5. Improper use

This is a circulator to be used in heating plants and for the circulation of clean water 
without abrasive particles. This is not a submersible pump. Do not use this circula

-

tor:
• With liquids other than water (e.g. flammable liquids, etc.) (EN60335-2-51);
• For handling drinkable water or food related liquids;
• For the circulation of domestic water;
• In locations where special condition prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or 
explosive atmosphere (dust, vapor or gas) (EN60335-2-51);

• For other than intended use.

Never run the circulator dry. The circulator must be always fully filled with water 
when operating.

6. Installation

The circulator must be mounted in a stable/fixed position in a dry, well ventilated, 
frost-free, waterproof and protected place, with sufficient ventilation around it. As

-

semble the circulator only after having ended all welding and brazing works on the 
hosing. Before installing the circulator, make sure that the internal part of the tubes 
is clean. Install the circulator in an accessible place for future checks and disassem

-

bly procedures. Foresee enough space for inspections and disassembling.
To avoid circulator overheating, do not place any object on the circulator itself.

7. Electric connection

IMPORTANT: Connection to the power supply must be effected by means of a fixed 
power  cable  which  is  fitted  with  a  plug-type  connection  or  an  all-pole  isolating 
switch with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm. 
Electrical  connection  must  be  carried  out  only  by  a  qualified  electrician  and  in 
accordance  with  local  regulations  and  both  data  on  the  name-plate  and  the 
appropriate diagram inside the terminal box cover.

Follow all safety standards.

Do not connect to mains supply unless circulator is fully and correctly assembled.

8. 

Supply  cord  must  be  selected  following  the  requirements  of  EN60335-2-51 

Chapter 25. Supply cord must be protected against any kind of mechanical damage 
(cuts, abrasion, etc.). It must not touch the pipe or the pump. (EN 60335-2-51). If the 
insulation of the Supply cord can come in contact with parts having a temperature 
exceeding  70°C  the  supply  cord  insulation  must  be  protected,  for  example,  by 
insulating sleeving having an appropriate temperature rating. (EN60335-2-51).

9. 

Connect circulators only to a mains supply protected by a Residual Current

Device (RCD or Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter) with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA.
