 1. Introduction of the 4HS submersible pumps range

4HS is a 4” high speed centrifugal submersible pump for clean water composed by:
 high speed three phase asynchronous motor with wet rotor and canned type resin filled stator.
 Built-in inverter on board driven by a dedicated control module (CM) positioned outside the well.
 High speed multi stage pump entirely made of AISI 304 stainless steel.
Pump driving made by inverter allows:
 Modify the pump speed to grant constant the desired pressure regardless water request. In this way the
pump is operated only and when needed thus avoiding unnecessary waste of energy and granting longer
system life.
 implement the soft start and the soft stop to increase the system life and reducing the current peaks.
 protect the motor from overloading and dry running , overvoltage, undervoltage and possible abnormal
conditions
4HS is used on residential and industrial sectors for water pressurized systems, granting:
 Energy saving
 Simplified and quick installation
 Long life reliability

 2. Safety Instructions

NASTEC strongly suggests to reading carefully this operation manual before using and installing its products
Any operation (installation, maintenance and repair) must be carried out by trained, skilled and qualified personnel.
Failure to observe and follow the instruction of this manual may result fatal in dangerous electric shock.

The unit must be connected to the power supply by a switch granting the
complete visual disconnection (separation) from the line before any operation
on the 4HS itself and on the connected load.

Disconnect the unit from the power supply before any operation.

Do not remove for any reason, the cover of the CM and the cable guard
without having visually disconnected the unit from the power supply and
having waited at least 5 minutes.

4HS and pump system must be grounded properly before operation.

For the entire period the CM is powered a high voltage is present on the
output terminals independently if it is running or not the pump.

Do not start the pump for any reason if not completely immersed in water.

Avoid any shock or serious impact during transportation.

Check the 4HS immediately upon delivery and check for damage and/or missing parts. In either case, immediately
notify the supplier.
Damages due to transportation, incorrect installation, or improper use of the device will null and void the warranty.
NASTEC cannot be held responsible for any damage to people and/or property due to improper use of its
products.

3. Stocking conditions

Store the product on its packaging in a dry and well ventilated environment within a temperature range from -20 ° C
and 70 ° C.
If the pump remains in stock for more than a year is recommended to disassemble the rotating parts and test their
functionality. It 'also need to power the electric pump (without running the motor) to allow charging of electrolytic
capacitors of the inverter module.
If the pump has already been put into operation and is then placed in storage, the minimum storage temperature is
4 ° C. Alternatively you need to add anti-freeze fluid.

 6. Pump installation

Entire installation procedure must be performed verifying that pump is not connected to the
mains.

Pump can be installed both vertically and horizontally,

but the outlet should never be below the horizontal
line.

If the pump is not installed in a well, to grant a proper

cooling, a cooling sleeve must be used; doing so the
minimum speed of the pumped liquid has to be
granted.

6.1 Installing pump in the well

To reduce noise transmission it is advised to use plastic pipes.

The pump must always be secured in the well through a special rope attached to loop on the pump head.
It is recommended not to drop the pump in the well by using the electric cable, its integrity must be preserved in all
operations. In this regard it is recommended to fix the cable on cable support or on the pipe.
During operation the pump suction must always remains at least 1.5 meters below the dynamic water level.

6
 Do not drop the pump in the well by using the electric cable
Make sure about the electric cable integrity during all the operations.
Ensure the pump in the well with a stainless steel rope to be fixed to the
hole in the pump head

6.2 Pump cable

4HS are equipped, in their standard configuration, with 5 meter flat cable length.

If the distance between the pump and the CM is longer than the supplied cable it is necessary to make a junction
performed by the special kit supplied as standard.
The cable section for additional power conductors must be calculated considering the maximum allowed voltage
drop.

 To make the junction is necessary to follow carefully the instructions inside the kit.

At the time of joining and electrical connection is essential to maintain the

correspondence between the signal cables.

After cable joining and placed the pump in the well you must perform, before
connecting to the CM, a test of insulation: join together the two power cables and,
applying a voltage of 500V, an insulation resistance from the ground higher than 100
Mohm must be verified. Join together the two signal cables and, applying a voltage of
500V, an insulation resistance from the ground higher than 100 Mohm must be verified.

7 CM installation

The CM can be easily fixed to the wall using 2 screws through the holes shown in Figure 2.

Then using the special inserts thus cover can be fixed firmly.

The IP55 protection degree enables the CM installation even in humid and dusty environments. However it is
recommended to protect the CM from the direct exposure to weather and sunlight.

 Read carefully the Guidelines for safety before installing the device.
At the end of the installation check that no other objects are inside the CM or
deposited on the electronic board.
It is recommended to tighten all 4 screws with washers of the cover before
powering the device. Otherwise, you may fail to connect to ground the cover
with a risk of electric shock or even death.

8. 4HS pumps installation for constant pressure mode

CM can manage the rotation speed of pump to maintain constant the pressure in a point of plant regardless the
water demand of the user.
The basic scheme of a line of pumping system capable of achieving this operation is as follows:

10
 8.1 Pressure tank

Installation of a pressure tank in the hydraulic system is recommended to compensate leakage of water in the
system (or during minimum water demand) and to avoid continuous start/stop cycling of the pump (check the
appendix for more information).

Selecting the proper volume and pre-charge pressure of the tank is very important; smaller tank volumes will not
compensate adequately for minimum water usage or leakage, while larger volumes make it more difficult for CM to
control the pressure evenly.

Recommended tank volume is equal to the 10% of the maximum water flow of the system (expressed in volume
unit/min)

Example: if the max water flow is 50 liters/min, the pressure tank should have a capacity of 5 liters
If the max water flow is 20 gpm, the pressure tank should have a capacity of 2 gallons

Pre-charge pressure of the pressure tank should be at least 1 bar (15 psi) less than the set-pressure of the system.

Example: if the set-pressure of the system is 4 bar, the pre-charge pressure of the tank should be 3 bar
If the set-pressure of the system is 60 psi, the pre-charge pressure of the tank should be 45 psi

8.2 Pressure sensor

It is possible to use pressure sensor with a linear output signal with range 4 – 20 mA.
Pressure transducer will be powered by any range of DC voltage including the value 24 V.
It is necessary to set the pressure sensor characteristics in the initial configuration menu or in the installer menu
(please check the relevant chapter on setting parameters).

The connection of the pressure sensor is through the analog input terminals

0V (signal GND, if available)

+24V (power supply 24 V dc)

AN1 (signal 4-20 mA)

CM accepts the signal of an additional pressure transducer to be activated automatically if the first transducer fails;
it is enough to connect the wires of the additional pressure transducer to pin AN2 (signal 4-20 mA) and +24V (power
supply 24 V dc).

11
 To stabilize the pressure control operated by the CM module, it is suggested to put the
pressure sensor near the well exit, after the check valve.

Pressure sensor and power cables can be close but it is suggested to use a shield cable
connecting the shield to the sensor ground pin.

8.3 Minimum stop frequency at 0 delivery (f min Q=0) during constant pressure control.

Minimum stop frequency is the minimum frequency value that, while maintaining the p_set, water delivery is zero.
Below scheme graphically shows the function:

H
100 Hz

80 Hz

p_set (es: 3 bar)

76 Hz

40 Hz

Progressively closing the water delivery valve reduces flow, causing CM to reduce the pump speed by reducing the
output frequency, to maintain a constant pressure (i.e. 3 bar).
Once the water flow stops (output completely closed), pump will run at minimum frequency to maintain the set
pressure.
Upon determining that the water requirement has stopped, CM stops the pump to save energy. Thus, the pump will
be stopped when minimum frequency is reached.
Once the pump is stopped at min. frequency value, set pressure is maintained in the system.
To maintain the pressure on the pump output line, it is necessary to install a small pressure tank able to compensate
for minor water leakage and to limit the number of pump restarts.
It is important to pinpoint that a particular set pressure corresponds to a single value of min. stop frequency.

If the end user wants to change the set pressure, a new value of min. stop frequency
should also be set.

10.6 Advanced parameters

All the advanced parameters, due to their importance, are automatically set during initial setup. However, it is
always possible to modify individual parameters or modify the password 2:

parameter default description

230 Motor rated voltage (as shown in the motor plate)
Rated motor Volt. Average voltage drop due to the inverter is between 20
V and 30 Vrms based on load condition, so when the
V = XXX [V] input voltage is 230 V the average output voltage will
be between 200 V and 210 Vrms.

Voltage boost 1 Refers to the voltage increase during the start up of the
motor.
V = XX [%]

Max motor Amp. 12 Max current absorbed by the motor.

This parameters allows the possibility to limit the
I = XX.X [A] current to the motor limiting as well the hydraulic
performances.
Max motor freq. 110 Maximum frequency of the motor. Note: by reducing
the maximum frequency of the motor, maximum
f = XXX [Hz] current will be reduced as well.

Min motor freq. 40 Minimum frequency of the motor. Note: for 4HS pump
is not advisable to set minimum frequency lower than
f = XXX [Hz] 40 Hz in order to protect the integrity of the thrust
bearings.
5 Ramp-up time to reach the speed required to achieve
the set pressure (or frequency value). Longer times
Ramp up time
delay the system reaching the pre set value but better
t = XX [sec] protect system components.
Excessively long ramp-up times can create difficulties in
CM setup, and can also cause false overload alarms.
5 Ramp-down time to reach zero speed. Longer times
keep the system pressurized, while protecting the
Ramp down time
system components.
t = XX [sec] Excessively long ramp-down times can create
difficulties in CM setup. Excessively short ramp-down
times can cause false overload alarms.

and vice versa.
t = XX [sec] Note: it’s important to keep this time less than one
second.

Dry run cosphi 0.50 If the pump goes into dry-running, the cosphi reaches
its lowest level. Typically the value 0.50 is sufficient to
cosphi = X.XX detect dry running pump 4HS.

PWM 10 Carrier frequency (switching frequency).

It is possible to chose PWM in the range of 2.5 ,4, 8, 10,
f = XX [kHz ] 12 kHz .

50 This parameter allows you to change the V / f

characteristic with which MINT feeds the engine. The
linear characteristic corresponds to constant torque
V/f lin. --> quad. with variable speed. The quadratic characteristic is
normally used with centrifugal pumps. The selection of
XXX % torque characteristic should be done ensuring a
smooth operation, a reduction of energy consumption
and a lower level of heat and acoustic noise.

its normal status; if 4HS was powering the pump
ON/OFF before voltage drop, it returns to feed the pump

Warning, read again the advice of the chapter 1.

level) (default 002) to be changed.

Anytime a protection occurs a blinking message is displayed together an acoustic alarm; on STATUS on INITIAL VIEW
the protection is displayed; by pressing STOP button (only and exclusively from the this position of STATUS on
INITIAL VIEW) is possible to try to reset the alarm; if CM does not reset the alarm it is displayed again together an
acoustic sound.
