UP03=1
Alternative operation mode, i.e. after the first attempt
(15s), Er01 is displayed and the pump will try to start
again every 10 minutes for 5 seconds, after that the
pump will try to start again every 24h for 5s (there's
no limit of attempts in this case). However, it is still
possible to manually reset or restart the pump.
Obviously, manual reset is possible even by switching
the pump off and back on.
In case of pump not primed with water inside the pump
casing.
The first priming attempt lasts 120s and the next ones
last for 30s for maximum 5 times.
If UP03=1 the attempts continue every 24h lasting 30s.
7.5.3. Forced start
To avoid any mechanical blocks, if the pump is in
stand-by state for more than 24 hours, the pump
starts running for a minimum time of 5 seconds, and
then until the stop pressure UP01 has been reached.
A forced starting does not take place if the pump has
been manually turned OFF.
7.5.4. Forced stop
By the parameter AP03 it is possible to set a timer
that forces the pump to stop if it works in lower power
consumption conditions. In this way it is possible to
avoid that the pump does not stop when there is no
water demand from the final users.
AP03 is disabled by default but values from 5 to 60
minutes can be entered.
7.5.5. Enabling safe-start
Safe-start function prevent a peak of pressure in the
system pipework. The Safe-start function triggers
whenever a supply disconnection occurs.
To enable this function, it is necessary to set the
parameter AP04 with a value other than zero (default).
At every interruption of the voltage supply, when the
voltage supply is restored, the pressure value will
reach the 70% of the set-point value (UP01) for a time
defined by in the parameter AP04. After that time
the pressure assumes the set-point value as in normal
mode.
7.6. PASSWORD insertion
To enter on a menu with password, four numbers
appear on the display, the number to insert is blinking.
By pushing buttons (plus) or (minus) you can change
the blinking value. If you confirm with (enter) the next
number start blinking.
If the password is correct you can enter on the MENU, if
the password is wrong the first number restart blinking.
To exit the program, push (menu) until you arrive on
the basic display, when you are out from the set-up
mode the icon disappear.

8. STARTUP AND OPERATION

8.1. Preliminary checks before start-up of the
pump
Do not start-up the device in case of damaged parts.
8.2. Parameters to be set at the start-up
The electric pump is already set with all the operating
parameters, therefore it is not necessary to modify any
parameters for operation.
META Rev1-1 - Operating Instructions
ATTENTION: at the first starting check that with all the
taps closed the system stops. If the pump do not stop
change the stop pressure (UP01) according with the
system needs, check that there are not suction losses
and check that there is no air inside the pipes.
8.3. Suction pressure set-up
The system allows the set of pumps suction pressure.
To set the pumps suction pressure, parameter AP01
must be changed.
ATTENTION: once the parameter AP01 has been
modified it is necessary to modify the parameters
UP01 and UP02 so that they are suitable for the
application and guarantee the correct start and stop
of the system (during programming the product will
suggest the values of the first attempt).
ATTENTION: the maximum values that can be set in
parameter AP01 are limited in order to never exceed
the maximum allowable pressure of the product.

8.4. First starting

OFF
ATTENTION: never run the pump dry. Start the pump
after filling it completely with liquidand and regulated
the membrane pressure (par. 8.6).
When the pump is located above the water level
(suction lift operation par. 14 fig. 2) or with a positive
suction head which is too low (less than 1 m) to open
the non-return valve, fill the pump through the priming
hole (par. 14 fig. 4).
ATTENTION: the pump is equipped with a integrated
non-return valve into the pump suction, in order to
fill the suction pipe it is necessary to prepare a filling
system on the suction pipe (par.14 fig.4).
When the liquid level on the suction side is above
the pump (inflow under positive suction head par. 14
fig. 1), fill the pump by opening the suction gate valve
slowly and completely, keeping the delivery gate valve
open to release the air.
Before starting, check that the shaft turns by hand. For
this purpose use the screwdriver notch on the shaft
end on the ventilation side.
8.5. Self-priming
(Capability to clear the air in the suction pipe when
starting with the pump located above the water
level).
Conditions for self-priming:
• suction pipe with connections perfectly airtight and
properly immersed in the water to be lifted;
• allow 0,6 m minimum of straight vertical pipe above
the discharge port, before a non-return valve or a bend
par. 14 fig. 4.
• pump casing completely filled with clean cold
water berfore starting.
The pump is not self-priming with liquids containing
oil, alcohol or foaming substances.
The integrated check valve prevents reverse siphoning
through the pump when the pump is stopped and
retains water in the pump for the next start.
ATTENTION: avoid a prolonged operation
with unprimed
delivery from the completely opened outlet.
If the pump does not prime in 5 minutes:
stop the motor, remove the priming plug
and add more water.
