  • Page 9: Introduction

    Using a separate injection module, or tank, eliminates mixing chemicals and reduces chemical waste, and simplifies equipment care and maintenance. Sidekick Pro provides connectivity to a Raven CANbus system to allow an existing Raven CAN control console to control the rate of the chemical injection system.

  • Page 10: Sidekick Pro Features

    Calibrating chemical injection pumps is necessary for accurate chemical injection applications, however, this process can be messy, is potentially hazardous to the operator, and ecologically problematic. The Sidekick Pro closed calibration system allows the operator to perform calibration or system tests without catching or handling dangerous chemicals.

  • Page 19: Mount The Chemical Tank

    • Mount the Sidekick Pro pump so that the line between the injection pump and chemical supply tank is near level with a slight incline to help relieve air bubbles. The line connected to the pump inlet must not raise chemical above 2 ft.
  • Page 20 Chapter 3 Sidekick Pro Pump Mounting and Bracket Orientation FIGURE 6. Pump Outlet Pump Inlet Pump Mounting Bracket Note: The pump mounting bracket may be rotated to accommodate mounting to a vertical surface, however, the injection pump must be mounted level with the outlet port perpendicular to the ground.

    Chapter 4 Meter Cal The meter cal value for the Sidekick Pro injection pump may be found on the label located on the pump motor. Enter this value as the initial meter cal in the control console. Note: The meter cal may be adjusted to refine calibration of the chemical injection pump. Refer to the Calibrate the Injection Pump section on page 32 to check or refine the meter cal.

  • Page 33: Pvd Error Cal (Viper Pro And Envizio Pro Only)

    Increase the PVD error cal value to set a tighter tolerance. Set the PVD error cal to zero to turn off all flow monitor alarms for the injected chemical. Note: The range for the PVD error cal is 0 through 9. The default value for any Sidekick Pro injection pump is 6. FER Cal (SCS 4000/5000 Series only) The FER (Flow to Encoder Ratio) error cal value is used to set the flow error tolerance of chemical injection applications.

  • Page 34: Pressure Transducer Calibration

    Before operating the Sidekick Pro system, calibrate the pressure transducers which monitor both the injected chemical and carrier product pressures. Pressure of the injected product is monitored by a pressure transducer connected to the Sidekick Pro pump. Pressure of the carrier product is monitored by an optional boom or carrier product line pressure transducer.

  • Page 35: Control Features And Application Modes
