Installation and instruction manual DDC pumps
Electrical connection
−
The DDC pump runs on 12 Volt DC. If you install a pump without
connector, make sure to observe the correct polarity.
−
DDC-1P and DDC-1T are equipped with a connector for the power
supply.
−
The fan connector of the DDC-1T can be plugged into a fan receptacle
on the motherboard to enable monitoring of the pump rpm.
Start-up
−
The cooling loop must be fully operational before starting the computer
because the CPU otherwise can overheat in a very short time and can
suffer damage.
−
Before starting up the pump make sure that the loop is completely filled.
−
Start the pump
−
If you can hear an audible noise, air is left in the pump. Switching the
pump on and off several times can accelerate the purging of
this air.
Disconnect the power plug and reconnect it after approx. 2 seconds.
−
While purging the air observe the liquid level in the expansion tank. If
the liquid in the expansion tank is exhausted, air will be sucked back
into the loop continuously.
−
If the system does not run quiet after several minutes of purging stop
the pump and re-fill the system.
−
Avoid running the pump dry for prolonged periods since this will damage
the bearing.
Maintenance
−
The pump does not require any maintenance. There are no user
replaceable parts in the pump.
−
It is important for trouble free operation of the pump that there is always
enough liquid in the pump, since dry run damages the bearing and leads
to reduced flow or interruption of the pumping operation.
−
Air in the system will cause audible noise and therefore can be easily
detected.
−
If there are foreign particles or deposits in the system, please follow the
instructions listed in the troubleshooting section.
