6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The Wilo HiControl 1 operates automatically once properly installed and powered.
6.1 Start-up Inizjali
- 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 Operazzjoni Normali
- When a tap is opened and water is drawn, the HiControl 1 detects the flow and starts the pump.
- When the tap is closed and the flow stops, the HiControl 1 detects the cessation of flow and stops the pump after a short delay.
- The integrated dry-running protection will stop the pump if no water is detected, preventing damage.
