2. Informació de seguretat

Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or operating the pump. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, serious injury, or property damage.

  • Seguretat elèctrica: Assegureu-vos que la font d'alimentació coincideixi amb el volum de la bombatage (DC 12V). Disconnect power before performing any installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. All electrical connections should be secure and insulated.
  • Seguretat de l'aigua: This pump is designed for clean water. Do not use it for flammable liquids, corrosive chemicals, or water above 60℃.
  • Instal·lació: Install the pump in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Pressió: The pump operates under high pressure. Ensure all connections are tight and capable of withstanding the rated pressure (1.2 MPa).
  • Nens i animals de companyia: Keep the pump and its connections out of reach of children and pets.

3. Característiques del producte

  • Overpressure Automatic Pressure Relief: Equipped with an automatic pressure relief device on the pump body to prevent damage from excessive pressure during operation.
  • Multi-Proof Properties: Features oil resistance, heat resistance, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance for durability in various working environments.
  • Compact & Efficient with Low Noise: Small size, low current draw, high pressure output, and quiet operation for easy installation and minimal disturbance.
  • Intel·ligent voltage Reglament: Automatically starts when the water outlet valve is opened and stops when the valve is closed, saving energy and protecting the pump.
  • 10mm Right Water Outlet & Stable Permanent Magnet DC Motor: Features a 10mm right-side water outlet for convenient connection and a permanent magnet DC motor for reliable, long-term performance.

5. Configuració i instal·lació

Follow these steps for proper installation of your diaphragm pump:

  1. Muntatge: Securely mount the pump on a stable, flat surface using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes on the pump base. Ensure the pump is positioned horizontally.
  2. Water Inlet/Outlet Connection:
    • Identify the water outlet. The pump features a 10mm right water outlet. A marking on the pump body indicates the outlet direction.
    • Connect appropriate hoses to the inlet and outlet ports. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free to handle the pump's operating pressure.

  3. Connexió elèctrica: Connect the pump's power lead wires to a DC 12V power source. The power lead wires can be connected regardless of positive or negative polarity. Ensure the connection is secure and protected from moisture.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

The FTVOGUE Intelligent Diaphragm Pump features an automatic pressure switch for convenient operation:

  1. Initial Priming: Ensure the pump is filled with water or that the suction line is submerged in water to allow for self-priming. The pump has a self-priming height of 3 meters.
  2. Encès: Turn on the DC 12V power switch connected to the pump. The pump will remain in standby mode if no water flow is detected.
  3. Inici de l'operació: Open the water outlet valve (e.g., a tap or nozzle). The intelligent pressure switch will detect the drop in pressure and automatically start the pump, initiating water flow.
  4. Atura l'operació: Close the water outlet valve. The intelligent pressure switch will detect the pressure buildup and automatically cut off power, stopping the pump. This feature conserves energy and protects the pump from continuous dry running.

7. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el rendiment òptim de la bomba:

  • Neteja: Keep the pump exterior clean and free from debris.
  • Connexions: Periodically check all water and electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Tighten as necessary.
  • Filter (if applicable): If an inline filter is used on the suction side, inspect and clean it regularly to prevent clogging and maintain flow rate.
  • Hivernització: In freezing conditions, drain all water from the pump and hoses to prevent damage from ice expansion.
