IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This guide provides installation and operation instructions for this pump. If you have any other questions about this equipment, please consult your supplier.

1.1 When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
  Pool pump must be installed on a RCD protected circuit.
  Check your local state regulations and wiring rules.

• This pump is for use with permanently installed in-ground or above-ground swimming pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas with a water temperature  under 50°C. Due to the fixed installation method, this pump is not suggested to be used on above-ground pools that can be readily disassembled for storage.

• The pump is not submersible.

• Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure.

1.2 All installations must be fitted with earth leakage or residual current protection devices, having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.

• Fill the pump with water before starting. Do not run the pump dry. In case of dry run, mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking.
• Before servicing the pump, switch OFF power to the pump by disconnecting the main circuit to the pump and release all pressure from pump and piping system.

OVERALL DIMENSION (mm)

INSTALLATION

4.1. Tools required

4.2. Pump Location
The pump should be installed in an area with at least 150mm distance around the unit away from any obstacles and away from any corrosive products.

1. Install the pump as close to the pool as possible, to reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, use short, direct suction and return piping.
2. To avoid direct sunshine, heat or rain, it is recommended to place the pump indoors or in the shade.
3. DO NOT install the pump in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep pump and motor at least 150mm away from obstacles, pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
4. The pump should be installed horizontally and fixed in the hole on the support with screws to prevent unnecessary noise and vibration.

4.4. Valves and Fittings
It is recommended to install isolation valves on the suction and return lines for easier maintenance of the pool pump.
4.3. Piping
Suction and return connections on the pool pumps are 50mm pressure pipe dimensions.

1. For optimization of the pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a pipe with size of 63mm. When installing the inlet and outlet fittings (joints), use the special sealant for PVC material.
2. The dimension of suction line should be the same or larger than the inlet line diameter, to avoid pump sucking air, which will affect the efficiency of the pump.
3. Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as short as possible.
4. For most installations we recommend installing a valve on both the pump suction and return lines, which is more convenient  r for routine maintenance. However, we  lso recommend that a valve, elbow, or tee installed on the suction line should be no close r.  to the front of the pump than seven times the suction line diamete n
5. Pump outlet piping system should be equipped with a check valve to prevent the pump from the impact of medium recirculatio and pump-stopping water hammer.

• The pump inlet/ outlet union size: optional with metric 50 or 40mm.

2. Below water level system should have an isolation valves installed on suction and return line for maintenance; however, the suction gate valve should be no closer than seven times the suction pipe diameter as described in this section.
3. A check valve shopuld be installed if there are long pipe runs aboave water level or if is significant height between the return line and the outlet of the pump.
4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in parallel with other pumps. This helps prevent reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.

4.5 Check before initial startup

1. Check whether pump shaft rotates freely;
2. Check whether power supply voltage and frequency conform to the nameplate;
3.  Facing the fan blade, the direction of motor rotation should be clockwise;
4. It is forbidden to run the pump without water.

5.2 Startup
Before operation.
Fill the basket with water before starting up the pump.
When the power is switched on, the screen will fullu illuminate for 5 seconds, check whether power supply voltage and frequency conform to the nameplate;
Refer to section 4.4 before proceeding.
When the screen is locked, only the button will light up; Press and hold for more than 3 seconds, other buttons will all light up. The screen will automatically lock up when there is no operation for more than 1 minute and the brightness of the screen is reduced by 1/3 of the normal display. Short press to wake up the screen and observe the relevant operating parameters.
The default flow range for Madimack Elite VS is as below:

5.3 Self- priming
When switched on for the fist time after installation, the pump will start self-priming automatically and followed by self-learning.
Self-priming:
The system performs the self-priming in Boost mode, it will count down from 1500s and stop automatically when the system detects the pump is full of water.
Self-learning:
After the self-priming is completed, the system will perform a self-learning program to define the optimum performance rate. This is done by detecting the system designed pressure including pipe length, size and the filter condition. This will take 180 seconds and will define the range of available flow.
Remark:
The pump is delivered with self-priming enabled. Each time the pump restarts, it will perform self-priming automatically. The user can enter the parameter setting to disable the default self-priming function (see 5.8)
If the default self-priming function is disabled, and the pump has not been used for a long time, the water level in basket may drop, the user could manually activate the Boost mode of priming to fill it (see 5.8), the adjustable period is from 600s to 1500s (default value is 600s).
The user could press for for more than 3 seconds to exit the Boost mode, The system will have a 180s self-learning process after end the Boost mode.
5.4 Backwash
Start the Backwash procedure by pressing the backwash button ( ). Once activated the timer will start to count down on the main screen. Use to change the length of  backwash time required.

If backwash is completed or you wish to stop high speed, either press (ON/OFF) button or press for 3 seconds to return to previous operating speed.
5.6 Manual-Inverter Mode
The running capacity can be set manually according to different application needs. To Reset, just power it OFF, then ON again.

1| | Unlock the screen, press to shift from the Auto-Inverter mode to Manual- Inverter mode.
---|---|---

2

| | Press to set the running capacity between 30%~100%, each step by 5%.
3| | Press again to switch to Auto-Inverter mode.

When manual inverter mode is set, a % of the maximum capacity of the pump will be displayed. This can be set using the buttons.

5.5 Auto-Inverter Mode
Auto inverter mode uses the latest in Adaptive control technology.
Sensing the length of the pipe, equipment and fiter condition.
After setting the water flow, the pump will automatically detect the system pressure and adjust the running capacity.
Litres per minute will be constant wont change.

is equivalent to 80% capacity after self-priming.
3| | The flow rate could be adjusted, by pressing with 1L/min for each step.
4| | The unit of flow rate could be changed to lpm, IMPgpm or US GPM, by pressing both for 3 seconds (default is L/min).
5| | Press to switch to Manual-Inverter mode.

Note:
After the fit self-priming, the pump will redefine the adjustable flow range. If the change last for 5 minutes, the pump will perform a self-priming and self- learning procedure (see section 5.3).
After the redefinition of flow range, the pump will automatically adjust the running capacity to reach the set flow.

5.7 Timer mode
The timer mode can be set when different speeds throughout the day are required. For example if a suction cleaner is used and requires a higher flow rate.

N o te: Overlapping timers will be considered as invalid, the pump will only run based on the previous valid setting.
During timer setting, if you want to return to the previous setting, hold both for 3 seconds.

PROTECTION AND FAILURE

7.1 High Temperature Warning and Speed Reduction
In “Auto-Inverter/Manual-Inverter Mode” and “Timer mode” (except backwash /self-priming), when the pump control system reaches the high temperature warning trigger threshold (81°C), it enters the high temperature warning state; when the temperature drops from the high temperature warning release threshold (78°C), the high temperature warning state is released. The display area alternately displays AL01 and running speed or flow.

1. If AL01 displayed for the fit time, the running capacity will be automatically reduced as below:
   a. If current operating capacity is higher than 85%, the running capacity will be automatically reduced by 15%;
   b. If current operating capacity is higher than 70%, the running capacity will be automatically reduced by 10%;
   c. If current operating capacity is lower than 70%, the running capacity will be automatically reduced by 5%.

2. Suggestion for non-fit displayed of AL01: check the module temperature every 2 minutes. Compared with the temperature in the previous period, for every 1-degree Celsius increase, the speed will decrease by 5%.

7.2 Undervoltage protection
When the device detects that the input voltage is less than 200V, the device will limit the current running speed
When input voltage is less than or equal to 180V, the running capacity will be limited to 70%;
When the input voltage range is within 180V ~ 190V, the running capacity will be limited to 75%;
When the input voltage range is within 190V ~ 200V, the running capacity will be limited to 85%.

7.3 Troubleshooting

•Fuses blown or thermal overload open.
•Check the rotation of the motor shaft for free movement and lack of obstruction.
•Because of long time lying idle. Unplug the power supply and manually rotate motor rear shaft a
few times with a screwdriver.
Pump does not prime.| •Make sure the pump basket is filled with water and the 0-ring of cover is clean.
•Loose connections on the suction side.
•Strainer basket or skimmer basket loaded with debris.
•Suction side clogged.
•Distance between pump inlet and liquid level is higher than 2m, height of pump installation should
be lowered.
Low Water Flow.| •Pump does not prime.
•Air entering suction piping.
•Basket full of debris.
•Inadequate water level in pool.
Pump being noisy| •Air leak in suction piping, cavitation caused by restricted or undersized suction line or
leak at any joint, low water level in pool, and restricted discharge return lines.
•Vibration caused by improper installation, etc.
•Damaged motor bearing or impeller (need to contact the supplier for repair).
