Read through these instructions completely before attempting installation. Non-observ-ance of the safety instructions can result in risk of injury to persons and damage to pump/unit.

When the installation work is complete, pass on the instructions to the end user.
Keep the instructions near the pump. They can be used as a reference if problems occur later.
We accept no liability for damage resulting from failure to follow these instructions.

Safety information
The following safety information is very important:

Danger : Indicates a danger to life due to electrical voltage.
Warning : Indicates a possible danger to life or injury.
Caution : Indicates possible risks to the pump or other items.
NOTE : Highlights tips and information.

Qualification

Regulations
The current version of the following regulations must be observed when installing the equipment:

Accident prevention regulations
DVGW worksheet W551 (in Germany)
VDE 0370/part1
Other local regulations (e.g. IEC, VDE, etc.)

Conversion, spares
The pump must not be technically modified or converted. Only use original spares.
Transport
Unpack and check the pump and all accessories upon receipt. Report any damage in transit immediately. Despatch the pump in the original packing only.
Power supply
There is a danger of an electric shock when dealing with electricity. Therefore:

switch off the power before working on the pump and make sure that it cannot be switched on again accidentally.
Do not kink or nip the power cable or let it come into contact with heat sources.
The pump has IP 42 drip-proof protection. Protect the pump against water spray. Do not immerse in water or other fluids.

Principle of operation

Application
The pump is intended for pumping drinking or process water in a circulation system.

Functions

Timing function The Star-Z 15 C version also has a cable connec- tion with plug clock timer Page 20.
Valves The Star-Z 15 C, Star-Z 15 A and Star-Z 15 APress versions are equipped with a non-return valve (1) on the discharge side and with a stop valve (2) on the intake side.
To replace the motor head (3, it is sufficient to close the stop valve at rotating slot (4). The motor head can then be simply unscrewed Page 19.

Installation

Mechanical installation

Danger: Before starting work, make sure that the pump has been disconnected from the power supply.

Installation site Provide a weatherproof, frost-free, dust-free and well- ventilated room for the installation. Choose an installation site that is easily accessible.
Caution : Dirt can cause pump failure. Flush the pipe system before installation.
NOTE: In the case of the Star-Z 15 C, Star-Z 15 A and Star-Z 15 APress versions, the stop valve and non-return valve are pre-installed. In the case of the Star-Z 15 version, these valves have to be installed.

Prepare the installation site so that the pump can be installed without being exposed to mechanical stresses.
Choose the right installation position – only as shown in (Fig. A).
The arrow on the back of the housing indi-cates the direction of flow.
Release the cap nut – unscrew it completely if necessary.
Caution: Do not damage the housing seal.Replace damaged seals.
Turn the motor head so that the cable screw connection points downwards.
Caution : If the position is wrong, water can penetrate and destroy the pump.
Tighten the cap nut again.
Turn slot (1) with a screwdriver so that it is parallel to the direction of flow (only in the case of the Star-Z 15 C, Star-Z 15 A and Star-Z 15 APress versions).
NOTE : To close, turn the slot so that it is across the direction of flow.
Fit the thermal insulation shell.
Connect the pipework.

Caution : In the case of the versions with check valve and non-return valve, these are already pre-assembled with a tightening torque of 15 Nm (hand-tight). If the tightening torque is too high, this will destroy the valve screw con-nection and the O-ring.
When installing the valve, use a wrench to pre-vent it from turning!
In the case of the Star-Z 15 APress version, only use Viega pressure clamps. Other pressure clamps would destroy the pump.

Electrical connections

Danger : Only a qualified electrician is allowed to work on the electrical connec-tion.Before making the connection, make sure that the connecting cable is dead.

Install a permanent connecting cable with at 5–8 mm outside diameter with plug device or all-pole switch (with at least 3 mm contact opening width).
Open the connection box.
Guide the connecting cable through the cable connection and strip approximately 5 mm.
Secure the cores with the cable clips:
L phase, N neutral, earth.
Tighten the cable connection firmly.
Close the connection box.

Filling and ventilation

Fill the system.
The pump rotor space vents automatically after a short time in operation.The pump will not be damaged if it runs dry briefly.

Set the time
The timer of the Star-Z 15 C versions can be set as follows:

Turn the time selection wheel (1) in the direc-tion of the arrow to set the current time. Switch the timer on (2) and off (3) on the time selection wheel as required.

Replacing the motor head Page 19.
Order the service motor from the trade.

NOTE :If you cannot remedy the fault, contact the trade.

Fault

Pump does not start.

| Cause| Remedy
---|---|---
Interruption in the power supply, short- circuit or defective fuses.| Have the power supply checked by a qualified electrician.
Timing function has switched off automati- cally (Star-Z 15 C version only).| Check the plug clock timer setting.
Motor is blocked, e.g. through deposits from the water mains.| Have the pump removed by a qualified person

� Page 19.

Check that the impeller can move by turning it and rinse out the dirt that

has accumulated.

Pump makes noises.| Motor scraping, e.g. through deposits from the water mains
Running dry, too little water.| Check the shut-off valves, they must be fully open.
