Ascento 37 Export St Lytton QLD PH: 1800 807 604 | VSRM Inverter Contant Pressure Pumps | V2016.12
3.4 IMPORTANT NOTE:
If using the VSRM Pump as a townwater booster system (mains water pressure booster) set
the OPERATING PRESSURE as: Mains pr (65% of max pump head pressure – up to maximum of 80% of max
pump pressure) refer to the table above. CONTACT
for a diagram showing the CORRECT
configuration for Mains Water boosting applications, warranty is void if it is not configured to our specifications.
3.5 IMPORTANT NOTE:
If using the VSRM Pump with a townwater backup system (Rain-Mains System) you must fit
a FLOAT SWITCH to the rainwater tank so that when the water level of the tank is 300mm above the tank outlet, the
power to the pump is turned OFF, BEFORE the tank and pipes are dry. We recommend the RainPro Rain-Mains
Valveset with a REEFE Pump Shut-Off Controller with Float Switch. Or use a “Piggy-Back” Float Switch, but ensure
the installation is checked and approved by a licenced electrician.
3.6 IMPORTANT NOTE:
The pump
will run on continuously
if;
a)
There is any leaks anywhere in the pipework – do a pressure-test to rule this out – do not assume that the
pump is faulty – pump running continuously is almost always due to a leak, or point c) below!
b)
If you have drip irrigation that is not set up correctly
c)
The pressure setting is too high it will not stop – this is not a pump fault – ensure pressures are set correctly
refer to “3.3 Important Note”
If the pump runs continuously, and you find it is leaks or drip irrigation that you cannot find or stop, you
MUST install an additional larger PRESSURE TANK between the pump and the first point of discharge, to
avoid the continuous running. We suggest a REEFE Pressure Tank PT35H or larger. Warranty is voided by
continuous running of the pump.

Installation Guide – refer also to the diagrammatic instruction manual
1. Read the manual carefully before installation and use. ALSO REFER to the separate diagrammatic instructions
and read them in conjunction with this manual.
2. Check the pump, motor casing and the power plug for damage before installation, do not use if it is damaged in
any way.
3. Pump must be installed on a level concrete pad, or similar material that will remain level and not subside. Don't
install the VSRM underwater or in any place where water may be splashed or sprayed onto the controller, it must
be in a well ventilated and well drained area, protected from the weather, dust, dirt, leaves, insects, rodents,
reptiles etc, by way of a pump cover or a weatherproof enclosure. Installation under eaves of houses is not an
acceptable level of protection from the weather.
The pump must be
easily accessible
for servicing and repairs if ever necessary – do not install in any of the following
areas: confined space, crawl space, under a house with enclosed base, roof space, beside bedrooms, close to
neighbours bedrooms, or in any other area that makes it difficult or impossible to easily access the pump.
4. Pump must be earthed correctly, and connected to a dedicated circuit with the correct power circuit according to
the power requirements of the pump, having an integral Safety Switch (RCD) having a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA.
5. Check the operating environment is suitable for this Pump – do not use in hazardous areas or for liquids other
than clean fresh water.
