3. Installation Sequence 3.7 Tank Level Sensor The ScubaTANK water level is monitored via a hydrostatic analogue (4-20ma) level transducer. This is connected to the pump controller (s) (via the control box) which use the input signal for low level pump protection, inlet valve control and high level alarm.
All commissioning works must be carried out by Dutypoint or an authorised company acting on behalf of Dutypoint. Please note that engineer visits by Dutypoint are priced at one visit to commission one pump set. If there are multiple units on a site, special terms can be negotiated. To arrange a commissioning visit, please call the Technical Service Help line 01452 300590.
Page 22
All ScubaTANK models are fitted with a variable speed inverter drive per pump. These are set up and pre-commissioned prior to delivery. For full details of these unites, refer to Section 14. VASCO V209 and V214 (p. 50) Pump Controllers If in doubt please call Dutypoint Systems Technical Support on 01452 300590 for advice.

6. Pressure Vessel 6. Pressure Vessel The pressure vessel supplied as part of your Dutypoint product is used to absorb and conserve the potential energy of pressurised liquid. Stored energy from liquid under pressure is transferred to the water system when required.
Page 28
6. Pressure Vessel e.g: If the maximum pressure generated by the pump in a system is 6 bar, this will require a pre-charge pressure of 6 × 90% = 5.4 bar. To verify the pre-charge pressure: First check that the expansion or pressure tank is totally drained of water and isolated. Refer to Figure 6.16: Pre-Charging a Pressure Vessel (p.
Page 29
6. Pressure Vessel Set the pre-charge pressure, using the procedure earlier in this section. Ensure that the pressure does not exceed the value specified in the procedure. The appliance must be supplied with efficient and sufficient safety and control facilities, in particular the safety valve must be connected to the appliance and be free from interference and must be gauged to the quantity of fluid to be discharged.
7. System User Maintenance 7. System User Maintenance Dutypoint pump sets have been designed to keep major maintenance requirements to a minimum. Planned maintenance of the pumps and other principal components should therefore be undertaken at the intervals recommended in the manuals referenced below.
8. Pump Maintenance 8. Pump Maintenance The following information is an extract from the pump manufacturer’s documentation. 8.1 Routine maintenance The pump requires no detailed maintenance except to: • Periodically verify that the suction grate is clear • Periodically with the power off, check the condition of the cables and electrical power and earth connections. 8.2 Pump replacement DANGER! Risk of electric shock...
Page 34
8. Pump Maintenance 8.4 Checking the direction of rotation : This operation will be performed dry and must not last more than a few seconds. NOTE If the direction of rotation is reversed due to incorrect connection or controller programming, the pump performance will be significantly lower than the nominal values.
9. Pressure Set Point Adjustment 9. Pressure Set Point Adjustment : This procedure should only be undertaken by an experienced and qualified installer or engineer. Failure to NOTE follow the procedure correctly may cause damage to the product and invalidate any product warranty. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the required value is suitable for the product.
