Instruction Manual

The Davey Speedman Compact tted to this pump has a status indicator
mounted on its front panel. This will be illuminated whenever the Speedman
Compact senses that there is electrical power available. It will only work
when unit is connected to the correct electrical supply.
The electrical connections and checks must be made by a
qualied electrician and comply with applicable local standards.
Power Connection
Connect lead to power supply (220-240V 1phase 50Hz) as designated
on controller label. Note that while the pump motor is rated three phase,
the single phase supply is inverted to suit in the controller. Do not use
long extension leads as they cause substantial voltage drop, poor pump
performance and may cause motor overload.
Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a rm base and as close to the water source as
possible with correct power supply. Make sure your pressure system is
always connected to an adequate, reliable source of clean water.
Housing your Davey Pressure System
To protect your pressure system from the weather,
make sure the pump house is both water proof,
frost free and has adequate ventilation. The pump
should be horizontally mounted on a rm base
allowing for drainage, to avoid damage to ooring
etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe
joints or pump seals. Do not mount the pump
vertically.
WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, nd electrical
devices attractive for various reasons. If your pump enclosure is
susceptible to insect infestation you should implement a suitable
pest control plan.
Electrical Power Surge Protection
An electrical power surge or spike can travel on the supply lines and cause
serious damage to your electrical equipment. The Speedman Compact
controller tted to this system has a metal oxide varistor (MOV) tted to
help protect it’s circuit. This MOV is a “sacricial” device, meaning that it
effectively is gradually damaged every time it takes a surge. The MOV is
not a lightning arrestor and may not protect the control unit if lightning or a
very powerful surge hits the pump unit.
If the installation is subject to electrical power surges or lightning we
strongly recommend the use of suitable additional surge protection devices
on ALL electrical equipment.
