Componentes clave:
- Cuerpo de la bomba: Dark gray cast iron housing for the impeller and water channels.
- Carcasa del motor: Orange casing protecting the electric motor.
- Inlet/Outlet Fittings: Brass threaded connections for plumbing.
- Interruptor de flujo: Orange component with an arrow, detecting water flow to activate the pump.
- Cable de alimentación: Electrical connection with an integrated on/off switch.
4. Configuración e instalación
La instalación adecuada es crucial para el rendimiento y la longevidad de la bomba.
- Ubicación:
- Instale la bomba en un área seca y bien ventilada, protegida de la luz solar directa, la lluvia y las temperaturas bajo cero.
- Asegúrese de que la bomba esté colocada sobre una superficie estable y nivelada para minimizar la vibración.
- Allow adequate space around the pump for ventilation and maintenance access.
- Conexiones de fontanería:
- Connect the pump to the water supply line using appropriate plumbing fittings. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Observe the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the flow switch (Figure 1). The pump must be installed in line with the water flow.
- Use flexible connectors to reduce vibration transmission to the plumbing system.
- Install shut-off valves on both the inlet and outlet sides of the pump for easier maintenance.
- Conexión eléctrica:
- Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and matches the pump's electrical requirements (127 V - 60 Hz).
- Plug the pump's power cord into the grounded outlet.
- Do not use extension cords unless absolutely necessary, and ensure they are rated for the pump's power requirements.
- Cebado de la bomba:
- Before initial operation, ensure the pump is filled with water to prevent dry running. Open a faucet downstream to allow air to escape.
- Once water flows steadily from the faucet, close it. The pump is now primed.
5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The Truper 13499 PRES-1/3T pump operates automatically based on water flow.
- Puesta en marcha inicial:
- After installation and priming, ensure the inline switch on the power cord is in the "OFF" position.
- Conecte la bomba a una toma de corriente adecuada.
- Switch the inline power switch to the "ON" position. The pump will remain off until water flow is detected.
- Operación automática:
- When a water outlet (e.g., faucet, shower) is opened, the flow switch detects water movement.
- The pump automatically starts, boosting water pressure.
- When the water outlet is closed, the flow stops, and the pump automatically shuts off after a short delay.
- Ciclo de trabajo:
- The pump is designed for intermittent use: 50 minutes of work followed by 20 minutes of rest.
- The daily maximum operating time is 6 hours. Adhering to this duty cycle will prolong the pump's lifespan.
6. Mantenimiento
El mantenimiento regular garantiza un rendimiento óptimo y prolonga la vida útil de su bomba.
- Limpieza: Periodically clean the exterior of the pump to prevent dust and debris buildup. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Conexiones: Regularly check all plumbing and electrical connections for leaks or loose fittings. Tighten as necessary.
- Winterización: If the pump is installed in an area subject to freezing temperatures, it must be drained and disconnected during winter months to prevent damage.
- Inspección: Inspeccione el cable de alimentación en busca de signos de daño o desgaste. Reemplace si es necesario.
Warning: Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before performing any maintenance.
