INTRODUCTION 1.1 DAVEY MONSOON IQ BOOSTER PUMP SYSTEM The Monsoon IQ booster pump system is a fully integrated package which allows for greater control of a variable speed drive pumpset. The large screen with touch interface is intuitive to operate and makes vital data and key information easy to read. The user interface communicates with the variable speed drives to sustain a desired output pressure by varying the speed and consequent output from each pump.

Davey to successfully register the product on Davey’s Monsoon IQ Cloud. This is required regardless of use. When you order the system, Davey will be ask for various details including contact details for a site Administrator that will be able to control the system and receive potential system alerts, and an installation name.
4.2 HANDLING Our standard crates are not designed for independent crane lifting. Depending on the size and model of the unit, it may have lifting eyelets welded on the channel steel base – in this case it is permissible to lift the unit by slinging through these eyelets, taking all the necessary precautions to ensure correct balance and prevention of damage to the pumps and pipework etc.
Units without lifting eyelets on the base must be lifted in a suitable container as per Figure 5b below. Figure 5b. LIFTING DIAGRAM (pumpset in cage) Please consult Davey for lifting advice if necessary or for customisation at the design stage to suit your requirements 5. INSTALLATION Prior to installation remove any red transport plugs &...
The Monsoon IQ should be installed in a room ensuring the appropriate ventilation for cooling of the motors and control unit and shelter from environmental elements where appropriate. The system must have at least 1 metre clearance on one side of the booster. This space is required for maintenance, inspection and dismantling.
5.3 FOUNDATION The unit should be bolted to an even solid surface (e.g. concrete slab) of suitable strength and proportions matching the weight and size of the unit. 5.4 VIBRATION DAMPENING Vibration elimination and noise reduction should be considered. The Monsoon IQ booster system may generate noise and vibration due to the rotation of the motors, pumps, the flow of water through various orifices/valves and harmonics generated from the motor and variable speed drives.
Monsoon IQ to operate correctly. If rotation is incorrect the phases must be swapped to correct rotation by a suitable qualified person in accordance with local regulations. Rotation for Davey VM vertical multistage pumps should be counter clockwise looking at the fan end of the motor.
5.5.3 3G MOBILE DATA ANTENNA The standard Davey Monsoon IQ system comes with a 3G antenna to allow the built in modem to access the internet and Davey Monsoon IQ cloud. The antenna should be installed in an area where there is good mobile phone reception and should be installed pointing upwards.
16 bar Supercell pressure tank -- either a 24018PHP16 (18 L capacity ) or a 24080PHP16 (80 L capacity). The table below provides the tank minimum requirements if Davey VM vertical multistage pumps make up the pumpset. PUMP MODEL...
6.3 RAPIDLY CHANGING (UNPREDICTABLE FLOW) DEMANDS The requirements for pressure tanks described above are the minimum standards to make the Davey Monsoon IQ operate correctly under common circumstances. There are many circumstances, due to the hydraulic nature of each connection, where a greater volume of pressure tanks is required.
96 litres. (96 litres should be rounded up to the !.!" tank size or sizes that are available to suit. In this case, it would be a Davey 100 litre tank if maximum pressure was under 10 bar) This calculation does not allow for the take up from the pumpset during the ramp up but if we discount this, it allows for an appropriate buffer.

This system provides much smoother hydraulic performance with varying flows than systems which simply bring on line (or remove) additional pumps to match demand. This process can be illustrated by referring to Figure 8 below. A table explaining the terms used follows -- Figure 8.
7.2 STARTING THE SYSTEM Before applying power to the system ensure that all on site external electrical wiring is correct as per the wiring diagram and that it complies with the relevant local codes and regulations. Before starting the system ensure that all external pipework connected to the unit is complete, secure and the position of all valving is understood prior to commencing line filling 7.3 THE CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW...

7.5.1 CONTROL MODES 7.5.1.1 MANUAL MODE The Monsoon IQ can run in manual mode and with this feature the pump speed can be set by the user for easy manual control. Switching the master switch on and off triggers a question as to whether the system should run in set point mode or manual mode.

We recommend at least two minutes on top of the calculated time, however this may require minor adjustment based on experience.
7.6 FILLING OR PRIMING VM PUMPS 7.6.1 PUMP IN FLOODED SUCTION 1. After pumpset installation is complete and you have access to a water supply 2. Close the discharge valves on all pumps. 3. Unscrew the bleed plug fitted to pump heads 4.
Page 26
7.6.3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR OTHER STYLE PUMPS 1. After installation is complete, shut the discharge valve. If a master discharge valve has been fitted to the system, this also should be shut. 2. Fill the pump/s, suction and discharge lines with water via the priming ports. On flooded suction simply open the suction valve to the pumps.
DO NOT USE petroleum based fluids or solvents (e.g. oils, kerosene, turpentine, thinners, etc.) on the plastic or seal components. In accordance with AS/NZS 60335.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that this pump is not to be used by children or infirm persons and must not be used as a toy by children.

Past messages are stored unless they are reset, and new messages are flagged via the icon (item 8 Figure 17) on the top right of the pad which turns red if there is a system message waiting.
Figure 20. MESSAGES SCREEN If the message is displayed as a fault, the operator can leave a manual note about the rectification or findings from the investigation and save this against the fault as a log. Once you have logged text, the “clear fault” button will mark the fault as both “read” and fixed. The system will attempt to start the pump again.

Figure 35. FLOW SWITCH SCHEMATIC 12.2 RAINBANK A water harvesting feature known as Davey Rainbank® is available. This can only be ordered as a complete system from Davey. The complete system comes with the appropriate solenoid and float switch pre-wired. To install this option, the float switch is required in the actual rainwater tank.
12.3 FLOAT SWITCH A separate dedicated digital input is available for the float switch. This feature is used by connecting a normally open float switch that is rated for 24V DC current to terminal 15 on each drive on each pump (i.e. P1, P2, etc). This terminal is connected to terminal 12 (the 24V DC supply) through the float switch to activate the digital input.
12.5 BMS STATUS INDICATION The monsoon IQ can also have System Fault and “OK” status connected to a DDC on the BMS system. Moreover, if individual pump status is required this can also be achieved. The status indicators are simply relay outputs that are available on each drive. Should you require system fault and “OK”...
13. RECOMMENDED SPARES The following is a list of recommended spare parts which should ensure minimum system downtime in the unlikely event of a failure. The following table considers the potential needs for a VM multistage unit over a 2 year and 5 year period together with special consideration for a remote site where transportation is difficult.
Low pressure alarm is set too high Low pressure alarm should be below wake up level and consider the pump curve. Contact Davey if you need assistance. Table 7. TROUBLE SHOOTING TABLE...
