- When the pressure drops to the P1 value

the first pump starts.

- If the pressure drops to the P2 value the

second pump starts.

The pump can only be stopped manually by

operating the controls on the electric panel.

The pump stops only if the system pressure

has been restored to the P1s value. In the

version with automatic shut-off, the pumps

stop automatically after the system pressure

has been restored for a set time.

Pressure switch

The pressure switches are set at the factory

according to a set of values that depend on

the type of pump. The settings are shown on a

plate attached to the set or the control panel,

or enclosed in the documentation.

In order to modify the settings according to

the system’s hydraulic conditions, make

adjustments to the pressure switch:

1 Ps stop pressure

2 Ps-P differential pressure

6. Start-up

To start the set, proceed as follows:

a. Connect the water supply.

b. Connect the power supply.

c. Check the pre-charge value of the tank.

d. Shut off the pump’s delivery valves.

e. Prime the set (see pumps’ handbook) and the suction manifold.

f. Connect the power supply via the panel switch and set the unit to manual mode.

g. Start the first pump.

h. For three-phase versions, check the rotation direction. If it is incorrect, exchange two

power supply phases.

i.

Open the pump delivery valve slowly and bleed the air.

j.

Repeat the above operations for the other pumps.

k. Set the unit to automatic operation.

Setting a new value

In order to modify the settings within the maximum pressure limits of the pumps and/or

system, after performing the start-up operations proceed in the following manner for each

pump:

a. Adjust the activation (P start) and deactivation (P stop) pressures for each pair of

pressure switches.
