Description of pump/accessories

Products delivered

• Complete pump
• 2 flat gaskets,
• Installation and operating instructions

Pump description
In the wet-running pump, all rotating parts are surrounded by the flow medium, including the motor rotor.
A shaft seal, which would be subject to wear and tear, is not required. The pumping medium lubricates the friction bearing and cools both the bearing and rotor.
No motor overload protection is required.
Even the maximum overload current cannot damage the motor. The motor operates non-overloading.
Speed setting (Fig. 8)
The speed of the pump can be adjusted with a 3-position rotary button. In position 3 the speed is approx. 40…50 % of the maximum speed with the power consumption being reduced to 50 %.
Particular features of the pumps Double pumps contain two identically constructed pump heads in a common pump housing with an integrated change-over flap. Each pump can run in a single mode, and both pumps can also run simultaneously in parallel mode. The operating modes are main/reserve operation or incremental/peak-load operation. The pump heads can be selected in different capacities. Double pumps are suitable for adapting a pipe system to suit individual load characteristics. The S2R 3D control unit must be connected to control the different operating modes.
The ST… and RSG… pumps are pumps with special hydraulics for use in solar thermal systems (Type ST…) or geothermal systems (Type RSG…).
The AC 20/…-I(O) pump is an air conditioning pump with a plastic (composite) pump housing for use in air-conditioning units and cold-water distribution.
In the AC ../..-I:
(I = inline) pump the pump housing is designed „inline“-, i. e. suction and pressure connections are in line.
The AC ../..-O:
(O = offline) the pump is equipped with axial suction and radial discharge connection.
Accessories
Accessories must be ordered separately.

• Inserts for the pipe connection of the screwed-pipe pump.
• S2R 3D switchgear for the double pump.
• Thermal insulating units for later insulation of the ST/RSG 25 pump.

Assembly/Installation

Installation
ATTENTION
Installation and service by qualified personnel only!

• Assembly should only take place once all welding and soldering work and the rinsing of the pipe network have been completed. Dirt can have an adverse effect on the functioning of the pump.
• The pump must be installed in an easily accessible position to facilitate inspection or replacement.
• It is recommended that shut-off devices be fitted before and after the pump. This will save having to drain and refill the system if the pump needs replacing. The fittings are to be installed so that any water that escapes cannot drip onto the pump motor or terminal box.
• When installed into the flow pipe of an open-vented system, the open safety vent must be connected to the system on the inlet side of the pump.
• The pump is to be mounted with the shaft in the horizontal plane in such a way that it is not stressed by the pipework. (Installation positions in Fig. 2).
• An arrow on the pump casing indicates the direction of flow (Fig. 3, pos.1).
• Secure the pump against twisting by using a spanner (Fig. 4).
• In order to attain the correct terminal box position the motor housing can be turned once the motor fastening screws have been loosened (Fig. 5).

ATTENTION: Do not damage the flat gasket. If necessary use a new gasket: Ø 86 x Ø 76 x 2.0 mm EP.
ATTENTION: For units that are to be insulated, only the pump housing may be insulated. The motor and condensate openings must remain free (Fig. 3, pos. 2).
Electrical connection
Electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified and licensed electrician in strict conformity to ruling national conditions and local regulations (e.g. VDE regulations in Germany).

• According to Part 1 of the VDE 0730, the pump must be connected to the electrical supply by a solid wire equipped with a plug connection or an all-pole switch. The width of the contact gap must be at least 3 mm.
• To guarantee protection against dripping water and the strain relief of the PG screwed joint, a connecting cable of suitable external diameter is to be used (e.g. H 05 VV-F 3 G 1.5).
• When using the pump in units where the water temperature exceeds 90 °C, a connecting cable with corresponding heat resistance must be used.
• The supply cable must be laid in such a way that it never touches the pipework and/or the pump and motor casing.
• Check that the mains current and voltage comply with the data on the rating plate.
• Make a mains connection as shown in Fig. 6.
• The connecting cable can be fed through the PG screwed joint either to the left or right. If necessary, the blind plug and PG screwed joint are to be exchanged. If the terminal box is positioned on the side, always insert the PG screwed joint from below (Fig. 5)

Caution risk of short-circuit!
After electrical connections the terminal box cover must be closed properly, to protect against moisture.

• The pump/installation must be earthed in compliance with regulations.
• When connecting automatic switchgear (for double pumps), follow the appropriate Installation and Operating Instructions.

Operation

System filling and venting
The pump may need venting e.g. if the heating and pump are working but the heating element remains cold. If there is air in the pump chamber, the pump will not pump water.
Carefully fill the unit with water.
Solar thermal systems must be filled with ready-for-use mixtures. The pump must not be used to mix the medium in the system.
The pump is normally vented automatically after a short operational period. Short-term dry running will not damage the pump. If it becomes necessary to vent the pump, please observe the following procedure:

• Switch off the pump,

Risk of burning if the pump is touched!
Depending on the operating condition of the pump and/or installation (fluid temperature) the pump/motor can become very hot.

• Close the valve on the discharge side.

Risk of scalding!
Depending on the fluid temperature and the system pressure, if the vent screw is completely loosened hot liquid or vapor can escape or even shoot out at high pressure.

• Carefully loosen and fully remove the vent plug with a suitable screwdriver (Fig. 9).
• Carefully push the pump shaft back several times with a screwdriver.
• Protect all electrical parts from leaking water.
• Switch-on pump.

ATTENTION
It is possible that the pump blocks with the vent plug open, depending on the system pressure.

• After 15…30 s tighten the vent plug.
• Re-open isolating valve,

Speed setting
If the rooms cannot be sufficiently heated, the speed of the pump may be too low. In this case, you will need to switch to a higher speed.
If, on the other hand, the pump is set at too high a speed, flow noise may occur in the lines and in particular at throttled thermostatic valves. This can be rectified by switching to a lower speed.
The speed is changed by means of a rotary button at the terminal box. 3 represents the lowest and 1 the highest speed.

Maintenance

Prior to maintenance or repair work switch off the pump and secure it against unauthorized switching.

Problems, Causes, and Remedies

The motor is switched on but fails to run:

• Check electrical fuses,
• Check the voltage of the pump (observe rating plate data),
• Check capacitor size (observe rating plate data!).
• The motor is blocked, e.g. by deposits from the heating water.
• Remedies: Fully remove the vent plug, check and if necessary rectify the free running of the pump rotor by turning the slotted end of the shaft with a screwdriver (Fig. 9). At high water temperatures and system pressure close isolating valves before and after the pump. First, allow the pump to cool down

Noisy pump operation

• Cavitation due to insufficient inlet pressure.
• Remedies: increase system pressure within the permissible range.
• Check the speed setting, if necessary switch to a lower speed.

If the fault cannot be rectified, contact your nearest WILO Customer Service.
