4. Starting up the product
4.1 Before startup
Do not start the pump until the system has been filled with liquid
and vented. Make sure that the required minimum inlet pressure
is available at the pump inlet. See section 10. Technical data.
When using the pump for the first time, the system must be
vented. See section 4.3 Venting the pump. The pump is
self-venting through the system.
4.2 Starting up the pump
4.3 Venting the pump
Fig. 7 Venting the pump
Small air pockets trapped inside the pump may cause noise when
starting up the pump. However, because the pump is self-venting
through the system, the noise ceases over a period of time.
To speed up the venting process, do as follows:
1. Set the pump to speed III using the button on the operating
panel.
2. Let the pump run for minimum 30 minutes. How fast the pump
is vented depends on the system size and design.
When you have vented the pump, that is when the noise has
ceased, set the pump according to the recommendations. See
section 6. Control functions.

5. Product introduction
5.1 Product description
ALPHA1 L can be used as stand-alone or integrated circulator
pump in existing systems as replacement or in new systems with
either variable or constant flow rate.
5.1.1 Model type
These installation and operating instructions cover ALPHA1 L.
The model type is stated on the packaging and nameplate.
5.2 Applications
The pump is designed for circulating liquids in all kinds of heating
applications. The pumps are suitable for the following systems:
Systems with constant or variable flows where it is desirable to
optimise the pump duty point.
Installation in existing systems where the differential pressure
of the pump is too high during periods of reduced flow
demand.
Installation in new systems for automatic adjustment of the
performance to flow demands without the use of bypass
valves or similar expensive components.
The speed can be controlled by a low-voltage PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) signal.
High-efficiency ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) pumps,
such as ALPHA1 L, must not be speed-controlled by an external
speed controller varying or pulsing the supply voltage.
5.3 Pumped liquids
In heating systems, the water must meet the requirements of
accepted standards on water quality in heating systems, for
example the German guideline VDI 2035.
The pump is suitable for clean, thin, non-aggressive and
non-explosive liquids, not containing solid particles, fibres or
mineral oil.
Maximum water/propylene glycol mixture is 50 %
Maximum 10 mm
2
/s viscosity
Note: The water/propylene glycol mixture reduces the
performance due to higher viscosity.
See section 10. Technical data for further information.
In domestic hot-water systems, we recommend that
you keep the liquid temperature below 65 °C to
eliminate the risk of lime precipitation.
CAUTION
Flammable material
Minor or moderate personal injury
- Do not use the pump for flammable liquids, such
as diesel oil and petrol.
CAUTION
Corrosive substance
Minor or moderate personal injury
- Do not use the pump for aggressive liquids, such
as acids and seawater.

6.2.3 Constant curve or constant speed, I, II or III
At constant-curve or constant-speed operation, the pump runs at
a constant curve. The pump performance follows the selected
performance curve, I, II or III. See fig. 14 where II has been
selected.
Fig. 14 Constant-curve/-speed curve
The selection of the constant-curve or constant-speed setting
depends on the characteristics of the heating system in question.

Recommended and alternative pump settings:
6.2.5 Pump setting for domestic hot-water systems
Recommended and alternative pump settings:
6.2.6 Changing from recommended to alternative pump
setting
Heating systems are relatively slow systems that cannot be set to
the optimum operation within minutes or hours.
If the recommended pump setting does not give the desired
distribution of heat in the rooms of the house, change the pump
setting to the shown alternative.
6.3 Control signal
The pump can be controlled via a digital low-voltage pulse-width
modulation (PWM) signal.
The square-wave PWM signal is designed for a 100 to 4,000 Hz
frequency range. The PWM signal is used to select the speed
(speed command) and as feedback signal. The PWM frequency
on the feedback signal is fixed at 75 Hz in the pump.
For instructions on how to set the connection, see section
7.1 Setting the PWM input signal.
Duty cycle
d % = 100 x t/T
Example
Fig. 15 PWM signal
6.3.1 Interface
The pump's interface consists of an electronic part connecting the
external control signal to the pump. The interface translates the
external signal into a signal type that the microprocessor can
understand.
In addition, the interface ensures that the user cannot get into
contact with dangerous voltage if touching the signal wires when
power is connected to the pump.
Note: "Signal ref." is a signal reference with no connection to
protective earth.

6.3.2 PWM input signal profile A (heating)
The pump runs on constant-speed curves depending on the PWM
input signal. The speed decreases when the PWM value
increases. If PWM equals 0, the pump runs at maximum speed.
Fig. 17 PWM input signal profile A (heating)
6.3.3 PWM feedback signal
The PWM feedback signal offers pump information like in bus
systems:
current power consumption (accuracy ± 2 % of PWM signal)
warning
•alarm.
Alarms
Alarm output signals are available because some PWM output
signals are dedicated to alarm information. If a supply voltage is
measured below the specified supply voltage range, the output
signal is set to 75 %. If the rotor is locked due to deposits in the
hydraulics, the output signal is set to 90 % because this alarm
has a higher priority. See fig. 18.

The pump runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve.
At speed III, the pump is set to run on the maximum curve under all operating conditions.
Quick venting of the pump can be obtained by setting the pump to speed III for a short
period.
Radiator heating mode
(proportional-pressure curve)
The duty point of the pump will move up or down on a proportional-pressure curve,
depending on the heat demand in the system.
The head (pressure) is reduced at falling heat demand and increased at rising heat demand.
Underfloor heating mode
(constant-pressure curve)
The duty point of the pump will move out or in on a constant-pressure curve, depending on
the heat demand in the system.
The head (pressure) is kept constant, irrespective of the heat demand.

7. Setting the product
To set the product use the button on the operating panel. Every
time you press the button, the pump setting is changed. The
LEDs will indicate the chosen control mode. See fig. 20. A cycle
is five button presses.
The pump automatically enables the PWM input-signal control
mode when the signal cable is plugged in and the PWM signal is
detected by the pump. For details on setting the PWM input
signal, see section 7.1 Setting the PWM input signal.
To select the fixed proportional-pressure curve, press and hold
the button for 3 seconds. To disable this control mode, press and
hold the button for 3 seconds.
To learn more about each control mode, see section 6.2 Control
modes.

7.1 Setting the PWM input signal
To enable the external control mode (PWM profile A), you need a
signal cable connected to an external system. The cable
connection has three conductors: the signal input, the signal
output and the signal reference.
The cable is not supplied with the pump but can be ordered as an
accessory.
Fig. 21 Mini superseal plug
Set the signal connection
1. Make sure that the pump is turned off.
2. Locate the PWM signal connection on the pump.
The three pins inside the signal connection are not energised.
Connect the signal cable with the mini superseal plug.
3. Switch on the power supply.
4. The pump automatically detects if a valid PWM signal is
available after which it enables the control mode on the pump.
See fig. 22.

9. Fault finding the product
If the pump has detected one or more alarms, the first LED
switches from green to red. When an alarm is active, the LEDs
indicate the alarm type as defined in fig. 23.
When there is no active alarm anymore, the operating panel
switches back to operating status and the first LED switches from
red to green.
Fig. 23 Fault finding table
If multiple alarms are active at the same time, the
LEDs only show the error with the highest priority.
The priority is defined by the sequence of the table.

9.1 Deblocking the shaft
If the pump is blocked it is necessary to deblock the shaft. The
pump deblocking device is accessible from the front of the pump
without having to demount the control box. The force of the
device is high enough to deblock pumps, which are seized by
lime, for example if the pump has been turned off during summer.
Course of action:
1. Switch off the power supply.
2. Close the valves.
3. Locate the deblocking screw in the centre of the control box.
Use a star screwdriver with a size 2 Phillips tip to push the
deblocking screw inwards.
4. When the screw can be turned counterclockwise, the shaft
has been deblocked. Repeat step 3, if necessary.
5. Switch on the power supply.
