 9. Level alarm - Models

LEVEL ALARM

CL, IS, IC, PV and TE type pump are provided with a liquid level alarm to indicate if product tank is empty. The level probe
is connected to the right BNC plug on pump’s bottom panel. The level probe is made of a N.O. reed contact (10VA, 1A max,
230Vac max) closed by a floating magnet housed in a (PP) plastic box. When the product level goes below the minimum
the magnet closes the reed contact. The pump stops and the red LED on pump’s front panel indicates the alarm status.

PUMP TYPES

“AMS Analog” series pump capacity can be reduced 10 or 100 times operating the 1/10/100 switch in the frontal panel,
the % marked knob will act on this set capacity.

AMS CO

Constant dosing pump with stroke speed adjustment between 0 and 100% of indicated capacity (see label on pump
type). The % marked knob sets the pump capacity, changing linearly the magnet stroke number per minute. It is strongly
suggested to not operate the pump in the range from 0 to 10%, since there is not a linear correlation with the pump
stroke speed in that range. This pump is specially designed for constant dosing rates. AMS CO pump can be ON/OFF driven
by a LPH or a LCD instrument. To set 2 l/h against 10 bar on a AMS CO 1004 the % marked knob should be set to 50%.

AMS CL

Constant dosing pump with level alarm, provided with a floating magnetic sensor probe. A red led indicates that the pump
stops dosing because the product tank is empty. This pump has the same features and adjustments of the CO type pump.

AMS IC

Proportional/constant pump driven by current signal. Setting the switch on the constant position, the pump has the
same features and adjustments of the CL pump. Setting the switch on the proportional
position, the pump capacity is set proportionally to a given analog current signal; a given linear change of the signal
will be followed by a linear change of capacity.
The current signal accepted range is 0÷20 mA (it can be changed upon demand). The maximum pump capacity requested
by the maximum input signal is set by the % marked knob. The IC pump can be driven by any electronic device (such as
pH-meter, RH-meter, etc) that gives an analog current signal output. This signal must be applied to the bipolar cable provided
with the pump, already internal connected, being care to connections: red wire: positive (+); black wire: negative (-).

18
 AMS IS

Proportional/constant pump driven by a digital signal. Setting the switch on the constant position, the pump has the
same features and adjustments of the CL pump. Setting the switch on the proportional position, to each external voltage
free pulse correspond a magnet stroke. When proportional position is set, the % marked knob does NOT affect the pump
capacity. The IS proportional dosing pump can be driven by any external device (PCs, PLCs, etc.) that produce a digital
signal. The digital signal (N.O. contact) must be applied to the cable provided with the pump, already internal connected. If
it is requested a 0÷5; 0÷12 Vdc input signal option, be care to connections: red wire: positive (+); black wire: negative (-).

AMS PV

Proportional/constant pump driven by a water meter digital signal. Setting the switch on the constant position, the
pump has the same features and adjustments of the CL pump. It is furthermore possible to divide the maximum magnet
strokes per minute by 1, 10 and 100 using the switch on the front panel. Setting the switch on the proportional position,
to each external pulse correspond one pump stroke. This pump can be driven by a CTFI or CWFI series water meters. This
pump can also be driven by a digital signal coming from a voltage free contact. Driving signal is applied on the BNC plug
on the left bottom of the front cover. Dividing factor (N) value is obtained multiplying the value indicated on the adjustment
knob by the multiplying switch (x1, x10, x100) value.

Capacity definition for “AMS PV” pump

Given the water m3 to be treated and the product amount to dose in p.p.m., the minimum pump capacity to be used can
be obtained with the following formula:

ppm x K x m3
——————————————— = l/h
1000

l/h - minimum pump capacity required

ppm - product amount to dose in p.p.m. (gr/m3)
k - dosed product dilution factor (pure chemical k=1)
m3 - maximum capacity of the system to be treated in m3 /h.

Dividing factor (N) to be set on the adjustment knob is given by the following formula:

imp/l x cc
( ———————————— ) x 1000 = N
ppm x K

N - is the number the external pulses are divided by to be set on the adjustment knob
imp/l- pulse per liter given by the water meter
cc - pump’s single stroke dosing quantity (in cc). Refer to following table
k - dosed product dilution factor (pure chemical k=1)
ppm* - product amount to dose in p.p.m. (gr/m3)
* 10.000 ppm equals to 1%

19
 Pump model cc max Piston displacement
AMS PV 2505 0,70 100%
AMS PV 1510 1,4 100%
AMS PV 1015 2,08 100%
AMS PV 0720 2,8 100%
AMS PV 0340 5,6 100%
AMS PV 0260 7,7 100%

If the dividing factor (N), obtained with the above formula, is <1, a pump with higher single stroke dosing quantity
is required or the water meter needs to be changed with one that gives higher number of pulses per liter. In some
application this issue can be solved reducing the dosed product dilution factor. If dosed amount is higher than the
needed one, the set dividing factor (N) can be increased.

AMS PVM

Proportional/constant pump driven by a water meter digital signal.

Setting the switch on the constant position, the pump has stroke speed adjustment between 0 and
100% of indicated capacity (see label on pump type). The % marked knob sets the pump capacity,
changing linearly the magnet stroke number per minute. It is strongly suggested to not operate the
pump in the range from 0 to 10%, since there is not a linear correlation with the pump stroke speed in
that range. It is furthermore possible to divide the maximum magnet strokes per minute by 1 (÷1), 10
(÷10) and 100 (÷100) using the switch on the front panel. The electronic capacity adjustment sets the
injection per minute.

If the pump is set to Proportional mode, you only use the settings labelled in the colour of the water
meter symbol on the face of the pump.

Set the selector switch to x1, /1 or /10.

In Proportional mode, the Stroke Frequency adjustment knob becomes a Factor Setting, eg 1, 2, 3 etc.

This factor is used to multiply or divide the pulses.

For instance, if the selector switch is set to x1, and the Factor Setting is set to 5, the pump will stroke 5
times for every pulse received.
Conversely, if the selector switch is set to /1, and the Factor Setting is set to 4, say, the pump will only
give 1 stroke very 4 pulses received.

This pump can be driven by a CTFI or CWFI series water meters. This pump can also be driven by a
digital signal coming from a voltage free contact. Driving signal is applied on the BNC plug on the left
of the bottom pump cover.

20
 10. Priming

PRIMING

To prime the pump without touching chemicals please do as follow:

- connect all hoses into proper places (delivery hose, suction hose, outgassing hose).
- open outgassing valve and turn on the pump.
- set pump’s single injection at 100% and pulses at 50%.

All air inside the pump head will exit through the outgassing outlet. When product will leak from it, close immediately
the outgassing valve. If dosing product is particularly dense, to facilitate the priming, insert on vent pipe a syringe of 20
cc and suck inside.

 E Appendix. Chemical Compatibility Table

Solenoid driven metering pumps are widely used to dose chemical fluids and it is important that the most suitable material
in contact with fluid is selected for each application. This compatibility table serves as a useful help in this respect. All the
informations in this list are verified periodically and believed to be correct on the date of issuance. All the informations
in this list are based on manufacturer’s data and its own experience but since the resistance of any material depends by
several factors this list is supplied only as an initial guide, in no way manufacturer makes warranties of any matter respect
to the informations provided in this list.
