Configuration Use ▲▼ to change the values and press ENTER for validation. To quit the configuration sequence press MENU. After every press of the ENTER key the different screens that constitute the configuration sequence will be displayed To start the sequence of configuration press MENU during 3”...
Page 26
SYSTEM OPERATING PRESSURE Use keys ▲▼ to modify the initial value (2 bar). WARNING: The input pressure must be at least 1 bar lower than the maximum pressure of the pumps. NOTE: In case of twin pump systemsl the system operates at the pressure set in the MASTER device, so that the configuration of set pressure in the slave device has no effect.
Page 27
Screen Display Being the unit in automatic mode (LED AUTO ON) by pressing ▲ can be displayed several operation parameters. Where: 1. Pset is the set pressure or target pressure in bar. 2. Pbar is the instantaneous lecture of pressure in bar. 3.
Page 28
Expert Menu There is normally no need to adjust these values, they are factory set. Using ▲▼ we can change the values and press ENTER for validation. To quit the configuration sequence press MENU. After every ENTER the messages of the configuration sequence will be displayed.
Page 29
System Flushing • The pipework system should be flushed out prior to the iBolt being connected to ensure any contaminants/chemical residues and foreign bodies are removed from elsewhere in the system. Water Supply Always ensure that water supply is adequate to meet the demand. Ensure the pump chamber is full of water before starting the pump.

MAINTENANCE 10.1 Pressure Vessel The pressure vessel should be checked once every 12 months to have its pre- charge checked or replenished, this should be carried out as follows: 1. Isolate pump electrically. 2. Remove the front cover. 3. Isolate the water supply by closing the appropriate isolating valves. 4.
TROUBLE SHOOTING 11.1 Alarms (Single Pump Systems) In case of simultaneous alarms, quit the automatic mode and go to manual mode, pressing the pushbutton AUTOMATIC ON/OFF (led light PUMP will turn off). Using key ▲▼ will be displayed the succesive alarms. Once visualized, for leaving the menu, press ENTER returning to MANUAL mode.

A2 OVER-INTENSITY ☼ Failure verification Final failure DESCRIPTION: the pump is protected against over currents by mean of the intensity values established in the installation menu. These over currents are produced generally by dysfunctions in the pump or in the electric supply. SYSTEM REACTION: when detecting the thermal failure, the pump will be automatically stopped.
Page 34
A6 EXCESSIVE TEMP Final failure DESCRIPTION: the system is cooled by the motor fan to keep the INVERTER in optimum working conditions. SYSTEM REACTION: if an excessive temperature is reached the own system leaves the inverter out of service and as consequence the pump too. SOLUTION: verify the temperature environment should be under 50 ºC.
Page 35
11.2 Alarm Installation Master-Slave A10 COMUNICA (Failure verification) DESCRIPTION: If you have configured a Master-Slave system and communication cable is disconnected or there is a bad connection, the system stops. SYSTEM REACTION: The Master-Slave system stops and starts to operate individually.
