Installation
Preliminary checks
Take the PRESFLO
out of
®
the packaging and check the
following:
- check for damage,
- check the RATINGS correspond
with those required,
- that the cable bushings and
screws are in place,
- that PRESFLO
's inlets and
®
outlets are clean and free of any
packaging materials,
- that the check valve moves
smoothly.
Hydraulic connections
the joint in two pieces allows ra-
pid connection to the sy-
stem. DO NOT apply se-
alant inside the 2-piece
joint because it already
has an internal o-ring.
Orientation
PRESFLO
can be installed at
®
any angle depending on the flow
direction, as indicated in the
diagrams.
Position
PRESFLO
can either be fitted
®
directly to the pump outlet or
anywhere along the delivery
line. Never install taps between
the pump and PRESFLO
. Do
®
not install a non-return valve
between PRESFLO
®
and the taps,
meanwhile it is possible, although
not necessary, to install a non-
return valve on the suction piping
of the pump.
NOTE 1 - DRY RUNNING = there is no flow and the pressure is lower
than that of the pump start-up pressure (Pm). It occurs when there is no
water. After 15 seconds PRESFLO

AUTOMATICALLY tries to resume NORMAL SERVICE
®
at intervals of increasing time (1, 15, 30, 60 minutes and successively once
every hour - 24 H for AU/NZ - ). If PRESFLO
flow, NORMAL SERVICE is resumed, otherwise, the pump is stopped again
until the next attempt is made. A MANUAL attempt to resume NORMAL
SERVICE can be made at any time.
NOTE 2 - FREQUENT START-UP = the repeated stopping and starting of
the pump at intervals of less than 1 minute from each other. This occurs
when the flow rate is less than 2 litres/min. This may cause damage to the
pump. In event of small leaks (dripping), PRESFLO
guarantees that the pump starts/stops at time intervals of over 1 minute
(less than 60 starts/hour) and that FREQUENT START-UP errors do not occur.
In the event of a major leak or extended use at excessively low flow rates
(less than 2 litres/min), the pump may be started/stopped as often as once
every few seconds, putting the pump at risk of damage. In this case, after
about 40 minutes, PRESFLO
stops the pump for the following 30 minutes

in order to guarantee that the

turned on.
Attention
The maximum pressure
produced by the pump
must be at least 0.5 bar (7 psi)
higher than the start-up pressure

the pump is too low, PRESFLO
will stop the pump and indicate a
'dry running' error message.

used for more than 30 minutes. Once that enough time has passed to allow
the pump to cool down it is restarted AUTOMATICALLY. The pump may be
restarted MANUALLY any time.
NOTE 3 - OVERCURRENT = electric absorption of the pump (in Ampere)
exceeding the max. allowed (I max). By means of the configuration, it is
possible to set the max. current allowed (I max). During the start-up phase

will again be signalled. The manual restart can be repeated several times
since PRESFLO
