4. Starting up the product
4.1 Before startup
Do not start the pump until the system has been filled with liquid
and vented. Make sure that the required minimum inlet pressure
is available at the pump inlet. See section 10. Technical data.
When using the pump for the first time, the system must be
vented. See section 4.3 Venting the pump. The pump is
self-venting through the system.
4.2 Starting up the pump
4.3 Venting the pump
Fig. 7 Venting the pump
Small air pockets trapped inside the pump may cause noise when
starting up the pump. However, because the pump is self-venting
through the system, the noise ceases over a period of time.
To speed up the venting process, do as follows:
1. Set the pump to speed III using the button on the operating
panel.
2. Let the pump run for minimum 30 minutes. How fast the pump
is vented depends on the system size and design.
When you have vented the pump, that is when the noise has
ceased, set the pump according to the recommendations. See
section 6. Control functions.

5. Product introduction
5.1 Product description
UPS3 can be used as stand-alone or integrated circulator pump
in existing systems as replacement or in new systems with either
variable or constant flow rate.
The speed can be controlled by a low-voltage PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) signal.
High-efficiency ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) pumps,
such as UPS3, must not be speed-controlled by an external
speed controller varying or pulsing the supply voltage.
5.1.1 Model type
These installation and operating instructions cover UPS3. The
model type is stated on the packaging and nameplate.
5.2 Applications
The pump is designed for circulating liquids in all heating
systems. The pumps are suitable for the following systems:
Systems with constant or variable flows where it is desirable to
optimise the pump duty point.
Installation in existing systems where the differential pressure
of the pump is too high during periods of reduced flow
demand.
Installation in new systems for automatic adjustment of the
performance to flow demands without the use of bypass
valves or similar expensive components.
5.3 Pumped liquids
The pump is suitable for clean, thin, non-aggressive and
non-explosive liquids, not containing solid particles, fibres or
mineral oil.
In heating systems, the water must meet the requirements of
accepted standards on water quality in heating systems, for
example the German guideline VDI 2035.
Mixtures of water with antifreeze media such as glycol with a
kinematic viscosity lower than 10 mm2/s (10 cSt). When selecting
a pump, the viscosity of the pumped liquid must be taken into
consideration. If the pump is used for a liquid with a higher
viscosity, the hydraulic performance of the pump is reduced.

The control mode, after pressing the button
•Alarm status
6.1.1 Alarm or warning
If the pump has detected one or more alarms or warnings, the
first LED switches from green to red. When the fault has been
resolved the operating panel switches back to operating status.
See section 9. Fault finding the product.
6.2 Control modes
The pump has seven different control modes. Learn more about
them in the following sections.
6.2.1 Constant curve or constant speed, I, II or III (factory
setting)
At constant-curve or constant-speed operation, the pump runs at
a constant curve. The pump performance follows the selected
performance curve, I, II or III. See fig. 14 where II has been
selected.
Fig. 12 Constant-curve/-speed curve
The selection of the constant-curve or constant-speed setting
depends on the characteristics of the heating system in question.
6.2.2 Proportional pressure I, II
In proportional-pressure mode the pump performance follows the
selected performance curve I or II and adjusts the pump
performance to the actual heat demand in the system following
the proportional-pressure curve.
Fig. 13 Proportional-pressure curve
* Proportional pressure mode is not recommended in heating
systems that include an automatic bypass valve to ensure a
minimum flow for the heating appliances.
6.2.3 Constant pressure I, II
In constant-pressure mode the pump follows the selected
constant-pressure curve I or II, adjusts the pump performance to
the actual heat demand in the system following the selected
constant-pressure curve.

6.2.4 Changing from recommended to alternative pump
setting
Heating systems are relatively slow systems that cannot be set to
the optimum operation within minutes or hours.
If the recommended pump setting does not give the desired
distribution of heat in the rooms of the house, change the pump
setting to the shown alternative.
6.2.5 Selecting the control modes
Proportional pressure
We recommend proportional-pressure mode in variable flow
systems with relatively large pressure losses in the distribution
pipes such as:
two-pipe heating systems with thermostatic valves and long
distribution pipes
two-pipe heating systems with thermostatic valves and high
pressure losses in system parts with total flow
primary circuit pumps in systems with large pressure losses in
the primary circuit.
Note: Proportional-pressure mode is not recommended in
heating systems that includes an automatic bypass valve to
ensure a minimum flow for the heating appliances.
Constant pressure
We recommend constant-pressure mode in variable flow systems
with relatively small pressure losses in the distribution pipes such
as:
two-pipe heating systems with thermostatic valves and
dimensioned for natural circulation (former gravity systems)
two-pipe heating systems with thermostatic valves and low
pressure losses in system parts with total flow
one-pipe heating systems with thermostatic valves or pipe
balancing valves
underfloor heating systems with zone valves
primary circuit pumps in systems with small pressure losses in
the primary circuit.
Constant curve
We recommend constant-curve mode in constant-flow systems,
where both a constant flow rate and a constant head are required,
such as:
heat surfaces
replacement for uncontrolled circulator pumps, for instance
integrated in boilers.
6.3 Control signal
The pump can be controlled via a digital low-voltage pulse-width
modulation (PWM) signal.
The square-wave PWM signal is designed for a 100 to 4,000 Hz
frequency range. The PWM signal is used to select the speed
(speed command) and as feedback signal. The PWM frequency
on the feedback signal is fixed at 75 Hz in the circulator pump.
For instructions on how to set the connection, see section
7.1 Setting the PWM input signal.
Duty cycle
d % = 100 x t/T
Example
Fig. 15 PWM signal
6.3.1 Interface
The pump’s interface consists of an electronic part connecting the
external control signal to the circulator pump. The interface
translates the external signal into a signal type that the
microprocessor can understand.
In addition, the interface ensures that the user cannot get into
contact with dangerous voltage if touching the signal wires when
power is connected to the circulator pump.
Note: "Signal ref." is a signal reference with no connection to
protective earth.

6.3.2 PWM input signal profile A (heating)
The pump runs on constant-speed curves depending on the PWM
input signal. The speed decreases when the PWM value
increases. If the PWM signal equals zero (0 VDC), the pump will
switch to the control mode selected before connecting to a PWM
signal.
Fig. 17 PWM input signal profile A (heating)
6.3.3 PWM feedback signal
The PWM feedback signal offers pump information like in bus
systems:
current power consumption (accuracy ± 2 % of PWM signal)
warning
•alarm.
Alarms
Alarm output signals are available because some PWM output
signals are dedicated to alarm information. If a supply voltage is
measured below the specified supply voltage range, the output
signal is set to 75 %. If the rotor is locked due to deposits in the
hydraulics, the output signal is set to 90 % because this alarm
has a higher priority. See fig. 18.

constant-pressure curve
7.1 Setting the PWM input signal
To enable the external control mode (PWM profile A), you need a
signal cable connected to an external system. The cable
connection has three conductors: the signal input, the signal
output and the signal reference.
The cable is not supplied with the pump but can be ordered as an
accessory.
Fig. 20 Mini superseal plug
Set the signal connection
1. Make sure that the pump is turned off.
2. Locate the PWM signal connection on the pump.
The three pins inside the signal connection are not energised.
3. Connect the signal cable with the mini superseal plug.
4. Switch on the power supply.
5. The pump automatically detects if a valid PWM signal is
available after which it enables the control mode on the pump.
See fig. 8. If the pump does not detect a PWM signal or if the
signal equals 0, the pump will switch to the control mode
selected before connecting to a PWM signal.

9. Fault finding the product
If the pump has detected one or more alarms, the first LED
switches from green to red. When an alarm is active, the LEDs
indicate the alarm type as defined in fig. 22.
When there is no active alarm anymore, the operating panel
switches back to operating status and the first LED switches from
red to green.
Fig. 22 Fault finding table
9.1 Deblocking the shaft
If the pump is blocked it is necessary to deblock the shaft. The
pump deblocking device is accessible from the front of the pump
without having to demount the control box. The force of the
device is high enough to deblock pumps, which are seized by
lime, for example if the pump has been turned off during summer.
Course of action:
1. Switch off the power supply.
2. Close the valves.
3. Locate the deblocking screw in the centre of the control box.
Use a star screwdriver with a size 2 Phillips tip to push the
deblocking screw inwards.
4. When the screw can be turned counterclockwise, the shaft
has been deblocked. Repeat step 3, if necessary.
5. Switch on the power supply.
Fig. 23 Deblocking the shaft
If multiple alarms are active at the same time, the
LEDs only show the error with the highest priority.
The priority is defined by the sequence of the table.
DANGER

10. Technical data
To avoid condensation in the stator, the liquid temperature
must always be higher than the ambient temperature.
Reduced supply voltage
The pump operation is ensured above 160 VAC with
reduced performance. If the voltage falls below 190 VAC,
a low-voltage warning is sent via the PWM signal. If the
voltage falls below 150 VAC, the pump stops and shows
an alarm.
