5.  Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate is the same as the mains data.

5.1  Connecting the intake line

• Fasten the intake hose (plastic hose of at least approx. 19 mm (¾“) with spiral reinforce- ment) to the equipment’s intake connectionof approx. 42 mm (R1¼ male thread) either directly or via a threaded nipple.
• Use the connection adapter (8) to reduce the thread of the intake connection to approx.

33.3 mm (R1 male thread).

• Position the intake line so that it rises from the water withdrawal point to the Avoid positioning the intake line higher than the pump as this would delay the escape ofair bubbles from the intake line and impedethe priming process.
• Install the intake and discharge lines in such a way that they do not exert any mechanical pressure on the
• The intake valve should be low enough in the water to ensure that if the water level falls, theequipment will not run dry.
• A leaking intake line will draw in air and there- fore not draw in any
• Prevent the intake of foreign bodies (sand ). If necessary, install a coarse filter forthis purpose.

5.2  Connecting the discharge line

• The discharge line (at least approx. 19 mm (¾“)) must be connected to the equipment’s discharge line connection of 33.3mm (R1 female thread) either directly or via a threaded nipple.
• Of course you can also use a discharge hose of 13 mm (½“) with the relevant coup-lings. The delivery rate is reduced when using the smaller discharge line.
• During the priming process, the shut-off de-

Uncertainty KWA………………………………………………………………… 2.01 d
Guaranteed sound power level LWA…………………. 78 dB(A)
Protection…………………………………………… PX4
vices (spray nozzles, valves etc.) present in the discharge line must be fully open so that the air in the intake line can escape freely.

• When the pump is being used in automatic mode, make sure that the discharge hosedoes not become kinked. If the hose is con- nected directly to the delivery side, we recom- mend using an angle piece of approx. 33.3 mm (R1 male thread).

5.3  Preparing the pump (Fig. 3)

• Open the ventilation screw (4) so that air can escape when the pump housing is being
• Use the supplied wrench (9) to unscrew the coarse filter cap (3) and then remove thecoarse filter (13). Now you can fill the pump housing with water via the coarse filter cap (3). Filling the intake line will accelerate the priming process.
• Assemble in reverse

5.4  Electrical connection

• The electrical connection needs a shook- proof socket for 220-240 V~ 50 Minimum 10-amp fuse required.
• The motor is protected from overload or blo- ckage by a built-in temperature Thetemperature monitor will switch off the pump automatically if overheating occurs, and it will switch on the equipment again automatically when it has cooled down again.
• Connection of the additional antenna The pump comes with an integrated In most cases the wireless signal of the integrated antenna is strong enough for automatic operati- on. To boost the wireless signal you can use the additional antenna which is included in delivery. This might be required, for example, if the pump is installed in a basement behind thick walls or in a shed lined with metal sheeting. The antenna is best positioned outside the space with the shielding effect. Insert the end of the supplied additional antenna (10) into the pump’s antennaconnection (11) and screw the union nut in place until it is hand-tight (Fig. 4). The pump will now use the external additional antenna.

5.6  Controlling the pump using the app

You can use the app to call up numerous setting options for your pump and to view its perfor- mance data. Manual remote control is possible on the basis of a defined work period or in SMART mode. The app presents you with error messages and warnings during operation.

5.6.1  Downloading the app

First download the Einhell app for your pump onto your smart-phone. The Einhell app is available via the following link and QR code:

iOS: http://qr.einhell.com/12e103ce

Android: http://qr.einhell.com/176c0443

5.6.2  Registering the pump

The pump comes with an IoT function (IoT = In- ternet of Things). It uses an integrated SIM chip to connect to the available mobile network, making it independent of Bluetooth or WLAN. In the first
5 years you will not be charged anything for using the pump in the mobile network; these costs are covered by the purchase price. Information about the remaining period of use and the possibility of an extension can be consulted in the app. In the factory default state the function is deactivated; the pump will try to connect to the network, indi- cated by the network LED blinking blue (Fig. 5/ Item C). To activate your pump, follow the instruc- tions in the app.
After successful registration and connection with the network, the network LED will light up blue (Fig. 5/Item C) and the app’s diverse setting op- tions and functions will be available for you to use. Make sure that both the pump and your smart- phone have a secure internet connection once you have made any settings in the app. For the pump to be operated automatically within a pro- grammed work period, the only requirement is for the pump to be connected with the internet.

5.6.3  Resetting the registration

If the blue LED (Fig. 5/Item C) lights up con- tinuously when your pump is started for the first time, this is because the pump has been
registered already. The pump must be reset and registered with your data. Make sure you have your pump’s purchase receipt and serial number ready to hand and get in touch with our customer service center .

6.  Operation

6.1  LED indicator (Fig. 5)

• Status LEDs

The current operating status is signaled via the LED indicator (Fig. 5/Item B).

Yellow is lit:

The pump is connected to the power supply.

Yellow and green are lit:

The pump is in operation and starts up as soon as a consumer is opened for drawing off pumped medium.

Yellow is blinking:

The pump is building up pressure (e.g. a water tap is closed) and then switches off automatically.

Yellow, green and red are lit:

The pump is running dry without any pumped medium. The pump will make 3 attempts to elimi- nate the dry running before the dry running guard finally trips.

Yellow and red are lit:

The dry running guard has tripped; it is no longer possible to draw in the pumped medium. Use the troubleshooting instructions to find the cause of the fault (e.g. a leaking intake line) and rectify it. Then press the RESTART button (Fig. 5/Item A) to reactivate the pump.

6.1.2  Network LED

The pump uses the network LED (Fig. 5/Item C) to signal its network status.

Blue is blinking:

The pump is searching for a connection to the network.

Blue is lit:

The pump is connected to the network.

6.2  Operating the pump

The pump has numerous operating modes, which means that you can put the pump into operation in different ways. You can use the app to call up numerous setting options for your pump and to view its performance data. The app also presents you with error messages and warnings during operation.
You can operate the pump manually at its control panel as well as by using the app. When the pump is started independently of the operating mode, the pump will be set to an automatic domestic water system mode. Regardless of the mode being used, the pump will always switch on when the discharge side is open, and it will switch off again automatically when no pumped medium is discharged.
The current operating status is signaled via the LED indicator (Fig. 5/Item B) (see the chapter “LED indicator”).
The flow and discharge switch cannot be adjus- ted or activated, it is fully automatic.

Priming process

The pump is started in one of the operating mo- des and immediately begins to run. The pump will make 3 attempts to eliminate the dry running before the dry running guard finally trips.
During operation the pump will build up pres- sure and will switch off automatically when the discharge line is closed. When the pressure in the discharge line drops, e.g. because a shut-off mechanism is opened, the pump will switch on again.

6.2.1  Manual operation

The pump can be switched on and off manually at any time using the RESTART button (Fig. 5/ Item A). This does not require the pump to be re- gistered. There is no way of setting the maximum running time of the pump in this mode.

6.2.2  Remote control using the app

The pump can be switched on and off manually by means of the app and your smart-phone. A start or stop command is then sent to the pump via the network.

6.2.3  Time schedule using the app

You can use the app to operate your pump on the basis of a set work period. The pump thenreceives a start or stop command for the set work period via the network. Make sure that the pump has a reliable network connection.
If the network connection is interrupted, the pump will continue to run until it shuts down automati- cally after a selected maximum running time.

6.2.4  SMART mode using the app

The pump’s SMART mode enables automatic watering. The use of SMART mode requires a number of specific data.

For the pump to be able to determine how much pumped medium is generally required within a specific length of time you must first run the pump manually or by means of a time schedule on the app. The general requirement is based on the pump’s flow rate.
Also needed are location-specific weather data in order to determine the optimum watering time. Proceed by entering the pump’s location in the app.
Once you have entered the data in the app, SMART mode will show a progress indicator telling you how much data still needs to be collec- ted. As soon as the pump has collected enough data, it will be ready to take over responsibility for the watering itself.

6.3  Maximum running time

The maximum running time begins when the pump receives a start command. The start com- mand must be given manually or automatically via the app. It is irrelevant whether the pump is actually pumping or not. If the user does not issue a stop command, the pump will switch off auto- matically at the end of the set running time.
Important! – If the pump is started manually at the pump by pressing the RESTART button (Fig. 5/Item A), the maximum running time setting will not apply. As long as no stop command is issued, the pump will run continuously.
Important! – The currently expired running time will be reset with each start command via the app. This can be done manually or automatically via the app.

6.4  Temperature monitoring

The pump monitors the temperature of the pum- ped medium; this function is active independently of the operating mode. If the temperature moni- toring function triggers, the LED indicator (Fig. 5/ Item B) will blink red and the pump will switch off. The temperature of the pumped medium was too low or too high. Wait for the pumped medium to reach the permissible operating temperature. You can restart the pump by means of the RESTART button (Fig. 5/Item A) or via the app.
The maximum temperature of the pumped medi- um must not exceed +35 °C when the equipment is operated permanently.

6.5  Error messages and warnings

Check the app at regular intervals for error mes- sages and warnings. You will receive error mes- sages, warnings and push notifications on your smart-phone. This can be stopped by altering the notification settings in the app. Make sure that the background data of the Einhell app are activated on your smart- phone and that your smart-phone has an active internet connection. You can locate and eliminate the error (e.g. a leak in the intake line) by consulting the operating manual and

the troubleshooting instructions. Then press the RESTART button (Fig. 5/Item A) or acknowledge the error message in the app in order to restart the pump.
