tion, the electric power consumption of the
circulator pump is reduced further: the energy
(power) used by the pump decreases according
to the pressure level and flow rate. With this
setting, the pump guarantees optimal perfor-
mance in most heating systems, thereby being
particularly suitable in single-pipe and two-
pipe installations. Any noise of the water flow
in the pipes, valves and radiators is eliminated
by reducing the head. Optimal conditions for
thermal comfort and acoustic well-being.
Programs C (3 lower 4 upper) (ΔP-C) - Con-
stant curve (orange LED).
The circulator
pump maintains the pressure level (head)
constant as the system heat demand decreases
(flow rate reduction). With these settings, the
circulator pump is suitable for all floor systems
where all the circuits must be balanced for the
same drop in head.
MIN-MAX Program (Blue LED).
The pump
is distinguished by adjustable operating curves
by positioning the selector in any point between
the Min and Max positions, thereby satisfying
any installation requirement (from a simple
single-pipe to more modern and sophisticated
systems) and always guarantee optimum per-
formance. The precise working point can be
selected in the entire field of use by gradually
adjusting the speed.
Real time diagnostics:
a lit LED (in various
colours) provides information regarding the
pump operating status, see fig. 1-25
Possible pump release.
The pump block is
indicated by a fixed red LED switching on. Turn
the selector up to the MAX position, discon-
nect and reconnect the power to restart the
automatic release process. The pump will then
activate the procedure that will last a maximum
of 15 minutes and the LED will flash upon each
restart. It then turns blue for a few seconds and
goes back to red if the attempt to restart is not
successful. Once the process is complete, set
the selector back to the desired curve and if
the problem has not bee resolved, perform the
manual release procedure as described below.
- Disconnect the power to the boiler (the LED
switches off).
- Close the system flow and return and let the
pump cool down.
- Empty the system circuit via the relative cock.
- Remove the motor and clean the impeller.
- Once unblocked, remount the motor.
- Fill the primary circuit; restore boiler power
and set the desired curve.
Attention:
there is a burns hazard due to high
fluid temperature and pressure.
Burns hazard
from coming in contact.
1.23 CIRCULATION PUMP.
Boilers in the “Hercules Condensing ABT 32 3
ErP” series are supplied with 2 types of circulat-
ing pumps. Set operation modes according to
one's installation requirements.
•
Boiler circulator pump.
The circulating pump
is not equipped with speed selector. To change
operation mode, parameter “Pump sp.” in the
“Configurations” boiler menu must be changed.
Pump release.
If the pump should be blocked
after a long period of inactivity, it must be re-
leased. Loosen the front cap, making sure that
the liquid that escapes cannot cause injury/
damage to persons/objects and turn the mo-
tor shaft very carefully using a screwdriver so
as not to damage the latter. Once the pump is
released, close the vent cap.
•
Direct and mixed zone circulator.
The pump
is ideal for the requirements of each central
heating system in a domestic and residential
environment. In fact, the pump is equipped
with electronic control that allows to set ad-
vanced functions.
Adjustments.
Turn the selector and set it on
the desired curve to adjust the circulator pump.
