By using the red dip switch on the print
board, you can either choose to control the
pump manually or remotely. In the manual
mode you control the speeds by the rotat-
ing button. When the pump is controlled
remotely, its controlled analogical.
The dip switch has the following functions:
ON = Remote Control
OFF = Manual Steering
Contact 2 is without function.
This installation guide gives basic instructions which are to be observed
during installation, operation and maintenance of the circulator. It is therefore
imperative that this manual is read by the responsible operator prior to the
installation and should always be kept available at the site.
It is not only the general safety instructions under the ”Safety” section that
are to be observed but also the specific information provided throughout this
guide.
APPLICATION
The AGEplus SERIES circulators are used in all types of heating systems.
By use of the advanced internal speed control, the electronic automatic
adjustment the circulator performance according to system needs. This
feature gives both great electrical and thermal savings together with reduced
noise level in the installation.
CIRCULATOR MEDIUM
Clean, non aggressive and non explosive fluids without any solids or fibres.
Kinematic viscosity: Max. 10mm2/s. Higher viscosity will cause circulator to
regulate improperly. Capacities shown on the data sheets are measured
with water v =1mm

/s at 20ºC.
Suitable for water impurity up to 5mg/dm

.
Please note:
If any liquid other than water is being circulated, we
recommend that you contact our representative as the circulator
characteristics may change.
SAFETY
- The surface temperature might be hot.
- When venting the circulator (Fig. 6), it could result in a slight
escape of hot water or steam!
- Circulator should be wired according to the existing regulations
- The circulator must always be earthed..
- All the wires must be disconnected before any work is
carried out on the circulator.
Personnel qualification and training
Personnel responsible for operation, maintenance, inspection and
installation of the circulator must be adequately qualified.
The person responsible for the complete installation must ensure that the
contents of this manual are fully understood by any personnel working on
the system.
INSTALLATION
1. The circulator should always be installed with the circulator shaft
horizontal (See Fig. 1). Direction of flow through the circulator casing is
indicated by an arrow located on the casing.
2. If terminal box is to be repositioned by rotating the motor, care must be
taken to ensure the casing 0-ring is correctly positioned.
3. Ensure pipework alignment and adequately supported to both the
circulator and pipework. Sharp bends should be avoided nearby the
circulator.
4. If the circulator is mounted in vertical pipework, flow should be upwards.
If flow is downwards, an air-vent must be fitted at the highest point before
circulator suction.
5. Circulator should never be allowed to operate against a closed valve for
more then a few minutes at the time.
6. To avoid accumulation of impurities in the circulator, make sure that it is
not mounted at the lowest point in a system.
7. It is recommended that isolating valves be fitted either side of the
circulator.
8. Before installing a new pump the system should be thoroughly flushed to
clear any foreign objects that may be in the pipework.

VENTING
Before start up of the circulator, fill the system
and vent the circulator thoroughly. Venting can
be achieved by loosening the plug positioned
in centre of nameplate (See Fig. 6). This proc-
ess should be repeated periodically until all air
within the system has been removed. Venting
is best done in manual speed 4.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Electrical data is shown on the nameplate.
The circulator needs no external protection but
must be earthed.How to connect the wires
can be seen on the terminals of the circulator.

AGEplus SERIES
Analogue 0-10 Volt
The AGEplus can be controlled infinitely
variable by analogue signal from 0-10 V.
0V = Min.speed; 10V = Max. speed
Remote Start-Stop
AGEplus pump has a remote start-stop
function. A cable must be connected to the
RUN contact. If a cable should be discon-
nected, the pump will shut down and the
red light will flash rapidly.
DUTY CONTROL
There are two modes for controlling the circulators.
• Controlled to follow a specific defined differential pressure at different
flows (auto).
