Need help?Do you have a question about the DAB DIVERTRON 1000 and is the answer not in the manual?
The DIVERTRON pump is a multi-impeller submersible pump designed for various water pumping applications, particularly for rainwater and mains irrigation systems. It is suitable for pumping water from tanks, ponds, and wells, as well as other applications requiring high pressure. The pump is equipped with built-in electronics that manage its operation (ON/OFF) and protect it from damage.
Before operating the DIVERTRON pump, it is crucial to read the instruction booklet thoroughly and keep it for future reference. For safety reasons, the pump should not be used by anyone under 16 years of age or by anyone who has not read and understood the instructions. Children must be kept away from the pump during operation.
The power cord should never be used to carry or move the pump; always use the pump's handle. When the pump is connected to the electric power supply, avoid all contact with water. Never remove the plug by pulling on the power cord. Before performing any maintenance or action on the pump, always disconnect it from the power socket. No individuals should be present in the liquid being pumped while the pump is in use.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized customer support service to prevent risks. The pump is equipped with a thermal overload safety device. If the motor overheats, this device automatically switches off the pump. The cooling time is approximately 15 to 20 minutes, after which the pump automatically restarts. If the overload cutout trips, it is essential to identify and address the cause of the overheating.
The DIVERTRON pump's built-in electronic control unit manages its operation and prevents damage. It protects the pump against dry running conditions through a sophisticated priming cycle. When started, the pump performs four priming trials, each lasting 30 seconds (motor ON) with 3-minute pauses (motor OFF). If no water is detected after these trials, the pump will stop for an hour before attempting to prime again. If this second trial also fails, there will be a 5-hour pause. Afterward, if the lack of water persists, the pump will attempt to prime every 24 hours until it successfully picks up a prime.
During normal operation, if the water supply is insufficient for more than 40 seconds, the pump will go into alarm and initiate a priming cycle. In this scenario, priming trials are conducted after 1, 5, and 24 hours until the pump successfully picks up a prime.
The electronic unit also protects the pump from damage caused by the blocking of the Non-Return Valve (NRV). Such blockages are typically due to dirt deposits or sand, which can cause the pump to operate even when there is no water demand from the end-user. The protection function automatically stops the pump every hour; if no damage is detected, the pump restarts immediately. If the NRV is blocked, the pump goes into alarm and stops. In this case, the pump can only be restarted after unplugging it and removing the obstruction to the NRV.
The best working condition for the DIVERTRON is when it is completely submerged in water. The motor's cooling system allows for short periods of use at the minimum suction height. The pump is equipped with a stainless steel anti-deposit suction grid. The temperature of the fluid being pumped must never exceed 95°F.
The DIVERTRON pump must not be used to pump salt water, sewage, flammable, corrosive, or explosive liquids (e.g., petroleum oil, petrol, thinners), grease, oils, or foodstuffs. When using the pump for domestic water supply, comply with all local water authority rules and regulations.
Before starting the pump, ensure that the voltage and frequency specified on the pump's nameplate match the available power supply. Check for any signs of damage to the pump or its power cord. The electrical connection must be made in a dry place, protected from flooding. The electrical system should include a residual current circuit-breaker (GFI Ground Fault Indicator with I An S 30 mA) and an efficient earthing connection. Any extension cords used must comply with the requirements of the DIN VDE Standard 0620.
To ensure proper operation, the pump must only be used when immersed in water. It should be placed in a stable position inside the trap or the lowest possible location where it is installed. Periodically, it is advisable to check that no dirt (leaves, sand, etc.) has accumulated in the trap or around the suction grid.
The DIVERTRON pump is maintenance-free. However, it is essential to prevent freezing. In freezing temperatures, remove the pump from the liquid, empty it, and store it in a place where it cannot freeze. Always disconnect the pump from the mains before performing any cleaning operation.
Before attempting any troubleshooting, disconnect the pump from the power supply. If there is any damage to the power cord or pump, all necessary repairs or replacements must be handled by the manufacturer or an authorized customer support service, or by an equally qualified party, to prevent risks.
Common issues include the motor not starting or making no noise, which could be due to a lack of power, no water (pump in alarm mode), or a blocked NRV (pump in alarm mode). Solutions involve checking the power supply, water level, and cleaning the valve. If the pump delivers no water, the suction grid or piping may be clogged, or the impeller might be worn or stuck. This requires removing obstructions or replacing the impeller. A low flow rate can be caused by a partially blocked suction grid or partially blocked/encrusted impeller or delivery pipe, necessitating the removal of obstructions. If the pump stops running due to thermal overload, it could be because the pumped liquid is too dense, the water temperature is too high, a solid object is blocking the impeller, or the power supply does not match the nameplate data. In such cases, disconnect the power cord, address the cause of overheating, wait for the pump to cool, and then resume operation.
