4. Starting up the product 4.3 Venting the pump WARNING Pressurised system Death or serious personal injury - Tighten the bolts before opening the isolating valves. The pumped liquid may be scalding hot and under high pressure. 4.1 Before startup Do not start the pump until the system has been filled with liquid and vented.
5. Product introduction 5.1 Product description The pump is designed for circulating liquids in systems with variable flow rates where it is desirable to optimise the setting of the pump duty point to reduce energy costs. The table below shows the ALPHA2 models with built-in functions and features.

The unit uses a CR2032 lithium battery. ALPHA2 XX-XX 130 98091786 The unit is together with the Grundfos GO Balance app used for ALPHA2 XX-XX 180 98091787 balancing heating systems primarily in one- and two-family houses. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices, and you can download it free of charge from Google Play and App Store.
6. Control modes 6.4 Constant curve/constant speed At constant-curve/constant-speed operation, the pump runs at a 6.1 AUTO ADAPT constant speed, independently of the actual flow rate demand in In AUTO mode, the pump is set to proportional-pressure the system. The pump performance follows the selected ADAPT control.
6.7 Pump performance If the recommended pump setting does not give the desired distribution of heat in the rooms of the house, change the pump setting to the shown alternative. Relation between pump setting and pump performance. Figure shows the relation between pump setting and pump performance by means of curves. See also section 11.
7. Setting the product 7.3 Light fields indicating the pump setting If the pump impeller is rotated, for example when filling the pump WARNING with water, sufficient energy can be generated to light up the Hot surface display even if the power supply has been switched off. Death or serious personal injury The pump has ten performance settings which you can select - The pump housing may be hot due to the pumped...
7.4 Button for enabling or disabling of automatic night 7.7 Setting manual summer mode setback Manual summer mode is available as from ALPHA2 model C. The button enables and disables automatic night setback. See In manual summer mode, the pump is stopped to save energy. To fig.
The ALPHA Reader provides safe readout of internal data from the pump to an Android or iOS-based device via Bluetooth. The unit is together with the Grundfos GO Balance app used for balancing heating systems primarily in one- and two-family houses.
