Aquamatic Series 0.1.10 Any damage to equipment, pumpset, vessels, pipework or system components caused by misapplication, mishandling or misuse could lead to Electric shock hazard, Burns hazard, Fire hazard, Flooding hazard or cause injury to people or damage to property. 0.1.11 This equipment may contain moving/rotating parts that must remain guarded. - Page 7 Aquamatic Series Directive (PED). Where units are despatched with “Loose” vessel(s) for assembly on site it is absolutely essential that they be installed as detailed in the instructions using the fittings provided where appropriate. Failure to observe this will nullify compliance with the PED and may present a safety hazard.

Aquamatic Series 0.2.27 EMC - With respect to BS EN61000-3-2 this equipment is defined as ‘professional equipment’ and therefore the installer/user may need to seek permission from the supply utility to connect this equipment to the public low voltage mains supply. 0.2.28 Where “Expansion vessels”... -
Page 9: Cautions For Maintenance
Aquamatic Series exceptions/additions: -In the event of a fire there must be a volt-free signal from the sprinkler system to force the booster set into “fire sprinkler mode” and run all pumps at 100% speed until manually switched off at the mains isolator switch (IS1). This is in accordance with BS9251 code of practice “The sprinkler system is normally only to be turned off following liaison with the fire and rescue service and when deemed safe to do so”. -
Page 10: Installation Instructions
Aquamatic Series INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS These instructions are intended for the installer of this pressure booster set. Please follow them carefully. The unit should only be installed by a competent person; A competent person is someone who is technically competent and familiar with safety practices and the hazards involved. Failure to install the equipment as recommended below could invalidate the warranty provided by AquaTech-Pressmain to the purchaser. -
Page 11: Fixing
Aquamatic Series withdraw diaphragms from vessels. remove manifolds from pumps. If necessary, provide overhead lifting eyes for possible future use. Any Hydraulic Accumulator supplied should be located as near as possible to the discharge side of the pumpset. Should any of these location conditions not be satisfied AquaTech-Pressmain reserve the right to charge labour on any warranty work required on the pumpset. - Page 12 Aquamatic Series MAX PERMISSIBLE MOVEMENT BORE NOM.

Page 17: Operating Instructions
Aquamatic Series OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS These pumpsets are used for increasing the supply pressure of cold potable water and other liquids. In addition AMV-FE and HYAV-DS units built in accordance with BS9251 are capable of supplying Domestic Sprinkler installations (when “Fire Sprinkler Mode” is activated) as well as domestic water services. - Page 18 Aquamatic Series 2.3.3.2 For “normal” operation, all pump suction and discharge valves should be left open, all hydraulic accumulator/expansion vessel isolating valves should be left open, and drain cock/valves should be left closed. Should it be necessary to have a situation that is not “normal” operation, then we would strongly recommend attendance to site by our trained/authorised service personnel.
- Page 19 Aquamatic Series 2.3.3.4 Pump Operation Intermittent running duty pump with or without one or more optional support pumps meeting demand. Pumps are run at Variable speed, except AMF models which are fixed speed. When demand on the system occurs (e.g. when a tap is turned on or a hose reel valve is opened) the pressure falls as water from the hydraulic accumulator is discharged into the system.
- Page 20 Aquamatic Series For AMV-FE, AMF and HYAV units, the pumpset is supplied with a low water sensor built into the suction manifold and pre-wired to the control panel. No further action is required. 2.3.3.12 Stop Function The water flow from the pumpset is tested periodically by momentarily reducing the speed, if flow is present then the pump(s) speed back up and continue on until a low flow condition is sensed, whereupon the speed is increased until the pressure reaches a pre-determined stop pressure, nominally the duty pressure x 1.2 for AMV-FB units, or the duty pressure for AMV-FE, AMF and HYAV units.
