SERVICE / MAINTENANCE
Armstrong’s AGEplus Series range of glandless circulators is virtually
maintenance free and in a well designed system should give many years of
trouble free operation.
If motor shaft is seized as a result of a long period without use or due to
accumulation of impurities, it should be freed. Insert a screwdriver through
the venting plughole and into the slot in the end of the shaft and rotate.
Please note: Any repairs required to the internal electrical parts of the circu-
lator, are to be carried out by an Armstrong approved service organisation.
Transport, Handling and Storage Instructions
a. Transport.
i . AGEplus circulators are despatched fully assembled. AGEplus
circulators are packed for transport by mornal road, sea and air
carriers.
b. Handling
i. Crushing Hazard.
Ii. When lifting an AGEplus circulator above a weight of 25
kg, use lifting equipment haveing a safe working load
rating suitable for the load specified. Use suitable slings
for lifting any circulator..
c. Storage
i. Short term Storage (six weeks). If the AGEplus circulator is not to
be installed immediately after unpacking, then it is to be be stored
in a cool dry dust free location.
Ii. Long term storage. If the AGEplus circulator is not to be installed
for period of longer than six weeks after receipt on site, then it is
to be retained in its packing case. If the casing case is disposed
of, then the inlet and outlet connections are to be blanked off with
suitable clean covers to prevent ingress of damaging solids.

ERROR SIGNALS
The red light on the back of the terminal box will, in case of an error, indicate
the type of error detected by the electronic. Approximately every minute the
light will blink a number of times.

ERROR RELAY
The AGEplus has a fault relay. The relay
has both a NC and a NO connecting. See
Fig. 9.
SIGNALS
AGEplus circulators have two LED’s on the terminal box for status indica-
tion. Power to the circulator is indicated with the green LED. The red LED
will be on if the circulator detect a fault. Reset is carried out by switching
the mains supply off for 5 sec. and then on again. See Fig. 8.
GENERAL
In all AGEplus circulators, Pressure Loss Compensation (P.L.C.) is included
in the control, which means that the circulator does not follow a constant
differential pressure but takes into account the decreasing pressure needs
at decreasing flow. This setting is in the auto controlling mode. See Fig. 7.
