1. General

Grundfos Alpha is suitable for systems with constant

or variable flows where it is desirable to optimize the

setting of the pump duty point.

2. Shipment inspection

Examine the components carefully to make sure no

damage has occurred to the pump during shipment.

Care should be taken to ensure the pump is NOT

dropped or mishandled.

• One Grundfos Alpha pump

• One line cord

• Two gaskets

• One installation and operating instructions

• One check valve

• One "Check Valve Installed" sticker

3. Pumped liquids

Clean, thin, non-aggressive and non-explosive

liquids, not containing solid particles, fibers or

mineral oil.

For glycol usage see Section 10. Review Section 10

for additional liquid information.

4. Pump installation

When making piping connections, be sure to

follow piping manufactures recommendations

and all code requirements for piping material.

• System should be properly flushed of debris

before pump installation.

• Insert check valve only if required; see fig. 1.

• Arrows on the pump housing indicate the liquid

flow direction through the pump.

• Install the pump with the motor shaft horizontal;

See fig. 2.

• Fit the two gaskets supplied to pump ends.

5. Changing the control box position

The control box orientation change should be made

before filling the system with fluid.

Pump liquid may be scalding hot and under high

pressure.

The control box can be rotated in steps of 90°.

Review fig. 3 for possible/permissible positions.

Only use orientations C and D for CSA Enclosure

Type 2.

Fig. 3 Changing the control box position

Procedure:

1. If fluid is present, drain system fluid from pump or

isolate system fluid from pump.

2. Loosen 4mm screws and turn the pump head to

desired position; see fig. 3.

3. Insert and cross-tighten the screws to 7 ft-lbs

torque.

6. Electrical installation

All electrical work should be performed by a qualified

electrician in accordance with the latest edition of the

National Electric Code and state, local codes and

regulations.

• The motor of Grundfos Alpha is protected by the

electronics in the control box and requires no

external motor protection.

• Check that the supply voltage and frequency

correspond to the values stated on the pump.

• Only connect the pump to the mains with the cord

set supplied; see fig. 4.

• Lights on the control panel indicate that the

electrical supply has been switched on.

• Do not modify and only use cord set supplied.

Fig. 4 Connecting and removing power plug

Warning

Before starting any work on this

circulator, make sure electrical supply

has been switched off and that it cannot

be accidentally switched on.

TM04 3418 4408

Warning

Risk of electrical shock - This pump is

supplied with a grounding conductor

and grounding-type attachment plug.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, be

certain that it is connected only to a

properly grounded, grounding-type

receptacle in accordance with the

National Electric Code and any state,

local governing codes and regulations.

*Hydraulic performance without check valve

Pos. Description

• Push-button for selection of pump setting

• Every time the push-button is pressed, the circulator setting is changed

III

High Fixed Speed

• Runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve. In Speed III, the pump is set

on the maximum curve under all operating conditions. Quick Vent of the pump can be obtained

by setting the pump to Speed III for a short period.

II Medium Fixed Speed

• Runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve. In Speed II, the pump is set on

the medium curve under all operating conditions.

ILow Fixed Speed

• Runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve. In Speed I, the pump is set on

the minimum curve under all operating conditions.

Constant Pressure I

• The duty point of the pump will move left and right along the lowest constant-pressure curve

depending on water demand in the system. The pump head (pressure) is kept constant,

irrespective of the water demand.

Constant Pressure II

• The duty point of the pump will move left and right along the middle constant-pressure curve

depending on water demand in the system. The pump head (pressure) is kept constant,

irrespective of the water demand.

Constant Pressure III

• The duty point of the pump will move left and right along the highest constant-pressure curve

depending on water demand in the system. The pump head (pressure) is kept constant,

irrespective of the water demand.

AutoADAPT (Factory Setting)

• This function controls the pump performance automatically within the defined performance

range (shaded area). AutoADAPT will adjust the pump performance to system demands over

time.
