1. Introduction

The MQ is a low-noise water supply system

consisting of pump, motor, pressure tank and

controller combined into one compact unit. The

system is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

The self-priming pump starts automatically when

water is consumed in the installation and stops when

consumption ceases. The internal, built-in non-return

valve prevents backflow during priming and

operation.

The MQ pump incorporates overtemperature and

dry-running protection as well as a user-friendly

control panel.

The built-in pressure tank reduces the number of

starts and stops in case of leakage in the installation.

2. Items supplied

The MQ packaging contains these items:

• MQ water supply system with built-in non-return

valve

• non-return inlet valve in plastic bag

• installation and operating instructions.

6.1 Suction lift

The maximum suction lift of the pump can be

determined from the diagram, page 49.

Example:

If the suction lift is 10 ft, the length of the suction pipe

must not exceed 72 ft.

7. Mechanical installation

7.1 Location

The pump is suitable for indoor and outdoor

installation. It is resistant to sunlight.

7.2 Foundation

Mount the pump on the base plate with horizontal

suction port and vertical discharge port.

The pump must be installed horizontally.

The maximum permissible inclination angle is ± 18 °.

See fig. 2.

Fig. 2 Horizontal installation of the MQ

To prevent movement and vibrations, the pump and

base plate can be secured to a solid foundation by

means of the bolt holes in the base plate. For

pipework connection, see section 7.4 Pipework.

7.3 Space requirement

For inspection and service, allow a minimum

clearance of 60" behind the pump.

Fig. 3 Minimum clearance behind the pump

Being self-cooling, the pump requires no space or

ventilation at the sides.

7.4 Pipework

The pump is supplied with 1" NPT screwed

connections. Fit the connections in the suction and

discharge ports. See fig. 4. The pump discharge port

is flexible, ± 5 °, to facilitate the fitting.

Fig. 4 Fitting of screwed connections in suction

and discharge ports

Carefully screw the discharge connection into the

discharge port, using a spanner or similar tool.

Hold the discharge connection, and tighten the pump

discharge union nut with your hand. See fig. 5.

Fig. 5 Correct: Tighten the discharge union nut

with your hand

Note

For outdoor installation, the pump must

be fitted with a protective cover

(accessory). See section 7.5 Protective

cover and 13. Accessories.

Note

Should the unlikely event of an internal

leakage occur, pumped liquid will be

drained out from the base and/or end

cover instead of damaging the pump.

Install the pump in such a way that no

undesirable collateral damage can

arise.

Fig. 6 Wrong: Do not use a tool to tighten the

discharge union nut

7.4.1 Suction pipes connected to a well

If the pump draws water from a well, we recommend

to fit a foot valve to the end of the suction pipe.

See fig. 7.

Fig. 7 Suction pipes connected to a well

7.4.2 Suction hose instead of pipe

If a suction hose is used instead of a pipe, the hose

should not exceed the lengths stated in the graph,

page 49. The suction hose must be minimum Ø1".

The hose must be of the non-collapsible type.

7.4.3 Long suction pipes

A separate non-return inlet valve is supplied with the

pump. In case of long suction pipes, we recommend

to fit the non-return inlet valve in the pump suction

port. See section 7.4.4 Fitting of the non-return inlet

valve

The pipes must be adequately supported on either

side of the pump to avoid straining the pump

connections.

7.4.4 Fitting of the non-return inlet valve

The non-return inlet valve reduces the risk of losing

pump priming in negative suction applications and

improves the auto-aspiration capability, for example

in water supply from a cistern.

Install the non-return inlet valve as follows,

see fig. 8:

1. Remove the suction connection of the pump.

2. Fit the non-return inlet valve into the suction port

in the direction shown in fig. 8.

3. Refit the pump connection.

Fig. 8 Fitting of non-return inlet valve

7.5 Protective cover

The protective cover protects the control panel

against the weather. It is available as an accessory.

See section 13. Accessories.

To fit the protective cover, click the cover onto the

top of the control panel so that it engages with the

top cooling ribs.

To remove the cover, pull the two clips outwards,

free of the cooling ribs, and pull the cover upwards.

Fig. 9 Protective cover

TM 044272 1009TM01 9693 2600

Note

Applications with positive inlet

pressure do not require installation of

the non-return inlet valve, due to the

fact that the MQ pump incorporates an

internal non-return valve at the

discharge side.

8. Electrical connection

The electrical connections and additional protection

should be carried out by qualified persons in

accordance with local regulations.

The operating voltage and frequency are marked on

the nameplate. Make sure that the motor is suitable

for the electricity supply on which it will be used.

The pump must be connected to the mains via a

sheathed cable with a protective ground lead. It is

possible to replace the mains supply cable.

See fig. 10.

Fig. 10 Electrical connection

Connect the mains supply cable of the pump to the

electricity supply. When the cable is connected, a red

Warning

Non-submersible pump.

If the power cord is damaged, it must

be replaced by the manufacturer, an

authorized service center or by a

qualified person in order to avoid risks.

Never make any connections in the

pump terminal box unless the

electricity supply has been switched off

for at least 5 minutes.

Risk of electric shock:

This pump is supplied with a grounding

conductor and grounding type

attachment plug. To reduce the risk of

electric shock, install only on circuit

protected by a Ground-Fault-Circuit-

Interrupter (GFCI).

This pump is not intended, nor has it

been investigated for use in swimming

pool or marine areas.

This pump has been evaluated for use

with water only.

Do not start the pump until it has been

filled with water (primed, see fig. 12).

Acceptable for indoor and outdoor use.

8.5 Start-up

Before start-up, the pump must be filled with 1.2 to

1.5 gallons of water to enable it to self-prime,

see fig. 14. The pump is self-priming with a

maximum suction lift of 25 ft.

Fig. 14 Priming the pump

When started, the pump begins to self-prime.

When it has been primed, the pump will

automatically change over to normal operation.

If the priming has not been completed within

5 minutes, the pump will stop automatically and

attempt to restart after 30 minutes. It is possible to

reset the pump manually, see point 2 in the table of

section 9.1 Control panel.

9. Functions

9.1 Control panel

The MQ pump is operated entirely by means of the

control panel. See fig. 1. The control panel offers the

possibility of starting/stopping the pump. The pump

settings and operating condition are indicated by

indicator lights. See fig. 15.

15. MQ frequently asked questions

1. What causes the MQ to start?

Answer: The MQ is equipped with both an

internal flow switch and pressure switch. Each of

these can turn the MQ on, depending on water

consumption. The pump will start when:

The flow rate is greater than 0.3 gpm

OR

the pressure is below 29 psi.

2. What causes the MQ to stop?

Answer: Other than the manual on/off button,

only the flow switch is authorized to automatically

stop the MQ during normal operation when flow

drops below 0.3 gpm. The pump will shut off in

12-15 seconds after flow stops.

Additionally, the MQ will be turned off in the event

of a dry-run or overtemperature alarm.

3. What is the maximum height of a tap above

the MQ?

Answer: If a tap or faucet is installed at heights

greater than 50 ft above the MQ, there is the

potential risk that the MQ will never start. In

cases where the MQ starts due to low pressure

(low flow rates), the pressure has to fall below

the pressure switch activation point (28-30 psi

factory setting). To allow for the pressure of 50 ft

of water, tolerances and a safety margin, we

recommend a maximum height of 50 ft between

the MQ and any tap.

4. What is the purpose of the built-in pressure

tank?

Answer: The built-in pressure tank comes from

the factory, pressurized at approximately 23 psi

(with the pump pressure at zero) and holds a

volume of 14 ounces of water. It is designed to

minimize motor startup due to small leaks.

5. How is the dry-run condition determined?

Answer: The dry-run alarm is declared when the

motor is running AND the flow rate is less than

1.6 gpm AND when pressure is less than the

pressure switch setting. When this condition lasts

for 12 seconds, the alarm will be declared after

1 minute, and the motor is stopped. The MQ

attempts to automatically restart every 30

minutes for a maximum of 24 hours. If more than

24 hours pass without water, the pump must be

restarted manually.

6. What is the maximum inlet pressure allowed

in the MQ?

Answer: For both MQ 3-35 and MQ 3-45, the

maximum internal pressure allowed is 109 psi.

The maximum inlet pressure when added to the

MQ pressure must not exceed 109 psi.

Remember that inlet pressure adds to the MQ

pressure, so with a 40 psi inlet pressure supplied

to the MQ 3-45, internal pressures can reach

approximately 105 psi (65 + 40 psi).

Additionally, if inlet pressures exceed the built-in

pressure switch activation point (28-30 psi

factory setting), the pressure switch will be

unable to activate, and the ability to turn the MQ

on at low flow rates will be lost. In this situation,

only the flow switch will be able to turn the MQ on

at flow rates above its activation point of 0.3 gpm

7. What is the priming capacity of the MQ?

Answer: Approx. 1.2 gallons.

8. How is overload temperature/overtemperature

of the MQ detected?

Answer: The motor has a thermal switch

incorporated in the motor windings. The switch

will cut out the motor and start again. See the

table below.

9. Where can a pressure gauge be easily

installed to measure the discharge pressure?

Answer: In the discharge piping or in 3/8" GAS

straight thread opening used to add priming

water to the pump.

16. Disposal

1. Introduction

Le groupe MQ est un système d'alimentation d'eau à

faible sonorité composé d'une pompe, d'un moteur,

d'un réservoir sous pression et d'un système de

commande combinés dans une unité compacte. La

pompe est conçue pour une utilisation en intérieur et

en extérieur.

La pompe auto-amorçante démarre automatique-

ment quand l'eau est consommée dans l'installation

et s'arrête dès que la consommation cesse. Le cla-

pet anti-retour interne intégré empêche le refoule-

ment pendant l'auto-amorçage et le fonctionnement.

La pompe MQ est équipée d'une protection contre la

surchauffe et la marche à sec ainsi que d'un pan-

neau de commande facile à utiliser.

Le réservoir sous pression intégré réduit le nombre

de démarrages et d'arrêts, en cas de fuites dans

l'installation.

2. Composants fournis

Le colis du MQ contient :

• un système d'alimentation d'eau MQ avec clapet

anti-retour intégré

• un clapet d'entrée anti-retour en sachet plastique

• une notice d'installation et de fonctionnement.

6.1 Hauteur d'aspiration

La hauteur maximale d'aspiration de la pompe peut

être déterminée d'après le schéma de la page 49.

Exemple

Si la hauteur d'aspiration est de 3 m (10 pieds),

la longueur du conduit d'aspiration ne doit pas

dépasser 22 m (72 pieds).

7. Installation mécanique

7.1 Lieu d'installation

La pompe est conçue pour une installation en inté-

rieur et en extérieur. Elle résiste à la lumière du

soleil.

7.2 Base

Installer la pompe sur le socle, avec l'orifice d’aspira-

tion à l'horizontale et l'orifice de refoulement à la ver-

ticale.

La pompe doit être installée horizontalement.

Angle d'inclinaison maximal admissible :

± 18 °. Voir fig. 2.

Fig. 2 Installation horizontale de la pompe MQ

Pour éviter mouvements et vibrations, la pompe et le

socle peuvent être sécurisés à une base solide, par

les orifices de boulons dans le socle. Pour raccorde-

ment tuyauterie, voir paragr. 7.4 Tuyauterie.

7.3 Dégagement requis

Pour l'inspection et l'entretien, prévoir un dégage-

ment d'au moins 150 cm (60") derrière la pompe.

Fig. 3 Dégagement minimal derrière la pompe

La pompe étant auto-refroidie, elle ne nécessite ni

dégagement ni ventilation sur les côtés.

Nota

Si la pompe est installée en extérieur,

elle doit être équipée d'un couvercle de

protection (accessoire). Voir paragr.

7.5 Couvercle de protection et

13. Accessoires.

Nota

En cas de fuite interne accidentelle,

le liquide pompé sera vidangé du socle

et/ou du couvercle d'extrémité pour évi-

ter d'endommager la pompe. Installer la

pompe de manière à éviter tout dom-

mage collatéral indésirable.
