Rixen's run quiet coolant pump.
Overall Function
The pump is a wet rotor circulator, built according to the spherical motor principle. It is powered by an electronically commutated permanent magnet drive (EC-motor), operated by 12VDC.
Performance
The pump operates according to the graphs shown below. Two speeds can be selected by attaching the white PWM signal wire either to the positive or to the negative pole of the power source:
Speed 1 (3.400 rpm, 75% Flow Rate): Attach the white PWM wire to the positive pole (as the red wire).
Speed 2 (4.400 rpm, 100& Flow Rate): Attach the white PWM wire to the negative pole (as the brown wire).
Technical Data
The following technical data apply to the pump:

Max. Power consumption: 28 W (see Q/P graph, fig. 2)
Compressive strength: PN6 (6 bar / 87.0 psi)
Speed range: 3.400 or 4.400 rpm
Safety class: IP 56
Pump housing: Noryl
Seal pump housing: EPDM 70
Motor housing: Ultramid
Motor nut: Noryl
Rotor can: Stainless Steel 1.4404
Electrical Connection
A power cable is factory fitted to the pump. The cable resists a temperature of 105°C.
Cable type: 3x1mm2, UL approved.
Cable length: 700mm
The cable ends are stripped and unprepared (without cable end sleeves).
Lead colors are red (+), brown (-) and white (PWM-signal).
The pump is protected by an in-built 3.15 A time lag fuse!
Pump Protection
INFO! The pump feature dry run protection is deactivated! The pump will not stop
running even if used in plain air. However, the pipe system should be bled completely
in order to prevent pump damages.
INFO! The pump is equipped with blocking protection. If commutation gets lost (e.g. due to blocking of rotor) the pump switches off automatically, starts again, eventually switches off again and so forth.
INFO! Speed limitation at low temperatures: At a medium temperature <10° C (cold system) the pump runs at a limited speed of 2.300 rpm in order to maintain circulation. If the medium temperature rises to over 10° C the pump works in the usual way according to the speed set.
INFO! The pump is equipped with overheating protection. If 125° C is exceeded in the motor, the pump will switch completely off. It switches on again, when the temperature falls below 105°C.
Operational Conditions
On site ambient temperature: -20°C ... +50°C
Temperature of medium: -20°C ... +90°C*
*Above 85°C the motor will reduce its speed so that overheating is avoided, whereas heat flow through circulation is still given. If the temperature reaches the standard range again, the pump will operate in the original way according to the speed set.
