- Adhere to all local electrical and plumbing codes.
2.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the System: Drain the heating system completely and ensure all valves are closed.
- Mount the Pump: Install the pump in the designated location, ensuring it is securely fastened and oriented correctly (refer to pump markings for flow direction).
- Connect Piping: Connect the inlet and outlet pipes to the pump using appropriate fittings. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the pump to the electrical supply according to the wiring diagram provided with the pump (not included in this manual, refer to product packaging). Ensure proper grounding.

3. Operating Instructions
The Wilo Inverter Circulation Pump is designed for user-friendly operation with its intelligent control system.
3.1 Initial Start-up
- After successful installation and system filling, restore power to the pump.
- The pump will typically perform an automatic self-check.
- Observe the display or indicator lights for operational status.
3.2 Mode Selection
The pump features integrated differential pressure regulation. Depending on the model and specific controls, you may be able to select different operating modes (e.g., constant pressure, proportional pressure, fixed speed). Refer to the pump's control panel for available settings and adjustments.
- Constant Pressure Mode: Maintains a constant differential pressure regardless of flow rate.
- Proportional Pressure Mode: Adjusts differential pressure proportionally to the flow rate, reducing pressure at lower flow rates.
- Fixed Speed Mode: Operates at a constant speed, suitable for systems with stable flow requirements.
Use the control buttons on the pump's interface to cycle through modes and adjust settings as needed for your heating system's requirements.
4. Maintenance
