Fitting the Torrium2 directly to the Pump
The Torrium2 is fitted with a rotary coupling. This coupling allows the pump
controller to be fitted simply and easily to the pump discharge on models
with 1” female outlets.
For Davey models the coupling has an oring
seal. If used on other brands, thread tape
may be required. The controller adaptor nut
is able to rotate independent of the Torrium2
and the complete pump, this allows it to be
tightened onto the pump easily. For ease
of installation a tightening tool is included
with Torrium2 to tighten the controller nut to
ensure a firm connection to your controller.
The ability to rotate the adaptor nut also means that the complete controller,
once fitted to the pump, can be rotated a full 360
o
in the horizontal plane,
without causing the coupling to unscrew from the pump outlet.
For pumps with a 1” male outlet (e.g. XP350, XP450, XJ50, XJ70 and
XJ90) a adaptor socket (P/No. 44992) is required. Thread sealing tape will
be needed when using this adaptor socket to ensure a watertight seal.
Fitting the P/No. 32574 adaptor flange for adapting
to earlier Hydrascan and Torrium flanges.
First, fit the Torrium2 controller with the adaptor flange using a thread tape
to seal, then fit the Torrium2 to the existing union nut on the pump.
DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
The control unit is capable of 360° rotation without loosening the nut, to
enable the most convenient positioning of the discharge piping.

With Torrium2 you can connect the discharge pipework to the
discharge port and/or the vertical priming port. The priming port is
able to be used as a discharge port.
During servicing, use only approved, non-petrochemical based
oring and gasket lubrication. If unsure, consult your Davey Dealer
for advice.
WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon based or hydrocarbon
propelled sprays around the electrical components of this
controller.
NOTE:
a) For protection, Davey pump motors are fitted with an automatic “over
temperature” cut-out. Constant tripping of this overload device indicates a
problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive ambient temperature (above 50°C)
in pump enclosure.
b) The Torrium2 control device may have to be reset after rectifying any of the
above operating troubles. This is done by pushing in the “prime” button and
releasing it after 2 seconds, or switching the power supply off then on.
Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump
to avoid possible injury from pressurised water. Unplug pump,
relieve pressure by opening a tap on the discharge side of the
pump and allow any hot water in the pump to cool before
attempting to dismantle.
WARNING: When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power
is switched off and lead unplugged. Electrical connections should be
serviced only by qualified persons. If the electrical supply lead of this
controller is damaged, the unit must be replaced.
NOTE: The Torrium2 controller is adaptive. If your pump draws air or is subject to
blockage, the Torrium2 adapts to its new maximum pressure. This may result in
your system pressure not dropping below the new cut-in pressure and your pump
not starting. This is more likely to occur when boosting mains pressure. Should this
occur, re-prime your pump unit. Should this not prove successful, it is likely you have
a blockage in the pump. You should contact your Davey dealer for assistance.
