1. DESCRIPTION.
The BASIC Automatic multiport valve is based on a manual valve with bolts on cover,
where fits an electric actuator in order to automate Backwash, Rinse, Filter and Waste
functions.
This is a great advantage due to dimensions and hydraulic connections are the same,
making easier the update of a manual valve to an automatic BASIC valve.
In this manual you can find how to connect the valve to a standard electric box
from Astralpool (point 3) or to a DUAL SPEED electric box (point 4).
2. HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
From a hydraulic point of view, BASIC valve is a manual standard valve. It should be
installed in the same way as any other manual valve.
The only difference in this section is the installation of a hydraulic electrovalve on the
waste port which gives security against sudden power supply failures (avoids accidental
wastes).
3. ELECTRIC CONNECTION TO AN ASTRALPOOL STANDARD ELECTRIC BOX
It´s important to know that, electrically, Basic valve is universal for any pump (0,75 CV,
1 CV, 2 CV, etc). This is possible due to it works over the electric operation of the electric box of
the pool.
For a correct installation, you may need:
-
3-wire cable for the power supply.
-
2-wire cable for the manoeuvre.
-
2-wire cable for the electrovalve.
