INSTALLATION

Environmental Requirements

Risk of malfunction can occur due to improper handling, installation, or
environment.
• Handle with care to prevent damage to the plastic components.
• Do not mount on equipment with excessive vibration.
• Install in a location where temperature is within the range of product rating.
• Do not install in corrosive environments.

Special Considerations for Outdoor Use

For outdoor vertical installations of the Inline 400, the enclosed protective weather cover should be used for
maximum protection of the unit. It is not recommended that the Inline 400 be installed horizontally for out-
door applications where the unit would be directly subjected to inclement weather. Failure to use this pro-
tective cover in outdoor installations will void the warranty of the Inline 400 unit.
To attach the protective weather cover, after the Inline 400 unit has been
installed, simply attach the cover over the top of the unit using the reusable fas-
tener. The cover allows viewing of the operation lights of the unit, but does not
allow access to the user interface pushbutton. The cover must be removed to
press the user interface pushbutton. After the required pushbutton activation is
completed, the protective weather cover must be reassembled to the unit.

Location

Decide on a location for the pump installation that is suitable for the Inline 400.
Choose a clean, well-ventilated location that provides protection from freezing,
flooding, and excessive heat. In addition, it should provide access for servicing
and allow convenient draining of the pump housing, tank, and service pipes.
NOTE: Install the Inline 400 away from items that could be damaged by water
leaks. Priming and bleeding air from the system can produce wet conditions.

Pressure Tank

Consider using a pressure tank. The pressure tank serves two purposes:
1. It allows for small volumes of water to be used without starting the Inline
400.
2. It adds a pressure buffer to the system in order to absorb undesired pres-
sure spikes (water hammer) or pressure fluctuations.
