Smart Stream XJm81CE 0.8 HP Automatic Jet Water Pump with 110V Voltage Surge Protector

Improve water flow and pressure around your home or property with the Smart Stream XJm81CE 0.8 HP Automatic Jet Water Pump. This complete package includes a 110V voltage surge protector to provide added electrical protection for the pump.

Designed for household water supply, tank-fed systems, pipeline pressurization, garden watering and irrigation, the pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 50 litres per minute, a maximum head of 42 metres and a maximum suction lift of 9 metres.

The attached Smart Stream PS-04A automatic pump controller starts the pump when water demand is detected, such as when a tap is opened, and stops it when the tap is closed. This gives you convenient, on-demand water pressure without having to switch the pump on and off manually.

The automatic controller features Power On, Pump On and Failure indicator lights, along with a manual Reset button. The motor is rated for continuous duty and is thermally protected to help prevent damage caused by overheating during abnormal operation.

Included 110V Voltage Surge Protector

A separate 110V voltage surge protector is included with the pump. It is designed to help protect the pump’s electrical system by monitoring the incoming voltage before supplying power to the unit.

The protector includes indicator lights for:

• Normal voltage
• Waiting cycle
• Overvoltage
• Undervoltage

The built-in waiting cycle delays the restoration of power after an interruption or unacceptable voltage condition. This gives the electrical supply time to stabilize before the pump receives power again.

The voltage protector also includes:

• Grounded 110V outlet
• On/off rocker switch
• Clear status indicators
• Plug-in design for convenient connection

The surge protector provides an additional layer of protection, but the pump must still be properly grounded and connected to a correctly rated electrical circuit with suitable circuit and earth-leakage protection.

Automatic Operation

Once the pump has been correctly installed, filled with clean water and properly primed, the automatic controller monitors water demand.

Opening a tap causes a change in system pressure, prompting the pump to start automatically. When the tap is closed and water demand ends, the controller stops the pump automatically.

If the controller detects an abnormal condition, the Failure indicator may illuminate. After correcting the cause of the fault, the Reset button can be used to restart the system.

The pump must never be operated without water.

How to Use the Included Voltage Protector

• Ensure the pump and electrical circuit have been professionally installed.
• Plug the voltage protector into a properly grounded 110V outlet.
• Plug the pump into the grounded outlet on the protector.
• Switch the protector on.
• Observe the indicator lights before operating the pump.
• If the protector indicates overvoltage or undervoltage, allow it to interrupt power and do not bypass the protection.
• Following an interruption, wait for the waiting cycle to finish before the protector restores power.

The exact electrical installation should be checked by a qualified electrician.
