS turbine stops
rotating and power relay turns the pump off on signal of
microcontroller with thirty-second delay.
In the absence of water ow, the control unit automatically
switches the pump off providing dry-running protection and
other emergency situations.
On the housing upper cover there is the device serial number
the rst four gures thereof indicate date of manufacture as
month/year (MMYY...).

SAFETY MEASURES
1. Installation and electrical connection should be made by
qualied specialists in strict accordance with “Rules for
Technical Operation of Electric Installations of
Consumers” and “Safety Code for Technical Operation of
Electric Installations of Consumers”.
2. Before any operations, disconnect the device from power
line and open valves in order to blow the system pressure
down.
3. It is prohibited to use the control unit without grounding.
4. It is prohibited to use with upper cover removed.
5. The device dismounting and repair shall be performed
only by maintenance specialists.
OPERATION ALGORITHM
1. At water ow rate of more than 2 l/min, the pump is
switched on and starts to pump water continuously
(pump mode).
2. The device can operate in two modes – basic mode and
temporary mode.
Basic mode:
The pump is automatically switched off at the system
pressure Pmax and switched on at pressure drop to Pmin
Temporary mode:
This mode is automatically set when the pump, for a v
riety of reasons, cannot build up Pmax. In this case the
pump is switched off with 30-second delay when water
ow stops and rate thereof drops to 2 l/min. The pump
is switched on when water ow appears (>2 l/min) but
not earlier than in 2 seconds after the pump switching off.
3. In the absence of water ow and the system pressure
drop to Рmin, the pump is switched on and operates
during 30 seconds. If after thirty-second interval water
ow rate is not more than 2 l/min, the control unit is
ztransferred to pre-emergency mode.

4. After transfer to pre-emergency mode, the device
produces 6 automatic trial starts of 30 seconds
each – in 5, 20 and 60 minutes and then – in 6, 12 and 24
hours. When water appears during any trial starts, the
pump is automatically switched on and transferred to
pump mode.
5. In the absence of water during full cycle of trial starts,
the pump is switched off and transferred to emergency
mode.
6. Exit from emergency mode is made by pressing button
(8) or manually by disconnecting the control unit from
power line for not less than 6 seconds.
ATTENTION! The control unit can enter emergency mode not
only in the absence of water ow but also when supply voltage
drops below 170 V, in case of improper installation, impeller
jamming and in other emergency situations. Before restarting the
device, make sure that the cause of accident is eliminated.
It is not permissible to use the pump at very low water ow - less
than 2 l/min.
