BRITTHERM DP15 Domestic Pro Heating Pumps Domestic
Please read these instructions carefully before installation
General Information
These instructions guide you through the installation and operation of this Brit Therm TM central heating circulator. The Domestic Pro is a high efficiency circulator which is perfectly suited to operate in:
- Single zone heating systems
- Multi zone heating systems
- Underfloor heating systems
The pump incorporates a permanent magnet motor with differential pressure
control which enables its performance to be aligned with actual system demand.
It has a connection size of 1 ½” , a maximum head of 6 metres and a port to
port distance of 130 mm making it perfect for domestic applications.
Pump Liquid & Operating Conditions
Brit Therm™ pumps require clean, thin, non-aggressive liquids to operate
correctly and prevent damage to their internal components. The liquids used
must not contain any solid particles, fibres or mineral oil.
Liquids running through circulation pumps used on heating systems must comply
with the accepted standards of quality especially in domestic applications.
Liquids that do not comply will void the warranty offered with the circulation
pump.

Installation
Attention : Ensure the pump is installed with the motor shaft in the horizontal position.
Attention :The pump liquid may be scalding hot and under pressure. Before removing head screws the system either requires draining, or the pump needs to be isolated.
Gaskets
Attention: Fit the two gaskets when the pump is mounted correctly between the flow and return pipes.
Venting
Attention: The pump liquid may be scalding hot and under pressure so proceed with caution when bleeding the pump.

Pressure Curve
Operating Modes
I (Minimum) – the pump runs at a constant fixed speed and therefore on a
constant curve.
II (Medium) – the pump runs at a constant fixed speed and therefore on a
constant curve.
Ill (Maximum) – the pump runs at a constant fixed speed and therefore on
a constant curve.
Quick venting of the pump can be achieved using speed Ill for a short period.
AUTO – the power rises and falls in line with the system flow rate. Ex
– factory setting.
Night Mode – the pump reduces power automatically.
After 2 hours it drops to its minimum level (5-10 Watts). After 7 hours the
pump reverts to its original setting
PPI (Proportional Pressure I) – the duty point moves up/down on the
lowest proportional pressure curve. Head pressure is then reduced and
increased at falling and rising heating demand respectively.
PP2 (Proportional Pressure 2) – the duty point moves up/down on the
highest proportional pressure curve. Head pressure is then reduced and
increased at falling and rising heating demand respectively.
CPI (Constant Pressure I) – the duty point of the pump moves out or in
the constant pressure curve depending on heating demand.
Head pressure remains constant irrespective of heating demand. CP2 (Constant
Pressure 2) – the duty point of the pump moves out or in the constant pressure
curve depending on heating demand. Head pressure remains constant irrespective
of heating demand.
Fault Finding
Before starting any work on the pump please ensure the electricity supply is turned off and cannot be accidentally switched back on at any time.
Fault | Control Panel | Cause | Remedy |
---|---|---|---|
Pump doesn’t run at all | Light is off | A) One fuse is blow |
B) The current/voltage operated circuit breaker has tripped out C) The pump is
defective| Replace fuse Cut in the circuit break Replace pump
| Only shows power| A) Failure of electricity supply, might be too low| Check
the supply falls within the specified range
Noise in the system| Light on for power and pump setting| A) Air in the
system
B) The flow is too high| Vent the system Reduce the suction head
Noise in the pump| Light on for power and pump settings| A) Air in pump
B) Inlet pressure is too low| Let the pump run, it vents itself over time
Increase the inlet pressure. Check the air volume in the expansion tank if
installed
Insufficient| Light on for power and pump settings| A) Pump performance
is too low| Increase the suction head
