Close the tap mentioned under step (1). After 10-12 seconds the pump will stop running, but

the power supply LED (POWER) will remain lit. Any malfunctions occurring after 

these operations will be caused by improper priming or failure to prime.

Troubleshooting:

1.

Read the pressure indicated by the gauge when the pump is started.

2.

Disconnect the power supply.

3.

Open a tap to discharge the pressure.

4.

Adjust the screw clockwise to increase (or counter-clockwise to decrease) the start pressure.

5.

Supply power to the the controller; if you are not satisfied with the adjustment, repeat th

operations described above until you obtain the desired pressure value.

NOTE:

 The maximum pressure of the pump (closing contact pressure) and the minimum 

start pressure must comply with the values shown in the table under paragraph 5.1 otherwise 

the controller will go into FAILURE mode.

If the device goes into failure mode, the automatic reset 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 

five

 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. However, if the failure persists, the system will do another RESET after 

thirty

 minutes, 

and will continue in this manner systematically every 

thirty

 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 or when power is recycled.

closed and that 

there are no leaks.

B)

The electrical connection is incorrect: refer to the instructions in Fig. 2.

C)

Electronic board malfunction: replace the electronic board.

 

A)

The pump is not primed; dry-run protection is active and the FAILURE LED is on: prime

the

 

water pipe and check by pressing the manual start button (RESET).

B)

The pump has shut down: the safety system has stepped in and the FAILURE LED is on.

If you press the manual start button (RESET) and the LED (ON) lights up; if the

pump does not start test

 

the output with another device such as a lamp.

C)

Electronic board malfunction: disconnect the pump from the electrical mains and

reconnect it;

 

the pump should start, if it does not replace the controller.

D)

No power supply: check the electrical connections, the POWER LED must be

illuminated.

E)

The pump delivers insufficient pressure, the safety system has stepped in and the

 corresponding LED (FAILURE) is illuminated: make sure that the pump

 

 pressure corresponds to the pressure value

 

specified in the relevant table in

Starting Pressure Adjustment: (P. Start):

The pump controller is factory set to start with a minimum pressure of 21.75 PSI (1.5 bar). This 

pressure can be increased up to 36.25 PSI (2.5 bar) by rotating the screw found at the back of the 

cone-shaped end of the device, (see Fig. 4).

To set the pump start pressure:

2) THE PUMP DOES NOT START:

A) Water loss exceeding 0.8 gpm. Make sure that all the taps along the pipeline are
