Changing parameters According to the parameter overview in section 2.6, only the “adjustable parameters” may be modified cor- responding to the intended use of the unit. These parameters can be accessed as described in III. When the parameter to be changed appears in the display of the frequency inverter, it can be changed using the following combination of keys: a) key: OK The parameter to be modified is highlighted by a flashing line.
Other safeguards • Motor PTC resistor: The driving motor is protected by an integrated PTC resistor. In case of overheating, it will cause a malfunction in the frequency inverter, which, in its turn, will result in a shutdown of the unit. The message “Motor Thermistor”...

Driving motor: Directly behind the flanged connection to the pump housing, the motor housing has openings for checking the direction of rotation of the motor. The latter has to correspond to the direction of the arrow affixed to the outside of the motor cabinet. Should this not be the case, the direction of rotation can only be changed by exchanging two phases at the outlet of the frequency inverter.

Maintenance of the filter cartridge The filter cartridge of the suction filter (Part-No.: 709580) must be exchanged when pressure difference values are too high. Otherwise the system will overheat. The soiling of the filter cartridge depends on the individual conditions under which the unit is working. We, as the manufacturer suggest to check the degree of soiling within the filter cartridge on a 14-day-basis.
