2.3.4  ENHANCED “-E” CONTROLLER OPERATION 

 
The control is by AquaTech-Pressmain “2020Plus” Microprocessor, with a 2-line by 20 or 24 character display on the 
control panel, showing the current system pressure and status. 
 
 

When switched on the display shows, 
then self-checks, flashing all LED lights on keypad, 
 

 

and identifies configuration for pump operation 
(e.g. “MP” pressurisation unit) 
 
 

followed by the system status and pressure 

 
 
 
For “normal” operation, all Hand/Off/Auto switches should be left in “Auto”, all isolating valves should be left open, all 

hydraulic accumulator/expansion vessel isolating valves should be left open, and drain cock/valves should be left 

closed. Should it be necessary to have a situation that is not “normal” operation, then we would strongly recommend 

attendance to site by our trained/authorised service personnel. Please contact AquaTech-Pressmain for more details. 
 

Pump Operation 

Sealed system pressurisation unit; All Models:

 

The pressurisation unit automatically maintains a minimum set pressure, the “Cold Fill” pressure, in a heating or chilled 
system by transferring make-up liquid from a breaktank, into the system. When the system pressure falls below the 
required level the Duty pump automatically refills the system until the pressure is restored. If the Duty Pump fails to 
maintain the required pressure the Support pump (where fitted) will operate in addition to the Duty Pump. 
 

Duty Pump Rotation.

 To spread the wear evenly across both pumps (where fitted), their sequence is 

automatically rotated either by starting the pump that has been idle the longest and/or by timed operation (dependent 
upon unit type). 

Indicator lights (where fitted) on the fascia show which pump is running. 
 

Automatic Restart (when “manual restart” is set to “not enabled” on 2020 Plus controller) 

If there is an interruption to the electrical supply the unit will automatically restart on restoration of the supply. 
Pumps will restart at timed intervals. 

 
Manual Restart (when set to “enabled” on 2020 Plus controller) 

If there is an interruption to the electrical supply, or there is a low water level condition, the unit will need to be 
manually reset on restoration of the supply, or low water level condition, by pressing the “Reset Alarm” key. Pumps 
will then restart at timed intervals. 

 

Pressure setting. 

The pumpset is set at the default 'duty/cold fill' pressure at the factory. If necessary, the 

pressure will be adjusted at commissioning to suit local conditions.
