GENERAL INSTALLATION
1. Fitting an Auto Pressure Control or Mains Water Switch Over Device
If you are using a Vada Auto Pressure Control or Mains Water Switch Over Device with your pump, it needs to be mounted externally to the tank
in a suitable position in line with the delivery piping. This can be achieved using a mounting bracket. The unit should be mounted vertically in a
position which is out of the weather. Depending on the type of plumbing fitting used to connect to the inlet (underside) of the Auto Pressure
Control or Mains Water Switch Over Device, the unit may not be clamped firmly to the bracket. We recommend a spacer is fitted where
necessary.
For further instructions on connecting these devices, please refer to the manual for your unit. Ensure that the power lead remains disconnected
until you have completed the installation process.
2. Locating the Pump
Using the anchor point at the top of the pump, connect a nylon rope (provided) or a stainless steel cable suitable to sustain it’s weight. Anchor
the other end of the rope or cable so that it balances the weight of the pump as it rests upright at the base of the tank/well.
3. Power Source
Arrange for an electrician to install a 10A weatherproof outdoor power point near the pump if there is not one there already.
4. Suction
It is advisable to fit an automatic level control/float switch to prevent the pump from running without fluids.
The V75-S inlet is intentionally raised from the base to prevent the pumping of sediment. To raise this height further, use a length of 3” PVC pipe
and insert it into the specially designed base of the pump.
5. Discharge
The length and diameter of the discharge hoses/pipes will affect the pressure and flow rate at which your pump operates. Pressure ratings of all
components must exceed the maximum pressure of the pump by an appropriate safety factor. All pipe work should be supported independently
of the pump.
VADA - V75-S
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This appliance is not intended 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 responsible for their safety.
The pump must be supplied by an outlet protected
by a residual current device or earth leakage circuit
breaker with a maximum rated residual current of
30mA
The pump is supplied with:
•
A fixed cable featuring a weatherproof IEC socket
•
A separate power cable which features a weatherproof IEC plug and a standard Australian 10 amp plug.
If connecting directly to a power outlet, simply connect the two supplied cords using the IEC socket and plug. If you are installing a Vada Auto
Pressure Control or a Mains Water Switch Over Device, connect the IEC socket from the pump to the IEC plug cord on the device. Before plugging
the power supply cord into the socket outlet, ensure that the socket outlet is supported by the delivery pipes at 3 metre intervals.
Ensuring there are no water traces on the connectors push them firmly into each other to ensure intended splash (water) proof protection. This
connection shall be separated again only for service purpose and only after the power supply is removed by unplugging the cord from the socket
outlet. The socket outlet shall be in dry and flood free location; preferably do not use extension cords for this very reason and because they can
cause voltage drop. Supply voltage outside limits specified in Model Data can cause motor overheat leading to overload tripping, reduced
component life or seriously damage pump and voids warranty.
For additional protection, the pump must be supplied from an outlet protected by a residual current device – RCD (also known as an Earth
Leakage Circuit breaker – ELCB) with a maximum rated residual current of 30mA.
