OPERATION GUIDE &
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE MOUNTING AND USING THIS PRODUCT. FOR THE PUMP, REFER TO ITS MANUAL
OPERATION
The RPC32E Pressure controller orders the automatic start and stop of the water pump when opening or closing any tap or valve of the installation. When the
water pump starts, it keeps running while any tap is opened in the system, giving a constant flow and pressure to the network.

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION (Fig.1)
Before proceeding with the hydraulic connection it is essential to prime the pump correctly. The electronic controller should be installed always in horizontal po-
sition with the overmolded arrow pointing to the top, connecting the inlet opening (male 1 1/4 “) directly to the pump and the outlet opening (male 1 1/4” ) to the
network.
ATTENTION: the water column between the pump and the highest point of the installation depends on the starting pressure. Here below, we give you a list with the
height of the column and the maximum pressure which must supplies the pump.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION (Fig. 2)
Check the power supply to be ~220 ±10% Vac, dismount the cover 1 of the electronic circuit, and make the connections as per diagram on plate 2. The RPC32E can
be used with a single-phase pump with electrical input greater than 16 A.). In this case the electrical connections must be made as shown in the diagram, fig.3
WARNING
Bad connections may spoil the electronic circuit.
H07RN-F 3G1,5 type cables (Ø9÷12mm) must be used to ensure IP65 protection.
STARTING
1.- Be sure that the pump is correctly primed, then gently open one tap.
2.- Connect the electronic controller to the electric supply. The tension LED will turn on (POWER).
3.-The pump starts working automatically and within a period of 20-25 seconds the pressure gauge will reach
approximately the maximum pressure provided by the pump. During its working the corresponding LED (ON)
will be on.
4.-Close the tap indicated on point 1. After 10-12 seconds the pump will stop. The tension LED (POWER) will be
the only one to remain on.
Any problem after this procedure will be due to a defective pump priming.
AUTOMATIC RESET FUNCTION
If the device goes into failure mode, this function will execute a series
of automatic starts to attempt to restore operation without any
manual intervention via the RESET button. The system operates
as follows:
• 10 seconds after the controller senses loss of prime and
• turns off, it trys to restart for 10seconds,
• Stops for 30 seconds,
• Trys for 10 seconds,
• Stops for 30 seconds,
• Trys for 10 seconds,
• Then Stops for 24 hours.
• The pump will then try for 10 seconds, once every 24 hours from then on, and does not stop this cycle until there is water again.
• Disconnecting the pump from power will stop the pump from completing its periodic 24hr water check.
