Introduction

The MegaTronSS microprocessor based controllers are designed to provide a wide range of control functions for recirculating water treatment systems. The controller is programmed through a front panel keypad and can be configured to provide a customized control system for your application. Your particular units functions can be determined by comparing the units model number to the Model Numbering table listed below.

Model Numbering
MegaTronSS units have several base system control functions and unit optional features. Your unit may be supplied with one or more of the features described in this manual. To determine what features apply to your unit check the model number label located on the controller enclosure. Base System Control Functions C - Tower Conductivity Control B - Boiler / Condensate Conductivity B1- Boiler RTD Conductivity Control B2- Boiler No Temp Conductivity P - pH Control Q - Dual pH Control R - ORP Control F1 to F5- Chemical Feed Timers E - Flow Switch Whole Unit Optional Features A - Conduit Connections D - Dry Contact Relays H1- Internet Connect Communications H4- Internet Phone Modem Communications H5- Internet with Cell Modem Router N1-2 - 4-20mA inputs O1-3 - 4-20mA outputs S - Saturation Index (must have pH) W3 - Auxiliary Flow Meter Inputs Y - ETL Agency Listing / Approvals

Model numbers start SS followed by the System Control functions. A dash separates the whole unit options listed after all base system control functions. Example: SSCPF3E-N2. Notice: Your unit may not have all features and functions described in this manual. This list represents our most popular options, additional option codes are available.

Description of Unit
MegaTronSS controllers control a single recirculating water system including cooling tower and boiler applications and may have various features depending on the model number.

Control Functions
Each of these control functions are based on an analog input from a probe and will include user settable relay control settings along with a High and Low Alarm setting and Limit Timer. Each control function will include a control relay output. When the reading reaches the Set Point the control relay is activated until the reading changes by the Differential amount. 1. System Conductivity - The conductivity function of the controller is designed to monitor and control Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in a recirculating system like a cooling tower or boiler in terms of electrical conductivity measured in MicroSiemens/cm. This control function is also referred to as Bleed. pH - The pH function monitors and controls pH on a scale of 0-14 pH units. ORP - The ORP function monitors and controls ORP on a scale of +/- 1000 mV.

2. 3.

Chemical Feed Timers

Chemical feed timers are designed to automate the addition of various chemicals by activating a relay output. Multiple timers can be supplied depending upon the model number and each timer will include a relay output. All timers can be programmed to be one of the following types. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Pulse Time - Accepts pulses from a make-up water meter (supplied separately). It can accumulate 1-9999 gallons before activating the timer to run. Feed with Bleed - Activates the relay output simultaneously with the bleed and limits the amount of time the relay output will be on during the bleed cycle. Feed after Bleed - Activates the relay output based on a user defined percentage of time based on the bleed off, another timer or digital input. The relay is activated after a bleed cycle and runs for the set percentage of that bleed cycle. Percentage - The relay is on for a percentage of a continuously repeating cycle time that can be set from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes. 28 Day - The timer is based on a 28 day cycle with four independent programmable feed cycles with prebleed and bleed lockout settings.

Installation

Electrical Wiring
The MegaTron SS controller has an internal regulated fused power supply that will operate off of 90 to 250 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz on the incoming wiring. Each output relay is individually protected with a replaceable fuse. Relay outputs will equal incoming line voltage. WARNINGS: 1. The controller should be connected to its own isolated circuit breaker, and for best results, the ground should be a true earth ground, not shared. Wiring must be done according to all applicable local codes. 2. Power (line voltage) must be disconnected while making any connections. If power is supplied to the unit, line voltage will be present on the relay cards located in the lower section of the enclosure, even with the power (ON/OFF) switch off. 3. Low voltage signal wires (probes, flow switch, water meter, etc.) should never be run in conduit with high voltage (like 115VAC) wires.

NOTE: Liquid tight fittings and some labeled signal leads are provided for all signal (low voltage) connections for both pre-wired and conduit units.

Pre-Wired
Pre-wired units are supplied with a 16 AWG cable(s) with 3-wire grounded USA 115 volt plug for incoming power and 3-wire grounded receptacle cords for all control relay outputs also 16 AWG.

Conduit
Conduit units are predrilled at the factory and supplied with conduit knockouts for easy hard wiring to supplied detachable connectors on the relay card(s) located in the lower section of the controller. Remove the screws of the lower panel for access. NOTES: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Do not drill holes in upper section of enclosure. All relays provide a N.O. and N.C. output. The control function that activates each relay output is pre-configured at the factory based on the options selected. To change relay activation see on page 24. See page 30 for common bleed / blowdown valve wiring.

4-20mA Output Card Wiring

A. Isolated Configuration For isolated 4-20mA outputs an external power source for the loop must be supplied. JP1 and JP2 on the board must not be jumpered when an external power source is being supplied. The external power source must not exceed 24 volts DC and will connect onto the card on connector J1 on the postion marked Loop Supply. B. Non-isolated Configuration For non-isolated 4-20mA outputs the controller will supply the power for the loop. JP1 and JP2 must be jumpered and no connections are made to the Loop Supply points. Note: If multiple outputs are being connected to a single energy management system the negatives or commons MUST remain isolated from each other.

4-20mA Input Card Wiring

The 4-20mA input card requires that the external device sending the 4-20mA input signal(s) supply the power for the loop. The external power source must not exceed 24 volts DC.

Mounting Instructions
Select a mounting location that provides the operator easy access to the unit and a clear view of the controls through the cover of the controller. The location should be convenient to grounded electrical connections, the needed sample line plumbing and is on a stable vertical surface. WARNING: Avoid locations that expose the controller to direct sunlight, vapors, vibration, liquid spills or extreme temperatures; less than 0F (-17.8C) or greater than 120F (50C). EMI (electromagnetic interference) from radio transmissions and electric motors can also cause damage or interference and should be avoided.

Electrode Installation
MegaTronSS controllers may come configured for various circulating water systems. Listed below are instructions for cooling tower and boiler typical installations. Your specific installation requirements may differ but should conform to these instructions as much as possible for proper operation. A. Cooling Tower

The standard probe(s) and/or flow assembly for cooling tower installations is constructed of schedule 80 PVC and supplied with 3/4 slip fittings for installing into a sample line. To insure proper operation the sample line must have a flow rate of 3-10 gpm. Inlet pressure must be higher than outlet pressure in order for water to flow past the electrode(s) to achieve the required rate. The probes are temperature compensated for increased accuracy. NOTES: 1. 2. 3. 4. Install an isolation valve on either side of the flow assembly so electrodes can be easily isolated for removal and cleaning. A line strainer is recommended upstream from the probes to protect against fouling and damage. Mount pH electrodes vertically. Systems with a flow switch require 2-3 gpm flow rate to operate outputs.

WARNINGS: 1. Electrodes are O-ring sealed, which if damaged will cause a leak. 2. Do not allow pH sensor tips to dry out, damage will occur. 3. Do not exceed a water temperature range of 32F to 140F. 4. Do not exceed a maximum pressure of 150 psi.

Boiler

Standard boiler electrodes have a MNPT stainless steel bushing and are supplied with a FNPT cross designed for mounting in the skimmer (surface) blowdown line. Sampling of the boilers water can be achieved using one of two typical plumbing configurations (continuous sampling or timed and/or hold sampling). For a successful installation, it is critical to observe the recommended distances and pipe sizes provided in the installation drawings. The probes are temperature compensated for increased accuracy. For best results, the electrode cross should be mounted in a 1skimmer blowdown line within 4 of the boiler. Smaller line sizes and greater distances may affect the response time and accuracy of the electrode. A flow-throttling device down stream from the probe (within 12-24 inches) is required to ensure that the electrode is exposed to water and not steam. Properly installed and adjusted, this device will prevent flashing in the electrode chamber. NOTES: 1. 2. 3. Install a fully ported type valve between the electrode and the boiler. This allows the electrode to be isolated for removal and cleaning. A flushing line and 1/4 turn type ball valve should be installed in the bottom of the cross to periodically flush sediment from the electrode chamber. Make sure the alignment arrows on the probe end up parallel to the flow for best performance.

WARNINGS: 1. The probe must be fully immersed in the system water to read correctly. Steam flashing will result in incorrect readings. 2. Do not exceed a maximum water temperature of 436F (224C) 3. Do not exceed a maximum pressure of 350 psi (24.1 bar) 4. A throttling device must be installed down stream from the elecrode.

IV. System Operation Overview

Operation
MegaTronSS controllers have two modes of operation, RUN and SET-UP.

RUN - This mode is for normal operation. In the RUN mode the display will show each systems parameters.
If an alarm is present the ALARM box will flash how many alarms are present. No settings may be entered or changed in the RUN mode. Readings are updated every 6 seconds on the screen while in the RUN mode.

SET-UP - This mode is used to make adjustments to settings and readings on the controller. To access the
SET UP mode from the RUN screen, press the SETUP/RUN key.

Typical Start Up Instruction

Complete all installation steps before beginning this procedure. Ensure that all controlled devices (pumps, solenoid valves, etc.) are operational and connected to the controller. Open the isolation valves to allow water to pass through the sample stream assembly. Before beginning the start up procedure, familiarize yourself with the programming and operation of the system by reviewing the menus available. Use the keys of the controller to skim through all your options. A. Calibration

All MegaTronSS controllers are factory calibrated for temperature, conductivity, pH and ORP. All units are shipped with the date preset, and the clock set to your current time. These readings and settings should be verified for accuracy, and adjusted as per the instructions listed below. 1. Conductivity - To calibrate the conductivity reading, remove the electrode from the line and wipe the flat surface with a clean cloth. Re-install the electrode and open the isolation valves to allow a sample across the probe. Be sure to allow the reading to stabilize for one minute. Select SYSTEM COND from the CALIBRATION menu. Then key in the corrected conductivity value. Press ENTER to log in that reading. 2. pH - Under normal operating conditions, pH calibration is achieved using the following steps. From the CALIBRATION menu, select SYSTEM PH. Enter the correct pH value. Press ENTER to log in the new reading. 3. ORP - To calibrate ORP, from the CALIBRATION menu select SYSTEM ORP. Compare the displayed reading to the actual system ORP. If these readings do not match, key in the correct ORP value, and push ENTER. There are limits to how much the calibration can be adjusted. The instrument will only accept new conductivity values which are from 1/3 to 8x the present reading. Any entry outside this range will cause a default to the original reading. If this happens, call 1-800-743-7431 for technical assistance.

V. Menu Navigation
To access the menus press the Set Up / Run key on the front panel. This takes you to the Home menu. MegaTronSS controllers menus are easily navigated by pressing the associated number key next to a menu box on the screen. Once you have stepped through the sub menus to reach a point at which a value or selection is made a Pop-up window will appear prompting you to enter a desired value or selection. NOTE: When entering new numeric values, enter all available digits (characters). 1. Home Menu

2. Set Points The same basic format is used for defining each available analog probe inputs control parameters. Boiler conductivity systems will also have an additional menu step for programming the sampling method desired from continuous, timed or sample and hold.

>SYSTEM 1 SET POINTS< SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM COND TEMP pH ORP mA OUT mA IN AUX INPUTS

SET POINTS - For setting the relay set points for the available analog probe readings such as conductivity, pH, ORP or temperature.

NOTE: In the Setpoint pop-up screen the direction (Rising or Falling) of the setpoint can also be set. Rising setpoints will activate the control relay when the particular probe reading rises above the setpoint and will stay activated until the reading comes down by the amount of the differential. If set for Falling the relay is activated when the probe reading falls below the setpoint and stays on until the probe reading comes back up by the amount of the differential.

Set Point Options

>SYSTEM 1 COND SETPOINT< SET POINT DIFFERENTIAL HIGH ALARM LOW ALARM LIMIT TIME

SET POINT - What reading turns the relay on DIFFERENTIAL - Amount reading changes by before the relay is turned off HIGH ALARM - What reading generates a High alarm notification. LOW ALARM - What reading generates a Low alarm notification. LIMIT TIMER - What amount of continuous bleeding will generate a time alarm notice.

Note: Each alarm value can also be set-up to be displayed or not on the front screen as will as remotely notified or not if connected to the Web Advantage server. 2.2 pH and ORP The pH and ORP set point settings follow the same format as shown above in section 2.1.

>SYSTEM 1 pH SETPOINT< SET POINT DIFFERENTIAL HIGH ALARM LOW ALARM LIMIT TIME INTERRUPT SET POINT 2

INTERRUPT - Only applies to pH settings and allows the Interruption of pH control during bleed, other chemical feed or both. SET POINT 2 - Is only present on systems with Dual pH control option. It is a second set point for applications when an acid and caustic are required

Note: When the Limit Time value is met it will force off the control relay being driven by pH or ORP. To reset the limit timer and get the control relay active again enter a new Limit Timer value.

15

2.3

Boiler Conductivity

Conductivity on boiler systems can be configured for Timed Sampling, Sample and Hold or Continuous for the conductivity sampling method. Timed sampling incorporates a sample timer which allows the boiler to be sampled at periodic intervals. Sample intervals are adjustable from 1 minute to 99 hours, 59 min. Sample duration (on-time) is adjustable from 1 second to 99 minutes, 59 seconds. Sample and hold uses a sample timer for periodic sampling intervals. The unit will sample for its duration then hold the blowdown valve closed for a settable period (hold time). The conductivity is checked at the end of the hold period, if additional blowdown is required the blowdown valve is held open for a preset amount of time (blowdown time). Then sample cycle is repeated. Continuous sample has a sample of boiler or condensate water go past the probe continuously. If the reading is above the set point, blowdown will continue until the set point has been satisfied.

>SYSTEM 1 COND SETPOINT< SET POINT DIFFERENTIAL HIGH ALARM LOW ALARM SAMPLE INT SAMPLE DUR HOLD TIME BLOWDOWN

SET POINT - What reading turns the relay on DIFFERENTIAL - Amount reading changes by before the relay is turned off HIGH ALARM - What reading generates a High alarm notification. LOW ALARM - What reading generates a Low alarm notification. SAMPLE INT - Period between samples. SAMPLE DUR - How long a sample lasts. HOLD TIME - How long a hold lasts. BLOWDOWN - How long to blowdown if reading is above the set point after the hold. Hold repeated after BLOWDOWN time.

2.4

Aux Inputs

Auxiliary inputs are the digital inputs for optional Flow Switch and other digital inputs such as low drum level alarms. From these menus the user can set if they want each of the alarms Displayed, Remote Notification, both or none.

Calibration

Calibration is for adjusting the displayed value of a probes reading to match your tester or known solution. Pick the system or mA input first. From a particular system pick the probe to calibrate.

>SYSTEM 1 CALIBRATION< SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM COND TEMP pH ORP

CALIBRATION - For adjusting the actual reading values of the available analog probe inputs, such as conductivity, pH, ORP or temperature.

3.1

Conductivity Calibration

>SYSTEM 1 COND CALIBRATION< CALIBRATE RESET ZERO Cal Factor 1.10

CALIBRATE - With a clean probe on-line seeing the systems water enter the known (tested from a calibrated hand held tester) value. RESET ZERO - With the probe out of solution and dry enter a new zero point. Note: Probe must be dry!

NOTE: In the calibration pop-up window the raw analog to digital (A/D) value will be displayed. A new calibration value should only be entered when the probe is sensing a stable A/D value. If the system is a boiler the associated relay can be forced on in the pop-up to allow for a fresh hot sample. Boiler probes should have fresh hot water blown past them for a minimum of 2 minutes before calibrating.The A/D reading has a range of 0 to 32,767. If it is at one end of the range or the other when trying to calibrate something is wrong with the probe or wire run.

17

3.2

pH and ORP Calibration

>SYSTEM 1 pH CALIBRATION< 1 POINT CAL 2 POINT CAL

1 POINT - With a clean probe on-line seeing the systems water enter the known (tested from a calibrated hand held tester) value. 2 POINT - Enter a known Low value with a clean probe in a buffer solution. Then enter a known High value with the clean probe in a buffer.

Notes: 1. 2. 3.3

Probes must be rinsed between buffers when doing a 2 Point calibration and given at least 30 seconds in solution to adjust to the buffer. There must be at least 2 full pH points between buffer solutions. Using a buffer of 4 and 10 is the best procedure. ORP buffers should be at least 200 points apart.

4-20mA Output Calibration

>CURRENT LOOP CALIBRATION< OUTPUT 1 OUTPUT 2

4-20mA outputs can be calibrated to insure that the output generated by the controller and received by the external device match. With a volt meter connected across the out and return wires (see page 7) of the 4-20mA output channel to be calibrated go into the outputs Low or High calibration.

>mA OUTPUT 1 CALIBRATION< HIGH 4030 LOW 800

The number displayed in the Calibration dialog box can range from 0-4095 with 800 equal to 0 mA output and 4030 equal to 20 mA. This number range of 04095 is the raw digital to analog (D/A) values and is strictly used for a reference. The D / A numbers you get will vary based on your installation conditions.

>mA OUTPUT 1 CALIBRATION< OUTPUT 1 CAL HIGH 4000 Use Up/Down arrows to change Use Enter to save value

While in the High or Low calibration pop-up screen use the up and down arrows to change the output value being read with the volt meter. Adjust the High value for the 20 mA reading and the Low value for the 4 mA value.

18

3.4

4-20mA Input Calibration

4-20mA inputs can be calibrated to insure that the input seen by the controller from the external device match. It also allows for setting the 4-20mA input into a number range that relates to the value being read.

>CURRENT LOOP CALIBRATION< INPUT 1 INPUT 2

Select the Input to be calibrated

>mA INPUT 1 CALIBRATION< 20mA 4mA MAX LOW OFFSET 14500 2900 200 0 DISABLED

>mA INPUT 1 20mA CAL< INPUT 1 CAL HIGH 14500 A/D PUT 20mA ON INPUT THEN PRESS ENTER

The 20mA and 4mA values are where the controllers raw analog to digital value is adjusted to match a 20mA (full scale) and 4mA (bottom of scale) signal from the external device inputting the 4-20mA input. The external device must be connected to the controller and showing either full scale or bottom of scale when calibrating each. The number shown along with either the 20mA or 4mA while calibrating is the raw A/D value and is only a reference. A 20mA input should be around 14500 and 4mA around 2900. If the A/D numbers are not in this range check input device. The MAX and LOW calibration inputs are for telling the controller what to display for a 20mA input and a 4mA input. For example if the input is a drum level sensor monitoring a 55 gallon drum the value for MAX should be 55 and LOW should be 0. The controller then displays a number automatically ranging between 55 and 0 based on the input value. The units of measure (gallons for example) is set in the Customize menu from the Home page. OFFSET - Offsets current displayed value of the 4-20mA input reading to allow for a manual 1pt calibration. 4. Timers

A unit may have up to 5 selectable timers for each system on a controller. All timers are associated with their system, so for a % of post bleed timer looks at the bleed of that system.

VI. Maintenance
The only required maintenance for normal uninterrupted operation of your MegaTronSS controller is cleaning of the electrode(s). After initial start up, it is a good idea to clean the electrode frequently until a schedule based on need has been developed. Since each application is unique, it is difficult to estimate the required frequency of cleaning. The first cleaning should take place after about one week of the system being on line. To determine the required cleaning frequency, record the reading on the controller before the electrode is removed for cleaning. After cleaning, record the new reading. If a change is observed in the two readings, the electrode was dirty. The more significant the change, the dirtier the electrode. If no change occurs, cleaning needs to be done less often. Conductivity Electrode Cleaning Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Record the current conductivity reading. Turn off water flow through the electrode loop, bleed pressure from the line and remove electrode. Use a clean cloth and a mild cleaning solution to remove loose dirt etc., from the flat surface of the electrode. If the electrode has deposits such as scale attached to the electrode surface a more aggressive cleaning approach will be needed. There are several ways to do this, the preferred method being the one that is easiest for the user. a. Use a mild acid solution to dissolve deposits. b. Lay a piece of sandpaper (200 grit or finer) on a flat surface such as a bench top. Sand electrode to remove stubborn deposits. (Do not wipe surface with your finger.) Oil from your skin will foul carbon tips. Reinstall the electrode in the system. After the reading stabilizes, calibrate the unit to a reliable test reading.

Many times an electrode can appear to be clean, but the unit still cannot be calibrated. If this is the case, use one of the more aggressive electrode cleaning procedures listed in step 4 above. Recheck the calibration after completion of this procedure. If no change was observed in the reading, replace the electrode. If a change occurred but the unit still will not calibrate, repeat procedure as many times as necessary. pH and ORP Electrode Cleaning Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove the pH electrode from the system. Spray with water and/or detergent, using a soft brush to dislodge any fouling. Visually inspect the electrode for signs of damage. Calibrate the electrode while it is in a known solution.

Slow response or non-reproducible measurements are signs that the electrode has become coated or clogged. The pH glass is susceptible to mounting by many substances. The speed of response, normally 95% of the reading in less than 10 seconds, is dramatically degraded when the pH glass is coated.

27

To restore the speed of response for a pH electrode, clean the bulb with a high quality detergent, methyl alcohol or other suitable solvent using a Q-tip. Rinse well with distilled water and retest. If the electrode now responds, but erratically, soak the sensor in 0.1 Molar HCl for 5 minutes. Remove and rinse with water and place in 0.1 Molar NaOH for 5 minutes. Remove, rinse again and then place the sensor in pH 4. buffer for 10 minutes before use. ORP/REDOX electrode may be gently abraded by use of 600 grade wet silicone carbide paper, jewelers rouge or very fine steel wool. Try one of the previous cleaning methods first before using this method.

Unpacking
The MicroTron pump has been shipped as a complete package, ready for installation. If the shipping carton shows any signs of damage, notify the shipping company immediately upon receipt. Advantage Controls cannot be held responsible for damage from shipping. Unpack the carton and insure the following items are present: Metering pump Suction, discharge and priming tubing Foot valve and weight 4. 5. Injection fitting Instruction manual

NOTE:

Safety Considerations
All MicroTron pumps are primed with water before leaving the factory. If the solution to be pumped is not compatible with water, disassemble the pump fluid end before use. After disassembly, thoroughly dry the pump head, valves, and seals before pump is reassembled and used.

A. Chemical Compatibility MicroTron metering pumps are designed to work with most liquid chemicals depending upon your pumps liquid end materials of construction. A chemical resistance chart is available for determining specific compatibility with a wide variety of chemicals. If you have further compatibility questions, contact Advantage Controls service department at 1-800-743-7431. B. Safety and Preparation Always wear the proper protective clothing and gear when working around chemicals and chemical metering pumps. Safety glasses, gloves, and aprons are critical in preventing accidental exposure to dangerous chemicals. Liquids under pressure can present a special hazard when a line or seal is punctured resulting in the spraying of chemical many yards away. If a chemical spillage occurs, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific instructions regarding the chemical being used.

IV.

Installation
A. Location Select a mounting location convenient to the chemical supply as well as a source of power for the pump. Do not install the pump in a location where the ambient temperature exceeds 120 degrees F (50oC). Higher temperatures will affect the output as well as the useful life of the pump. While the MicroTron pump is suitable for most outdoor installations, do not use the standard poly tubing in direct sunlight. If you must mount pump in direct sunlight or under bright fluorescent lights use ultra-violet resistant tubing, consult your distributor or the factory. Accessory item R00225 (plastic mounting bracket) is recommend for a secure installation. B. Electrical 1. The Standard MicroTron pump has a voltage regulated internal power supply capable of operating in the range of approximately 95 to 135 VAC. Use a supply voltage of 100 to 120 VAC for best results. The 3-wire grounded plug must be used in a 3-wire wall plug.

2. With a 240 volt option, the MicroTron pump has a voltage regulated internal power supply capable of operating in the range of approximately 195 to 260 VAC. Use a supply voltage of 210 to 250 VAC for best results.

CAUTION: Never remove ground wire from plug!

C. Plumbing 1. Tubing Connections The MicroTron pump uses carefully matched components to achieve a predictable metering output. This predictability can only be maintained if all fitting sizes remain unaltered. Do not attempt to reduce tubing size. All tubing connections should be double checked to insure against leakage. If hazardous chemicals are being pumped, use shielding around discharge tubing. NOTES: 1. Clear flexible tubing is not intended for pressurized use. 2. When cutting lengths of tubing for your installation, ensure a clean, square cut. Use short lengths of tubing and as few connections as possible. 3. There is an approximate 2.5 psi capability lost for ever 1 foot of vertical rise of the discharge tubing to the injection point.

2. Tubing Nuts

Do not overtighten the tubing connectors. Tighten the fittings no more than 1/4 turn after the fitting contacts the seal. Hand tighten only. Do not use a wrench or pliers as they may damage the fittings. Do not use Teflon tape except on NPT fittings. Be sure to observe applicable local plumbing codes. 3. WARNING: Clear flexible tubing is not intended for pressurized use. Tubing Connections

Suction Lift vs Flooded Suction Applications Suction Lift Installation Mount the MicroTron pump around the top of the solution tank, not to exceed 5 feet from pump to bottom of tank. Flooded Suction This installation is recommended for very low outputs, solutions that gasify and/or high viscosity solutions. Priming is easier and loss of prime is reduced. Failure of the pump diaphragm or rupture of the solution tubing can cause loss of solution in the tank.

Wall Mounting The fluid end portion (head assembly) of the pump is set up to accommodate mounting of the pump to the chemical container, either as a flooded suction, or a suction lift. The pump head must be kept in a vertical position for proper operation. The head can be removed and rotated 90o if needed to keep the inlet and outlet valves in a vertical position. Foot valve installation A weight is provided to hold the tubing and foot valve in a vertical position at the bottom of the tank. Do not allow the foot valve to lay horizontally in the chemical container. This defeats the action of the valve and causes the pump to lose prime. Keep suction tubing reasonably short and avoid high spots or bends. Injection valve installation The injection valve is designed to prevent a back flow and to inject chemical into the line. To work properly, this valve must be mounted within 45 degrees of vertical (see drawing). One end of the injection valve is 1/2 MNPT. Install this end into the piping system. Use Teflon tape on this fitting only. Connect the pumps discharge tubing to the opposite end of the injector. Do not use Teflon tape or joint compound on this fitting. Connect tubing between this fitting and the pump discharge fitting at the pump head.

7.

NOTE: When installation is made into a line with zero pressure or when pumping into an open vessel, use the optional three function injection valve which provides back pressure and anti-syphon capabilities.

Optional Three Function Valve. The optional 3-function valve injection assembly provides three functions in one injection valve assembly.

Anti-siphon feature allows metering of liquids down hill or into the suction side of a circulating pump. It provides protection against an accidental application of suction pressure at the fluid injection point. Its Teflon coated diaphragm provides a positive anti-siphon action. Back pressure function permits metering into atmospheric discharge (open container) without overpumping. Line check permits removal of discharge tubing without release of system fluid.

9.

Priming / Degassing Valve Connection Connect the clear poly tubing to the outlet of the bleed or priming valve. Position the free end of this tube in the chemical container. Standard head configurations include a priming valve built into the head. Clear poly tubing should be connected to the outlet of this valve, the other end of the tube should be placed in the chemical container above the fluid level.

V.

Start-Up
A. Priming the pump
Plug in pump, set stroke to 100% and strokes per minute to maximum speed. While pump is operating, if fluid begins moving, no further priming is required. If fluid is not moving, open bleed valve approximately one turn until fluid begins to move. When suction line fills, close bleed valve. Do not over tighten bleed valve. Damage may occur.

B.

Adjusting feed rate

The standard Model B allows for the exact setting of the pumps stroking rate (speed) on the pumps control panel. Standard strokes per minute settings available are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 15 and increase by 5 thereafter up to the maximum of 125 (B-155 models have a max speed of 160 strokes/minutes).

C.

Stroke length

The stroke length can be adjusted on all MicroTron pumps. This adjustment is a mechanical adjustment made using the large knob on the control panel. To avoid damage to the pump, this adjustment should only be made while the pump is running at a high stroking rate.

D.

Calculating Output
A pumps output per minute can be determined by dividing the maximum rated gallons per day by 1440 (minutes per day). For example, a 30 gallons per day (gpd) pump at a maximum stroke length and speed setting of 125 strokes per minute (spm) will pump 0.000167 gallons per stroke (gps). 30 1440 = 0.0208 gpm 125 spm = 0.000167

With this value and the pumps speed setting (strokes per minute) you can calculate your pumps output at its rated pressure. A 30 gpd pump set at 50 strokes per minute: 50spm x .000167gps x 1440 (minutes per day) = 12.02 gallons per day

Reducing the stroke length will reduce the pumps output again. If the example pump above had its stroke length reduced to 50% the 12.02 gallons per day output is reduced to 6.01. (example: 12.02 gpd x 0.50 = 6.01 gpd) A higher product viscosity will reduce the output. Pressures lower than the pumps rating can increase the output.

E.

Optional Features
A pumps output per minute can be determined by dividing the maximum rated gallons per day by 1440 (minutes per day). For example, a 30 gallons per day (gpd) pump at a maximum stroke length and speed setting of 125 strokes per minute (spm) will pump 0.000167 gallons 1. External Pacing The external pacing option allows the speed of the pump to be controlled by an external device like a flow meter that gives dry contact switch closures. The pump sends out a 5 volt D.C. current to read a switch closure. Each time the pump sees the switch closure it strokes once, up to its maximum strokes per minute rate. 2. Hall Effect Meter Pacing This option is like the external pacing only the pump divides the incoming switch closures by 9 before stroking on time. This is a three wire connection: D.C. voltage, signal and ground. 3. External Stop Pumps with this option are allowed to stroke as long as they see a closed condition from a dry contact source like a flow switch or drum level wand. When an open condition is seen the pump is not allowed to stroke.

VI.

Maintenance
The Advantage MicroTron pump is designed for long service life with minimum maintenance. If for any reason, maintenance is necessary or desireable, the MicroTron pump is easily maintained. Before any maintenance or service is performed, observe the following precautions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Disconnect the MicroTron pump from power source. Drain chemical from discharge tubing. Disconnect discharge tubing from pump. If the MicroTron pump is used in a flooded suction application, remove foot valve from chemical container. Observe relevant safety protocols when handling parts which have been in contact with hazardous chemicals.

A. Diaphragm Replacement
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove fluid end cover by lightly prying it loose from the fluid end. Remove the four screws attaching the fluid end to pump body. Remove the fluid end from the pump body. Unscrew the diaphragm from the pump shaft in a counter-clockwise direction. Be careful that diaphragm support ring does not fall out. Do not allow sharp or abrasive objects to come in contact with pump parts.

 6. 7. 8. 9.

Inspect end of shaft to assure that threads are in good condition. Replace shaft bellows if necessary. No further disassembly is recommended. Screw new diaphragm onto pump shaft until it bottoms out on shoulder of shaft. It is not necessary to tighten further. Replace fluid end. Make sure that screws are evenly tightened. Reconnect plumbing and power. Prime the pump.

B. Suction and Discharge Check Valve Replacement

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6 7. 8. 9. Disconnect suction tubing from pump. Unscrew fitting from pump head. Remove check valve from suction fitting and replace. Remove O-ring from cavity in fluid end. Remove check valve from suction side pump and replace. Install new O-ring in cavity of fluid end. Replace valve fitting with check valve in fluid end. Replace fluid end. Make sure that screws are evenly tightened. Reconnect plumbing and power. Prime the pump. Tighten pump head screws after pumps initial week of operation. When installing check valves, remember that the seats are always installed at the bottom.

VII. Trouble Shooting

PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY Straighten suction line so as to eliminate high spots. Inspect foot valve screen and assure that foot valve is in a vertical position below fluid level. Maximum suction lift is 5 feet with water or fluids of similar specific gravity; less with heavier liquids such as acids. Mount pump in a lower position relative to the chemical container. Check fittings. Overtightening may cause restriction. Conversely, if any leakage occurs, pump will suck air and fail to prime. Inspect check valves in fluid end for cleanliness. Clean or replace as necessary. Inspect suction tube through its full length to assure that there are no splits at the connections or other restrictions. Move any objects or equipment which impinges upon suction tube or reroute as required to assure a smooth transition from foot valve to pump. Check fluid level in chemical supply tank. Check operation of stroke limiter knob. If pump delivers too low adjustable rate, check settings. Readjust as required. Inspect, clean or replace as necessary. Check suction line for obstructions, clogging, kinks or pinch points. Clean or replace foot valve screen. Relocate the injector to a lower pressure part of the the system. Replace diaphragm, making sure that it is screwed on fully to shoulder of shaft. Consult dealer or factory. Pump does not achieve Air trapped in suction line or maintain prime Foot valve contaminated or improperly installed Excessive lift

Suction fittings not properly tightened

Worn or contaminated check valves Split or pinch in suction tube

Low chemical level Insufficient fluid Stroke adjustment set too low

Worn or contaminated check valves Obstruction in suction line Clogged foot valve screen Output (system) pressure too high Diaphragm worn or torn Electronic failure

12

Excessive fluid

Failure or lack of antisiphon valve

Inspect or add anti-siphon valve. This is caused when system is in a vacuum condition or valve in delivery applications with flooded suction which feeds systems at very low pressures. Lower the stroke rate if adjustable on your pump. Reduce stroke length. Check system pressure to assure that it is within system rated paramaters of the pressure. Make sure that diaphragm is screwed fully unto shaft. Clean or replace as required. Check outlet with meter to assure that correct or voltage is present and that power supply cord is in good condition and plugged in. Consult dealer or factory. Prime pump. Add an anti-siphon valve to provide 25 PSI restriction on pump discharge.

Excessive stroke rate Improper stroke length Pump will not pump System pressure too high

Diaphragm improperly installed Check valves worn or clogged Pump will not run not Pump not turned on or not plugged in plugged in Electronic failure Excessive noise Pump not primed No output pressure
