SITING OF THE PUMP/PIPEWORK
WARNINGS:
Ensure pipework from pump is independently supported to prevent
forces being transferred to outlet branch.
Do not under any circumstances use the cable fitted as a means to
carry or lower the pump into position on installation. Attach a rope
sling to the lifting eye.
Ensure the pump or controller cannot be subjected to freezing
conditions as damage may result.
Never run pump whilst sucking air/liquid as the motor will overheat. To
prevent this from happening always install pump in the vertical position
and ensure fully submerged.
Typical Submersible
Boostamatic Installation
Fig. 1
The pumps are supplied with a non-return valve which should be screwed into the pump
outlet port using the supplied adaptor (Fig. 2). The purpose of the valve is to limit back flow
and pressure on the pump and ensure discharge pipework is always primed with water.
The pumps are also supplied with an outlet adaptor which allows for a 25 mm diameter
bore hose. The pump should be installed vertically and should be submerged at all times
to avoid overheating of the motor. When siting the pump ensure its base is raised slightly
from the base of the sump reducing the possibility of blocking the pump inlet filter with
debris. The discharge pipework must be independently supported to prevent forces being
transferred to pump outlet branch.
If the pump is not to sit on the bottom of the sump or it is too deep, then it should be
suspended by a rope attached to the lifting eye located on top of the pump.
All connections are to be as shown in Fig. 2 (ensure all joints are watertight). The control
module is to be mounted remotely from the pump in a dry frost free enclosure or building
(Fig. 1). Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrows that are moulded onto the
pressure control module (vertically upwards).
The control module must be mounted in the vertical position and not mounted in any
other way (on its side for instance).
The pump must be wired to the control module as detailed in wiring diagram section.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
WARNINGS:
The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the
current national electrical regulations and installed by a competent
person.
In the interests of electrical safety a 30 mA residual current device
(R.C.D.) should be installed in the supply circuit. This may be part of a
consumer unit or a separate unit. For submersible pump installations
this device MUST be installed.
Before starting work on the electrical installation ensure the power
supply is isolated.
This appliance must be earthed.
The motor and wiring must not be exposed to water.
Do not allow the supply cord to contact hot surfaces, including the
motor shell, pump body or pipework. The cord should be safely
routed and secured by cable clips.
Earthing
This appliance must be earthed via the supply cord.
Electrical Connection
The pressure control module provided with the submersible range is supplied loose for
remote mounting. This must be permanently connected to the fixed wiring and is provided
with a set of terminals located in the control module which allow the connection of a flexible
supply cord. Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring according to
the wiring rules.
- 3 -
Cont ...
A suitable method of connection would be via a double pole switched, fused connection
unit complying with BS 1363-4.
The connection unit should be mounted in an easily accessible position and should be
labelled if confusion is possible to allow easy identification of the pump isolating switch.
WARNINGS:
A residual current device having rated current not exceeding 30 mA
MUST be installed in the supply circuit.
Isolate power supply before putting your hands in the liquid.
The pressure control module must be protected from the elements.
Wiring
The supply cord that connects the remotely mounted pressure control module to the
mains supply is not provided. This cord must be sourced and provided by the installer.
Cord selection should be chosen in accordance with the current involved/surrounding
conditions and the fuse size required to protect the factory fitted pump supply cord (see
fuse section).
The pump must also be connected to the pressure control module using the factory fitted
pump supply cord which is provided with ends bared.
For information on cable fitting and connection, consult the wiring diagram and cable
gland fitting instructions for the control module.
WARNING: The supply cord of this pump cannot be replaced. If the cord
is damaged, the pump should be scrapped.
Wiring Diagrams
The supply cord and internal wiring within the terminal box are routed and
secured to ensure compliance with the electrical standard EN 60335-1. It
is essential that any disturbance of this internal wiring is avoided and the
factory routing and securing of all internal wiring is always maintained.

Intermediate Connecting Cord Replacement
The intermediate connecting cord (pump supply cord) which connects the pump to the
control module cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the pump should be scrapped.
Cable Gland Fitting Instructions (Pressure Control Module)
See Pressure Control Module instruction book.
Intermediate Connecting Cord Extension (Boostamatic Diver 35 and 45)
The intermediate connecting cord which connects the pump to the control module is of a
type suitable for outdoor use. Cord specification is as follows:
H07RN-F3 G 1.0 mm² - 10 amp rating.
If an extension cord is necessary a cord of the proper type and rating must be used.
In general for 230 volt pumps on distances up to 40 metres (inclusive of original cord
length) the same specification cord as fitted to the pump can be used. For distances
above 40 metres a larger cord size may be required due to voltage drop and advice must
be obtained based upon installation details.
Any connectors or junction boxes must be specifically suited for outdoor use and
installed in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
Any cable routed underground must be protected to local standards.
NOISE
The equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level at a distance of 1 metre
from the pumpset does not exceed 70 dB(A) for all models.
COMMISSIONING
WARNINGS:
The motor casing can become very hot under normal operating
conditions, care should be taken to ensure it cannot be touched during
operation.
Do not run pump without guards and terminal box lids correctly fitted.
Care should be taken to protect the pump from freezing.
The pump chamber must be full of liquid at all times. Seal damage will
result if the pump runs dry.
Ensure electrical supply is compatible with the details that are stated on the pump rating
plate. (The wrong voltage or frequency can be dangerous and may damage the pump.)
Priming
The pump should be fully submerged before starting, take care when submerging the
pump to ensure all air is purged from the casing. This is done by slowly submerging the
pump and gently agitating whilst doing so.

Starting The Pump
Turn on the electrical supply and the green L.E.D. ‘power on’ lights up. The yellow
L.E.D. lights up when the pump is running (Fig. 4).
The pump will run until the system is completely charged and the maximum pressure
reached. All taps or outlets on the system need to be operated starting with the highest
outlet. This is to release air that may be trapped in the system. If the failure (red) L.E.D.
lights up, this indicates that the pump is out of liquid or priming is incomplete. In the
event of this happening, check liquid supply to pump. If all is in order keep the RESTART
button depressed with a tap open and wait until the red failure light goes out. When the
button is released and the tap closed, the pressure control module will stop the pump at
its maximum pressure. Do not run against a closed valve for periods longer than 5
minutes.

Functioning
Once the commissioning operation is completed, the module will perform all pump
control operations automatically. Note: After closing any outlet there will be a small delay
time before the pump stops operating, which is normal. When particular operational
breakdowns occur, such as liquid failure, the module recognises the breakdown and the
red L.E.D. FAILURE light comes on. The pump stops operating to prevent damage caused
by its working in the absence of liquid. After rectification of the failure, the system is
restarted by depressing the restart button.
Carefully check pump and pipework for leaks whilst pump running and stationary before
leaving the installation unattended.
