8.2 Adjusting the precharge pressure
When the pump start pressure has been determined,
you can calculate the required precharge pressure of
the diaphragm tank. Adjust the precharge pressure
to 90 % of the start pressure.
When adjusting or reading the precharge
pressure, make sure that there is no water
pressure on the diaphragm tank from the
pipes.
See the installation and operating
instructions for the diaphragm tank. If the
pressure switch setting is changed, adjust
the precharge pressure.
8.3 Setting the start and stop pressure
DANGER
Electric shock
Death or serious personal injury
- Switch off the power supply before
adjusting the pressure switch.
- Fit the cover on the pressure switch
before switching on the power supply to
check the start and stop pressure.
During this task, open the water intake and use the
pump gauge to check the start and stop pressure.
1. Loosen the nut (1) completely.
2. Adjust the nut (2) until you reach the desired start
pressure.
– Clockwise: increase the start pressure.
– Counterclockwise: decrease the start pressure.
3. Adjust the nut (1) until you reach the desired stop
pressure.
– Clockwise: increase the stop pressure.
– Counterclockwise: decrease the stop pressure.
