PRECAUTIONS & SPECIFICATIONS

Pumpwave™ Press - Electronic Pump Controller

GENERAL INFORMATION

The PumpWave Press automatic pump controller is completely silent and designed to work with a pump to provide an

automatic supply of clean water to one or two dwellings. This compact kit is comprised of a check valve, electronic circuit,

and reset button. It is designed to maintain constant pressure, prevent pump dry run, and eliminate water hammering. It has

a small reservoir of water to prevent the small draw-o pump starts due to a leaks and dripping taps. If water consumption

exceeds 1 LPM / 0.25 GPM, the pump will operate continuously. When the pump reaches maximum pressure, the controller

automatically switches the pump o. It is crucial to strictly follow the wiring diagrams and installation instructions to avoid

overloading the control circuit and to avoid other problems associated with misuse. Unit selection must consider the fact that

the dierential pressure must be over 0.7 bar / 10 psi.

HANDLING

The unit is supplied suitably packaged to prevent shipping damage. Before installation check that the packaging and unit has

not been damaged or deformed.

These instructions are designed to ensure the correct installation and best use of the PWClassic automatic pump

controller.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

These symbols indicates the risk level deriving from failure to observe the prescribed safety

precautions.

Failure to observe may result in risk of electric shock.

DANGER

Failure to observe may result in risk of injury or property damage.

WARNING

Failure to observe may result in risk of damaging the device and/or pump.

CAUTION

Read these instructions before installing the unit and save them for future reference.

Ensure all connections between the electronic circuit and the power and motor cables are properly made.

Failure to adhere to the instructions can result in premature failure of the pump and voiding of the warranty.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Pumpwave™ Press - Electronic Pump Controller

• The discharge pipework diameter should be equal to or larger than that of the pump discharge. It should not rest

against the controller and should be checked for watertightness.

• It is recommended to connect the controller using a ﬂexible hose to the discharge pipework to prevent damage to

the controller.

• No check valve is required.

INSTALLATION

DISCHARGE PIPEWORK ASSEMBLY

• Designed for indoor use only.

• Connect the controller directly to the discharge of the pump or in line with the discharge

pipes. Ensure connections are properly sealed and are watertight (e.g. by using Teﬂon

tape). Note no taps can be installed between the pump and the controller.

• Note: The controller must remain in a horizontal position at all times, with the suction side

at the bottom and the discharge side facing up.

• The pump and controller assembly should be protected from risk of ﬂooding and installed

in a sheltered and well-ventilated area.

• If the pump and controller are directly connected to the mains supply, the incoming

pressure must be added to that provided by the pump. Total pressure may never exceed

10 Bar / 150 psi.

• If the column of water between the pump and the highest tap exceeds 15m / 50 ft., the

unit cannot be installed directly on the pump. It must be installed higher up the pipework

so that the column of water between the controller

and the highest tap does not exceed 15m / 50 ft. For

example, if the water column extends 20m / 65 ft.

above the pump, then the controller must be installed

5m / 16 ft. above the pump.

• See Installation Diagrams (Fig. 1) for common

installation methods.

• The electrical installation must have multiple isolators with minimum 3mm contact openings. The protection of the

system will be based on a dierential switch (fn=30mA).

• Do not remove the circuit board from the controller.

• Ensure the controller face plate is properly mounted and screws tightened to prevent water ingress into the electrical

circuit board compartment.

• Electrical connection and dimensioning must be

performed by a qualiﬁed installer according to

onsite requirements and be in accordance with local

regulations and codes.

• Nominal pump current should not exceed 16A and the

maximum motor power should never exceed 1.5 kW.

• The supply cable should comply with IEC standards or

be of type IEC60227/60228.

• See Electrical Connection Diagram (Fig. 2) for correct

wiring connections.

• The controller can also be connected to dierent kinds

of pump motors as well as remote switches, see Pump

Wiring Diagrams (Fig. 3)

B. The pump operates but provides no ﬂow.

C. The pressure is not sucient.

D. The pump is constantly stopping and starting.

E. The pump does not start.

POSSIBLE FAULTS, CAUSES & SOLUTIONS

• Before starting the pump, ensure that the grid voltage and frequency match those featured on the data plate,

that the pump shaft turns freely, and that the pump body is primed and full of water. The pump should never be

operated dry.

• The controller is pre-set by the manufacturer at a restarting pressure of 1.5 bar / 22 psi. The pressure produced by

the pump should be at least 0.8 bar / 12 psi greater than the controller’s pre-set pressure.

• Open all gate valves in the suction and discharge lines, switch on the power, and the pump will start automatically.

The green “Power On” LED will illuminate. When the pump is running the yellow “Pump On” LED will illuminate.

• During startup leave a discharge tap open to bleed any air that might be in the system.

• Close the tap once water runs smoothly. The pump will automatically stop when it reaches maximum head

pressure.

• If the pump is not properly primed or there is no water supply, the controller will shut the pump down after 10

seconds due to lack of water. The red “Failure” LED will illuminate.

• Once water supply is recovered and/or the pump has been properly primed, repeat the startup operation, and

press and hold the reset button for three seconds.

• If the pump does not operate, does not produce pressure, or does not shut down, determine the cause using the

troubleshooting guide provided below:

MAINTENANCE

• The controller does not require speciﬁc maintenance, but it should be emptied when temperatures are low and there is a

risk of freezing or if the unit will not be used for a long period of time.

• If the unit will not be used for a very long period, it should be drained, cleaned, and stored in a dry, well-ventilated area.

DISPOSAL

• Check with local authorities for proper disposal and recycling.
