Technical Data

Power Cord Grips used in this product: Type "Y". Tool Build Quality: Basic insulation. Thermal insulation on motor winding: Class F.

WARNING: Avoid the risk of electric shock or severe injury. When the power cable gets damaged, it should only be replaced by the manufacturer or at a TRUPER® Authorized Service Center. The build quality of the electric insulation is altered if spills or liquid gets into the tool while in use. Do not expose to rain, liquids and/or dampness.

WARNING: Before gaining access to the terminals, all power sources should be disconnected.

Power Requirements

The tool shall be grounded while in use to prevent electric shock. The hydro pneumatic equipment shall be installed as close as possible to the main power source. Double check the power supply carries the same voltage as indicated on the motor nameplate.

The power supply conductor gauge shall be a minimum 18 AWG. If the distance to the power supply is over 10 meters, a higher gauge conductor (minimum 12 AWG) is recommended.

CAUTION: Connection to the power source shall be carried out by a professional electrician, according to Figure 1 (see page 6, Power Connection).

The professional electrician connecting the equipment shall comply with relevant mandatory rules.

The fixed installation shall include a device for omnipolar disconnection from the power source (thermomagnetic switch or fuse).

Ensure power requirements described in this manual and on the equipment nameplate match the power supply capacity values.

The hydro pneumatic equipment is built with a single-phase motor protected against overload by a thermal device.

Using power extension cables is not recommended for hydro pneumatic equipment. The use of an extension cable causes voltage drop, loss of power in the motor, and overheating.

If connected to a fuse-protected circuit, use delay action fuses Type "D".

WARNING: All cabling, power connections, and ground connection to the system shall comply with the MEXICAN OFFICIAL STANDARD NOM-001-SEDE, POWER INSTALLATIONS (USE) or with the local codes and ordinances. Use a qualified electrician.

Diagram Description (Figure 1): Shows a basic electrical connection diagram with Feed Line, Neutral, Ground Feed, Pump, and Pressurestat.

Parts

The system includes the following main components:

• Pressure switch (Pressurestat)
• Pressure gauge
• Water outlet
• Water inlet
• Pump - Tank interconnection hose
• Purge cap
• Drain cap
• Enclosed power motor with external ventilation
• Jet type pump
• Tank
• Brackets to fix the equipment

Installation

Mounting

• Install in a dry place, protected from weather, with adequate ventilation (A). Ambient temperature shall not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• Use bolts to fix the equipment to a concrete base to prevent vibration (B). Install horizontally for proper functioning.
• Fasten suction and pressure lines to the wall or floor to prevent voltage transmission (C).
• Avoid damaging the equipment or pipes by overtightening joints.
• Use thread tape (Teflon) to seal all joints to prevent air leaks.

Suction Line (Input)

• Suction pipe diameter must not be smaller than the water inlet. Use a larger diameter pipe if suction height exceeds 4 meters.
• The suction pipe must be completely hermetic. Submerge one end at least half a meter in water and install a foot-valve (D). Pipe elbows should bend 90° towards the water connection.
• Keep the suction line as short as possible to maintain suction capacity. Ensure it ascends regularly towards the equipment to prevent air pockets.

CAUTION: Failure to follow these indications will cause air blocks and bubbles, interfering with performance.

If water is drawn from a tank higher than the equipment, purging is automatic (takes a couple of minutes).

Pressure Line (Outlet)

• Install a gate valve (E) on the outlet pipe to adjust flow and pressure.
• Install two check valves (F): one between the pressurized water and the gate valve, and the other between the water storage tank/cistern and the water inlet.

Diagram Description: Illustrates correct and incorrect installation practices for suction and pressure lines, showing components like foot valve (D), gate valve (E), and check valves (F).

Pressure Switch

The hydro pneumatic machine is equipped with a pressure switch (pressurestat) that turns on the motor when the tank pressure is equal to or lower than the starting pressure. The pressurestat turns off the motor when the pressure inside the tank increases up to the stopping pressure.

CAUTION: The pressurestat is factory-calibrated for correct starting and closing pressures.

Preliminary Increase of the Filling Up Pressure

If the equipment starts running after minor water loss (approx. 0.13 gal), re-establish the preliminary filling pressure:

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Open the pressure line to let water flow out completely.
3. Remove the drain cap to empty the tank. The air control valve is located at the rear (horizontal tank) or upper side (vertical tank).
4. Connect a compressor airline with a pressure valve and gauge to the air control valve.
5. Inflate to the preliminary filling pressure: 0.19 MPa - 0.20 MPa (28 PSI - 30 PSI).
6. Reconnect the equipment and check its function.

To avoid issues, regularly check the tank's pre-loading pressure. Disconnect power, open the feed key to release system pressure, remove cap (A), and measure pre-charge pressure at valve (B) with an independent gauge.

CAUTION: Only authorized personnel should open and install the pressurestat. Disconnect power before proceeding.

Diagram Description: Shows the pressure switch and related components, including the pressure gauge connection point (A) and valve (B).

Start Up

Purge

Before the first start-up, after a long period of inactivity, or if air enters the system, fill the pump with clean water:

1. Remove the purge cap (C) and fill with water up to the orifice level.
2. Screw the cap back on and start the hydro pneumatic equipment.

WARNING: Never start the pump when it is empty. If this happens accidentally, turn off the equipment immediately, let it cool down, and then fill it with clean water.

Maintenance

The hydro pneumatic equipment requires minimal maintenance if the following precautions are taken:

• In case of freezing risk, empty the pump completely by removing the drain cap (B). Purge the pump before restarting.
• Periodically check and clean the foot valve (not included) if necessary.
• For long periods of inactivity, it is recommended to empty and rinse the pump with clean water.
