Red operating knob
- Select control mode.
- Set differential pressure setpoint H.
- Activate the venting function.
Control modes
Variable differential pressure (Δp-v):
The differential pressure setpoint H is increased linearly from ½ H to H across the volume flow range.
Note: Factory setting: Δp-v, ½ H
The differential pressure generated by the pump is adjusted to the corresponding differential pressure setpoint.
Note: Recommended for heating systems with radiators to reduce the flow noises at the thermostatic valves.
Constant differential pressure (Δp-c):
The differential pressure is kept constant at the differential pressure setpoint H.
Note: Recommended for underfloor heating, large-sized pipes as well as all applications without changeable pipe system curve (e.g. storage charge pumps).
Venting
The venting function vents the pump automatically. The heating system is not vented.
Safety
2.1 Intended use
The high-efficiency circulation pumps in the WiloYonos PICO series are exclusively designed for circulating fluids in hot water heating systems and similar systems with constantly changing volume flows.
Permitted fluids:
- Heating water in accordance with VDI 2035.
- Water-glycol mixtures* with a maximum of 50% glycol.
*Glycol has a higher viscosity than water. If glycol is added, the delivery data of the pump must be corrected to suit the mixing ratio.
Intended use includes observing these instructions and the data and markings on the pump.
Misuse
Any use beyond the intended use is considered misuse and will result in the loss of all liability claims.
Warning: Misuse of the pump can lead to dangerous situations and property damage.
- Never use non-specified fluids.
- Never allow unauthorised persons to perform work.
- Never operate the pump outside of the specified limits of use.
- Never carry out unauthorised conversions.
- Use authorised accessories only.
- Never operate with phase angle control.
2.2 Operator responsibilities
- Keep children and people with limited physical, sensory or mental capacity, or insufficient experience, away from the pump.
- Have all work carried out by qualified personnel only.
- Ensure on-site contact protection from hot components and electrical hazards.
- Have defective seals and connecting cables replaced.
2.3 Safety instructions
Electrical current
Danger: Electrocution hazard! Immediate danger to life if live components are touched.
- Only allow qualified electricians to work on the electrical system.
- Before commencing work, switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again.
- Never open the control module (6) and never remove control elements.
- Have defective connecting cables replaced immediately by a qualified electrician.
Magnetic field
Warning: Risk of fatal injury from magnetic field!
Highly magnetic components are fitted inside the pump; they can cause fatal injury to people with medical implants if the pump is dismantled.
- Never remove the rotor.
Hot components
Warning: Risk of burns!
Pump housing (1) and glandless pump motor (2) may become hot and result in burns on contact.
- Only touch the control module (6) during operation.
- Allow the pump to cool down before commencing any work.
Hot fluids
Warning: Risk of scalding!
Hot fluids can result in scalding. Before installing or removing the pump, or undoing the housing screws (5), note the following:
- Allow the heating system to cool down completely.
- Close shut-off devices or drain the heating system.
Damage to electronic components
Caution: Damage to electronic components!
Pulsed mains voltage can lead to damage to electronic components.
- Only operate the pump with sinusoidal AC voltage as stated on the rating plate (4).
- Never operate the pump with phase angle control.
- When switching the pump on or off using an external control unit, deactivate any voltage pulsing (e.g. phase angle control).
- For applications where it is not clear whether the pump is operated with pulsed voltage, get the control/system manufacturer to confirm that the pump is operated with sinusoidal AC voltage.
- Switching the pump on/off via triacs/solid-state relays must be examined on a case-by-case basis.

Installation
4.1 Installation
May only be installed by qualified technicians.
Preparation
- Choose an installation point that is as easily accessible as possible.
- Observe the pump’s allowable installation position (Fig. 2), rotate the motor head (2+6) if necessary.
Caution: Damage to the pump!
An incorrect installation position may damage the pump.
- Select the installation point in line with the allowable installation position (Fig. 2).
- The motor must always be installed horizontally.
- The electrical connection must never face upwards.
- Install shut-off devices upstream and downstream of the pump to facilitate pump replacement.
Caution: Damage to the pump!
Leaking water may damage the control module.
- Align the upper shut-off device such that leaking water cannot drip onto the control module (6).
- Align the upper shut-off device laterally.
- When installing in the feed of open systems, the safety supply must branch off upstream of the pump (EN 12828).
- Complete all welding and brazing tasks.
- Flush the pipe system.
Rotating the motor head
Rotate the motor head (2+6) before installing and connecting the pump.
- Hold the motor head (2+6) and unscrew the 4 housing screws (5).
Caution: Damage to the inner seal!
Damage to the inner seal leads to leaks.
- Carefully rotate the motor head (2+6) without removing it from the pump housing (1).
- Carefully rotate the motor head (2+6).
- Observe the allowable installation position (Fig. 2) and the direction arrow on the pump housing (1).
- Tighten the 4 housing screws (5).
Installing the pump
Observe the following points when installing the pump:
- Note the direction arrow on the pump housing (1).
- Install tension-free with horizontal glandless pump motor (2).
- Place seals in the screwed connections.
- Screw on threaded pipe unions.
- Tightly screw the pump and the pipes together.
- If necessary, thermally insulate the pump housing (1) with insulating shell (accessory).
Caution: Damage to the pump!
Insufficient heat dissipation and condensation water may damage the control module and the glandless pump motor.
- Do not thermally insulate the glandless pump motor (2).
- Ensure all condensate drain openings (3) are kept free.
4.2 Making the electrical connection
The electrical connection may only be made by a qualified electrician.
Preparation
- The current type and voltage must agree with the specifications on the rating plate (4).
- Maximum back-up fuse: 10 A, slow-blow.
- Only operate the pump with sinusoidal AC voltage.
- When switching the pump externally, deactivate any voltage pulsing (e.g. phase angle control).
- Switching the pump via triacs/solid-state relays must be examined on a case-by-case basis.
- Note switching frequency:
– Switch-on/off procedures via mains voltage ≤ 100/ 24 h.
– ≤ 20/h for a switching frequency of 1 min. between switching on/off via mains voltage. - The electrical connection must be made via a fixed connecting cable equipped with a connector device or an all-pole switch with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm (VDE 0700/Part 1).
- Use a connecting cable with a sufficient outer diameter (e.g. H05VV-F3G1.5) to protect against leaking water and to ensure strain relief at the threaded cable connection.
- Use a heat-resistant connecting cable where fluid temperatures exceed 90 °C.
- Ensure that the connecting cable does not make contact with either the pipes or the pump.
Fitting the Wilo-Connector
- Disconnect the connecting cable from the power supply.
- Observe the terminal allocations (PE, N, L).
- Connect and fit the Wilo-Connector (Figs. 3a to 3e).
Connecting the pump
- Earth the pump.
- Connect the Wilo-Connector (9) to the control module (6) until it snaps into place.
Removing the Wilo-Connector
- Disconnect the connecting cable from the power supply.
- Remove the Wilo-Connector using a suitable screwdriver (Fig. 4).
