5.5.3 Cables and plugs The pump has two electrical connections: the power supply and the control signal connection. Power supply connection The installer plug is both supplied with the pump and available as an accessory. Power cable adapters are also available as accessories. Control signal connection The control signal cable connection has three conductors: the signal input, the signal output and the signal reference.
6. Control functions 6.2 Control modes The pump has seven different control modes. Learn more about 6.1 Operating panel them in the following sections. 6.2.1 Radiator heating mode (factory setting) The radiator heating mode adjusts the pumps performance to the actual heat demand in the system following a proportional-pressure curve.
6.2.3 Constant curve or constant speed, I, II or III 6.3 Control signal At constant-curve or constant-speed operation, the pump runs at The pump can be controlled via a digital low-voltage pulse-width a constant curve. The pump performance follows the selected modulation (PWM) signal.

6.3.2 PWM input signal profile A (heating) Data The pump runs on constant-speed curves depending on the PWM Maximum rating Symbol Value input signal. The speed decreases when the PWM value increases. If PWM equals 0, the pump runs at maximum speed. PWM frequency input with high-speed 100-4000 Hz optocoupler...
6.4 Pump performance Figure shows the relation between pump setting and pump performance by means of curves. Fig. 19 Pump setting in relation to pump performance Setting Pump curve Function Constant curve or constant The pump runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve. speed I At speed I, the pump is set to run on the minimum curve under all operating conditions.
7. Setting the product To set the product use the button on the operating panel. Every time you press the button, the pump setting is changed. The LEDs will indicate the chosen control mode. See fig. 20. A cycle is five button presses. The pump automatically enables the PWM input-signal control mode when the signal cable is plugged in and the PWM signal is detected by the pump.
7.1 Setting the PWM input signal 8. Servicing the product To enable the external control mode (PWM profile A), you need a DANGER signal cable connected to an external system. The cable Electric shock connection has three conductors: the signal input, the signal output and the signal reference.

9.1 Deblocking the shaft If the pump is blocked it is necessary to deblock the shaft. The pump deblocking device is accessible from the front of the pump without having to demount the control box. The force of the device is high enough to deblock pumps, which are seized by lime, for example if the pump has been turned off during summer.
10. Technical data Operating conditions Sound pressure level The sound pressure level of the pump is lower than 43 dB(A).
