Is the device powered on (green LED on) ?
YES
NO
- Check power supply cable and plug
- Check incoming voltage
- Check electronic board for possible damages (if necessary replace the board
following the procedure
)
Which is the problem ?
The pump doesn’t start!
The pump doesn’t stop!

Pump doesn’t start: does the device show a FAILURE
(red LED on) ?
YES
NO
Pump doesn’t start and FAILURE light is ON:
- Starting pressure is set too high. Carry-out pressure adjustment
- Check the motor of the pump for possible failures (i.e. starting capacitor,
locked rotor, thermal protection, etc.)
- Check the cable between Brio and the pump
- If a float switch has been installed between the Brio and the pump
please remove it.
- If the device is installed on a submersible pump and the problem appears
when the system is inactive for several hours, arrange a small bypass
- Check electronic board for possible damages (if necessary replace the board
following the procedure
)
Pump doesn’t start and FAILURE light is OFF:
- Starting pressure is set too low. Carry-out pressure adjustment
- If a non return valve has been installed directly before or directly
after the Brio, please remove it. Check this example.
- Check electronic board for possible damages (if necessary replace the
board following the procedure
)
INSTALLATION OF NON-RETURN VALVES
1) Never install a non return-valve between the
pump and the Brio.
2) Never install a non return valve at the outlet of
Brio.
3) When the Brio is installed with a submersible pump, it’s
allowed to install a non return valve at a distance > 3mt from
the Brio.
ADJUSTING STARTING PRESSURE
The cut-in pressure must be adjusted according to the
height of the water column at the exit of Brio.
Each 1 mt. of water column of water corresponds to
0.1 Bar. The factory setting is 1.5 Bar and allows the
Brio to operate up to 15 mt.
To make an optimal setting of the starting pressure:
1) unscrew completely the setting screw ( “-” direction)
2) open the highest tap on the system and wait for
complete water discharge (pump should not start)
3) turn the screw progressively clockwise ( “+” ) until
the pump will start.
4) turn the setting screw clockwise (“+”) for 2-3
turns more to grant a constant functioning along the
time.
CREATING A BY-PASS
When the Brio is installed on a submersible pump and
the non return valve incorporated on the pump has a
leakage and cannot grant a perfect seal, it can happen
that the pipe between the pump and the Brio gets empty
during long periods of inactivity (i.e. during the night).
When the pump is re-started, the user can get an error
for “dry running” because the water needs to much time to be
lifted from the ground.
The problem can be solved by installing a small by-pass
(max.Ø 6.0mm) over the Brio in order to grant communication
between the pipes before and after the Brio. In case of
leakages from the non-return valve incorporated on the
pump, the pressure drop will be detected by the Brio that will
automatically re-start the pump and will keep the pipe full
of water.
REPLACING THE ELECTRONIC BOARD
Open the unit cover, unplug the electrical cables and remove the electric
board internal protection cover by means of the 2 fastening screws.
Unplug the pressure switch connector and remove the
electronic board releasing the fastening screws.
Place the new electronic board and fasten it by means of
the two proper screws, then plug again the pressure switch
connector.
Put on back the board protection cover and the RESET
button extension. Connect again the electric cables and
close the unit cover.
VERY IMPORTANT !! CARRY OUT FLOW SENSOR
CALIBRATION!
FLOW SENSOR CALIBRATION
Keep the RESET button pressed and reconnect the power supply. When
the green and red light are both on, release the RESET button.
Make sure the check valve is closed (absence of flow) and
press the RESET button in order to automatically reset the
flow sensor to zero.
Check the device correct functioning closing all the taps
and waiting the pump stop. If this does not happen, then
repeat again previous steps.
Pump doesn’t stop
- Flow sensor is not calibrated. Carry out automatic calibration.
- The check-valve is dirty or is stuck. Please clean it!
- There’s a serious leakage somewhere in the system, please check.
- If a non return valve has been installed directly before or directly
after the Brio please remove it. Check this example
- Please check if the RESET button is stuck.
- Check electronic board for possible damages (if necessary replace the board
following the procedure
)
Other conditions:
1) THE PUMP CONTINUOUSLY STOPS AND IMMEDIATELY RE-STARTS
or
2) SOMETIMES THE PUMP STARTS EVEN IN ABSENCE OF WATER CONSUMPTION:
- check for possible leakages in the system.
- install a small pressure tank after the Brio
CLEANING THE CHECK VALVE
If there’s some dirt inside the inlet hub
and the check-valve cannot close
completely, it could happen that the pump
doesn’t stop. In that case the check-valve
can be cleaned by means of the following
actions:
1) Try to move the check valve with a finger, push and release the
valve in order to remove stones or similar objects.
2) Try to clean the valve using compressed air, from the
inlet to the outlet.
3) If the previous actions don’t solve the problem, proceed with disassembling
the check-valve.
DISASSEMBLING CHECK VALVE
The check-valve can be fully inspected by removing the inlet
hub. The inlet hub can be unscrewed taking care do not damage
the plastic parts of Brio.
MAGNET
When re-assembling the check-valve and the inlet hub, take
care of the correct alignment of the magnet.
The magnet must be displaced toward the electronic board.
