2. Environment

The HeathroFish pump is designed to work in all weathers,except for temperaturesbelow 0 ° C

(Celsius).

Use in cold weather can cause damage to hoses and priming system. Heathropump is built on a

chassis with 2 largerubber wheels that cancarry up to 400 kg per wheel, this allows the pump to

easily move over rough and uneven surfaces. The pump is designed to move fish up to 400 g

(salmonids). It is not suitable to pump pebbles , debris or sand.

Electrical needs

An electricalexpert must ensure that appropriate power socket correctly connected to thepump

power cable.

3. Explanation of Parts

Heathro Fish pump is made of aluminum and fiberglass

and provides very gentle handling of fish during

transport. The pump is 6 "but can be reduced down to 4",

5 "or 3" with purpose made fish friendly cam lock

reducer kits.

The pump is available in three versions, thestandard

electric which is the most popular version , and also

hydraulic and petrol-driven.

Large handles and rubber wheels alow the pump to

easily move around eneven ground. Camlock quick

couplings are used for simple and safe connection of hoses.

3.1 Pump Body

The Heathropump body shell is made using a specially

moulded form developed with over 20 yearsexperience

in the production of fibre glass fish farming equipment.

Inside the pump body there is an aluminum impellor

which leads fish and water through thepump. The

impellor speed can be be fully controlled as required,

either directlyfrom the main pump control box or by

radio remote control.

3.2 Main Motor

The main 4kW motor drives the impellor with twobelts

located under the pump body .

The motor is controlled by a frequency converter (Altivar

31), making it easy to regulate the pumping speed as

required. Note: If the wiring of the the main power

socket is inverted the internal circuit breaker will trip

cutting the power to the main pump preventing the

motor turning in the wrong direction.

3.3 Priming motor

The Priming motor drives the priming pump that creates

the suction inside the main fish pump before the main

pump is started. This motor is 1.5 kW and has no rotation

protection.

Note: If the wiring of the main power socket is inverted

the priming motormay turn in thewrong direction and

must be recitifed .

3.4 Priming tank

The Priming tank must be filled with water before using

the pump. The water in this tankis used to create

suction in the pumping system.

Only after running the priming pump and when water

startsflowing out the priming sytem outlet can themain

motor/pump can be started. There are two valves to

empty the priming tank and the other to empty the main

pump housing. In freezing temperaturesthe pump may

be damagedif not drained fully after use.

3.5 Priming pump

The priming the pump is connected to the priming motor

by a shaft. On this shaft thereis a coupling that is easy to

replace if necessary (see photo below). The motor is

marked with an arrowshowing which direction it should

turn. It is important to empty the priming pump of water

if there is a danger of frost.

3.6 Control cabinet

The Control unit has seven buttons, switches and lights.

The large red switch at teh bottom of thecabinet is the

main power switch and can only be turned on when the

cabinet door is closed.

There are an on and off button for priming the pump and

also an on and off button for the main pump.

If required it is possible to use the priming pump while

running the main pump. The black button controls the

speed of the main pump and the red light shows if there is

power to the pump or not. The sensitivity of the speed

button can be adjusted as follows:

1Turn off the power at the main switch and open the door of the control cabinet. The door can not

be opened unless the main switch is turned off.

2Turn on thepower in the cabinet by turning the white shaft of the main switch clockwise. There

will now be electric current in components of the cabinet, so avoid contact with any live

components.

3The Altivar 31 has four buttons and a screen. It should now be rdY thescreen. There is an up and a

down button on the left side and esc and ent touch button on the screen.

4Press (Ent) once and "Set" appears on the screen.

5Press (Ent) againand "ACC"(acceleration)will appear on the screen.

6Press (Ent) againand a value will be displayed on the screen. The ACC value is set to 3.0at the

factory. This value indicates the timein seconds for the main the drive to go from 0 to full speed. A

higher ACC value (longer time period to go from 0 to full speed) will make it easier to have fine

speed adjustments.

7 Use the up / down arrowsto adjust to the desired ACC setting. The Factorysetting @ 3.0,

corresponds to 2.4 Hz per press of the remote control.

Increasing to 6.0s reduces every remote button press to1.2Hz steps.

The Altivar 31 cango from 0 to full speed of 50 Hz

8Press (Ent) to save the new value.

9Press (Esc) to return to the"ACC"

10th Press down arrowto scroll to "dEC" (deccelerate)this time setting the timeto go from full

speed to stop.

11th Press enter and the value of dEC will appear on the screen.

12th Adjust to thedesired value. The value of ACC and dEC need not be equal. Ifdesired, one can

have fine adjustemt on the ACC to allow a slower rate of acceparation speed up while a coarse

adjustment on reducing speed.

13th Press (Ent) to save.

14th Press (Esc) button repeatedly until 'rdY "on screen

15th Test thenew setting and adjust if necessary (Section 4-14)

16th When theadjustment is complete the power is turned off by turning the white shaft of themain

3.7 Remote Control

Wireless remotecontrol is optional and highly recommended. With

this you can start and stop the priming pump and the main pump,

and control the speed of the main pump. (see page10 of the

manual)

Inside the control cabinet there is an antennae for wireless

connection tothe handheld remote unit.

The remote must be rechargedwith thebatterycharger supplied.

3.8 Valves

On top of the swan neck there is a valve, this is used torelease the vacum formed on the suction side

of the pump. Ifthe suction hose gets stuck open this valve to get the air into the system and loosing

the vacum and releasing the suction hose.

On the main pump outlet thereis a valve to empty and discharge the water on the outlet relieving

the water pressure before removing the outlet hose from the pump.

3.9 Connections and Reducers

There are different sizes of reducers and connections

with Heathrofish pump. The Camlock system is used for

quick and safe connection of hoses. The standardsize is 6

" and 4" but 5“and3“can also be ordered.The

connections aredesigned and manufacturedso that

there are no sharp edges and thefish has a very gentle

treatment during pumping. Ensure that the rubber gasket

is in place so no air is sucked to the suction side.

4. Use of Heathro Fish Pump

Heathrofish pump is available in three versions, electric, gasand hydraulic.

4.1 Electric model

Before you start the fish pump.

1 Make sure the main motor and priming motor is turned off.

2 Fill priming tank with water until it is full.

3 Ensure control cabinet is closed and turn on the main switch.

4 Check themain light illuminates on the control cabinet.

5 Make sure the valve on top of the swan neck is closed.

6 Make sure the valves and lid of the priming tankis closed

START THE PRIMING PUMP

1 Check the light on the control cabinet for priming the pump is on.

2 Check the priming pump turns in the right direction. See arrows on the pump. (If priming pump is

turning in the wrong direction, the wiring must be corercted.

3 Run the priming pump until water flows out of the priming tankoutlet

hose.

NOW TURN ON THE MAIN PUMP

AND TURN OFF PRIMING PUMP

1 Check thelights on the control cabinet for the main pump is on.

2 Make sure the belts arenot slipping.

3 Run the engine up to the desired speed.

4 If the pump sucks airand is shuddering then turn on the priming pump

and let the priming pump run while the main pump is also running. The

pump will shake if thereis air in the system, and in this case use the

priming pump.

5 For optimal use, it is very important that the pump does not suck air

and shake so carefully check all connections and hoses on the suction

side to detect and fix any leaks.
