Safety Warnings for Water Pressurizers

Suitable Uses

• The device complies with current safety requirements when used for its intended purpose and within permissible performance restrictions.
• It must not be used for pumping drinking water or for watering foodstuffs. Do not pump explosives, combustibles, aggressive materials, substances harmful to health, or sewage.
• The device is not suitable for commercial or industrial use.
• Improper use or modifications, or the use of unapproved components, may result in unforeseen damage and relieves the manufacturer of legal liability.
• The automatic pump control commands a water pump to start and stop when a tap or valve in the system is opened or closed. It maintains constant pressure and flow when any mains water outlet is open during pump operation.

Warning: The control can be used for potable or non-potable water. In installations where both types of fluid are present, ensure that potable water is not mixed with non-potable water.

Caution: Do not subject the device to rain. Do not use the device around wet areas.

Warning: Do not use the device in areas where there is danger of explosion or near combustible liquids or gases.

Warning: Do not direct the water jet at the device or other electrical components. There is a danger to life due to electric shock.

Caution: Ensure that the extension cord does not contact the water supplying the unit.

• Do not install or turn on the unit when people or animals are in or in contact with the water to be pumped (e.g., a pool).
• Do not leave the unit unattended. If it is to be left for an extended period, unplug it.
• Any repairs should only be made by a Truper Authorized Service Center. Failure to do so exposes you to electric shock and invalidates the warranty.
• Symbols affixed to the device must not be removed or covered. Any information on the device that is no longer legible must be replaced immediately.
• Read and obey the operating instructions before pumping.

Parts

A diagram shows the components of the automatic pump control:

• Water outlet
• Water outlet
• Working indicator lights
• Reset pump
• Water inlet
• Control panel
• Pump connection cord
• Pump connection cable
• Start pressure adjustment screw
• Power cord

Wiring

A diagram illustrates the wiring connections for the automatic pump control. It shows the power cord connecting to the control unit, and the pump connection cord also connecting to the control unit. The control unit has terminals labeled L, N, and Ground for the power cord, and U, V, and Ground for the pump connection.

Note: For domestic use, it is recommended to use a grounded polarized plug for pump operation.

Installation

Automatic Control Coupling

• Attach the automatic control (A) to the pump outlet with a coupling nut (B) and hand tighten. Check that the arrows (C) point in the direction of the outlet line.
• Turn the automatic control to the required position and tighten the coupling nut.
• Connect the outlet of the automatic control to the pressure line (outlet) by means of a flexible hose (D).
• Connect the automatic control to the pump and then to the outlet (E).

Line Connection

• The suction and pressure lines should be installed so they do not exert mechanical force or stress on the pump or control.
• Both lines must be perfectly sealed. Leaks cause air to accumulate and prevent or reduce water output. Avoid bends and slopes to prevent air bubbles. Seal all connections with hemp and paste (for metal threads) or Teflon tape (for synthetic threads).
• All line components should be installed by a professional.

Suction Line Connection (Inlet)

• If the liquid is contaminated, use a suction strainer (A) to protect the pump from sand and dirt.
• Use a check valve (B) so the suction line is not emptied when the pump is switched off.
• The line pipe should have an internal diameter of at least 1" (25 mm). It should be bend resistant and suitable for vacuum use.
• The line should be as short as possible, as pumping capacity decreases with increasing line length.
• The line should rise regularly towards the pump to prevent air pockets.
• Ensure there is sufficient water and the end of the line is always in the water.

Pressure Line Connection (Outlet)

• It is recommended to use a gate or globe valve (C) to facilitate maintenance operations of the automatic control.
• The piping of the line should be fixed so that vibrations, stress, and weight do not affect the pressurizer.

Automatic Control Height

• The height of the line between the automatic control and the pump (D) must match the height of the pressure line outlets.
• If the water column between the pump and the highest tap exceeds 49 ft (approx. 15 meters), the automatic control cannot be installed directly above the pump. It must be raised until the water column between the automatic control and the highest tap does not exceed 49 ft. For example, if the water column is 65 ft from the pump, the automatic control must be placed at a distance of 16 ft above the pump.

Start Up

Draining the Pump

Warning: The pump must be filled with clean water before start-up and during operation, otherwise it will suffer irreparable damage not covered by the warranty.

• After a new connection and before each start-up, check for water leakage or air ingress in both the pump and suction line, making sure that the pump is primed.
• To obtain better suction, the use of a suction filter is recommended.

Start Up Procedure

The following table shows examples for pump selection and control start pressure setting:

Note: 1 bar = 10.2 m.c.a.

• After installation is complete, connect the pressure control to the power supply. The green “On” light on the control panel illuminates to indicate that the control is energized.
• The control automatically turns on the pump when water is needed. If the pressure line is open, the system pressure is reduced below the start pressure and the pump is energized. The yellow light on the control panel illuminates.
• When a line shutoff occurs, the water pressure slowly increases until the cut-in pressure is reached, shutting down the pump. The yellow “Pump On” light on the control panel also turns off.
• The control has a flow sensor which serves to protect the pump when the pump runs dry (no water in the inlet line) for more than 10 seconds. The red “Fault” light on the control panel will illuminate to indicate a supply failure. In this case, check the water supply and installation. Press the red “Reset” button to restore control operation.
• The control is factory set to a start pressure of between 1.5 bar - 1.2 bar. This pressure can be adjusted by turning the screw located on the back of the control according to the needs of the system. It is recommended to adjust the screw when the line is open, as this will reduce the pressure inside the control and make it easier to turn the screw. As a general rule, the start pressure should be 0.2 bar above the gauge head, while the pump to be used should be able to provide at least 0.8 bar above the set pressure.
• The control has a thermal protection switch. The pressurizer stops if an overload condition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after the motor has cooled down.
• To avoid overheating, refer to the troubleshooting section on page 9.
• The plug and connections must be protected against splashing water.

Maintenance

Cleaning and Care

• Regularly inspect all mounting screws and make sure that they are tightened correctly. If any of the screws are loose, tighten them immediately.

Filter Cleaning

• The filter should be cleaned regularly, depending on the contamination of the water supply.

Service

• Tool service should only be performed at a Truper Authorized Service Center. Service and maintenance by unqualified persons can be dangerous and may result in personal injury and invalidate the product warranty.

Storage

• In case of danger of frost, disassemble the device and accessories, clean and store in a place protected from frost. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.
• 1. Switch off the device, disconnect the plug.
• 2. Open the pressure line (open the faucet or nozzle), allow the water to drain completely.
• 3. Drain the pump completely by unscrewing the drain plug.
• 4. Disassemble the suction and pressure lines of the device.
• 5. Store the device in a frost-free room (at least 41 °F / 5 °C).
