Use 22 mm pipework to and from the pump.

• The expansion pipe from the hot-water cylinder should always

rise in order to prevent trapped air.

• The outlet pipework from the pump to the shower valve should

rise, where possible, to prevent trapped air.

• Pipework from the pump to the shower valve should go up and

over, rather than under floor.

• Do not fit any other outlets in the inlet pipes to the pump.

See fig. 12.

• Use dedicated supplies to hot and cold water.

• Avoid blanked-off pipes.

• Avoid restrictions in the flexible hoses.

• Secure down all pipework to minimise noise and vibration.

4.2 Low-voltage pumps (STL and SSL)

The low-voltage pump incorporates electrical protection via a

safety isolating transformer.

Fig. 25 Connection via transformer

Place the safety isolating transformer according to local

regulations.

All transformers are fitted with auto-resetting thermal cut-outs.

Connect the low-voltage leads from the transformer to the two

terminals marked "T" in the pump terminal box.

The low-voltage pump installation kits are supplied with 3 metres

of connecting lead.

Observe the colour coding on the transformer primary side as

follows:

• Brown to terminal L.

• Blue to terminal N.

The transformer can be left permanently switched on for normal

operation. Very little power is used when the pump is not running.

Fig. 26 Electrical connection of transformer

If the transformer or transformer cables are damaged, replace the

transformer and discard the old one.

5. Startup

1. Turn on the water supply. Allow the system to fill.

2. Immediately inspect for any leaks.

Fig. 27 Inspect for leaks before operation

3. With the pump not running, allow maximum water flow, for

example remove handset from shower hose.

4. Operate maximum hot and cold flows for at least two minutes

to flush out all debris. See fig. 28.

Fig. 28 Operating hot- and cold-water taps

5. Switch on the power supply, run the pump for a few minutes,

switch off, drain down and clean the inlet strainers.

See fig. 29.

Fig. 29 Cleaning the suction strainer

For SSN, SSP, STN and STP pumps, remove the inlet hose from

the pump, and the strainer basket can be removed by hand or

with long-nosed pliers.

6. Replace the inlet strainers and reconnect the hoses.

7. Turn on the water supply. With the power supply off, allow

maximum water flow, for example remove handset from

shower hose.

Caution

Use the transformer supplied.

Do not connect the pump directly to the mains

supply.

TM05 7312 0913

Warning

Do not locate 230-240 V connections, plugs or

switches within the "wet" area in accordance

with IEE regulations.

Caution

8. Operate maximum hot and cold flows for at least five minutes

each to ensure air is thoroughly purged from the system.

9. Replace handset on shower hose.

10. Switch on the power supply.

11. Operate the pump in both full hot and cold modes for at least

two minutes each while inspecting for leaks.

Fig. 30 Inspect for leaks after operation

12. Check that all hot-water connections are tight and not leaking,

when the hot water has been run for several minutes.

See fig. 30.

Fig. 31 Re-tighten connections after operation

The first few times the pump is used, the insulating varnish used

on the pump motor may give off an odour. This is perfectly normal

and will diminish with use.

5.1 Shaft seal run-in

The seal faces are lubricated by the pumped liquid, meaning that

there may be a certain amount of leakage from the shaft seal.

When the pump is started up for the first time, or when a new

shaft seal is installed, a certain run-in period is required before

the leakage is reduced to an acceptable level. The time required

for this depends on the operating conditions, i.e. every time the

operating conditions change, a new run-in period will be started.

Under normal conditions, the leaking liquid will evaporate. As a

result, no leakage will be detected.

6. Universal-head pumps

STN, SSN, STC-1.5 CN, STC-2.0 CN, STL 2.0 CN

6.1 General description

Automatic universal-head shower pumps are designed to operate

automatically in installations where the shower outlets are above

the level of the cold-water storage tank.

Shower pumps, types STN and SSN, feature independent

pressure and flow controls, with built-in non-return valves and

stainless-steel expansion tanks in each pump end. This system

ensures complete hot- and cold-water system isolation with

stable control over a very wide flow range.

Fig. 32 Definition of universal-head pumps

6.2 Dry-running protection

STN, SSN, STC CN and STL 2.0 CN universal-head pumps

feature dry-running protection to avoid damage to seals caused

by water starvation. This condition is possible if the water supply

fails, for instance if the water storage is insufficient or the pump

strainers are blocked.

If the pump runs for 60 seconds with an insufficient water supply,

the pump will stop and "lock out".

Fig. 33 Dry-running protection

Resetting the "lock out"

To reset the pump, switch off the power supply for ten seconds.

Fig. 34 Resetting dry-running protection

When the power supply is switched on again, the pump will run

for a few seconds to recharge the tanks. If it continues to run and

there is no demand, this would indicate that one of the following

situations is still present:

• No water in the system.

• Blocked strainer.

• Air which has not yet cleared.

TM05 7309 0913TM05 7311 0913

Note

Run the pump for five minutes or more at least

once every four weeks in order to prevent the

pump from seizing up. Scale build-up can cause

the pump parts to stick.

6.3 Connecting the pump

• Follow general instructions in section 3. Installation.

• Minimum head of water to supply the pump can be found on

the nameplate.

• Maximum static head of 8 metres, i.e. the highest point of the

system must be less than 8 metres above the pump.

See fig. 35.

Fig. 35 Maximum static head

• Connect the pump side with the larger expansion tank to cold

water and the pump side with the smaller expansion tank to

hot water.

Fig. 36 Expansion tanks

6.4 Operating instructions

Taps and valves used on the "pressure system" must be fully

turned off when not in use to avoid that the pump runs

reciprocating on and off.

6.5 Installation options

Lavatory cisterns

If the pump is to supply a lavatory cistern, take the precautions

below to avoid frequent starting and stopping of the pump due to

low flow rates.

If possible, best practice is to supply the cistern from the mains

water supply. If this is not possible, we recommend a "Torbeck" or

equilibrium valve. If either of these are not possible, the following

instructions should be followed:

• A: The pump is supplied with two expansion or pressure tanks.

They have capacities of 500 ml and 300 ml.

The larger tank must be used on the cold side of the pump.

• B: The cistern-filling pipework must be as free-flowing as

possible with all flow restrictors removed.

It is possible to change the tanks from one side of the pump to

the other. When doing so, take care to ensure that none of the

fibre washers are lost.

Washer dryers

• Only brass pumps must be used for these applications.
