5.5.
Check that the pumps are turning in the correct direction.
Start each pump for a few moments in MANUAL mode (see electric panel instructions) and check that the motor fan is
turning in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Otherwise, on the panel terminal board, exchange any two wires of the electric panel power cable.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RUNNING THE SET
6.1.
Each pump in the set should not be started more than 20 times in one hour to avoid subjecting the motor
to excessive thermal stress.
6.2.
If the set remains inactive for long periods, start it by hand periodically to check its efficiency, or activate
the pump anti-block system (see electric panel instructions booklet).
6.3.
When the set remains inactive for long periods at a temperature below 0°C, it must be drained
completely. (fig.8)
6.4.
With the system empty, periodically check the preload of the expansion tanks, ensuring that it is kept
0.2-0.3 bar below the lowest of the electropump starting pressures. The frequency of this check must be
increased, the greater the frequency of starting and the maximum working pressure of the set.
7.
COMPENSATING ELECTROPUMP
7.1.
ELECTRIC COMPENSATION PUMP (NOT AVAILABLE FOR NKVE AND NKVE MCE UNITS)
Some units may be supplied with a compensation pump, connected to the suction manifold by means of an interception
valve, and to the delivery manifold by means of an interception valve and a check valve. In sets with 1 pump, the
intakes of the pump and of the compensation pump must be independent
8.
MAINTENANCE
8.1.
All our sets are subjected to strict testing of both the electrical and the hydraulic part.
It is unusual for malfunctions to occur, unless due to external or completely accidental causes.
8.2.
Below is a table with some suggestions on regulating the set in the event of irregularities in operation.
