  • Page 47 Tips & Tricks Instead of setting the flow rate for the system using a flow rate limiter, it is better to adjust the flow rate using the switch on the pump and by means of the “max. speed” setting on the controller (see 6.3.4). This saves electricity! The service values (see 8.) include not only current measurement values and operating states, but also all of the settings for the controller.

    Malfunctions Replacing the fuse Repairs and maintenance may only be performed by a specialist. Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again! Check for the absence of power! Danger Only use the supplied spare fuse or fuses of the same design with the following specifications: T2A / 250V .
