Check supply tank is full and the 
correct capacity. Refer to BS 9251: 
2014 Calculation. 

 

Make first setting of the pressure switch values according 
to the design calculations for the system. Coarse settings. 

May require further adjustment 
against the pressure gauge later 

 

Close the system isolating valve on the discharge side of 
unit. Open the system isolating valve on the suction side 
of the unit. Apply water to the unit. 

 

 

Prime the CM pump and the whole system as necessary. 
Open the discharge isolating valve. Inspect for leaks 

Refer to CM pump I&O manual for 
guidance. Fix any leaks. 

 

Remove the controller cover and fit the 2 x AAA battery’s.

Pump will start, run for 20 seconds and pressurise the 
system. If necessary, prime/vent the system again. 
Check the pressure gauge value is as expected. Inspect 
for any leaks 

Fix any leaks 

 11 

 

Tune the pressure switch settings for the system against 
the gauge readings and the designed pressures settings 
by draining off water and allowing the unit to respond 
observing values on gauge. 

Ignore any Service/Fault LED’s at 
this time.
