GRUNDFOS KNIGHTXL Magna 3 Variable Speed Pump
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GRUNDFOS MAGNA 3 VARIABLE SPEED PUMP WITH LOCHINVAR BOILERS FOR KNIGHTXL, FTXL, CREST, AND CREST HELLCAT
Installation and Setup Procedure
- Refer to the installation manual provided by the pump manufacturer to install the pump. NOTE: The boiler MUST be installed in the Primary / Secondary piping configuration. A system supply sensor MUST be installed in the Primary (building) loop. Refer to the installation and operation manual provided by the boiler manufacturer to ensure the proper system piping configuration.
- Reference FIG. 1 to connect wiring to the boiler’s low voltage control board on the “Boiler Pump Out” terminal:
- Connect the (+) wire from the boiler to “In” connection on the pump 0-10V wiring terminal.
- Connect the (-) wire from the boiler to the ground terminal on the pump 0-10V wiring terminal.
- Connect line voltage by supplying it directly to the pump. NOTE: This pump is not powered by the boiler. It will have its own dedicated breaker and power supply.
For Knight and FTXL Models: Wire the boiler pump dry contacts located on the boiler’s line voltage terminal directly to the Magna 3 start/stop connection.
For Crest and Lectrus Models: Wire a relay to the 115V boiler pump connections on the boiler’s line voltage terminal. Connect the relay to the Magna 3 start/stop connection.
NOTE: The Magna 3 start/stop terminals have a small jumper installed. To install the wiring you must remove the jumper.
This method of line voltage supply allows the Pump screen to stay on even when the boiler is in Standby mode. For additional information always reference the “Wiring” section in the boiler installation and operation manual. - Reference Tables 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, and 1E on this instruction sheet to determine the setpoint percentage of the pump.
- Follow the procedure below to apply the pump setpoint:
- From the pump Home screen use the arrow keys to select [Setpoint].
- Select [OK] to go to the Setpoint screen.
- Use the arrow keys to assign a setpoint based on the information provided in FIG. 2, on page 3.
- Select [OK] to save the setting.
- Select the [Home] button to return to the Home screen.
- The pump is pre-programmed for 0-10V operation, but the boiler will require setup to control the variable speed pump. Follow the instructions for variable speed pump setup in the boiler installation manual.
