Priming your System
You can prime your system via the priming plug, but you may need to:-
1. Remove the in-built check valve (see figures two and three) to allow the
water to enter the pump - don’t forget to replace it.
2. Allow for specific priming instructions associated with various pump
models - read the Installation & Operating Instructions for your specific
pump model.
Power Connection
The Torrium2 will generally be supplied with a three pin male power plug
for connection to mains power and a terminated lead for connection to the
motor. These terminations will usually be to suit the Davey X frame motor
connections. There will be three terminations for connection to the pump
motor, an Active, a Neutral and an Earth connection.
The Earth connection must be made first.
Connect lead to power supply designated on pump/controller label, do
not use long extension leads as they cause substantial voltage drop, poor
pump performance and may cause motor overload.
A means of disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.
The electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualified
electrician and comply with applicable local standards.
The Davey Torrium2 controller has status indicator lights mounted on its
front panel. These lights will be illuminated to indicate various operating
conditions and system faults. The lights will only work when the unit is
connected to the correct electrical supply.
In accordance with AS/NZS 60335-1 clause 7.12 we are obliged to inform
you that this appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible
person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
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 serviced 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.
Remove priming cap and turn over
cap. Lugs on cap will engage check
valve to unscrew.
