ECM High-Efficiency Circulator

SUPERSEDES: NEW EFFECTIVE: February 27, 2018

Plant ID No. 001-5005

DESCRIPTION:

The 00e® series 006e3 is a 3-setting wet rotor circulator with an ECM, permanent magnet motor.
A simple dial adjusts operating speed to Low, Medium or High settings. Its high-efficiency motor
reduces power consumption by up to 85% compared to equivalent AC permanent split capacitor
circulators.

APPLICATION:

• Maximum operating pressure: 150 psi (10 bar)

• Maximum water temperature: 203°F (95ºC)

• Electrical specifications:

Voltage: 110-120V, 50/60 Hz, single phase

Maximum operating power: 44W

Maximum amp rating: 0.54

• Equipped with an engineered composite casing with 1" union connections

• Use on open loop potable hot water circulation systems or closed loop hydronic heating systems

• Not suitable for chilled water systems

• Taco circulator pumps are for indoor use only – employer uniquement a l’interieur

• Acceptable for use with water or maximum of 50% water/glycol solution

FEATURES:

• Operating modes

- Low, Medium or High

- Pre-marked 003/006 performance point references

- Min/Max infinitely variable fixed speeds

• Multi-color LED display showing operating mode and error code diagnostics

• Union connection, composite casing

• Optional 1/2" & 3/4" union fitting sets available - sweat, npt or press connections (sold separately)

• Dual electrical knockouts and 6” stranded wire leads for easy wiring (006e3LC model includes 6' power cord)

• Double insulated - no ground-wire required

• Whisper quiet operation

•

SureStart® - automatic unblocking and air purging mode

INSTALLATION:

WARNING: Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes when installing this product.
AVERTISSEMENT: Respectez tous les codes de plomberie et d'électricité locaux lors de l'installation de ce produit.

CAUTION: To ensure all plumbing system components are protected from the damaging effects of water hammer, be sure

an approved water hammer arrestor is installed in the system per locally recognized National plumbing codes.

ATTENTION: Pour vous assurer que tous les composants du système de plomberie sont protégés contre les effets dommageables du
coup de bélier, assurez-vous qu'un parafoudre approuvé est installé dans le système conformément aux codes de plomberie nationaux
reconnus localement.

WARNING: Do not use in swimming pool or spa areas. Pump has not been investigated for these applications.
AVERTISSEMENT: Ne pas utiliser dans une piscine ou un spa. La pompe n'a pas été étudiée pour ces applications.

Figure 1:

CAUTION: The addition of petroleum based fluids or certain chemical additives to systems using TACO equipment voids the warranty.
Consult factory for fluid compatibility.

ATTENTION: L'ajout de liquides à base de pétrole ou de certains additifs chimiques à des systèmes utilisant un équipement TACO annule
la garantie. Consultez le fabricant pour connaître la compatibilité de liquides.

CAUTION: Installations at elevations over 5000 feet must have higher fill pressure of 20 psi minimum to prevent pump cavitation and flash­ing. Premature failure may result. Adjust expansion tank pressure to equal fill pressure. A larger size expansion tank may be required.

ATTENTION: Des installations à des altitudes de plus de 1600 mètres doivent présenter une pression de remplissage plus élevée de 20
psi au minimum afin d'éviter toute cavitation ou flashing de la pompe. Une défaillance prématurée peut en résulter. Réglez la pression du
réservoir d'expansion de façon qu'elle soit égale à la pression de remplissage. Un réservoir d'expansion d'une taille supérieure peut être
nécessaire.

Typical Installation for Hot Water Recirculation Systems

Recommended Purging Steps:

1. Open fixture at highest point in system

2. Open all isolation valves

3. Once system is filled, close the fixture at
the highest point in the system

4. Close isolation valve on pump discharge

5. Open drain valve on pump discharge until
all remaining air has been purged

6. Close drain valve

7. Operate pump until all remaining air is
purged from bearing chamber

KEY:

VI, V2, V3 = SHUT-OFF ISOLATION VALVE
P = TACO CIRCULATOR
FF = FAST FILL BOILER FEED VALVE
PV4 = PURGE VALVE
FC = FLOW CHECK VALVE

RECOMMENDED PURGING STEPS:

1. CLOSE V1, PV4, V2

2. OPEN V3

3. OPEN FF VALVE

4. OPEN V2, PV4, TO PURGE LAST ZONE
FIRST (ZONE 3)

5. CLOSE FF VALVE

6. CLOSE V2, PV4

7. REPEAT STEPS 1 TO 6 FOR EACH
ADDITIONAL ZONE, PURGE ZONE 1 LAST

8. OPEN V1 WHEN ALL ZONES ARE
PURGED

9. ADJUST SYSTEM TO DESIRED OPERATING
FILL PRESSURE IF REQUIRED
