Switching the pumps on
In order to guarantee that the pump can start every time it is
advisable to reduce the back pressure to an acceptable level.
This is also the case if there is a short power cut.
For more specific information contact the KNF specialist
Switching the pumps off
Ensure that the system is subject to normal atmospheric pres-
sure (release the hydraulic pressure.
The motor speed of the pump, and thus the flow rate, is adjust-
able and can also be regulated to some extent.

Duty cycle / impulse operation
For pressures above 2bar g the switch-on duration has to be lim-
ited.
Above 2bar g, we recommend a max. switch-on duration of 5 min.
The switch-on/off time depends on the heat in the pump head and
its heat dissipation / cooling down while switched off.
During operation, a maximum temperature of 105°C should not be
exceeded in the pump head. The temperature has to be measured
on the pressure side of the pump head.
