WARNING

Pressurised system

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Before dismantling the pump, drain the system or

close the isolating valves on either side of the

pump. The pumped liquid may be scalding hot and

under high pressure.

CAUTION

Hot surface

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Position the pump so that persons cannot

accidentally come into contact with hot surfaces.

If you change the position of the control box, fill the

system with the liquid to be pumped or open the

isolating valves.

TM06 9092 4520TM06 9093 4520

Do not insulate the control box or cover the operating

panel.

English (GB)

4. Electrical installation

Carry out the electrical connection and protection in accordance

with local regulations.

• The motor requires no external motor protection.

• Check that the supply voltage and frequency correspond to

the values stated on the nameplate. See section

6.4.1 Nameplate.

• Connect the pump to the power supply with the plug supplied

with the pump. See steps 1 to 7.

4.1 Assembling the plug

WARNING

- Connect the pump to earth.

Connect the pump to an external main switch with

a minimum contact gap of 3 mm in all poles.

WARNING

4.2 Dismantling the plug

5. Starting up the product

5.1 Before startup

Do not start the pump until the system has been filled with liquid

and vented. Make sure that the required minimum inlet pressure

is available at the pump inlet. See section 9. Technical data. For

instructions on how to vent the system, see section 5.3 Venting

the pump.

5.2 First startup

After installing the product, see section 3. Installing the product,

turn on the power supply. The light in the operating panel shows

that the power supply has been switched on. See fig. 7.

The pump is factory set to intermediate proportional-pressure

curve, PP2.

5.3 Venting the pump

Fig. 8 Venting the pump

The pump is self-venting through the system. You do not have to

vent the pump before startup.

Air in the pump may cause noise. This noise ceases when the

pump has run for a few minutes.

You obtain quick venting of the pump by setting the pump to

speed III. How fast the pump is vented depends on the system

size and design.

When you have vented the pump, i.e. when the noise has

ceased, set the pump according to the recommendations. See

section 7. Control functions.

You cannot vent the system through the pump. See section

6. Product introduction.

6. Product introduction

6.1 Product description

Fig. 9 Pumped liquids, warnings and operating conditions

ALPHA1 pumps are a complete range of circulator pumps.

6.1.1 Model type

These installation and operating instructions cover ALPHA2 L.

The model type is stated on the packaging and nameplate. See

figs 10.

Fig. 10 Model type on the packaging

TM06 9104 4317

The pump must not run dry.

TM07 7701 4520TM07 7789 4520

English (GB)

6.2 Applications

The pump is designed for the circulation of water in heating

systems as well as air-conditioning and cold-water systems.

Cold-water systems are defined as systems where the ambient

temperature is higher than the temperature of the pumped liquid.

The pump is the best choice for the following systems:

• underfloor heating systems

• one-pipe systems

• two-pipe systems.

The pump is suitable for the following:

• Systems with constant or variable flow rates where you want

to optimise the setting of the pump duty point.

• Systems with variable flow-pipe temperature.

6.3 Pumped liquids

In heating systems, the water must meet the requirements of

accepted standards on water quality in heating systems, for

example the German standard VDI 2035.

The pump is suitable for the following liquids:

• Thin, clean, non-aggressive and non-explosive liquids, not

containing solid particles or fibres.

• Cooling liquids, not containing mineral oil.

• Domestic hot water

Maximum: 14 °dH

Maximum: 65 °C

Maximum peak: 70 °C.

For water with a higher degree of hardness, we recommend

that you use a direct-coupled TPE pump.

• Softened water.

The kinematic viscosity of water is 1 mm2/s (1 cSt) at 20 °C. If the

pump is used for a liquid with a higher viscosity, the hydraulic

performance of the pump will be reduced.

Example: 50 % glycol at 20 °C means a viscosity of approx. 10

mm2/s (10 cSt) and a reduction of the pump performance by

approx. 15 %.

Do not use additives that can or will disturb the functionality of the

pump.

When selecting a pump, take the viscosity of the pumped liquid

into consideration.

For more information about the pumped liquids, warnings and

operating conditions, see fig. 9.

CAUTION

Flammable material

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Do not use the pump for flammable liquids, such

as diesel oil and petrol.

WARNING

Biological hazard

Death or serious personal injury

- In domestic hot-water systems, the temperature of

the pumped liquid must always be according to

local legislation.

CAUTION

Corrosive substance

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Do not use the pump for aggressive liquids, such

as acids and seawater.

7. Control functions

7.1 Elements on the operating panel

Fig. 12 Operating panel

7.2 Display

The display (1) is on when you have switched on the power

supply.

If the pump impeller is rotated, for example when filling the pump

with water, sufficient energy can be generated to light up the

display even if the power supply has been switched off.

7.3 Light fields indicating the pump setting

The pump has different performance settings which you can

select between with the button. See fig. 12 (2).

Every time you press the button , the pump setting is changed.

The pump setting is indicated by light fields in the display. See fig.

13.

Fig. 14 Selection of pump setting for system type

Recommended and alternative pump settings according to fig.

14:

* See section 10.1 Guide to performance curves.

Proportional-pressure curve, PP1 or PP2

Proportional-pressure control adjusts the pump performance to

the actual heat demand in the system. The pump performance

follows the selected performance curve, PP1 or PP2. See fig. 15

where PP1 has been selected. For further information, see

section 10.1 Guide to performance curves.

Fig. 15 The proportional-pressure curves and settings

The selection of the proportional-pressure setting depends on the

characteristics of the heating system and the actual heat

demand.

7.4.2 Pump setting for one-pipe heating systems

Fig. 16 Selection of pump setting for system type

Recommended and alternative pump settings according to fig.

16:

* See section 10.1 Guide to performance curves.

Constant-pressure curve, CP1 or CP2

The constant-pressure control adjusts the flow rate to the actual

heat demand in the system keeping a constant pressure at the

same time. The pump performance follows the selected

performance curve, CP1 or CP2. See fig. 17 where CP1 has been

selected. For further information, see section 10.1 Guide to

performance curves.
