Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality, Davey constant
pressure water pressure system. All components have been designed and
manufactured to give trouble free, reliable operation.
Your new pressure system incorporates the Speedman Compact,
electronic ow controller – a unit that enables the use of a highly efcient
pump design and offers the following benets:–
1. Enables the pump to deliver a constant pressure of water particularly
across a wide range of ow rates – reducing the inconvenience of
pressure variation in showers etc.
2. Provides automatic “cut-out” protection should the pump run out of
water, should the pump fail to start due to low voltage or a blockage in
the pump.
3. Provides warning indications for system faults.
4. Has adjustable pressure setting to allow for various operating
conditions.
5. Automatic retry functions in the event of a variety of system faults.
6. Motor overload protection included.
Before installing your new pump system, please read all instructions carefully as failures caused by incorrect installation or operation are not covered
by the guarantee. Your Davey pressure system is designed to handle clean
water. The system should not be used for any other purpose without specic
referral to Davey. The use of the system to pump ammable, corrosive and
other materials of a hazardous nature is specically excluded.
NOTE: Prior to installation remove the inlet and outlet pipe transport
plugs from the suction and/or discharge.

Preparing Your System
On removing your Speedman Compact system from the carton check
that the standard orientation of the pump inlet and controller is suitable. If
required, the inlet can be re-orientated 180 degrees.
To rotate the pump inlet to the alternate position, prior to installation, undo
the two motor mounting bolts (8), the four controller mounting screws
(9) and the two support bracket capscrews (10). The pump can then be
rotated relative to the controller by loosening the rotary coupling slightly
(7). Re-position the support bracket to the holes on the opposite end of the
mounting base and re-afx with the support bracket capscrews. Re-position
the pump and controller on the base, tightening all items (7, 8, 9 and 10)
carefully.
Only connect the discharge pipework to the discharge port. The
priming port is not a discharge port.
3
Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a rm base and as close to the water source as
possible with correct power supply. Make sure your pressure system is
always connected to an adequate, reliable source of clean water.
Housing your Davey Pressure System
To protect your pressure system from the weather,
make sure the pump house is both water proof,
frost free and has adequate ventilation. The pump
should be horizontally mounted on a rm base
allowing for drainage, to avoid damage to ooring
etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe
joints or pump seals. Do not mount the pump
vertically.
WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, nd electrical
devices attractive for various reasons. If your pump enclosure is
susceptible to insect infestation you should implement a suitable
pest control plan.
Power Connection
Connect lead to power supply (220-240V 1phase 50Hz) as designated
on controller label. Note that while the pump motor is rated three phase,
the single phase supply is inverted to suit in the controller. Do not use
long extension leads as they cause substantial voltage drop, poor pump
performance and may cause motor overload.
The Davey Speedman Compact tted to this pump has a status indicator
mounted on its front panel. This will be illuminated whenever the Speedman
Compact senses that there is electrical power available. It will only work
when unit is connected to the correct electrical supply.
The electrical connections and checks must be made by a
qualied electrician and comply with applicable local standards.
Electrical Power Surge Protection
An electrical power surge or spike can travel on the supply lines and cause
serious damage to your electrical equipment. The Speedman Compact
controller tted to this system has a metal oxide varistor (MOV) tted to
help protect it’s circuit. This MOV is a “sacricial” device, meaning that it
effectively is gradually damaged every time it takes a surge. The MOV is
not a lightning arrestor and may not protect the control unit if lightning or a
very powerful surge hits the pump unit.
If the installation is subject to electrical power surges or lightning we
strongly recommend the use of suitable additional surge protection devices
on ALL electrical equipment.

In accordance with AS 3350.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that this
appliance is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons unless
they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure
that they can use the appliance safely.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
NOTE: For protection, the Davey Speedman Compact controller is
equipped with an automatic reset current sensing overload, constant
tripping of this overload indicates a problem e.g. low voltage at pump,
excessive temperature (above 50°C) in pump enclosure.
Pipe Connections
For best performance use P.V.C. or polythene pipes at least the same
diameter as the pump’s inlet and delivery outlet openings. Larger diameter
pipe may be used to minimise resistance to ow when pumping longer
distances.
Do not use pipe thread sealing compounds on any part of this
pump. ONLY use Teon sealing tape.
Use unions at pipe connections to enable easy
removal and servicing. Use sufcient tape to
ensure airtight seal and hand
tighten only. To prevent strain on pump threads
always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes. If
there is a likelihood the water supply
may contain solid particles such as pieces of plant
or vegetable matter, a lter should be installed
before the pump to avoid blocking of water ways.
Lay suction pipe at a constant gradient to avoid
air pockets which may reduce pump efciency.
NOTE: Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump
performance and are difcult to detect. Ensure all connections
are completely sealed using thread tape only.
Extra Draw-off Capacity
The Speedman Compact has an in-built accumulator which will accommodate small
leaks. In some applications it may be appropriate to install additional accumulator
(Supercell pressure tank) capacity. These applications includes:
• Long suction lines (see Suction Lines / Lift)
• Low ow appliances connected to the pump, such as evaporative air
conditioners, slow lling toilet cisterns.
Any additional accumulators can be installed downstream of the controller (ie.
between the controller and the rst outlet).
Where extra draw-off capacity is utilised
the additional pressure tank should have
a pre-charge 15kPa below the system
pressure setting.
5
DO NOT USE THREAD
SEALING COMPOUNDS,
HEMP OR PIPE DOPE!
Installations with ooded suction require a
gate or isolating valve so water supply can be
turned off for pump removal and servicing.
Abrasive Materials
The pumping of abrasive materials will cause damage to the pressure
system which will then not be covered by the guarantee.
For Automatic Pressure Pumps
Installed with a Mains Pressure
Hot Water System
To protect your system from damage caused
by back pressure from hot water systems. You
should always have installed on the hot water
inlet an approved non-return valve.
NOTE: Always ensure hot water systems are installed in
compliance with manufacturers recommendations and in
accordance with all local regulations.
Connection of Mains Scheme or Town Water
Supply to either Suction or Discharge of Pumps &
Pressure Systems
Most Water Supply
Authorities have strict
regulations regarding direct
connection of pumps to
mains water supplies. In
most cases an isolating
tank is required between
mains supply and pump.
Davey also recommend this
method. Directly applied
mains pressure can exceed pump operating pressure and damage pump.
Davey Water Products Pty Ltd can not accept responsibility for loss or
damage resulting from incorrect or unauthorised installations.

Maintenance
WARNING : Under no circumstances should the Speedman Compact
controller be disassembled by other than qualied tradespersons. Failure
to observe this warning may expose persons to the possibility of personal
injury and may also result in damage to other property. Do not dismantle
spring under pressure.
The only regular attention your new pressure system may require will be
if you have used an additional pressure tank. You will need to check the
pressure tank’s air charge every 6 months. This can be checked at the air
valve with a tyre gauge. Do not charge tank to a higher pressure than that
shown in the table on page 6.
To check air pressure in tank:
1. Switch off pump.
2. Open outlet nearest to pump to release water pressure.
3. Charge tank to required pressure using air pump and
check with tyre gauge.
4. Switch on.
5. Close outlet.
WARNING: Automatic resets may allow the pump to restart without warning.
Always disconnect the pump motor from the electrical supply before
maintenance or repairs.
WARNING: When servicing or attending pump and/or controllers, always
ensure power is switched off and lead unplugged. Electrical connections
should be serviced only by qualied persons.
14
NOTE: For protection, the Davey® pump controller monitors input
current and will shut down the pump motor in the event of an over
load.
WARNING: When servicing or attending pump, always ensure
power is switched off and lead unplugged. Electrical connections
should be serviced only by qualied persons. If the electrical
supply lead of this pressure system is damaged, it must be
replaced.
Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling
pump to avoid possible injury from pressurised water. Unplug
pump, relieve pressure by opening a tap on the discharge side
of the pump and allow any hot water in the pump to cool before
attempting to dismantle.
