1401 Pump unit with diesel drive
8.3
– The selection switch has three functions:
(1) Pump unit is switched off.
(2) Pump unit is switched on manually.
This means that the pump unit will run continuously. To prevent
damage to the pump it is important that the pump can draw sufficient
liquid.
(3) The pump unit is set to ‘auto start’.*
This means that the pump unit will switch itself on at certain times. The
activation parameters can be set by the user by means of the two float
switches.
If the pump is running in ‘auto start’ mode, the float switches must be
connected to the control panel.
* A wireless remote control is available as an option. If the wireless
remote control has been supplied, position (3) is used for the wireless
remote control. The manual for the remote control is provided
separately.
Note
Because the system is designed for delayed start-up it may take some time before the pump begins to
run.
– The RPM meter shows the speed of the combustion engine. This speed can be adjusted as desired
via the speed regulator.
– The float switch connections are intended to be used for connection of the float switches for
determining the level.
The floats that are used are identical. Connection (9)
switches on the pump unit when the maximum level
(2) is reached. Connection (8) switches off the pump
unit when the minimum level (1) is reached.
When float switches are used it is important that the
pump unit cycle on and off no more than four times
per hour.
Keep this in mind when positioning the float
switches.
