The manufacturer of the Opt�ma pumps, Alarko-Carr�er, prov�des customer serv�ce and reta�l�ng operat�ons on the f�elds of heat�ng, cool�ng, vent�lat�on, water treatment and pressur�zat�on nat�onw�de w�th �ts 68 years of exper�ence. Please contact your author�zed Alarko-Carr�er customer serv�ce �f you need any �nformat�on or encounter a problem.
3. GENERAL 3.1 Descr�pt�on of the Pump Alarko Opt�ma �s a brand new type of c�rculat�on pump wh�ch regulates �ts speed accord�ng to the system needs by the ECM (Electron�c Commutated Motor) technology and the controller on �t, as well as saves energy w�th �ts var�ous types of operat�ng mode cho�ces.
3.2 Appl�cat�ons (Intended Use) Alarko Opt�ma pumps are developed for the c�rculat�on and pressur�zat�on of the water flow�ng �n the heat�ng and a�r cond�t�on�ng systems located �n the res�dent�al, commerc�al and �ndustr�al establ�shments. Opt�ma pumps can be used only for the purposes that are stated �n th�s CAUTION manual.
3.5 Insulat�on Shells The �nsulat�on shell �s des�gned to m�t�gate the thermal losses �n heat�ng systems and del�vered w�th the pump. It �s made of polypropylene foam and thoroughly mounted on the pump by �ts perfectly f�tt�ng des�gn. Remove the �nsulat�on shells from the hous�ng before the pump �nstallat�on. See F�gure 3.2. F�gure 3.2: Insulat�on Shells 4.
It �s adv�sed to check and exam�ne the product whether �t �s the ordered type and del�vered undamaged. If the pump �s damaged or deformed, �t should not be used w�thout an approval of the Alarko-Carr�er customer serv�ces. 5. PUMP DETAILS 5.1 Nameplate...

F�gure 6.1: Correct Pump Pos�t�ons Wh�le Vert�cally and Hor�zontally Installed to the P�pework The pump must be not perpend�cular to the ground. F�gure 6.2: Incorrect Pump Pos�t�ons The pos�t�on of the control box can be changed �n order to see and use the d�splay eas�er. To adjust the pos�t�on, the 4 bolts, wh�ch hook the motor hous�ng and pump hous�ng together, are removed and the motor hous�ng �s adjusted by rotat�ng �t to the appropr�ate one from the allowed pos�t�ons and reconnected to the pump hous�ng w�th bolts.
F�gure 6.3: Control Box Pos�t�on Adjustment 6.2 Mechan�cal Installat�on 1. Make sure that all the p�p�ng of the system must be done before beg�nn�ng the �nstallat�on. 2. Close the valves on the �nlet and outlet s�de to �solate the pump from water flow. 3.

F�gure 6.9: Removal of the Bottom Cover 5. Pull the power supply cable through the no.1 cable gland shown �n F�gure 6.10. F�gure 6.10: Cable Gland V�ew 6. Connect the power supply cables to the socket named as “A” �n F�gure 6.10 appropr�ately, as shown �n F�gure 6.8.
F�gure 6.11: Ref�tt�ng the Bottom Cover The power cable should not be �n contact w�th the pump or p�pel�ne. The voltage value of the ma�ns must be �n between the l�m�ts g�ven �n Table 5.2 It �s recommended to use a res�dual-current dev�ce (RCD) to protect the user and the pump. The RCD should be chosen accord�ng to the nom�nal voltage and current of the pump and �t should be able to tr�p on h�gh frequency leakages (type B) (The tr�pp�ng current should be lower than 3.5mA accord�ng to the EN 60335).
7. DISPLAY AND SETTINGS The control d�splay shows the �nformat�on about the pump status and allows the user to set the des�red mode to operat�on. Opt�ma pumps have 3 d�fferent d�splay opt�ons wh�ch are graph�cal d�splay, 2-D�g�t and non-d�splay. 7.1 Graph�cal D�splay The graph�cal d�splay has 2 LEDs, f�ve control buttons and one TFT screen.

8. FIRST START-UP, CONTINUOUS OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN Depend�ng on the water temperature �n the p�pe system, any part of the pump �s subject to h�gh temperatures. In case of a contact to the non- plast�c surfaces, there �s a r�sk of burn and conflagrat�on. F�ll the system w�th water �n m�n�mum pressure and vent the a�r.
��. Sw�tch off the power for 2-D�g�t D�splay and Non-D�splay types. ���. In the event of �nstalled add�t�onal accessor�es, the pump can be started/stopped v�a add�t�onal accessor�es. 9. OPERATING MODES AND SELECTION CRITERIA Opt�ma c�rculat�on pumps save energy w�th �ts var�ous types of operat�ng mode cho�ces, wh�ch they track the curves of system needs by the ECM technology.
9.1 Manual Operat�ng Mode F�gure 9.2: The curve of the Manual Mode In th�s operat�ng mode, the pump sets �ts speed f�xed on the selected rpm. The speed �s set by 50 rpm �ntervals. 9.2 Constant Pressure Operat�ng Mode ayar F�gure 9.3: The curve of the Constant Pressure Mode In th�s operat�ng mode, the pump sets �ts speed to keep the selected head value (H ) stable.

FAULTS, CAUSES AND REMEDIES DİKKAT The troubleshoot�ng must only be done by author�zed serv�ce. Before start�ng work, sw�tch off the power supply. Beg�n work 1 m�nute after sw�tch�ng off the power. If any �mped�t�ve state occurs for the pump�ng operat�on, the pump automat�cally stops, g�ves a warn�ng code.
Page 31
Warn�ng Cause Remedy Code Input voltage �s above 245V. Ensure that the �nput voltage �s w�th�n spec�f�ed l�m�ts. Input voltage �s below 207V. Ensure that the �nput voltage �s w�th�n spec�f�ed l�m�ts. If the system has mult�ple pumps, make sure the pumps all operate The motor speed exceeds the setpo�nt speed.

DISMALTLING D�smantl�ng of the pump must be carr�ed out by qual�f�ed personnel and �n accordance w�th the �nstruct�ons on th�s manual and also w�th appl�cable regulat�ons. Before d�smantl�ng, sw�tch off the power supply. All d�smantl�ng process must be done wh�le the power �s OFF. Wa�t unt�l the d�splay �s completely turned off.
Sw�tch off the power to the pump. Wa�t 1 m�nute. D�sconnect the power supply cable. Close the valves on the �nlet and outlet s�de to �solate the pump from water flow. Remove the bolts, nuts, washers and then the pump hous�ng. DISPOSAL For the d�sposal of the pump, author�zed techn�cal serv�ces or related recycl�ng fac�l�t�es can be used.
