Install Instructions
5. Start the circulator: When purging the system, it is recommended to run the circulator at manual full speed operation long enough to
remove remaining air from the bearing chamber. To do this, turn the dial clockwise to the ZONE CIRC - MAX position. This is especially
important when installing the circulator in the off-season.
CAUTION: Never run the circulator dry or permanent damage may result.
ATTENTION: Ne laissez jamais le circulateur tourner à sec, des dommages permanents peuvent en résulter.
The 0018e
TM
has 3 Operating Modes on the Selector Dial:
• Proportional Pressure ( TRV ) - Varies speed to maintain a proportional/variable pressure differential.
• Constant Pressure ( ZV ) - Varies speed to maintain a constant pressure differential.
• Fixed Speed ( ZONE CIRC ) - Innitely adjustable settings (MIN-MAX).
4. Wiring the circulator: Disconnect AC power supply. Remove terminal box cover. Attach a wiring connector into knockout hole.
Use exible 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 eld 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. Depress the spring tab with a small
screwdriver to insert wire into plug. Release tabs to complete connection. The 0018e is a double insulated circulator, no grounding wire
is necessary. Replace terminal box cover.

To change operating mode and settings:
Modify the performance of the circulator as needed by rotating the dial using a at screwdriver. When an operating mode is
changed, a blue, orange or green LED will illuminate when the circulator is powered on. The LED will ash each time mode is
changed. See diagrams below to determine best mode of operation for the system.The selection of the right functioning curve
depends on the characteristics of the heating system and the actual heat demand.
