GB ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR PUMPS
OPERATION
The electronic controller COMPACT 2 orders the
automatic start and stop of the water pump when
opening and closing any tap or valve of
the installation. When the water pump starts, it
keeps running while exists any tap opened in the
system, giving a constant flow and pressure to
the network.

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION (FIG.2)
Before proceeding with hydraulic connection it is
essential to prime the pump correctly. The
COMPACT 2 should be installed in a vertical
position, thus connecting the inlet opening (male
1”) directly to the pump outlet; and the outlet (male
1”) to the network. The following accessories are
recommended: flexible with a disassembling link for
network connection, protecting the set from possible
flexion charges and vibrations, ball valve which
permits the isolation of the pump from the
installation a tap (A) on the same level as
COMPACT ( FIG.1).
REMARKS
The water column between the pump and the
highest point of use should not exceed 6 m for the
COMPACT 2 Model F10 and the pump should
supply a minimum pressure of 2 bar. For Model F15
the highest point of use should not exceed 10 m and
the pump should supply a minimum pressure of 2,5
bar. In case of using points until 30 m should
be use the COMPACT 2 Model R. The adjustment
of starting pressure is made by a screw placed in
the back of the COMPACT 2 (FIG.5). Read
the indicated pressure showed in the pressure
gauge when the pump starts and perform on the
screw according to the wished side.
EXAMPLE:
This operation only adjusts the starting pressure,
not the operating pressure of the installation, which
only depends on the pump features.
It will be easier to proceed with the adjustment
if the tap of the installation is opened, that will
reduce the internal pressure of the COMPACT 2.
*These heights are between the device and the
highest point of use. To work at more height, mount
the device out of the pump at the desired position.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION (FIG.3)
Check the power supply to be ~230 V or ~120 V.
Dismount the cover of the electronic circuit and
make the connections as per diagram on plate
2. The COMPACT 2 can also be used for 3-phase
or single-phase pumps with intensities higher
than 10 A, by means of an auxiliary
contact (minimum contacts capacity of 4 kW or 5,5
HP coil 220V). In this case the connections will have
to be made according to scheme in WARNING: Bad
connections may spoil the electronic circuit.
AUTOMATIC RESET FUNCTION
If the device goes into failure mode, this function will
execute a series of automatic starts to attempt to
restore operation without any manual intervention
via the RESET button. The system operates as
follows:
The appliance is in failure mode due to water failure,
for example; after 5 minutes in this condition the
system will do a 25-second RESET, attempting to
prime the pump. If the system is able to prime the
pump, the failure will disappear and the pump will
be ready to operate without any problems.
However, if the failure persists, the system will
do another RESET after 30 minutes, and will
continue in this manner systematically every 30
minutes for 24 hours. If the failure still persists
after all these attempts, the system will remain in
this condition until the problem has been resolved
by manual intervention.
