4. Product description
4.1. Design
Fully submersible, multistage submersible pump with integrated non-return valve to
supply wastewater and drinking water, available as centrifugal pump in anged bowl
construction (MSI) or progressive cavity pump (MSH).
The unit can be installed vertically or horizontally. The motor is cooled by the pumped
uid. Therefore, the unit must always be operated immersed. The limit values for maxi-
mum uid temperature, minimum ow rate and voltage ranges must be adhered to.
Vertical installation is possible with or without cooling shroud depending on the cong-
uration. In cases of horizontal installation, a cooling shroud must always be provided.

4 Multistage hydraulics (MSI) 8 Support pipe (MSH)
4.1.1. Hydraulics
The pump is not self-priming, i.e. the uid must ow in either automatically or with
supply pressure and the minimum submersion (2.5m) must be ensured at all times.
Actun OPTI-MSI
Multistage hydraulics with radial impellers in sectional construction. The hydraulics
housing, the pump shaft and the impellers are made of stainless steel. The connection
on the pressure side is designed as a vertical threaded ange with a female thread and
integrated non-return valve.
Actun OPTI-MSH
Progressive cavity pump featuring eccentric screw within a double-helix rubber stator.
The hydraulics housing, the pump shaft and the eccentric screw are made of stainless
steel. The connection on the pressure side is designed as a vertical threaded ange with
a female thread and integrated non-return valve.
4.1.2. Motor
The drive unit is a stainless, encapsulated permanent magnet motor featuring inte-
grated frequency converter. The permanent magnet motor has been cast hermetically
featuring coiling insulated by paint, it has been resin-impregnated and features self-
lubricating bearings.
The motor is cooled by the pumped uid. Therefore, the motor must always be operated
immersed. The limit values for maximum uid temperature and minimum ow velocity
must be adhered to.
The integrated frequency converter enables operation with AC or DC power sources.
Consequently, the Actun OPTI-MS pump is particularly suitable for operation with
solar power. In applications with solar modules the integrated MPPT (Maximum Power
Point Tracking) algorithm enables an adaption to the available power to maximize the
pumped ow rate (dynamic MPPT).
The connection cable has bare cable ends, is longitudinally watertight and is connected
to the motor by a detachable plug.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION English
4.1.3. Motor lling
The motor has been lled ex works with a water-glycol mixture. This lling guarantees
that the pump is frost-proof at temperatures down to -20°C.
The motor is designed in such a way that it cannot be lled from outside. The manufac-
turer alone can ll the motor.
4.1.4. Seal
A mechanical seal has been installed between motor and hydraulics.
4.2. How it works
The pump can be switched on and off using a separate switch (main switch or DC
switch) that must be provided by the customer. The separate switch means the power
supply can be cut if required. The pump need not be switched on or off manually. When
the pump is switched on, it operates autonomously and is controlled as well as moni-
tored by the integrated electronics.
Connect accessories, such as the Wilo-MS Control switchgear and additional accesso-
ries (sensors), to implement pressure-dependent pump control.
Behavior during mains operation
After having switched on the power supply, the integrated frequency converter starts
up the pump to its maximum speed and the pump supplies at full power.
Behavior under solar power supply
After having switched on the power supply and as soon as the minimum voltage re-
quired to operate the motor has been generated, the frequency converter starts up the
pump. Depending on the available power provided by the solar panels, the frequency
converter generates the maximum available speed.
If the voltage drops below the required minimum value, the frequency converter switch-
es off the pump.
4.3. Monitoring devices
The pumps are equipped with the following monitoring devices:
• Undervoltage
• Overvoltage
• Excess current
• Temperature
• Dry-running protection with pre-wired water level sensor
These functions are implemented by the integrated electronics system and do not have
to be connected separately.
