About this manual

The Grundfos CU 301 controls pump speed to keep water pressure constant. It receives pressure sensor signals and communicates with the pump via mains‑borne signalling, eliminating extra wiring.

The guide covers system sizing, sensor placement, pre‑charge pressure, alarm handling, LED and fuse locations, wiring diagrams, and detailed technical specifications such as supply voltage, power consumption and environmental limits.
