Commissioning - Stuart Turner MAINBOOST iTank MBI Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

6 COMMISSIONING / STARTING
6.11
6.12 Water Supply: Always ensure that water supply is adequate to meet the
demand. Ensure the tank is full of water before starting the pump. Failure to
do this could result in seal damage. The pump should be fully submerged
before starting. Do not run pump dry.
6.13 Unit starting and operation:
Starting
When the unit is connected to the electrical supply, the green led "Power
On" lights up and the yellow led "Pump On" (pump in operation) indicates
that the pump has been started.
Ensure all outlets are closed, turn the power supply 'on' - pump will start,
pressurise the system and then stop. Open and close all outlets in turn
associated with the pump (including w/c systems), allowing water to
flow from each outlet until all air is purged. As each outlet is opened and
closed, the pump will start and stop respectively.
If the FAILURE (red) L.E.D. lights up, this indicates that the pump is out of
water or priming is incomplete. In the event of this happening, check
water supply to pump. If all is in order keep the RESTART button depressed
with a tap open and wait until the red failure light goes out. When the button
is released and the tap closed, the control unit will stop the pump at its
maximum pressure. Do not run against a closed valve for periods longer
than 5 minutes.
Operation
Once the commissioning operation is completed, the module will perform
all pump control operations automatically. Note: After closing any outlet
there will be a small delay time before the pump stops operating, which is
normal. Any tap or control valve within the system when opened and
closed will now turn the iTank on/off, there will be a delayed start due to
the water stored in the pressure vessel. Providing this is the case the system
is now operating correctly. Carefully check pump and pipework for
leaks whilst the pump is running and stationary before leaving the installation
unattended.
Pump failure
When particular operational breakdowns occur, such as liquid failure, the
module recognises the breakdown and the red L.E.D. FAILURE light comes on.
The pump stops operating to prevent damage caused by its working in the
absence of liquid. After rectification of the failure, the system is restarted by
depressing the restart button.
System Flushing
The pipework system should be flushed out prior to the iTank
being connected to ensure any contaminants/chemical
residues and foreign bodies are removed from elsewhere in the
system.
