Description and operation

Pump description

Pump
The circulating pump is fitted with a wet (canned rotor) motor.
The circulating water service pump Stratos ECO-Z 25/1-5 is specially designed for use in conjunction with domestic/drinking water service systems. It is by material selection and design, corrosion proofed against any residual, parts in domestic/drinking water.
For thermal insulation the pump housing is lagged with an insulation shell.
The motor housing is with an electronic control module (Item 1) capable of maintaining the pump generated differential pressure constant at a preset value between 1 and 3 m, or 1 and 5 m. Pump capacity is thus matched to the changing load demand which is particularly significant when using thermostatic control valves. WILO Stratos ECO-ST 25-1-5 RG Pump 04 The essential advantages and benefits are:

no bypass relief valves required,
power savings,
reduction of flow noise.

Control mode:
Variable differential pressure (Δp-v): The differential pressure setpoint levels being proportionally increased between ½H and H over the permissible flow range. The pump-generated differential pressure will thus be controlled to the respective level.
The pump automatically responds to the night setback of the central heating installation by electronic evaluation from a temperature sensor. The pump will then switch to the minimum speed. On renewed boiler heat up the pump will switch back to the previously adjusted setpoint level. WILO Stratos ECO-ST
25-1-5 RG Pump 03 The night set-back control can be switched off (Item 2):

auto: Night setback ON, control operation to the preselected setpoint value and automatic, temperature-activated night setback (additional power savings).
Night setback OFF, control operation to the preselected setpoint value.
Factory setting: Night setback OFF.
NOTE:
In the case of insufficient heating/cooling capacity of the installation (too low a heat transfer) it must be checked whether the night setback control is on. In this case it must be switched off.

Operating elements:

Dial knob for the differential pressure setpoint (Fig. 1, Item 2).
Setting range:
- Stratos ECO 25(30)/1-3: Hmin = 1 m, Hmax = 3 m
- Stratos ECO 25(30)/1-5: Hmin = 1 m, Hmax = 5 m
- Stratos ECO-Z 25/1-5: Hmin = 1 m, Hmax = 5 m

Installation and electrical connection

Installation and electrical connection should be carried out in accordance with local regulations and only by qualified personnel!
WARNING! Risk of personal injury!
The relevant accident precaution regulations must be observed.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock!
Potential dangers caused by electrical energy must be excluded.
Local or general regulations [e.g. IEC etc.] and directives from local energy supply companies are to be followed.

Installation

Install pump only after completion of all welding/soldering and after the pipe system had been thoroughly flushed out.
Mount the pump in an easily accessible location in order to facilitate later inspections or exchange.
When installed in the flow pipe of an open-vented system, the safety vent must be connected on the inlet side of the pump.
Isolating valves should be provided and installed at both suc-tion and discharge ports of the pump in order to facilitate a possible pump exchange. They must be located in such a way to prevent valve spindle leakage from spilling onto the con-trol module (upper valve turned sideways).
Install pump free of stress and with the motor shaft horizon-tally located. For module locations. Other arrangements on request.
Directional arrows on pump body and the insulation shell indicate the direction of flow.
If the mounting location of the module is to be altered, turn the motor housing as follows:
- Unclip insulation shell with the aid of a screwdriver and remove,
- undo the 2 Allen screws,
- turn motor housing including control module.
CAUTION! Risk of damage to the pump!
When turning on the motor housing the gasket may be damaged. Replace damaged gaskets immediately.
Size of gasket: ∅86 mm OD x ∅76 mm ID x2,0 mm thick, EP.
- Reset and fix Allen screws,
- refit insulation shell.

Electrical connection

WARNING! Risk of electric shock!
Electrical connection must be carried out by an electrical installer authorised by the local power supply company in accordance with the applicable local regulations.

Power supply must correspond to name plate data.
Power wiring to be in accordance with Fig. 4:
- power connections: L, N, PE.
- max. line fuse: 10 A, slow action.
- The connecting cable can optionally be lead through the cable gland on either right or left. The gland and the blank plug (PG 11) must than be changed.
- Strictly comply with local earthing regulations.
All wiring and external switchgear to comply with local regulations (use of conduits, switch air gaps and allpole switches) in strict accordance with locally ruling regulations.
The incoming power cable must be of sufficiently large sized to maintain protection from moisture ingress and to ensure a tight gland grip (e.g. H05W-F3G1,5 or AVMH-3×1,5).
Heat resisting cable must be used when installing the pump in systems with water temperatures above 90°C.
Cable leads to be routed such to avoid any contact with the adjoining pipework and/or the pump or motor housings.

Starting-up

WARNING! Risk of burning!
Note the acute danger of the pump becoming very hot, depending on the operating conditions of the pump or sys-tem respectively (fluid temperature). Danger of burning when touching the pump!

Initial start-up

Ensure that the pipe system is properly filled and air-vented. The pump rotor space is automatically vented after a short running period. Short-term dry running will not do harm to the pump. If, however, manual venting of the pump may become necessary (not apply for air-venting pump) the following procedure is to be adopted:

switch-off pump,
close discharge isolating valve,
WARNING! Risk of scalding!
Depending on fluid temperature and system pressure there is the possibility of hot water in liquid or gaseous state suddenly erupting under great force when opening the vent plug. Note the severe danger of scalding!
break through the perforation, centrically the name plate and open the vent screw carefully,
protect electrical parts from released water,
carefully move and push pump shaft with a screwdriver,
CAUTION! Risk of damage to the pump!
There is the possibility, depending on the system pressure, of the pump jamming with the vent plug open. Before switching on the pump refit and tighten the vent plug.
refit and tighten vent plug,
reopen discharge valve,
switch on pump.

Adjusting the pump capacity

Select desired control mode.
Preselect pump capacity (head) at the dial button according to requirements.
If head requirements are not known it is recommended to begin with a 1,5 m setting.
If the heating capacity proves insufficient increase head set-ting step by step.
Reduce head setting step by step if the heating capacity is too high or noise generation is excessive.
Select night setback mode; switch either to On or Off .

Maintenance

Maintenance and repair work should only be carried out by qualified personnel!
WARNING! Risk of electric shock!
Potential dangers caused by electrical energy must be excluded.

The pump must be switched off for all repair work and secured against unauthorized operation.
In principle, damage to the connecting cable should only be repaired by a qualified electrician.

Problems, causes and remedies

Pump is switched-on but does not run:

check electrical fuses,
check voltage available at the pump (note nameplate data),
Locked rotor:
switch off pump,
WARNING! Risk of scalding!
Depending on fluid temperature and system pressure there is the possibility of hot water in liquid or gaseous state suddenly erupting under great force when opening the vent plug. Note the severe danger of scalding!
close isolating valves at both pump ports and let pump cool down. Remove vent plug, check freedom of rotation and re-lock pump rotor by turning the shaft at its slotted end with the aid of a screwdriver
switch on pump.
Should the blockage not be automatically resolved via the automatic deblocking system, please consult the manual procedural instructions as described above.

Noisy pump operation

check differential pressure setting and adjust respectively.
Heating capacity too low, possibilities to increase:
- Stepp-up setpoint value,
- switch off night setback,
  To briefly switch off night setback mode (check on control operations) it is sufficient to just turn the dial button a little.
On cavitation, increase system pressure within the permissible limit.

If no solution can be found, please contact your plumbing and heating specialist or your nearest Wilo Customer Service or representative.
