To fix a frozen screen on the QED MP50, follow these steps:
1. Check battery voltage – Ensure the batteries have more than 3.6 volts. 2. Replace batteries – If the batteries are low or dead. 3. Check battery installation – Make sure the batteries are installed correctly. 4. Check battery connection – Ensure the battery contacts are clean and secure. 5. Warm the controller – If the temperature is below 10º F.
These steps can help restore display function if it is frozen or not showing.

Do not over pressurize your controller. Failure to operate the controller within the pres- sure limits could result in failure. Read all operating instructions before operating the MP50 controller.

Use of the MP50 with the MP30 is detailed later in this manual. Insert Batteries: Remove the battery cover on the top of the MP50. Insert 3, AA alkaline bat- teries into the battery holder and carefully replace the holder in the carrier. Replace the battery cover and tighten the 4 screws.

Note: An option to use an external air source is built into the MP50. To use external air source (rather than the built-in air compressor) simply connect the air source to the “Air In” port.
In wells in which this water column height is 5 feet or less, the pump is considered to be in a low-submergence application. QED sampling bladder pumps fill by hydrostatic pressure. As the inside of the pump's bladder fills with water, the bladder expands. This filling and expanding of the bladder is referred to as the "refill"...
The MP50 displays an opening screen for 5 seconds, after which it displays the default Micro- Purge screen. At this point the MP50 is in MicroPurge mode (MP) but not cycling the pump. This initial state allows the user to adjust time and throttle settings before the pump starts to operate.
MicroPurge Mode Most MP50 users will leave the controller in the default MicroPurge (MP) mode. See Figure 2 for an example of the MP50 in MP mode. MP mode lets you to use the UP and DOWN keys to directly increase and decrease pump flow rates. The MP50 has a broad range of other CPM settings to ensure the availability of a time setting that will match your specific conditions.

Operation With this method, the number of complete pump cycles per minute is fixed, within a range of 1 to 6; 4 CPM is the default value which appears at startup. Each time the up/down arrow keys are pressed, the pump refill and discharge times are both automatically adjusted to maintain the selected CPM value.

Automatic Cycling state. During Hold and Sample a HELD is displayed to remind you that the controller is in a paused state. Figure 3 shows an example of the MP50 in MP mode, but HELD in the Sample state.
Use with the MP30 Automatic Drawdown Control The MP50 may optionally be used with the MP30 MicroPurge Drawdown / Water Level Meter. See Figure 4 for an example of the MP50 in MP mode with the controller in a level paused state enacted by an MP30 meter.

Additional information on the MP30 is given in the MP30 O&M manual ID Mode Figure 6 shows an example of the MP50 in ID time set mode. Once you've used the MP50 in MP mode and found proper settings for your wells, subsequent sampling events are speeded along by using the controller in ID mode.
ID. The UP and DOWN keys are used to change the ID number (the MP50 has IDs that range from 1-165) up or down in value. Sampling in ID mode is the same as explained, above, for MP mode.
MP mode. The MP50 does not attempt to translate a user set time into a corresponding ID or CPM. Also, any settings you have entered in MP or ID modes are lost once you press the MODE key to enter MN mode.
