INSTALLATION

SELECTING A LOCATION

FIGURE 1 – INSTALLATION ZONES

1. The pump should be installed in a horizontal position to prevent damage and ensure proper functioning.
2. Consult IEC / HD 60364-7-702 and national rules for installation compliance.
3. The suction pipe should not exceed a height of 1.5 meters (0.015 MPa) to optimize performance.
4. Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional with proper AC connection and earth connection protected by a residual current device.

Marked zones: the pump cannot be installed here

• The pump cannot be installed in zone 0 (Z0) or zone 1 (Z1). See the regulations in force in the country of installation to confirm the correct distance.
• If the pump is installed above the water level, the pressure differential with the pump suction pipe must not exceed 0.015MPa (1.5mH2O). Make sure that the suction pipe is as short as possible, as a longer pipe increases suction time and reduces the load of the installation.
• A check valve is recommended on the suction and return line of the pump if the pump is located below the water level.

HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

• Observe the direction of the hydraulic connections.
• Install isolation valves on both the suction and return lines for a pump located below water level.
• CALITA 2 VS Pumps come equipped with unions on both the suction and discharge ports.
• The piping must be well supported and not forced together where it will experience constant stress.
• Always use properly sized valves.
• Use the fewest fittings possible. Each additional fitting has the effect of moving the equipment farther away from the water.
• To Reduce the Risk of Fire, install pool equipment in an area where debris will not collect on or around the equipment. Keep surrounding area clear of all debris such as paper, leaves, pine needles. and other combustible materials.
• In order to prevent premature failure or damage to the pump motor, protect the pump from direct water exposure from sprinklers, water runoff from rooftops and drainage, etc. Failure to comply may cause pump failure and may void the warranty.

NOTE If more than ten (10) suction fittings are needed, the pipe size must be increased.

• (A) Pump
• (B) Filter
• (C) Heating system
• (D) Water treatment system

Use the least possible number of L-pieces. If more than 10 L-pieces are to be used, increase the diameter of the pipes. See Table 2 – Specifications for the dynamic head (H max) in meters.

FIGURE 2 – CORRECT INSTALLATION

POWER CONNECTIONS

• Always disconnect the power source before working on a motor or its connected load.
• Only a qualified and experienced technician is authorized to carry out any service, including cabling work within the appliance.
• To prevent overheating of the terminal board, which could create a fire hazard, check that all terminals have been properly tightened. Loose terminals will void the warranty.
• The appliance must connect to the Earth.
• Any unsuitable electrical connection will invalidate the warranty.

FIGURE 3 – Connection Diagram

VOLTAGE CHECKS
Install the pump per the correct voltage as specified on the pump data plate.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

• The CALITA 2 VS pump provides a wiring compartment that is divided into a section for high voltage and a section for low voltage.
  • The low voltage section provides two 1/2” NPT conduit ports (threaded) (see Figure 5).
  • The high voltage section provides two 1/2” NPT conduit ports (threaded).
• Secure the pump using the green screw provided. Ground before attempting to connect to an electrical power supply. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
• Wire size must be adequate to minimize voltage drop during the start-up and operation of the pump.
• Insulate all connections carefully to prevent grounding or short-circuits. Sharp edges on terminals require extra protection. For safety, and to prevent entry of contaminants, reinstall all conduit and terminal box covers. Do not force connections into the conduit box.

NOTE When power alone is supplied to this pump, it will not operate. It requires a digital command sent to it by either a variable speed controller, an automation system, or use of the dry contacts (See Figure 6).

PUMP DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

• DIP switches 3 and 4 must remain in the OFF position when the controller is connected.
• These pumps support auto-addressing. If connecting to an automation system, please refer to your automation system’s manual to determine auto addressing capability.

DRY CONTACT OPERATION

• An external relay or switch wired to the dry contacts can be used as a controller to operate the pump. The dry contacts will have priority over the controller connected to the RS-485 line.
• By connecting one of the inputs to common via an external, non-electrified relay, it will turn on the pump, prime at 100% for 3 minutes, and then go to a pre-determined speed indefinitely until the circuit is broken (See Figure 6). If no inputs are jumped to common, the speed is zero.
• These speed settings cannot be changed.

Dry Contact Speed Settings

• Input 1: 100%
• Input 2: 75%
• Input 3: 52%
• Input 4: STOP

NOTE: If more than 1 speed (Input 1, 2 or 3) is shorted to common at the same time, the motor will run the input with the highest speed. If the STOP (Input 4) is shorted to common, the pump stops having priority over the rest of inputs.

FIGURE 4 – DRY CONTACT SPEED SETTINGS

CONDUCT PRESSURE TESTING

• When pressure testing a system with water, air is often trapped in the system during the filling process. This air will compress when the system is pressurized. Should the system fail, this trapped air can propel debris at a high speed and cause injury. Every  effort to remove trapped air must be taken, including opening the valve on the filter and loosening the pump basket lid while filling the pump.
• Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly purged out of the system before operating. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR CHECK FOR LEAKS.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – Do not pressure test above 2.4 Bar. Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool professional. Circulation equipment that is not tested properly might fail, which could result in severe injury or property damage.
• When pressure testing the system with water, it is very important to make sure that the pump basket lid is completely secure.
• Fill the system with water, using care to eliminate trapped air.
• Pressurize the system with water to no more than 2.4 Bar (241 kPa).
• Close the valve to trap pressurized water in the system.
• Observe the system for leaks and/or pressure decay.

FIGURE 5 – EXPLODED VIEW OF LID ASSEMBLY

USE

START-UP

• Never run the pump without water. Running the pump “dry” for any length of time can cause severe damage to both the pump and motor and will void the warranty.
• If this is a new pool installation, make sure all piping is clear of construction debris and has been properly pressure tested.
• The filter should be checked for proper installation, verifying that all connections and clamps are secure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal injury or death, verify that all power is turned off before starting this procedure.
  1. Release all pressure from the system and open the filter pressure release valve.
  2. Depending on the location of the pump, do one of the following:
     • If the pump is located below the water level of the pool, open the filter pressure release valve to prime the pump with water.
     • If the pump is located above the water level of the pool, remove the lid and fill the basket with water before starting the pump.
  3. Check for debris around the lid o-ring seat before replacing the lid.
  4. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal.
  5. Restore power to the pump.
  6. Once all the air has left the filter, close the pressure release valve.
  7. The pump should prime. The time to prime depends on elevation and pipe length used on the suction supply pipe.
  8. If the pump does not prime and all the instructions to this point have been followed, check for a suction leak. If there is no leak, repeat Steps 2 through 7.
  9. For technical assistance, please contact your dealer.

PUMP BELOW WATER LEVEL

1. Ensure the pump lid is secure by verifying the “locked” indicators are aligned with the pump’s ports. Hand tighten only, do not use tools. Make sure valves are open and the pump unions are tight.
2. Open any isolation valves that may be in place between the pump and the pool’s main drain(s) and skimmer(s).
3. Open the air relief valve on the filter. This will allow air to begin to escape the system and fill the pump with water for priming.
4. Restore power to the pump and start the pump.
5. When water starts to come out of the air relief valve on the filter, close the air relief valve.
6. Inspect system for any leaks.

PUMP ABOVE WATER LEVEL

1. Open the air relief valve on the filter.
2. Remove the pump lid and fill the basket with water.
3. Check for debris around the lid o-ring seat before replacing the lid.
4. Tighten the lid by verifying the “locked” indicators on the lid are aligned with the pump’s ports. Hand tighten only, do not use tools. Make sure all valves are open and the pump unions are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump and start the pump.
6. Once the pump has primed and water comes out of the air relief valve on the filter, close the air relief valve and inspect the system for any leaks.
