IRRIGATION USE - MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS:
For any
installation of pumps supplying irrigation, you must fit an 18L or larger pressure tank.
Set tank air pressure: RPS036 set air pressure to 250kPa, RPS050 set air pressure to 350kPa
17)
IMPORTANT NOTICE RE THE STOPPING FUNCTION:
In some situations the pump will cycle
a few times after each use. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY FAULT,
it is a normal function of
the internal pump controller releasing excess pressure when there is some “bounce” or
“give” in the pipework or connected fixtures –
it is often caused by toilet cisterns or a
short discharge pipe or flex in pipes. It is not a fault with the pump. If the owner does not
want this to occur, install a 2L or larger Pressure Tank, set the tank air pressure: RPS036
set air pressure to 250kPa, RPS050 set air pressure to 350kPa.
18)
IF THE PUMP BLEEDS OUT OF THE TOP After startup, the pump may bleed water out of the
top of the pump
–
this is NOT a fault, it is the normal operation of the pump.
19)
Some air can be pumped when the tank is low in water
–
this is not a fault it is normal
operation.
20)
NO RCD/SAFETY SWITCH? DO
NOT
INSTALL PUMPS!!
FURTHER INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER
21)
Try to minimise the amount of bends in the delivery pipe. Pipes of insufficient diameter connected to the
pump will severely restrict the performance of the pump, cause the pump to use more electricity, and
may cause the pump to cycle on/off frequently
,
this is not covered
by warranty as it is caused by the
installer.
If the user requires the best possible pressure from the pump, the recommendation is for the
delivery pipe to be 25mm ID for the majority of the pipeline.
22)
IRRIGATION USE TANK PRESSURE SETTING:
Air pressure must be set at 70% of maximum pump pressure
–
set the tank air pressure: RPS036 set air pressure to 250kPa, RPS050 set air pressure to 350kPa. The
Pressure
Tank is simply fitted to the discharge pipework with a “tee”, anywhere between the pump and
the first point of discharge.
23)
During installing or servicing
disconnect the pump from the power supply.
24)
Ball-valves or gate-valves must be fitted on the discharge, and the Town-water backup supply where
fitted.
An additional Check-valve must be fitted outside of the tank (not on the pump) where it is used
with a Town-water backup system, but only if the Town-Water backup system does not have a built-in
check-valve on the Rainwater connection. This instruction is a condition of warranty; all warranty is void if
this instruction is not followed. The pump must be installed to comply with applicable Plumbing
Regulations.
25)
Do not remove the base off the pump
as this will then cause it to take in solids or sludge which will lead
to reduced performance and ultimately, failure, which is not covered by the warranty. This pump is not to
be used as your sole water supply. For critical applications where loss of water supply could cause serious
consequences, use a DUAL PUMP System so you have a back up water supply or use a TOWN-WATER
BACK-UP SYSTEM. This pump is not designed for Fire Fighting purposes.
26)
IMPORTANT:
This pump MUST NOT be installed in any manner that if it were to fail that it would cause
damage or loss to property or persons. It MUST be installed in a well-ventilated and drained area.
27)
DO NOT lower or lift the pump using the power cable
–
use nylon rope to lower or lift the pump in and
out of the tank.
