Description and function

Description of the product

The circulation pumps in the Wilo-Stratos Star-Z series are coordinated specifically for the operating conditions in domestic hot water circulation systems. Thanks to the choice of materials and design, they are corrosion- resistant to all the constituents in the drinking water. The pump (fig. 1) consists of a hydraulic system and a glandless pump motor with terminal box. All the rotating parts in the glandless pump are in contact with the fluid, this is also true for the motor rotor. A shaft sealing, which is subject to wear, is not necessary. The fluid lubricates the plain bearings and cools the bearing and the rotor. Motor protection is not necessary. Even the maximum overload current cannot damage the motor. The motor is blocking-current proof.

1. Suction port
2. Condensate drain
3. Pump housing
4. Pressure port
5. Terminal box
6. Cable feed-in
7. Speed switch
8. Venting
9. Rating plate
10. Motor housing

Function of the product

Variable speed control (fig. 8)
The pump types Z 25/6 and ZD 25/6 have a rotary knob on the terminal box for manual switching to the three speed stages [1 ­ 2 ­ 3]. The speed in the smallest stage is approx. 40 to 50% of the maximum speed with a reduction of the current consumption to 50%.
Special pump features
For a double pump, the two motor impeller units are fitted identically and are mounted in a common pump housing with integrated switchover valve. Each pump can run individually, but both pumps can also run at the same time in parallel operation. The operating modes are main/standby or parallel/peak-load operation. The individual units can be configured for different capacities. With the double pump, a system can be adapted to individual operating situations. It is necessary to connect a corresponding switchgear for switching-over in order to control the different operating modes.

Installation and electrical connection

| DANGER! Risk of fatal injury! Incorrect installation and improper electrical connections can be life-threatening..
---|---

• The installation and electrical connection may only be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the applicable regulations!
• Adhere to regulations for accident prevention!

Installation

• Only install the pump after all welding and soldering work has been completed and the pipe system has been flushed through.

• Mount the pump in a readily accessible place for easy inspection and dismantling.

• If the pump is installed in a domestic hot water circulation system, a non-return valve must be installed on the pressure side.

• Shut-off valves should be installed upstream and downstream of the pump to facilitate a possible pump replacement.

• Perform installation so that any possible leaking water cannot drip onto the terminal box.

• To do this, align the upper gate valve laterally.

• In thermal insulation work, make sure that the pump motor and the module are not insulated. The condensate-drain openings must remain uncovered (fig. 3, item 2).

• Install the pump with the pump motor horizontal and free from mechanical tension. See fig. 2 for installation positions of the pump.
  

• Direction arrows on the pump housing and the insulation shell (accessories) indicate the direction of flow (fig. 3, item 1).
  

• Use an open-end wrench to secure the pump against twisting (fig. 4).
  

• The motor housing can be twisted after undoing the motor attachment screws if it is necessary to position the terminal box (fig. 5).
  

| Note: In general, turn the motor head before the installation is filled. When turning the motor head in a system that has already been filled, do not pull the motor head out of the pump housing. Turn the motor head with a small amount of pressure on the motor unit so that no water can come out of the pump.
---|---
| CAUTION! Risk of property damage!.
---|---

• Star-Z 25/2 (3~):The motor terminal box must not face downwards or watermay easily enter into it. It may be necessary to turn the motorhousing after the motor fastening screws have beenloosened
• In the case of pumps that have been fitted or retrofitted witha plug-in module, the passage of air to the module must notbe restricted.
• The gasket may be damaged when the motor housing isturned. Replace defective gaskets immediately:Ø 86 x Ø 76 x 2.0 mm EP.

Electrical connection

| DANGER! Risk of fatal injury! Incorrect electrical connections can cause fatal electric shocks.
---|---

• Have the electrical connection set up by an electrician approved by the local electricity supplier only and in accordance with local regulations.

• Disconnect the power supply before any work.

• The current type and voltage of the mains connection must correspond to the details on the rating plate

• The electrical connection must be made in accordance with VDE 0700/part 1 (CH: NIN 2010) via a fixed connecting cable, which is provided with a plug device or an all-pole switch with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm.

• To ensure drip protection and strain relief at the PG screwed connection, a connected load with an adequate outer diameter is necessary (e.g. H05VV-F3G1.5).

• The connection line is to be installed in such a way that it cannot under any circumstances come into contact with the pipe and/or the pump and motor housing.

• Make the mains connection according to fig. 6 and 7:
  
  
  
  
  

• Fig. 6: 1~230 V, blocking-current proof

• Fig. 7: 3~400 V, blocking-current proo

• The connection cable can be taken through the cable feed-in right or left. Exchange dummy plugs and cable feed-in as necessary. When the terminal box is positioned laterally, always arrange the cable feed-in from below (fig. 5).

| CAUTION! Risk of short circuit! Once electrical connection is complete and in order to protect the terminal box from moisture, the terminal box cover must be sealed according to regulations..
---|---

• Earth the pump/installation in accordance with the regulations.
• When connecting automatic switchgears (for double pumps), observe the relevant installation and operating instructions.
  | Note: Double pumps: Provide a separate mains connection cable and a separate fuse on the mains side for both motors of the double pump.
