Henden Bluetooth Enabled Variable Speed Pump Installation Manual
4 | HENDEN INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL
1. INSTALLATION OF THE HENDEN
VARIABLE SPEED PUMP
1.1 Location of the Pump
The pump should be located as close to the water as
practicable and mounted on a firm base in a well drained
position, high enough to prevent any flooding. It is the
installer’s/owner’s responsibility to locate the pump such
that the nameplate can be easily read and the pump can
be readily accessed for service.
1.2 Weather Protection
It is recommended that the pump is protected from the
weather. Enclosures should be ventilated to prevent
condensation build-up.
1.3 Power Connection
The Henden Variable Speed Pump is suitable for
connection to a nominal 220-240 volt 50Hz power supply
and is equipped with a flex cord and 3 pin plug. If a power
outlet is not available within 3 metres of the pump, a 3 pin
power point in a safe, dry place may need to be provided
by an electrician. Extension cords are unsafe around
pools and should be avoided. If the supply cord of this
product is damaged it must be replaced by Henden or the
manufacturer, with genuine Henden spares.
This Henden pool pump incorporates motor overload
detection designed to protect the motor from overheating.
If the motor gets too hot during operation, its operating
speed will reduce to bring it within an acceptable
operating temperature and then will speed up to the
originally set speed.
To reset the motor, switch the power off for 30 seconds,
and then return the power from the mains switch.
If the pump and filter are located below
pool water level, it is necessary to fit
isolating valves in the pipe between the
pump and skimmer box and in return
pipe from the filter to the pool.
The fittings on this product are
constructed of ABS. Some PVC jointing
compounds are incompatible with ABS.
Check compound suitability before use.
Important Information Your Henden
pump is double insulated to water
circuit. If equipotential bonding
structure is required, then an
Equipotential Bonding Point is
provided. (Please refer to your local
statutes and regulations for AS/NZ
3000 wiring standards).
Henden recommends that all
installations are fitted with earth
leakage or residual current protection
devices.
Warning! Ensure that an electrical
isolation switch is located with easy
access so that the pump can be
switched off in an emergency.
CAUTION! In the interest of safety, we
advise that all brands and types of pool
pumps must be installed in accordance
with AS3000 wiring rules or equivalent.
When plumbing the discharge pipe,
ensure that the pipework does not
interfere with the pumps speed dial.
Barrel unions need to be hand
tightened. No sealant, glues or
silicones are required.
2. PIPE CONNECTION
Barrel unions are provided for connecting to the piping
from the pool. The pumps are designed to accept
40mm/50mm PVC fittings.
The use of any pipe smaller than those specified above is
not recommended. Suction piping should be free from all
air leaks and any humps and hollows which cause suction
difficulties.
The discharge piping from the pump outlet should be
connected to the inlet connection on the swimming pool
filter (usually at the filter control valve).
