1. Location – Install the

“00” circulator on the system supply side of the boiler

“pumping away” from the expansion tank as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6. This

is the best pump location for optimum system performance and maintaining

positive system pressure.

2. Mounting position – Mount circulator with the motor in the horizontal posi-

tion. It may be mounted vertically with the motor up, provided that the sys-

tem cold fill pressure is at least 20 psi (138 kPa) to ensure proper air purg-

ing and prevent flashing. Make sure that the junction box is NOT located underneath the circulator. See Figure 3.

3. Rotating body – Body has an arrow on the front that indicates direction of flow. To rotate body, remove the four body bolts, rotate

body and replace bolts.

4. Electrical connections – Observe all applicable codes when connecting to power supply. The motor is thermally protected, and does not

require additional overload protection. Remove smaller conduit box cover. Attach the white wire to the white (common) power supply

wire and the yellow wire to the black (hot) power supply wire. See Figure 2.

5. Fill system with tap water or maximum 50% glycol/water mix – The system must be filled before operating the circulator. The bearings

are water lubricated and should not be allowed to operate dry. Filling the system will result in immediate lubrication of the bearings.

It is always good practice to flush a new system of foreign matter before starting the circulator.

6. Circulator operation – Operate the circulator for 5 minutes at full speed immediately after flushing the system to purge remaining air

from the cartridge. This is especially important when installing the circulator during the off-season.

7. Turn speed dial on circulator to the desired speed and performance range. See Page 3 for performance curves.

PrOPEr rEMOVAL/rEPLACEMENT OF THE INTEgrAL FLOW CHECK (IFC): Your “00” circulator with an Integral Flow Check (IFC) is designed for easy removal, service and replacement. Please follow these instructions to ensure proper service and operation of the circulator. rEMOVAL: 1. Disconnect power to circulator and related equipment. 2. Shut off water supply. Isolate circulator using service valves or drain system if valves are not available. 3. Allow system to cool to prevent scalding.
