5. Početno postavljanje i konfiguracija

5.1 Uključivanje

Once the pump is installed and plumbed, restore the main water supply and check for leaks. Then, plug in the pump's line cord to power it on.

5.2 Razumijevanje LED indikatora

The control panel features three LED indicators:

• SENSOR LED: Indicates the status of the temperature sensor.
• LED NAČINA rada: Indicates the current operating mode (Smart Mode, Pulse Mode, or Vacation Mode).
• LED za napajanje: Indicates that the pump is receiving electrical power.

5.3 načina rada

The SmartPlus pump offers different operating modes to suit your needs. The mode can typically be selected via a button on the control panel (refer to specific product labeling if available).

• Pametan način rada: The default and most energy-efficient mode. The pump learns your hot water usage patterns.
• Pulsni način rada: Provides continuous hot water by cycling the pump at regular intervals.
• Način odmora: An energy-saving mode for extended periods of inactivity.

6. Operacija

6.1 Smart Mode (Adaptive Recirculation)

In Smart Mode, the pump monitors and records your home's hot water usage pattern for the first seven days of operation. During the subsequent seven days, the SmartPlus repeats the preceding week's usage pattern to cycle the pump, ensuring instant hot water at all fixtures only when needed. This learning and repeating process is continuous, adapting every seven days to optimize efficiency and comfort.

6.2 Pulse Mode (Continuous Recirculation)

If selected, Pulse Mode sets the SmartPlus to run for 150 seconds every 10 minutes. This mode maintains hot water at all fixtures on a consistent schedule, regardless of learned usage patterns. This can be useful in situations where immediate hot water is always desired, or during periods of unpredictable demand.

6.3 Način rada za odmor

The Vacation Function is designed to save energy during extended periods of absence. After 36 hours of inactivity (no hot water usage detected), the pump will automatically turn off. While in Vacation Mode, the pump will periodically cycle (Exercise Function) to prevent seizing and maintain system readiness. The pump will resume normal operation once hot water usage is detected again.

7. Održavanje

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your SmartPlus pump.

• Godišnji pregled: Annually inspect the pump and plumbing connections for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or wear.
• Čišćenje: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free from dust and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Provjera O-prstena: casing O-Ring (part number 007-003RP) should be inspected periodically and replaced if signs of wear or damage are present to prevent leaks.
• Sklop uloška: The cartridge assembly (part number 005-020RP) is a critical component. If the pump experiences reduced performance or unusual noises, consult a qualified technician for inspection or replacement.
• Zimovanje: If the pump is installed in an unheated area subject to freezing temperatures, it must be drained and disconnected for winterization to prevent damage.
