Warning Running the pump at a higher inlet pressure than recommended (44 psi) can cause the pump to leak. Grundfos cannot be held responsible for any damage to the pump and/or its surroundings if this warning is not followed.
10. Functions 10.1 Control panel The MQ pump is operated entirely by means of the control panel. See fig. 1. The control panel offers the possibility of starting/stopping the pump. The pump settings and operating condition are indicated by indicator lights. See fig. 17. Fig.
Illustration Description Auto-reset (green): As standard, this function is activated on delivery (does not apply to pump versions for Australia). When the indicator light is • on, the Auto-reset function is activated. The pump will automatically attempt to restart every 30 minutes after an alarm/fault over a period of 24 hours.
