4. Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the pump's efficient and safe operation. Refer to local regulations and standards.
4.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Verify that the power supply matches the pump's requirements (220V-240V/50Hz).
- Ensure the installation location is protected from moisture, freezing, and excessive heat.
- Check that the piping system is clean and free of debris.
- Confirm that the system can be drained for installation and maintenance.
4.2 Mounting
- Mount the pump in a horizontal position with the motor shaft horizontal.
- Ensure sufficient space around the pump for ventilation and future maintenance.
- Use the provided screw fittings and gaskets to connect the pump to the piping system. Tighten connections securely to prevent leaks.
- Observe the flow direction arrow on the pump housing.
4.3 Electrical Connection
- Disconnect the main power supply before making any electrical connections.
- Connect the pump to a dedicated electrical circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection.
- Use the provided cable adapter for a secure and proper electrical connection.
- Ensure proper grounding according to local electrical codes.

5. Operating Instructions
The IBO NOVA 25-60/130 pump features an intuitive control panel for easy operation and mode selection.
5.1 Control Panel
The control panel is located on the top of the motor. It features a digital display that shows the current energy consumption (in Watts) and indicators for the selected operating mode. A single button allows cycling through the various modes.
5.2 Operating Modes
The pump offers 8 operating modes to optimize performance for different system requirements. These modes typically include:
- Constant Pressure Modes (CP1, CP2): Maintains a constant differential pressure regardless of flow rate.
- Proportional Pressure Modes (PP1, PP2): Adjusts differential pressure proportionally to the flow rate.
- Constant Speed Modes (I, II, III): Operates at a fixed speed, suitable for systems with stable flow requirements.
- Night Mode (ECO): Reduces pump speed and power consumption during periods of lower demand, typically at night.
To select a mode, press the button on the control panel repeatedly until the desired mode is indicated on the display.

6. Maintenance
The IBO NOVA 25-60/130 pump is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular checks can ensure long-term reliability.
- Annual Inspection: Check for any signs of leakage, unusual noises, or vibrations.
- System Flushing: Ensure the heating system is flushed periodically to prevent accumulation of sludge and debris, which can affect pump performance.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free from dust and dirt to ensure proper heat dissipation.
- Winterization: If the system is shut down for an extended period in cold weather, ensure the pump and piping are drained to prevent freezing.
Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
