Electrical Installation - Astralpool P-XPERT Manuel

PIPING
- Connect the pump's terminals to the corresponding hoses, tightening them firmly with the clamps. (Fig.1)
- To ensure the pump works correctly, prime the pump pre-filter until water rises up through the suction pipe (Fig. 2).
LOCATION
- Fit the pump underneath the water level in the pool to improve pump performance.
- Where a self-priming pump is to be fitted above the water level, the pressure differential to the pump suction should not
be higher than 0.02 MPa (2 mH2O), ensuring that the suction pipe is as short as possible, as a longer pipe would
increase suction time and the installation's load losses.
- Make sure that the pump is safe from possible flooding and receives dry ventilation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

- It is essential that you use a multiple disconnection device with a space of at least 3 mm between surfaces to disconnect
the equipment from the electrical current.
- The electrical installation should be done by someone qualified in working with electrical equipment. This equipment is
not designed for those with physical, sensory or mental handicap or people lacking in experience, unless done under
supervision or with instructions of use from a person in charge of safety.
Do not permit children nor adults to sit or lean on the equipment. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the equipment.
- Adjust the value of the thermal relay appropriately depending on the pump current.
Use a motor guard with magneto-thermal protection (Fig.3).
- Respect the electrical installation and connection conditions. Failure to do so may lead to the pump manufacturer
declining all responsibility and rendering the guarantee null and void.
- Special regulations may exist for the installation.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person
in order to avoid a hazard.
- Unsuitable mains connections involve the risk of electrocution.
4. START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
PRIOR TO START-UP
- Carry out the following operations before starting the pump:
1. Remove the pre-filter cap by unscrewing the nut holding it in place.
2. Fill the pump with water through the pre-filter until it rises up through the suction pipe.
3. Should the basket be removed during these operations, do not forget to replace it to prevent large particles from
entering the pump that could block it.
4. Check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond with those indicated on the pump characteristics plate.
- Fit the pre-filter cap and screw on tight, not forgetting to fit the seal in its housing.
- The pumps must not be run without the pre-filter having first been filled with water. Where this is not the case, the
mechanical gasket may be damaged, leading to a loss of water.
