- Carcaça do motor: Orange casing protecting the electric motor.
- Inlet/Outlet Fittings: Brass threaded connections for plumbing.
- Chave de fluxo: Orange component with an arrow, detecting water flow to activate the pump.
- Cabo de alimentação: Electrical connection with an integrated on/off switch.
4. Configuração e instalação
A instalação correta é crucial para o desempenho e a vida útil da bomba.
- Localização:
- Install the pump in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight, rain, and freezing temperatures.
- Certifique-se de que a bomba esteja colocada em uma superfície estável e nivelada para minimizar a vibração.
- Allow adequate space around the pump for ventilation and maintenance access.
- Conexões de encanamento:
- 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.
- Conexão elétrica:
- 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.
- Preparando a 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. Instruções de operação
The Truper 13499 PRES-1/3T pump operates automatically based on water flow.
- Inicialização inicial:
- After installation and priming, ensure the inline switch on the power cord is in the "OFF" position.
- Conecte a bomba a uma tomada elétrica adequada.
- Switch the inline power switch to the "ON" position. The pump will remain off until water flow is detected.
- Operação 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 trabalho:
- 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. Manutenção
A manutenção regular garante o desempenho ideal e prolonga a vida útil da sua bomba.
- Limpeza: Periodically clean the exterior of the pump to prevent dust and debris buildup. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Conexões: Regularly check all plumbing and electrical connections for leaks or loose fittings. Tighten as necessary.
- Winterização: If the pump is installed in an area subject to freezing temperatures, it must be drained and disconnected during winter months to prevent damage.
- Inspeção: Inspecione o cabo de alimentação em busca de sinais de danos ou desgaste. Substitua se necessário.
Warning: Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before performing any maintenance.
