- Ensure there are no air pockets in the system after installation. Bleed the system thoroughly.
5.2 Collegamento elettrico
- Connect the pump's power cable to the designated terminals on the HiControl 1. Refer to the wiring diagram inside the terminal box cover.
- Connect the main power supply (230V AC/DC) to the input terminals of the HiControl 1.
- Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti siano sicuri e adeguatamente isolati.
- Verify that the power supply is protected by a suitable circuit breaker and residual current device (RCD).
6. Istruzioni per l'uso
The Wilo HiControl 1 operates automatically once properly installed and powered.
6.1 Avvio iniziale
- Ensure the pump and the entire hydraulic system are filled with water and free of air.
- Switch on the main power supply to the HiControl 1.
- The pump will start automatically and run for a few seconds to pressurize the system.
- Open a tap to draw water. The pump should start.
- Close the tap. The pump should continue to run for a short period (run-on time) and then stop.
6.2 Funzionamento normale
- When a tap is opened and water is drawn, the HiControl 1 detects the flow and starts the pump.
