II. Unpacking

The MicroTron™ Model RT 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:

1. Model RT pump/controller 4. Injection tting

2. Suction, discharge and bleed tubing 5. Instruction manual

3. Foot valve and weight 6. A two wire cable

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

determining specic 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 specic instructions regarding

the chemical being used.

IV. Installation

A. Mounting

The standard Model RT is prewired for easy installation. Select a secure mounting

location convenient to electrical and plumbing connections that is accessible by the

operator. Do not install the pump in a location where the ambient temperature

exceeds 120°F (50°C). The pump is suitable for most outdoor installations, shielding from

direct exposure to the elements is recommended. The properties of solutions to be

metered should also be considered concerning temperature changes and effects to poly tubing.

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. Pump is supplied without a country

specic plug unless otherwise specied.

CAUTION: Never remove ground wire from plug!

3. Control relay output voltage is equal to incoming line voltage with a 5 amp fuse.

Notes: 1. An isolated circuit breaker with a true earth ground is highly

recommended to insure uninterrupeted operation.

2. Low voltage signal wire (water meter signal or probe wire) should

never be run in conduit with high voltage wire above 30 VAC.

C. Chemical Injection Plumbing

1. Piping Connections

The MicroTron™ pump uses carefully matched components to achieve a predictable

metering output. This predictability can only be maintained if all tting 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.

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.

2. Tubing Nuts

Do not overtighten the tubing connectors. Tighten the ttings no more than 1/4 turn

after the tting contacts the seal. Hand tighten only. Do not use a wrench or pliers

as they may damage the ttings. Do not use Teon tape except on NPT ttings. Be

sure to observe applicable local plumbing codes.

WARNING: Clear exible tubing is not intended for pressurized use.

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.

Suction lift Flooded Suction Not recommended

5. 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.

6. Injection valve installation

The injection valve is designed to prevent a back ow 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 Teon tape on this tting only. Connect the pump’s discharge tubing to

the opposite end of the injector. Do not use Teon tape or joint compound on this

tting. Connect tubing between this tting and the pump discharge tting at the pump

head.

NOTE: When installation is made into a line with zero pressure or when pumping into an

open vessel, use our three-function valve to prevent syphoning.

7. Optional Three Function Valve.

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 uid injection point. Its Teon 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 uid.

8. Priming/bleed 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 congurations 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 uid level.

POWER PULSE

Press ENTER to test

Press MENU to access settings

ENTER

All Model R pumps come with the following standard panel

features:

• 1x16-backlit LCD display

• On/Off power indicator light

• Pulse or Stroke indicator light

• Up and Down arrow keys for setting

adjustments

• MENU key to enter and exit pump set-up

• ENTER key to save desired adjustments

B. Run Mode Explanation

The readout will display one of two modes, Run mode and Set-up mode. Run mode is

displayed only while the pump is in normal operation. The display will show the pump speed

setting.

Manual activation of the relay output and pump stroking can be activated by pressing the

ENTER key while the pump is in the run mode. This will manually activate both functions of

the unit for 3 minutes. After three minutes the unit goes back to automatic.

If the ENTER key is pressed during the 3 minute test, it will revert to automatic.

C. Set Up Mode Explanation

To enter Set-up mode, press MENU. Notice that a cursor appears on the screen signifying that

an adjustment can be made. To change the gure above the cursor press the UP or DOWN

keys until the desired setting appears, then press ENTER to advance. Continue pressing

ENTER to toggle past the other displays. When all settings are made, press MENU to return

to run mode, and save settings.

See Menu Map on Page 11.

D. Priming the Pump

1. Settings

Plug in pump, set stroke knob to 100%.

2. Priming/Bleed valve

If uid begins moving up suction line while pump is operating, no further

priming is required. If uid is not moving, open bleed valve approximately one

turn until uid begins to move. When suction line lls, close bleed valve. Do not

over tighten bleed valve. Damage may occur.

3. To prime the Advantage R 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.

E. Stroking Speed or Frequency

The R 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.

F. 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.

G. 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. Feed Timer Options

Model RT pumps have the following selectable feed timer options.

A. Dual Biocide Timer

Model RT units have two 28-day event timers. Program 1 timer activates the pump to feed.

Program 2 timer activates the relay output.

See Menu Map on Page 11

B. Dual Percent Timer

Model RT units have two percent timers settable for 1-100% of a 5-30 minute repeating cycle.

Timer one controls the pump feed and timer two controls the relay output. These timers are

sequential in operation. Timer one will complete its cycle, then timer two follows.

See Menu Map on Page 11

C. Dual Water Meter Pulse Timer

Model RT units have two timers that can accept pulse from a single contacting head water

meter. Each timer can accumulate 1-100 contacts to activate the feed timer. Each timer can

be set from 0 seconds to 30 minutes and 59 seconds.

Timer one controls the pump feed and timer two controls the relay output.

NOTE: Model RT units come with a two wire cable connected to the pump for

connecting to a contacting head water meter in the make-up water line.
