Installation Ø63/50 mm union couplings x2 2.1 Selecting the location The pump must be installed: before the filter, a heating and/or water treatment system, at a minimum distance of 3.5 metres from the edge of the pool, to avoid any water being sprayed onto the equipment. Some standards allow for other distances. Refer to the regulations in effect in the country of installation. ideally 30 cm below the water level, out of an area subject to flooding, or on a base with drainage, in a ventilated space to enable it to cool down. The pump must not be installed: in an area subject to splashing or rain. more than 1 m above the water level. near a heat source or flammable gas. Fit a non-return valve if the filter is installed above the water level. Fit suction and discharge isolation valves if the pump is installed below the water level. Easy access is required for maintenance work on the equipment. Use as few elbow joints as possible. 2.2 Positioning the equipment Place on a stable, solid (e.g. concrete floor) and level surface. If necessary, use the bases (2 types of base, not supplied, available as an option) to raise the pump to the level of the existing pipes. Screw the pump to the ground using the adapted foundation bolt. 3 H0538700.B - EN - 2015-09
2.3 Hydraulic connections 1: pump 2: filter 3: heating system 4: water treatment system Respect the hydraulic connection direction (see $ "Dimensions" in the appendix). Pipes Maximum suction rate at 1.8 metres/second Maximum discharge rate at 2.4 metres/second Ø50 mm 14 m³/h 19 m³/h Ø 63 mm 20 m³/h 27 m³/h Choose the dimension of the pipes according to the size of the pool and respecting the hydraulic rules which apply in the installation country. Performance curves are available in the appendix for the pipe dimensions. The use of suction and discharge union couplings is recommended to facilitate operations on the equipment (the pump intake and output are threaded by 2" on the interior). If there need to be more than 10 elbow joints on the hydraulic circuit, increase the pipe diameter. Avoid high points to simplify priming. Check that the hydraulic corrections are correctly tightened and that there are no leaks. The pipes must be supported to prevent any risk of breakage due to the weight of water. 2.4 Electric connections Risk of electric shock inside the equipment may cause serious injury or even death. Only a qualified and experienced technician is authorised to carry out cabling in the equipment. The equipment must be connected to an earth socket. Any unsuitable electrical connection will invalidate the warranty. Incorrectly tightened terminals may cause the terminal unit to heat up and invalidate the warranty. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified technician. 2.4.1 Voltage and protection Electrical protection: by circuit breaker (D curve), with a 30 ma dedicated differential circuit breaker (circuit breaker or switch) at the head of the line. The equipment and the swimming pool and any other electrical equipment must be connected to the Earth. Acceptable variation in voltage: +/-10% (during operation). 2.4.2 Power supply and clock Connect the pump to the 230 Vac relay downstream of the swimming pool electrical cabinet's filtration clock. The filtration unit clock directly controls the pump's electricity supply, which then starts with the selected speed. EN H0538700.B - EN - 2015-09 4
2.4.3 Connecting the motor's power supply Open the electrical cabinet by unscrewing the 3 screws on the user interface and tilting it to the side (pay attention to the wires underneath). Run the supply cable through the gland and connect it to the (earth) and L-N terminals: Close the unit again, making sure that the seal is correctly in place. Power supply cable section: provided for information purposes for a maximum length of 45 metres (calculation base: NFC15-100), must be checked and adapted to the installation conditions and standards of the installation country.

Check that the pump is stable, level and flush. The electricity supply cable must be insulated against any cutting or hot elements that may damage it. The hydraulic circuit must be bled and not contain any foreign bodies. The pump pre-filter strainer cover must be correctly closed (by hand) and its seal clean and in place. Check that the valves are open. To prevent against any risk of explosion that may cause material damage, serious injury or even death, make sure that the hydraulic circuit is free of any debris or blockage and is not subject to excessive pressure. Never run the pump "dry" as this may damage it. The pre-filter strainer cover must be closed by hand (do not use any tools). 3.3 Start the appliance Start a speed, the pump always starts in "priming" mode (2850 rpm for approx. 2 minutes). The pump is self-priming. However, you are strongly recommended to fill the pre-filter strainer with water before starting it up for the first time to facilitate the procedure. Bleed any air present in the filtration circuit using the bleed normally present on the filter (refer to the swimming pool filter's manual). Check that there are no leaks on the hydraulic circuit. The pump has a priming capacity up to 3 metres above the swimming pool water level (if the hydraulic circuit is perfectly sealed). 5 H0538700.B - EN - 2015-09
3.4 Use and configuration of the user interface Speed Keys to start the speed Default speed "ECO" speed 1400 rpm "CLEAN" speed 2150 rpm "BOOST" speed 2850 rpm When the pump is running, it displays the operating speed and an LED lights up above the key which corresponds to the speed. If the mains supply is disconnected (manually or via the filtration clock) the pump will restart at the last speed active. To modify the setting of one of the three speeds: the speed you want to modify must be operating, press the key that corresponds to this speed for 5 seconds (the corresponding green LED must flash). press or until you reach the speed you want (increments of 50 rpm). Press for 10 seconds to save. To stop the pump, press. You may reset the pump to return it to "factory" configuration: - make sure that the pump is powered up but stopped ("OFF" is displayed on the screen). EN - press + + for 5 seconds until the 3 corresponding green LEDs flash once. - release the keys: the pump is now reset. 4. Maintenance 4.1 Maintenance instructions General maintenance of the appliance is recommended when the pool is wintered and before restarting, to check that it operates correctly and maintains its performance, as well as to prevent certain types of failure. These operations are carried out at the user's expense, by a qualified technician. Make sure that the pump or electrical compartment contain no foreign bodies. Clean the outside of the appliance, do not use solvent-based products. Check that the user interface is correctly connected. Check the connection of the metal masses to the earth. Check that the electrical cables are correctly tightened and connected and that the electrical unit is clean. Clean the pre-filter strainer, the cover and the seal regularly. Check that the pre-filter strainer is correctly in place, or it may prevent the cover from closing fully. 4.2 Wintering The pump must be fully wintered in the event of frost or extended electrical disconnection. If the pump freezes it may cause severe damage and invalidate the warranty. To avoid damaging the equipment with condensation, do not fully cover it. If the pump is positioned below the water level, close the isolation valves at suction and discharge. Drain the pump (using the 2 bleed screws) and the hydraulic circuit, following the swimming pool manufacturer's instructions. Remove the 2 bleed screws and keep them to reinstall them when the pump is put back into operation. You are recommended to disconnect the electrical power cable then unscrew the hydraulic connectors to store the pump in a dry place away from frost. 4.3 Recycling This symbol means that your appliance must not be thrown into a normal bin.
