INTRODUCTION

This booklet describes the operating procedures for ECOJET C.E. – ECOINOX C.E. - JET C.E.
series pressure water system with electronic control. These pumps are usually used for marine
applications to pump fresh water and liquids without any suspended parts. Most common uses are
for sanitary systems, water supply, for water pressure system, deck and chain washing, fire fighting
Standard construction is with bronze body but cast iron body is available on request (ECOJET G-
JET G model ).
In particular the models ECOJET B (bronze), ECOINOX (inox), ECOJET G and JET G (cast iron)
have to work with fresh water, and the models ECOJET BB (bronze-bronze), JET B (bronze) are
fitted either for fresh or sea water. The use of these machines must be made by qualified and
experienced personnel, with complete knowledge of local legislation.

These instruction should be carefully read before installation of any ECOJET series
pump. The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of accident or damage due to
negligence or lack of observance of instructions given in this booklet, or application in
conditions not conforming to detail on the motor plate. All responsibility is also declined
for damage caused by improper use of the pump.

HANDLING

The product must be lifted and handled with care. When lifting and moving pump, ensure it is firmly
held and supported.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTIONS

Unpack the pump and check its integrity. Furthermore check that the details on the plate
corresponds with the dates required and that the shaft turns freely. If there is any irregularity,
please contact the supplier immediately, signalling the nature of the defects.

Caution: If there is any doubt about safety of the pump, do not use it.

WORKING LIMITS

The electronic board is completely dust-proof.

Before installation, ensure that main supply is grounded in accordance with local legislation and
corresponds to motor plate details. Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure safety by
switching off main voltage.

The machine is electrically supplied: avoid the contact between the liquid pumped and electrical
part of the machine.
Note (only for D.C. version): the motor RPM depends on the voltage; higher voltage than 24V
could increase the RPM and so the maximum working pressure and consequently also the usury
of the components in particular that one of the brushes.

The motor may become hot when running: pay attention.

The pump must be only repaired by competent or qualified personnel, using manufacturer’s
spares. If this procedure is not followed, the manufacturer declines any responsibility and the
guarantee insurance is invalid.

The self-priming capability depends on pipe diameter, lengths of horizontal suction pipe and
water level.

The maximum delivery depends on pipe diameter, suction lift, delivery head, head losses in the
suction / delivery pipelines.

INSTALLATION

Correct installation can be complex and should only be undertaken by qualified and
experienced personnel.

CAUTION: during installation all regulations for safety and good practice must be
followed.

Install the pump in a dry and well ventilated location with room temperature not more than +40
°C (+104 °F).
The machine must be placed on a solid and clean surface in horizontal position, feet down. To
reduce vibrations block the machine with the bolts to the surface and install some vibration
dumpers.

Pipes: Install the pipes well anchored on the pump to avoid transmitting vibrations compound
to the pump ports. Ensure the pipes are fully sealed with jointing compound to the pump ports,
otherwise it can damage the pump. On the internal diameter of pipes, which must never be less
than the diameter of the pump connections, depends the delivery of the pump. Pumps are
supplied with thread ports, so three pipe unions are recommended at suction and delivery ports.
Working with leakage from the pipes or from the shaft, damage the water system (or the pump)
and can damage the close equipment.
With rigid pipe, a damper joint (flexible connection) should be installed close to the pump to
reduce stresses on the pump head. Check all pump are clear and free of obstruction or
retraction. Check that suction and delivery pipes are correctly connected to pump ports.

Suction pipes: When suction pipe length is in excess of 10 mt. or where there are many
curves, use pipe with a bigger diameter than the suction point. Suction pipe must be completely
air tight with and an upward inclination to avoid sir-sack.

Application with Expansion Tank

For minimal delivery demands, the application of a small expansion tank downstream from the
Control-Press allows for reducing the pump start-ups .
It is recommended to contact our technical department before install it.
PRE-CALIBRATION

The MASCONTROL comes in three versions which only vary in their restart pressure
calibrations:

1,2 bar (0,12 MPa)

1,5 bar (0,15 MPa)
2,2 bar (0,22 MPa)

The restart pressure value is factory-calibrated and cannot

be modified.
ATTENTION
Before installing check that the technical features of the device, pump and system are
all compatible.
In particular, the pressure generated by the pump must normally be at least 1 bar (0.1
MPa) higher than the restart pressure of the device otherwise the pump will fail to
work.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

These machines are delivered ready to be connected. The pump should be connected by
qualified personnel only, in accordance with local directive or standard.
- Make sure that there is no voltage on the power supply line before connecting the motor
- Check the reference characteristics (voltage, frequency and input current) shown on the pump
rating label
- Check the direction of rotation.
- Install a protection device in accordance with the on board real voltage (at an higher voltage,
the pump will run at a higher speed with a higher current).

To change the rotation in D.C. motors change the polarity after disconnecting the power supply.
After the operation make sure the body pump is still full of water.

PRIMING AND START UP
START- UP

1. With the electrical power disconnected, check the shaft turns freely (hexagonal wrench or
a screwdriver should be into the slot of the shaft).

2. Unscrew the priming plug on the body pump’s top side.

3. Push the no return valve to let the air in the body pump go away.

4. Fill body-pump completely whit water.

5. Tighten priming plug.

6. Open the valve on the suction line.

7. Close the valve on the outlet line.

8. Turn the pump on and open slowly the valve on the outlet line.

9. Check the running direction

10. After closing the outlet valve, the pump will build up to its maximum pressure and then
turn off after approximately 10/15 seconds. Pressure at shut off will vary slightly
depending on the main voltage (only in D.C. current).

ATTENTION ! ! !
Make sure the pump is working in its operation field
(check the label located on the pump motor and compare to the voltage supply).
CONTROL PANEL
A panel is located on the front of the device that displays the operating phases of
the system via the use of pilot lights. Green light: Power on (voltage), yellow light:
Pump on, Red light: Failure.

START UP
On connecting to the electrical mains the green pilot light turns on and the yellow
one signals the start up of the pump.
The pump keeps operating for several seconds in order to allow the system to gain
pressure. Should this time be insufficient, the red pilot light will turn on. In this case
keep the red Restart button pressed in and wait with a tap opened for the red light
to turn off.

Once the tap has been closed, the device stops the pump and moves into standby with the
green light turned on, ready to carry out all the following command and control operations in full
automatic.

Operation - System Operation

On opening a tap, the device starts the pump

which remains in operation for the same time the
service remains open.

Tap opened
Presence of flow
Presence of pressure
Pump running

Operation - System Under Pressure

On closing the tap, the device restores the maximum pressure to

the system, stops the pump, and returns to the standby position.

Tap closed
Absence of flow
Presence of pressure
Pump stopped
Operation - System Stopped

In the event of a water shortage during aspiration, the device will

recognise the fault, signal the same with the red pilot light Failure,
and stop the pump to protect it from dry running.
After eliminating the causes of the stopping it is sufficient to press
the red Restart button to restore normal operation.
In case of a temporary electricity cut-off the device will automatically
start up again when the power returns.

MAINTENANCE
The pump should be serviced by qualified personnel only, after having been disconnected from
the power mains. No routine maintenance is required so long as the following precautions are
taken:
-If there is a risk of freezing, it is necessary to empty the pump casing; then fill the pump before
it gets working again and be sure the ambient temperature is over the water freezing point.
-Make sure the pump never works dry. (Even if the Control-Press stop the pump in case of dry
running)
-On D.C. motors the brushes must be periodically checked for consumption and spring
pressure.
-If the pump does not work for a long time its better to empty the pump casing, and clean it.
-If a filter and a foot valve are installed check periodically their efficiency.

Checking the Operation

In the case of faults it is recommended to apply a ball valve to the

output of the CONTROLPRESS.

This allows for testing the operation of the pump and the device and
excluding the system by means of the valve for the purpose of
troubleshooting and removing the cause of the malfunctioning.

struttura della stessa consentono di attenuare sensibilmente gli effetti del colpo d'ariete.

Il box contenente la parte elettrica è stampato in polistirolo antiurto autoestinguente (PSau).

L'uso dei materiali primari e della migliore componentistica consente di ottenere elevata stabilità
dimensionale, resistenza all'usura ed allo scoppio e durata nel tempo a differenza di altri prodotti che
sono realizzati con materiali e componenti più poveri spesso non ammessi dalle normative CEE.

MATERIAL DELCARATION C.E.

Body, non-return valve, rear part and safety valve are moulded in 30% fibreglass reinforced
polyamide 6 (PA6GF30).
This allows for obtaining a high resistance to wear and pressure.

The diaphragm is moulded in EPDM ( Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer).

This guarantees exceptional reliability and durability.

The flow valve, pressure gauge rod and the diffuser are all in brass (OT58).
The dimensional stability of the metal guarantees the operation of the components.

The spring is made in UNI 3823 steel wire.

The stabilisation process guarantees the operation of the pressure switch, essential for the pump
start-up precision and the plant pressure adjustment. The dimensions and structure of the same
allow for considerably reducing the effects of water hammering.

The box containing the electrical part is moulded in shockproof self-extinguishing polystyrene
(PSau).

The use of prime materials and top-of-the-range components allows for achieving high levels of
