Do you have a question about the DAB e.sybox Series and is the answer not in the manual?

The e.sybox is an integrated system primarily composed of a self-priming multi-stage centrifugal electropump, an electronic control circuit, and an expansion vessel. It is designed for water systems supply and pressure boosting for domestic or industrial use. The device features an inverter control system that maintains a constant pressure value in delivery and ensures energy saving.

Function Description

The e.sybox automatically switches on and off based on utility needs, detecting and preventing malfunctions. The inverter varies the electropump's rotation speed to keep the hydraulic circuit pressure constant. This modulation prevents pressure drops at increased flow requests and excessively high pressures at low flow rates, optimizing energy consumption by supplying only the necessary power.

The system includes an integrated expansion vessel with a 2-liter capacity. This vessel helps maintain the system's elasticity and prevents frequent pump starts. If a flow of water is detected within 10 seconds of startup, the pump is primed and begins regular operation. If not, a priming procedure is initiated.

The e.sybox can be installed in two configurations: horizontal or vertical. The user interface panel, consisting of a display and keyboard, allows for system setup, status queries, and alarm communication. The panel can be rotated 90° for convenient reading.

The device offers various operating modes and accessory functions, configurable via input and output channels. These include constant pressure operation, set-point adjustment, pressure reduction for restart, and anti-cycling.

Usage Features

Installation: Designed for indoor use, not exposed to atmospheric agents. It operates in environments between 0°C and 50°C, provided the electrical supply is ensured (antifreeze function). Suitable for treating drinking water.
Hydraulic Connections: All hydraulic connections are threaded female type 1" GAS, made of brass. For vertical installation, the input is on Face F and output on Face F. For horizontal installation, input is on Face C and outputs on Face C ("OUT 1") and/or Face D ("OUT 2").
Loading Operation: For "above head" installations, the system is filled with clean water through the filling cap (Face F for horizontal, Face C for vertical), ensuring air is released. For "below head" installations, it loads automatically by venting trapped air through the filling cap.
Electrical Connections: Requires a separate electrical duct for noise immunity. The electrical connection must be in a dry place, far from flooding, and include a differential switch with IΔn ≤ 30 mA and an efficient earth system.
Priming: After filling and configuration, connect power with at least one utility open. If flow is detected, priming is successful. If not, the system prompts for a priming procedure.
Error Conditions: The system displays fault and warning indications (e.g., "BL" for water lack, "OC" for motor overload). Some errors self-reset, while others require manual intervention.
Control Unit Integration: Can be connected wirelessly to a remote control unit (e.g., e.sylink) for digital inputs, relay outputs, remote pressure sensing, and network communication.
Safety Mode: In case of communication loss or control unit error, the e.sybox switches to safety mode, indicated by a flashing icon.
Multi-pump Systems: Supports up to 4 e.sybox units in a pump set. Parameters can be local or sensitive (aligned across devices). The system automatically assigns addresses and determines the starting order based on working hours and inactivity.
Accessory Tool: A multi-function cross key is provided for removing caps, filling, and accessing the non-return valve.

Maintenance Features

General System Reset: Hold down all 4 keys simultaneously for 2 seconds. This is equivalent to disconnecting and reconnecting power.
Factory Settings Restore: Switch off the device, wait for the display to turn off, then press and hold "SET" and "+" keys while powering on until "EE" appears. This restores factory settings but requires reconfiguring system parameters.
Non-return Valve: The integrated non-return valve can be extracted, cleaned, or replaced if it malfunctions due to solid bodies or sand.
Motor Shaft: If the pump fails to start after inactivity due to calcification, the motor shaft can be manually turned using a straight tip screwdriver to free it.
Expansion Vessel: Air pressure in the expansion vessel should be checked and adjusted as per paragraph 1.2. The vessel can be replaced if damaged.
Firmware Update: Firmware can be updated between e.sybox units or via e.sylink to align versions in multi-pump systems or add new functions. Manual, automatic, and semi-automatic update procedures are available.
Emptying the System: Disconnect power, open delivery taps, and remove the drainage cap (Face E) to drain water.
