PUMP SPECIFICATIONS 1.1 Theory of Operation The SCALA2 pump is a compact, self-priming water supply system with integrated speed control to allow the pump performance to increase with increasing demand. The pump starts automatically when water is used and stops when it is not. The pump pressurizes feed water to the water system components. A pressure regulator maintains an inlet pressure of less than 40 PSI.
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION SCALA2 BOOSTER PUMP COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION The pressure regulator is designed to reduce incoming water pressure. This regulator has a built-in thermal expansion bypass feature. This feature prevents downstream pressure from rising to more than 10 psi above the supply pressure.
INSTALLATION & START-UP SCALA2 BOOSTER PUMP INSTALLATION & START-UP WARNING: The installation and operation should be in accordance with local regulations and accepted codes of good practice. 1. Always mount the pump on the base plate with horizontal suction and discharge ports.
The SCALA2 pump has an intelligent controller with the following integrated features: speed-controlled drive, tank, sensors, and non-return valves. To prevent motor burnout, the SCALA2 pump will stop automatically under the following conditions: running dry, water shortage, excessive temperature, or blocked pump. The pump has an automatic reset function, allowing the pump to attempt to restart in five-minute intervals up to 8 times after an alarm occurs, then every 24 hours after that.
PUMP CONTROLS SCALA2 BOOSTER PUMP Indicator 2 The pump is blocked, for instance the shaft seal has seized Indicator 3 Leakage in the system. Indicator 4 Dry running or water shortage. Pump must be reset manually. Indicator 5 The maximum pressure has been exceeded or the setpoint cannot be reached.
PUMP CONTROLS SCALA2 BOOSTER PUMP 4.1.2 Pressure Indicator The pressure indicator shows the required outlet pressure of the pump. 4.2 Expert Settings The expert setting menu allows the installer to toggle between the following functions: self-learning, auto reset, anti cycling, and maximum continuous operating time.
PUMP CONTROLS SCALA2 BOOSTER PUMP Function Default Description If the pump cannot reach the user-defined pressure setpoint, the self- learning function will automatically adjust the setpoint. The pump will lower the setpoint to either 65, 51, or 36 psi. The self-learned setpoint is indicated on the operating panel by one flashing green light.
Do not attempt to carry out any action if it involves inspecting / replacing an electrical / mechanical component without first contacting AmeriWater for advice. Please be aware that the unit / system may still be under pressure and contain water at scalding temperature under certain fault conditions.

SCALA2 BOOSTER PUMP MAINTENANCE It is recommended to periodically check and clean the non-return valves and to keep the SCALA2 pump clean, including keeping the ventilation holes free of dust. The pump has a debris filter to protect the pump. The filter is placed on the bottom and can easily be removed and cleaned with a stiff brush.
