Introduction:

The LiterMeter 4 is a programmable pump controller that controls up

to four dosing pumps (12VDC), individually and simultaneously. Ideally,

the pumps will be SpectraPure’s Peristaltic Dosing Pumps, but any small

12VDC pump can be used. A 12VDC/1A power supply is included and is

able to power all four SpectraPure pumps at once.

The LiterMeter 4 (LM4) may be laid flat on a shelf, set on its back, or Velcroed

to a wall or under a shelf. It can be orientated with the wires at the top or

at the bottom of the unit. When the orientation of the LM4 changes and

after a button is pressed, the display will flip so that it is readable, and the

5 buttons operate in the new orientation.

Functions are grouped in pages as “Settings”, “Calibrate”, “System”, and

“Inputs”. All parameters are updated and saved as soon as a button is

pressed. There is no need for an extra “do it” or “save it now” button.

A personal device (PD) such as a smartphone, tablet, PC or Mac may also

be used to control the LM4.

Settings:

Each pump can operate independently in one of several Modes: Off, On,

Daily, Dose, Once, Timer, or Delay.

Calibrate:

Easy-to-Follow Calibration Procedure using included 100 ml. graduated

cylinder.

System:

General settings including Inputs, Networks, and Calibrations.

Four Outputs for Pumps:

Each of four outputs (identified as A, B, C, and D) is connected to a

separate pump. Each pump has full access to all pages, functions, and

inputs. Pumps are connected to the LM4 with male-to-male 3-conductor

cables. SpectraPure can provide cables of various lengths from 3 to 25

feet long. They are heavy-duty and shielded, and are recommended for

proper operation.

Four Inputs for Level Sensors:

All four inputs (labeled as 1, 2, 3, and 4) can connect to a variety of float

switches and water detectors (sensors). Any input can be “assigned” to

control any or all pumps. Sensors are connected to the LM4 with male-

to-male 3-conductor cables. SpectraPure can provide cables of various

lengths from 3 to 25 feet long. They are heavy-duty and shielded, and are

recommended for proper operation.

Wireless Connectivity:

The LM4 has wireless (WiFi–2.4Ghz) connectivity to allow changing

parameters using a PD. After the LM4 connects to a router, it will use an

IP address assigned by the router to send interactive pages to the PD. If a

router is not available, a private network is avalible to provide PD-to-LM4

communication.

Firmware Updates:

Updated firmware (new features and bug fixes) can be downloaded from

our website to your PD and then used to update the firmware in the LM4.

Pairing the LM4 With Your Smart Phone or Personal

Device

Note: Components Needed for Pairing:

• Modem - Provides the Internet Connection

• Router - WiFi Transceiver (transmit/receive data packets)

• SpectraPure LM4 Liter Meter Pump Controller

• Personal Device: Desktop Computer, Laptop, Tablet or Smart Phone.

To allow for convenient local remote control of the LM4, and to capture

real local time, it will be necessary to create a WiFi interface connection

to a Personal Device (PD), which will provide programming and timing

control for the LM4.

Each LM4 has its own unique 4 digit SSID number, which is used to identify

the LM4 while pairing your personal device with and maintaining a local,

router based, WiFi network connection.

When the LM4 is powered on, the first screen will display the firmware

version and the network ID number unique to that LM4 (see example

below) SSID = LM4-6680).

The Following Steps will Guide you through

the Personal Device Pairing: Please note that

the Pairing Window interval is 6 minutes.

(Restart as needed.). Once powered on, the

LM4 will transmit a unique onboard WiFi

signal. Connecting your PD to this signal

will allow you to identify and store your

local router’s network name and SSID as the

connection bridge between your PD and

the specific LM4 you have paired.

Pairing your personal device with your LM4:

First, power on the LM4 and note the unique SSID,

displayed as ID: LM4-XXXX. (Ex: LM4-6680).

1. Next, open the WiFi Settings on your smart phone or other (personal

device) PD.

2. Select the LM4-SSID from the displayed WiFi network list. This will

connect your PD to the LM4’s unique WiFi address. The next steps will

enable the LM4 connection to your local router.

3. Now, open a web browser on your PD and type in the following URL

(IP address) 192.168.4.1

480.894.5437 Call us toll-free 1.800.685.2783

2167 East Fifth St, Tempe, Arizona 85281

4. The Configure WiFi page should display on your PD’s screen

(see Fig. 1 desktop computer).

5. Click on or tap the blue Configure WiFi button. This will bring up the list

of local networks in your area.

6. From the WiFi network list, select your local router SSID (name) and

enter your WiFi password. (as seen in Fig. 2 laptop)

7. Once you have selected your network and entered your password,

click on or tap the blue Save button to record and Save your router’s

WiFi credentials into the LM4.

8. A confirmation screen will appear on your PD. (see Fig. 3). Important

Note: The router will assign an IP address to the LM4.

9. In WiFi Settings, be sure the local router is now selected. Use the

assigned IP address in your PD’s browser to control the LM4 from your

Personal Device. On the PD, you should now see a screen similar to Fig.

4. For more details on pairing the LM4, see “Quick Start: Pairing the LM4

with Your Phone”.
