OPERATION
The electronic controller COMPACT 2 orders the automatic start and
stop of the water pump when opening and closing any tap or valve of
the installation. When the water pump starts, it keeps running while
exists any tap opened in the system, giving a constant flow and
pressure to the network.
CONSTRUCTION CHARACTERISTICS
- Inlet and outlet: male G1".
- Special non return valve which avoids surges.
- Safety system avoiding dry running operation.
- Automatic reset function.
- Pressure gauge (optional).
- Manual start switch (RESET).
- Tension led (POWER).
- Pump-working led (ON).
- Security system led (FAILURE).

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION (FIG.2)
Before proceeding with hydraulic connection it is essential to prime the
pump correctly. The COMPACT 2 should be installed in a vertical
position, thus connecting the inlet opening (male 1") directly to the
pump outlet; and the outlet (male 1") to the network. The following
accessoires are recommended: flexible with a disassembling link for
network connection, protecting the set from possible flexion charges
and vibrations, ball valve which permits the isolation of the pump from
the installation a tap (A) on the same level as COMPACT ( FIG.1).
REMARKS
The water column between the pump and the highest point of use
should not exceed 6 m for the COMPACT 2 Model F10 and the pump
should supply a minimum pressure of 2 bar. For Model F15 the highest
point of use should not exceed 10 m and the pump should supply a
minimum pressure of 2,5 bar. In case of using points until 30 m should
be use the COMPACT 2 Model R. The adjustment of starting pressure
is made by a screw placed in the back of the COMPACT 2 (FIG.5). Read
the indicated pressure showed in the pressure gauge when the pump
starts and perform on the screw according to the wished side.
EXAMPLE:

This operation only adjusts the starting pressure, not the operating
pressure of the installation, which only depends on the pump features.
It will be easier to proceed with the adjustment if the tap of the
installation is opened, that will reduce the internal pressure of the
COMPACT 2.
*These heights are between the device and the highest point of use. To
work at more height, mount the device out of the pump at the desired
position.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION (FIG.3)
Check the power supply to be ~230 V or ~120 V. Dismount the cover of
the electronic circuit and make the connections as per diagram on plate
2. The COMPACT 2 can also be used for 3-phase or single-phase
pumps with intensities higher than 10 A, by means of an auxiliary
contact (minimum contacts capacity of 4 kW or 5,5 HP coil 220V). In
this case the connections will have to be made according to scheme in
WARNING: Bad connections may spoil the electronic circuit.

AUTOMATIC RESET FUNCTION
If the device goes into failure mode, this function will execute a series of
automatic starts to attempt to restore operation without any manual
intervention via the RESET button. The system operates as follows:
The appliance is in failure mode due to water failure, for example; after
5 minutes in this condition the system will do a 25-second RESET,
attempting to prime the pump. If the system is able to prime the pump,
the failure will disappear and the pump will be ready to operate without
any problems. However, if the failure persists, the system will do
another RESET after 30 minutes, and will continue in this manner
systematically every 30 minutes for 24 hours. If the failure still persists
after all these attempts, the system will remain in this condition until the
problem has been resolved by manual intervention.
STARTING
1.- Be sure that the pump is correctly primed, then gently open one tap
of the installation.
2.- Conect the COMPACT 2 to electric supply, the tensionled will lit
(POWER).
3.- The pump starts working automatically and within a period of 20-25
seconds the pressure will reach aproximately, the maximum pressure
provided by the pump. During its working the corresponding led (ON)
will be on.
4.- Close the tap indicated on point 1. After 10-12 seconds, the pump
will stop, The tension led (POWER) will be the only one to remain on.
Any problem after this procedure will be due to a defective pump
priming.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
1.- PUMP DOES NOT STOP:
A) Water leak higher than 1 l/min. at some point: check that all the used
taps are closed.
B) Breakdown on the electronic card: proceed to its substitution.
C) Incorrect electric connection: verify the connections according to
FIG.3.
2.- PUMP DOES NOT START:
A) The pump is not primed; the protection against dry running operation
has stepped in and the FAILURE led is on: prime the water pipe, drain
the system water by opening tap (A) on the same level as COMPACT
to decrease the pressure of the water column over it (FIG.2), and check
by pressing the manual start button (RESET).
B) Pump is blocked: led (FAILURE) is on, the security system is
activated. When we act on the manual start switch (RESET) the led
(ON) is activated but the pump does not work: contact with your dealer.
C) Failure in the electronic circuit: switch off the pump from the power
supply, wait a few seconds and turn it on again, the pump should start, if
it does not start then replace the electronic circuit.
D) Not electrical supply: check the proper electric feeding. The tension
led (POWER) should be on.
E) Not enough pump pressure: the security system has been activated
and the corresponding led (FAILURE) is on. Check that the pump
pressure was at least 1 bar higher than the starting pressure for the
model F,
and for the model R follow the table in HYDRAULIC
CONNECTION.
F) Air in the pump aspiration: Pressure lower that the nominal or
constants oscillations. The security system will act by stopping the
pump, the LED (FAILURE) will be on. Check the sealing of the
connections and the O-ring of the aspiration conduct.
3.- PUMP STARTS AND STOPS REPEATEDLY:
Small leak in some point of the installation: Verify possible taps or WC
tank leaks and repair them.
INSTALLATION OF THE PRESSURE GAUGE (FIG. 1)
(OPTIONAL)
The pressure gauge has an O-ring and two fixing screws. The pressure
gauge must be mounted in the side with the three holes, one big central
hole and two more little for fixing the gauge by means of the two
supplied screws. Previously you should remove the screw located in
the central hole and then introduce the cylindrical connector of the
pressure gauge. Then fix the pressure gauge with the two screws
supplied with it.FIG. 4.
