Pressure sensor SQE pump 1.2 Function The pressure is registered by means of the pressure sensor, which transmits a signal to the CU 301. The CU 301 adjusts the pump performance accordingly by changing the pump speed. Mains borne signalling: The communication between the CU 301 and the pump is effected via the power supply cable.

Flow detection: During pump operation, i.e. when water is con- sumed, the CU 301 will adjust the pump speed to maintain a constant pressure. In order to stop the pump when no water is consumed, the CU 301 per- forms flow detection every 10 seconds.
Q = 0 m³/h, important that the pump is of the right type. Pump type 3,000 min 10,700 min During operation, the CU 301 controls the pump speed within the range from 3,000 min to 10,700 [m] / [feet] [m] / [feet] , see fig.
Example: A person is in the shower. Tap 2 is opened. The increased flow will cause pressure loss in the pipe, and even though the CU 301 is keeping the pressure constant at the pressure sensor, the person in the shower will feel the pressure loss.

Arrow-up button: 3.1 Service alarm When this button is pressed, the system pressure If one or more factory-set alarm values are exceed- setting is increased in steps of 0.5 bar.
3.2 Dry-running protection The purpose of the dry-running protection is to pro- tect the pump in case of insufficient water flow. The dry-running protection makes the conventional dry-running protection unnecessary. No additional cables to the motor are required. The dry-running protection will be active after 30 seconds’...
• Permanent red light when the supply voltage is out of range, see section 7. Technical data. • No contact to pump *) • Permanent red light when communication between the CU 301 and the pump is impossible. *) Press the on/off button to reset the alarm indication.
The R100 communicates via infra-red light. During communication, there must be visual contact be- tween the CU 301 and the R100. The best visual contact between the two units is obtained by pointing the R100 at the lower arrow button or by removing the front cover and pointing the R100 at the right side of the CU 301, see fig.
5.1 Menu OPERATION 5.1.3 Alarm The OPERATION menu for the CU 301 offers the possibility of setting and reading operating parame- ters. Factory settings are marked in bold-faced type under each individual display. 5.1.1 Pressure setting This display shows the types of alarm that may occur.
5.2 Menu STATUS 5.2.3 Speed The STATUS menu for the CU 301 provides operat- ing data about pump/motor and sensor. It is not pos- sible to change or set values in this menu. When [OK] is pressed continuously in this display, the displayed value is being updated.

• No contact to pump. To identify the cause of the service alarm, it is necessary to remove the front cover from the CU 301. Fit the front cover as shown in fig. 18 to avoid disconnecting the multi-core cable.

If the pump has not started yet, proceed as follows: • Press the on/off button for 5 seconds. If the pump starts, the CU 301 or the sensor may be defective. Note: The pressure is not controlled and may rise to a high level.
