Operation Of The Flusscontrol Electronic Pressure Switch - Pentair MAX Series Instruction Manual

START-UP (FIG. 1)
Before starting the pump, fill the
•
suction pipe (2) and the pump body (8)
using the filling cap (9)
• Close the cap after verifying that there
are no leaks
Open the closing devices on the
•
delivery pipe (i.e. the water cock)
so that air can be released from the
suction cycle
Insert the pump plug into a 230 V
•
alternate current socket and press
the switch
CHAPTER 6
OPERATION OF THE FLUSSCONTROL ELECTRONIC PRESSURE SWITCH (FIG. 1, N. 12)
AUTOMAX 80/48, AUTOMAX 160/120, AUTOJET 60/50, AUTOJET 70/50
• A panel is mounted on the front of the
device which displays all the operating
phases of the system by means of
pilot lights: green pilot light Power on,
yellow pilot light Pump on, red pilot
light Failure
At the moment of connection to the
•
electrical mains, the green light turns
on together with the yellow light
indicating the start-up of the pump
(fig. 5/A) which remains in operation
for a few seconds in order to allow the
system to build up pressure
• If this time is not sufficient, the red
Failure light will turn on (fig. 5/C); in
this case keep the red Restart (rearm)
button pressed and wait with a service
open for the red pilot light to turn off
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
The electronic FLUSSCONTROLL pressure switch (including the safety cables) can be opened or replaced only by
qualified personnel.
Pompe JET, NEWJET, JETINOX,
•
AUTOJET, MAX, MULTINOX-A,
AUTOMAX are self-priming
• Therefore, it is possible to start them
without filling the suction pipe with
water
• However, it is still necessary to fill the
pump body
The priming operation requires a few
•
minutes
• After the service is closed, the device
stops the pump and goes into standby
mode, the green pilot light lit, ready
to carry out in complete autonomy all
the subsequent command and control
operations (fig. 5/B)
On opening a service, the device starts
•
the pump which remains in operation
for as long as the service itself is open
(fig. 5/A)
• After the service has been closed, the
device restores maximum pressure to
the system, then stops the pump and
returns to the standby mode (fig. 5/B)
It may also be necessary to fill the
•
pump body with water several times,
according to the length and diameter
of the suction pipe
If the electropump is not used for a
•
long period of time, it is necessary to
repeat all the operations described
above before starting the pump
• In the event of water shortage during
aspiration, the device recognises the
failure which it signals with the red
Failure light, and stops the pump (fig.
5/C) protecting it from dry running
• Once the causes of a blockage have
been removed, it is sufficient to press
the red Restart (rearm) button to
restore normal operation
• In the case of a temporary power
outage the device will automatically
restart as soon as the electricity
returns
