Auto-retry and Water Return Modes
Should your Torrium2 detect a loss of prime, after stopping the pump, it will wait five
minutes before activating Auto-retry and Water Return modes. Auto-retry automatically
starts the pump to see if the pump is now primed.
It does this after 5 mins, 30 mins, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 8 hrs, 16 hrs and 32 hrs. Water return mode
will restart the pump automatically if the Torrium2 detects water flow through it.
Electrical Power Surge Protection
An electrical power surge or spike can travel on the supply lines and cause serious
damage to your electrical equipment. The Torrium2 controller has a metal oxide varistor
(MOV) fitted to help protect it’s circuit. The MOV is not a lightning arrestor and may not
protect the Torrium2 controller if lightning or a very powerful surge hits the pump unit.
If the installation is subject to electrical power surges or lightning we strongly recommend
the use of a suitable surge protection device on ALL electrical equipment.
Surge Protector Status Window
To allow you to check the status of the inbuilt MOV in the Torrium2 there is a viewing
window at the back of the Torrium2 above the power lead entry / exit grommet. The MOV is
the blue disc shaped component. Should it be consumed due to power spikes it will almost
always blacken the viewing port. This will indicate a non-warrantable failure.
WARNING: Automatic reset thermal overloads may allow the pump to restart
without warning. Always disconnect the pump motor from the electrical supply
before maintenance or repairs.
WARNING: When servicing or attending pump and/or controllers, always ensure
power is switched off and lead unplugged. Electrical connections should be ser-
viced only by qualified persons.
Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid possible
injury from hot pressurised water. Unplug pump, relieve pressure by opening a tap
on the discharge side of the pump and allow any hot water in the pump to cool
before attempting to dismantle.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT USE petroleum based fluids or solvents (e.g. Oils, Kerosene,
Turpentine, Thinners, etc) on the plastic pump components or seal components.
WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon based or hydrocarbon propelled
sprays around the electrical components of this controller.
Abrasive Materials
The pumping of abrasive materials will cause damage to the
Torrium2 controller which will then not be covered by the guarantee.
NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motors are fitted with an automatic reset
thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a problem e.g. low
voltage at pump, excessive temperature (above 50°C) in pump enclosure.
