Subject of the supply
The supply includes:
ACTIVE SWITCH unit for the management of rain and non rain water.
•
Fixing bracket and accessories.
•
Water level sensor with 20 meters of cable.
•
Use and maintenance instructions.
•
! Warning: read the present manual before the assembly and operation of the system
The appliance is not intendend for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsable for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance. (EN 60335-1 : 02)
Important safety measures – read carefully
The user is responsible for all that concerns the use of the system (electrical, hydraulic systems etc...) in accordance
with the local safety and installation regulations in force. A qualified electrician must ensure that the required safety
measures are present before the system is started. For use, a differential circuit breaker (residual current detector)
with IΔn=30mA must be installed on the electrical system. Check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to that of
the system. The indications specified on the rating plate must correspond to those of the electrical system. Do not lift
and/or move the system with the power supply cable. Check that the power supply cable and plug are intact. Avoid
that the power supply plug and the system itself are subjected to flooding or direct jets of water. In the event of faults,
repair must be carried out by authorised workshops only and only original spare parts must be used.
We wish to emphasise that we shall not be held responsible for damage caused by:
a) Unsuitable repair carried out by unauthorised technicians.
b) Replacement with non original spare parts.

General description of the system
The ACTIVE SWITCH unit is used for the management and distribution of rain water. The unit detects the lack of
water in both rain water and mains collection system and corrects it to guarantee that the system operates correctly
(or rather, it never lets the identified users run out of water). The system is generally limited to irrigation, washing
machine, WC flushing tank and floor cleaner systems.
The main objective of the ACTIVE SWITCH system is to give priority to the use of rain water over that of the mains
water. When the rain water contained in the collection tank is insufficient, the control unit passes to the mains water
supply thereby ensuring a flow of water at the extraction points (The water supplied by the is not drinkable).
The connection between the rain water collection tank and the mains water collection tank, which is integrated into
the system, is selected by a three-way valve fitted to the pump suction.
The pump operates exactly the same as a pump with a "start-stop" system and flow and pressure control. When the
pressure drops below a preset calibration value the pump starts, when the tap is turned off the pump stops. After a
preset time the pump automatically starts again and if all operations are within the set parameters the pump carries
on operating normally.
The system also includes a special anti-stench and anti-draining trap.
