III. Safety Considerations

NOTE: 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 uid 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 pump’s liquid end materials of construction. A chemical resistance chart is available for

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

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 (50o    󰀨         

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

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.

NOTE: When cutting lengths of tubing for your installation, ensure a clean, square

cut. Use short lengths of tubing and as few connections as possible.

4. 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.

The pump head must be kept in a vertical position for proper operation. The head can

be removed and rotated 90oif needed to keep the inlet and outlet valves in a vertical

position.

6. 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.

Do not over tighten bleed valve. Damage may occur.

3. To prime the Advantage A pump, simply press the ENTER key while the pump

is in Run mode. This allows the pump to stroke at the maximum STROKES/MIN

setting.

F. Adjusting Feed Rate

The A pump allows for an exact number of strokes to be set and read on the front panel

LCD meter. It is adjustable from 0 to 125 strokes per minute (0 to 160 for 55 GPD).

In addition, for applications requiring very low outputs the speed can be set in strokes per

hour from 1 to 125.

G. 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.

Always start adjusting your pump’s output down by reducing the pump’s stroking speed or

frequency. By leaving the stroke length as long as possible you decrease any chance of

loosing prime.

H. Calculating Output

A pump’s 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 pump’s speed setting (strokes per minute) you can calculate your

pump’s output at it’s 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 pump’s output again. If the example pump above

had it’s 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 pump’s rating can

increase the output.

VI. Control Options

A. Standard Control (Basic A Pump) - See Menu Map on Page 10

Pumps continuously with speed and length adjustments.

B. 4-20mA Input (Option M) - See Menu Map on Page 12

Option M allows the pump to accept a 4-20mA signal input to control the pump’s stroking

rate or speed from an external control device. The pump can be programmed for number

of strokes per minute at two milli-amps points on a 4-20 scale. The maximum setting is 125

strokes per minute.

C. Selectable Timers

1. Recycle Timer - See Menu Map on Page 11

The recycle timer allows the pump to run based on set cycle times. The on time is adjustable

2. Pulse Timer and Flowmeter Input - See Menu Map on Page 11

Pulse timer allows the pump to run based on signals from an external dry contact switch closure.

Incoming pulse rate must not exceed 1,800 pulses per minute. There are four selections for a

pump with this option selectable on the MENU page EXT= which is short for external. Press 

to select the desired external pulse function from the selections below. Press the ENTER key

to set the desired pulse function.

The pump will store strokes (a maximum of 65,000 divided by the set multiply factor) to be

made if contacts come in faster than the pumps stroking. If the stored number of strokes

exceeds the maximum any additional strokes are lost.

3. Biocide or Event Timer - See Menu Map on Page 11

Biocide or event timers allow the pump to feed chemical based on a 28-day timer for the daily,

weekly, or monthly addition of chemicals. The unit has four programmable timers labeled P1,

P2, P3, and P4.

hours and 59 minutes. Ex. An on time of 15 minutes and an off time of 15 minutes will cycle

the pump on 15 minutes and off 15 minutes repeatedly.

on dividing each in coming pulse. For example, if the pump is told to divide by five it will

count five incoming external pulses and then stroke one time.

The pump will store strokes (a maximum of 65,000 divided by the set multiply factor) to be
