DESCRIPTION:

The 00e

series 0018e

circulator is a variable speed wet rotor circulator with an ECM, permanent magnet

motor. Operating modes include innitely variable xed speed, constant pressure, proportional pressure,

and activeADAPT

self-adjusting proportional pressure. Adjust the operating mode with the dial or the Taco

0018e

ECM Circulator Mobile App using Bluetooth

connectivity on your smartphone or tablet. The ECM

high-efciency motor reduces power consumption by up to 85% compared to equivalent AC permanent split

capacitor circulators.

• Electrical specications:

Voltage: 110-120V, 50/60 Hz, single phase

Maximum operating power: 44W

Maximum amp rating: 0.54

• Equipped with a cast iron casing and should be used for closed loop systems only

• Not suitable for open loop potable water or chilled water systems

INSTALLATION:

WARNING: Do not use in swimming pool or spa areas. Pump has not been investigated for these applications.

AVERTISSEMENT: Ne pas utiliser dans une piscine ou un spa. La pompe n’a pas été étudiée pour ces applications.

CAUTION: The addition of petroleum based uids or certain chemical additives to systems using TACO equipment voids the warranty. Consult factory for uid

compatibility.

ATTENTION: L’ajout de liquides à base de pétrole ou de certains additifs chimiques à des systèmes utilisant un équipement TACO annule la garantie. Consultez

le fabricant pour connaître la compatibilité de liquides.

CAUTION: Installations at elevations over 5000 feet must have higher ll pressure of 20 psi minimum to prevent pump cavitation and ashing. Premature failure

may result. Adjust expansion tank pressure to equal ll pressure. A larger size expansion tank may be required.

ATTENTION: Des installations à des altitudes de plus de 1600 mètres doivent présenter une pression de remplissage plus élevée de 20 psi au minimum an

d’éviter toute cavitation ou ashing de la pompe. Une défaillance prématurée peut en résulter. Réglez la pression du réservoir d’expansion de façon qu’elle soit

égale à la pression de remplissage. Un réservoir d’expansion d’une taille supérieure peut être nécessaire.

. Wiring the circulator: Disconnect AC power supply. Remove terminal box cover. Attach a wiring connector into knockout hole. Use flexible con-duit only. Connect Line/Hot power to the black lead, Neutral to the white lead. See wiring diagram. Note: If pigtail leads provided are not used, be sure to trim field wire to a strip length of .25” (+/- .025”) to prevent exposed wire causing a short at the terminal plug. Connect line and neutral to green terminal plug as shown in diagram.

Flow will change in relationship to the change in pressure differential. Selection options are Medium or High. If unsure on proper setting, select Medium and adjust as needed.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove LED panel from circulator. Serious damage to circulator electronics may result. ATTENTION: N’essayez pas de retirer le panneau de LED du circulateur. Des dommages sérieux à l’électronique du circulateur peuvent en résulter. 7. Troubleshooting the error codes: Listed below are potential diagnostic error codes which will appear on the LED display in case of a malfunction.

Unblocking Procedure: A red light in the LED indicates the circulator rotor is blocked or sticking. Turn the selector to the position MAX, disconnect and connect power supply to start the automatic release process. The circulator makes 100 attempts to restart (process lasts approximately 15 minutes). Every restart is signalled by a short flash of white LED light.
