INSTALLATION

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

• During the entire process of installation, the device must not be connected to the elec-trical mains.
• The pump should be installed in a dry place with an ambient temperature not to exceed 40 °C and not to fall below 5 °C. The pump and the entire connection system have to be protect-ed from frost and other climatic influences.
• When installing the device, please make sure that the motor is sufficiently ventilated.

All connection lines have to be perfectly tight since leaking lines may affect the performance of the pump and cause considerable damage. Therefore, please use Teflon tape to seal the contact surfaces between the threaded sections of the lines and the connection with the pump. This use of sealing material such as Teflon tape is the only way to ensure an airtight assembly. When tightening threaded connections, please do not apply excessive force which may cause damage. When laying the connection pipes, you should make sure that the pump is not exposed to any form of weight, vibration or tension. Moreover, the connection lines must not contain any kinks or an adverse slope. Please observe the illustrations, too, which are contained in the present operating instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.

INSTALLATION OF THE SUCTION LINE

The intake of the suction line has to be equipped with a check valve 3A (or non-return valve) and an intake filter.

It is mandatory to install a second non-return valve 3B between the suction pipe and the pump.

This valve prevents leakage on the suction line causes continuous operation of the pump. Please use a suction line (1) having the same diameter as the suction port (6) of the pump. If the suction height (HA) exceeds 4 m, however, it is recommendable to use a 25% larger diameter – including appropriate reducer elements for the connectors. The intake of the suction line has to be equipped with a check valve 3A – or non-return valve – and an intake filter (2). The filter will keep away larger dirt particles contained in the water which might clog or even damage the piping. The check valve will prevent the pressure to escape after the pump has cut out. Moreover, it simplifies the venting of the suction line by enabling water to be filled in. The check valve with the intake filter – i.e. the entirety of the intake section of the suction port – must be immersed by at least 0.3 m below the surface of the liquid to be pumped (HI). This will prevent air from being taken in. In addition, please ensure a sufficient distance of the suction line from both the ground and the sides of water courses, rivers, ponds etc in order to prevent stones, plants etc from being sucked in. It is mandatory to install a check valve between the suction pipe and the inlet of the pump. This non- return valve prevents back pressure in the suction pipe.

INSTALLATION OF THE PRESSURE LINE

The pressure line (4) conveys the liquids to be discharged from the pump to the point of withdrawal. To avoid dynamic flow losses, one should use a pressure line having at least the same diameter as the pressure port (7) of the pump. Also, to facilitate maintenance work, it is recommendable to install a shut-off cock (5) after the pump and check valve. This is a useful feature since it can be closed when the pump has to be dismantled and will thus prevent the pressure line from draining to empty.

STATIONARY INSTALLATION

• With regard to the electrical connection in the case of stationary installation, please ensure adequate visibility and accessibility of the plug.

For stationary installation, please fasten the pump on a suitable, solid surface. To reduce vibration, it is recommended to apply an anti-vibration material – for instance, a rubble layer – between the pump and the installation surface (16).

USING THE PUMP FOR GARDEN PONDS AND SIMILAR PLACES

• Operating the pump next to garden ponds and similar places is generally only admissible if no persons are in contact with the water.
• The use of the pump as a recycling pump or as a closed circuit pump is prohibited.

If the pump is used for garden ponds and similar places it has to be operated using a residual current circuit-breaker (FI switch) with a nominal trigger current of ≤ 30mA. Please ask your electrical services provider whether your installation site complies with this condition. The pump must not be used in such locations unless it is set up firmly and flood-proof, a minimum distance of two metres away from the border of the water body and secured against falling into the water by a solid holding device. For this purpose the device is to be bolted down firmly to the ground at the fastening points provided (please refer to the chapter titled “Stationary installation”).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by qualified staff to avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp edges.
• The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical connection is earthed in compliance with the applicable standards.
• The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit-breaker (FI switch) : Δ = 30 mA.
• Only use an extension cable with a cable section (3 x 1.0 mm²) and rubber sheath that at least corresponds to that of the unit’s own connection cable (see “Technical data”, cable type) and which is labelled with the relevant abbreviation according to the VDE (German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). The mains plug and other connections must be splash-proof.

PUTTING INTO OPERATION

• Pay attention to the illustrations in this manual. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.
• Prior to putting the pump into operation for the very first time, the pump housing should be fully vented – i.e. filled with water – even in the case of self-priming units. If this venting is omitted, the pump will not suck in the liquid to be discharged. It is highly recommendable, yet not mandatory, to vent the intake line as well, i.e. to fill it with water.
• The pump must only be operated in the performance range indicated on the type plate.

Dry-running – i.e. operating the pump without discharging water – is to be avoided since the absence of water may cause the pump to run hot. This may cause considerable damage on the device. Moreover, this means that very hot water will be enclosed within the system so that there is a hazard of scalding. If the pump has run hot, please pull off the mains plug and allow the system to cool down.

• Please do not expose the pump to moisture (e.g. when operating sprinklers). Do not expose the unit to rain, either. Make sure that no dripping connections are located above the pump. The pump should not be used in wet or moist environments. Make sure that the pump and the electrical plug connections are arranged in a flood-proof place.
• The pump must not be running with the feeder line closed. As long as the device is connected to the electrical mains, one must never reach with one’s hands into the opening of the pump. Each time the pump is put into operation, please make sure that the pump is set up securely and firmly standing. The unit must always be positioned upright on an even surface. Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connection line and the mains plug. Make sure that all screws are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition of all connections. A damaged pump must not be used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified service staff. Prior to the first time the pump is put into operation, the pump housing (10) has to be fully vented. To do so, please fill the pump housing (10) through the filling opening (8) completely with water. Please check to make sure that no leakage occurs. Subsequently, close the filling opening airtight again. It is highly recommended to vent the suction line (2) as well, i.e. to fill it with water. In this case, however, the pump will require some time before it will have sucked in the liquid to be pumped and proceed to the actual discharging function. In addition, this way of proceeding may require the pump to be filled several times. This depends on the length and diameter of the suction line. After filling, please open any shutting device (5) in the pressure line, for instance a water tap, to enable the air to escape during sucking in.
  Plug the mains plug into a 220-240V AC socket. If the pump is equipped with a switch ’ ON position. The pump will start running immediately. As soon as the liquid is being discharged evenly and without air mixture, the system is ready for operation. You may then close the shutoff valve in the pressure line again. The pump will cut out upon reaching the cut-out pressure. If the pump was out of operation for some extended period of time, the steps described above have to be repeated for a renewed putting into operation.

ANTI DRY-RUNNING FEATURE (NOT SUPPLIED)

We recommend adding an anti-dry-running feature. This protection system prevents the pump from damage which may be caused by its operation with an insufficient water level or by an overheating of the hydraulic system.

SETTING THE PRESSURE SWITCH

Changing the preset cut-in and cut-out pressure must only be done by qualified staff.

The electrical pumps of the SPIDO series will cut in as soon as the cut-in pressure is reached as a result of a pressure drop occurring within the system – as a rule, by opening of a faucet or any other consumer element. Cutting-out occurs after the consumer element concerned has been shut off and the pressure in the system has increased again to reach the cut-out pressure. The pressure switch is an ex-factory set (see 2. Technical data). Experience has shown that these values are ideally suited for most installations. Should any modification of these settings be required, please contact your installation or electrical specialist. Any change in the pressure switch setting must be accompanied by an adjustment of the tank air pressure (0.2 bar less than the starting pressure).

PREFILTER (NOT INCLUDED)

Abrasive matters contained in the liquid being discharged – such as sand – accelerate wear and tear and reduce the performance of the pump. When discharging liquids containing such matters, the installation of a prefilter is recommended. This useful accessory it will efficiently filter sand and similar particles out of the liquids, thus minimising wear and tear and extending the lifetime of the pump. The proper functioning of the filter should be checked on a regular basis. If necessary, please clean and replace the filter mesh.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

• Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the pump.
• We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims. Regular maintenance and thorough care will reduce the danger of possible malfunction and contribute to an extension of the lifetime of your unit.
• If you notice that the pump runs continuously without stopping, beyond one minute after closing the valves: check that the pressure reached on the pressure gauge is higher than the switch stop setting.
  • YES > contactor problem> contact your dealer
  • NO > Disconnect the pump from the mains and see if the pressure drops by itself while the valves are closed.
  • YES> The pump is not in question and there is a leak on the suction column that is not watertight (return to the well – leak on pipe or check valve missing or defective) or backflow.
  • NO> The pump is worn or clogged> contact your dealer.

If you suddenly notice that your booster has ran continuously without interruption (more than 30 minutes), to avoid any risk of burns or breakage of an accessory:

1. Open the taps to relieve the pressure in the circuit
2. Turn off the pump and allow it to cool
3. Check the installation of the pump: suction line sealing and other accessories, proper operation of the pressure switch.

To prevent possible malfunction, it is recommended to check the occurring pressure and energy consumption at regular intervals. Also, the pre-pressure (atmospheric pressure) in the pressure tank should be checked regularly. To do so, please separate the pump from mains, then open any consumer component in the pressure line – for instance, a water tap – to release the pressure from the hydraulic system. Subsequently, unscrew the protection cap of the tank valve (17). On the tank valve, please use a pressure gauge to check the pre- pressure. It should read cut-in pressure -0.2b (ex: 2-0,2=1,8bar), otherwise it has to be corrected. If any water is leaking out of the tank valve, the membrane is defective and should be replaced. If the device is not in use over some extended period of time, both the pump and the pressure tank should be emptied using the devices provided for this purpose. Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable damage. Please store the pump in a dry, frost-protected place. In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or some other reason that cannot be attributed to a defect of the device – for instance, a power failure. The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their elimination. All the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from the electrical mains. If you feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact the customer service department or your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff. Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for any ensuing damage.
