To obtain service under this warranty, the defective product must be returned to the distrib- utor or dealer of Grundfos' products from which it was purchased together with proof of pur- chase and installation date, failure date, and supporting installation data. Unless otherwise provided, the distributor or dealer will contact Grundfos or an authorized service station for instructions.
3.1 Quick installation guide 1.2 Introduction 3.2 Mechanical installation 3.3 Electrical installation The Grundfos BMQE Constant Pressure System is a complete 3.4 Installation of pressure sensor pressure boosting system that includes pump, controller, tank, 3.5 Installation of diaphragm pressure tank mounting brackets, and pressure sensor.
1.5 Features and benefits At large flow rates, the pressure will drop quickly and the pump will start immediately and maintain constant pressure. When the The BMQE Constant Pressure System features: system is running, the BMQE controller makes small adjustments •...
3. Installation 3.1 Quick installation guide For more detailed instructions, skip this section and go to section 3.2 Mechanical installation. Warning Before starting work on the BMQE controller or BMQE pump, make sure that the electricity supply has been switched OFF and that it cannot be accidentally switched on.

9. Close the BMQE controller cover. 10.Switch on main power. Diaphragm tank pre-charge 14.Verify that the BMQE controller is operating. 11.Set controller discharge psi and verify diaphragm pre-charge pressure. 15.Optional: lock the buttons. 12.Switch on the BMQE controller. Consult Troubleshooting section 13.Verify that the BMQE pump is operating.
The sound pressure level of the BMQE is <74 db[A] at a distance conduit and cable trays. Tie the cable shield to ground only at of 3 feet (1 meter). It is recommended by Grundfos that the pump the BMQE controller panel.
The supply voltage and frequency are marked on the nameplate. 3.4 Installation of pressure sensor Make sure that the BMQE controller and BMQE pump are 3.4.1 Positioning the pressure sensor suitable for the electricity supply on which they will be used. Pressure losses often cause inconvenience to the user.
3.5.1 Pre-charge pressure setting The pre-charge pressure of the diaphragm tank must be set to 70 % of the pressure setting in order to use the tank to the limit of its capacity. Use the values in the following table. Pre-charge pressure is measured with 0 psi in the pipeline: Setting (psi) Pre-charge pressure (psi)
4.3 BMQE controller operating functions 4.3.4 Pressure setting 4.3.1 Location of ON / OFF button The two arrow buttons on the BMQE controller front are used for the pressure setting; see fig. 9. The ON / OFF button is located on the front of the BMQE controller (fig.

Note classified as contaminated. If Grundfos is requested to service the pump, Grundfos must be contacted with details about the pumped liquid, etc. before the CONTROL INDICATOR pump is returned for service. Otherwise Grundfos can refuse to accept the pump for service.
The sound pressure level is < 74 db[A] at a distance of 3 feet (1 meter). It is recommended by Grundfos that the pump be installed with sound and vibration dampening equipment such as flexible piping adapters and anti-vibration mounting.
8. Troubleshooting 8.1 Fault finding chart - BMQE pump Also refer to section 8.2 Fault finding chart - BMQE controller to troubleshoot the controller. Fault Possible cause Possible remedy The BMQE does not run. The GFI or the voltage-operated GFI has Cut in the circuit breaker.
8.2 Fault finding chart - BMQE controller Also refer to 8.1 Fault finding chart - BMQE pump to troubleshoot the pump. Fault Possible cause Possible remedy No light in the front cover. The ribbon cable connection is loose or Is the control indicator LED flashing? defective.

Fault Possible cause Possible remedy The BMQE controller indicates The pump cable is longer than 650 feet. Reduce the length of the pump cable. “No contact to pump”. Cable breakage Switch off the main power supply to the controller. Switch on the main power supply again.
Fault Possible cause Possible remedy 12. The controller indicates “Overload”. The pump is worn or blocked. The pump must be serviced. The pump is too large for the installed motor. Replace pump or motor. 13. The controller indicates “Sensor defective”. The pressure sensor is defective.
8.4 Checking of motor and cable Supply voltage Measure the voltage (RMS) between line and neutral. When the motor is loaded, the voltage should be within Connect the voltmeter to the terminals at the connection. the range specified in section For general use of the R100, see the operating instructions included with the R100.
8.6 Pressure sensor voltage chart Voltage to pressure chart for BMQE pressure sensors. Measure DC voltage between Sensor IN and Sensor Ground. Voltages less than 2 or greater than 10 indicate an incorrectly wired or a faulty sensor. DC voltage DC voltage DC voltage 40.5...
