OPERATION
STARTING
You should always fit a non-return valve to the suction line. (A foot valve and
filter are available from your CLARKE dealer).
1. Close all taps on the discharge side of the pump.
2. After making sure that all precautions have been observed, switch on the
pump at the mains supply.
• The green “Power On” LED will light up and the yellow “Pump On”
LED will indicate that the pump has been started.
• The pump will continue to operate for a few seconds enabling the
system to fill and to reach the required pressure.
• If this amount of time is insufficient, the red LED “Failure” lights up. If
this happens, open a tap and keep the “Restart” button pressed
until the red LED goes off, then release the button and close the tap.
The EPC800 will stop the pump at its maximum pressure.
RUNNING
The EPC800 is programmed to perform all the pump control operations
automatically.
• If you open the outlet tap the EPC800 will detect a drop in pressure
and start the pump.
When operational breakdowns occur, such as water loss, obstruction of the
suction pipe, etc., the EPC800 recognizes the problem and the red “Failure”
led lights up at the same time as the power to the pump is cut to prevent
damage caused by dry running
1. Switch off the EPC800 at the mains.
2. Rectify the problem
3. Switch on the EPC800 at the mains and press the RESET button.
NOTE:
The most common problems associated with water pump
operation are leaks on the SUCTION side of the pump. Even a pin
hole in the inlet hose is sufficient to seriously reduce suction.
CAUTION: ENSURE THE PUMP IS FULLY PRIMED BEFORE SWITCHING ON.
SEE YOUR PUMP INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR DETAILS.
