Installation and Usage
1. Installation Instructions
Before installation please check:
1)if there are impurities in the piping system;
2)that the power frequency is 50Hz/60Hz with voltage of 230Vac and
voltage fluctuation value between -10% to +6%.
The pump should be installed in dry and ventilated area, away from
water splashing, to avoid short circuit.
For easy maintenance, we recommend to install a shutoff valve at
both sides of the inlet and outlet of the pump.
If the pump is installed in the open air, it should be added a protection
cover. For indoor installation, it should prevent from splashing, which
might cause electric shock. Do not install the pump in wet or damp
areas.
After installing the pump, carry out test running with power on. Then
set up the speed control switch to the S3 speed and check if AMICO
starts normally.
The network and relative outlets must be fitted with an efficient
earthing connection following the laws in force on the matter of electrical systems.
Do not change the power ground plug without authorization.
Please affix a warning sign on the pump operating site.
Regularly check the pump insulation resistance. The cold insulation
resistance should not be less than 50MΩ (MW).
If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced with an original X-Power
electric cord.

8.2 By-pass valve
By-pass valve functions: The bypass valve can ensure a distribution of
heat to the water heater, only when all of the heating system valves are
closed.
Components in the system:
By-pass valve located between inlet and outlet.
Flow-meter located in A.
When all valves are closed, it is necessary to ensure a minimum flow.
The setting of the circulator depends on the type of valve used; That is to
say that, the by-pass valve can be: manual or controlled-temperature.
8.3 Manual by-pass valve
Do as follows:
8.3.1 During adjusting the bay-pass valve, ensure that the pump is in
setting Speed I.
It is necessary to ensure a minimum flow to the pump.
8.3.2 Setup the pump (Chapter 7).
8.4 Auto bypass valve (controlled-temperature bypass valve)
Do as follow:
8.4.1 It is necessary to ensure a minimum flow to the pump.
(Speed I).
8.4.2 After the adjustment, setup the pump to CP1 Mode (Minimum Constant pressure) or CP2 Mode (Maximum constant pressure).
9. Start
9.1 Before starting the pump, make sure that the system is filled with liq-
uid and that all the air is drained out. The pressure should reach the minimum required level.
9.2 Switch the setting to Speed III, S3 (self purging function) for a few
minutes. Then switch to AUTO mode or change setting.

It is characterized by the half moon and it is located in 4.
If one of the constant speeds (I, II, III) is activated, it is impossible to go into
Night Mode.

Note:
◄ When one of the fixed speeds (S1-S2-S3) is running, night mode
does not work.
◄In the event of a power failure, the night mode must be restarted.
◄If the heating system does not provide enough heat, we recommend to
disable the night mode.
To ensure NIGHT MODE peak performance:
The pump must be installed in the water supply pipe, near the water
heater.
If the pump will be installed in the return water pipeline, “auto night
mode” will not work.
The boiler must have an automatic temperature control.
Press the “Half-Moon Button” to start the “Night Mode”. If the indica-
tor is on, the mode has been enabled.
Once that AUTO NIGHT MODE is enabled, Amico Circulator can be
switched between the AUTO MODE and the AUTO NIGHT MODE.
Switching between the AUTO MODE and AUTO NIGHT MODE by
Amico Circulator is depending on temperature in inlet pipeline (nonreturn water pipeline) of the system.
If the temperature drop in inlet pipeline system is over 10-15 ° C, the
pump will pass mechanically (within two hours) to the AUTO NIGHT
MODE .
This temperature drop must at least reach 0,1 ° C / min.
When the temperature of the system rises by about 10 °C, the pump will
switch to the AUTO MODE.

Basic principle
Boiler
Boiler
Auto Night MODE
The AUTO Mode is usually installed in heating systems with doublepipes-stems. The pump modulates the yield according to the actual demand of the pump. With AUTO you can memorize a set-point .The Setting change is based on a slow system. The AMICO pump needs 20 to
30 minutes to get into the new mode. If the setting does not produce the
desired results in this time frame, you must edit them.
7.2 Pump Control
The pump performance must be adjusted based on system demand.
Setup the pump on "Proportional Pressure" (PP), or on "Constant
Pressure" (CP).
Proportional pressure control: Under this control mode, the pressure
difference is controlled by the flow (at both ends of the pump). In the
H/Q diagram of proportional pressure curve, it is indicated by PP1
and PP2.
Constant pressure control: Under this control mode, the pressure dif-
ference keeps stable and it is irrelevant to flow (at both ends of the
pump). Constant pressure curve is indicated by CP1 and CP2. In Q /
H there is a horizontal performance curve.
