5.2 Rapid starting and stopping of the pump ("Manual" mode).
The pump leaves the factory and is delivered with Priming enabled: if the programming of Priming is not
changed (see par. 6.2.7), when switched on for the first time, the pump may start at top speed.
Before pressing “RUN/STOP”, make sure that the valves are open, the pipes are not blocked, and keep
away from the filter and from parts that can be pressurized.
Check well all the IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
Once the first configuration has been carried out with the WIZARD (in conditions with the white LED
blinking and
the “Auto” LED off), starting the pump is very easy:
press the key from “
SET1
” to “
SET4
” corresponding to the desired setpoint (e.g. “
SET1
”), or the “
QuickClean
”
key; the LED corresponding to the key pressed lights up, indicating the selection made;
press
“
RUN/STOP
”.
At this point, switching on is enabled and the pump starts; the green running LED
lights up, while the white LED
is lit with a steady light (indicating that now the system is active).
The system performs
startup
: the pump starts at a fixed speed (50%) for a few seconds.
Startup is necessary for the pump to switch on correctly, and it is always performed at each start of the
motor.
Priming is then performed (par. 6.2.7), if it is enabled (according to factory setting).
After that, the pump continues to run according to the setpoint associated with the “
SETx
” or “
QuickClean
” function
used (in the example, the “
SET1
” setpoint).
The factory values are given in chapter 8.
For the “SETx” keys, it is easy to change the setpoint (choosing also between flow or speed) and the
other characteristics (duration) by means of the menu (see 6.2.2).
Also the operation associated with the “QuickClean” key can be customized (see 6.2.4).
Pressing a “SETx” or “QuickClean” key puts the pump into “Manual” mode, which has precedence over
“Auto” mode: even with “Auto” active (“Auto” LED on), pressing a “SETx” or “QuickClean” key will start
the pump with the setpoint associated with the key.
An execution time or duration is also associated with each “
SETx
” function and with “
QuickClean
”.
The following events may occur while the pump is running:
the end of the time (or duration) associated with the “
SETx
” or “
QuickClean
” key selected previously is
reached,
or the same “
SETx
” or “
QuickClean
” key is pressed again;
in both cases, the key function ceases, its LED switches off, and the pump stops.
However, if the “Auto” function was active in the background (“Auto” LED lit), it now takes control of the
machine, deciding either to switch off the pump or to switch on with another setpoint, depending on the
programming made. So the pump might not switch off.
It is very easy to stop the pump manually: with the pump running, just:
press “
RUN/STOP
”.
the pump thus stops in any case (*), interrupting all active modes (this means that also “Auto” mode, which may have
been active in the background, switches off); the green running LED
switches off. The white LED
starts to blink,
indicating that the system has been disabled.
When “RUN/STOP” is pressed again, the system is re-enabled and everything is restarted; the white LED
is now lit
with a steady light.
(*) The only exceptions: the
Antifreeze
and
Antilock
functions start the pump even if the system is disabled (see
paragraphs 6.2.8 and 6.2.9).
After a blackout during operation in Manual mode, the system does not restart unless the SETx key that
was lit had the duration “ENDLESS”. In this case, the system restarts with the same setpoint as before.
