Please notify the carrier immediately if there are any signs of damage to the parts.
Sensorex PHAMP-1 may be used with an LMI 56955 BNC-BNC 20-foot extender cable. If possible, mount the controller on an exterior wall for improved cellular reception for LMI Connect. For best coverage, mount the controller near a corner in the building.
Section 3.0 - Installation 3.2 Controller Mounting 1. Determine the desired position of the controller on the wall. Refer to Figure 1 for controller dimensions. Figure 1: Controller Dimensions 2. Attach the mounting bracket to sheet metal or wood using the included screws. Screws for other surfaces can be used with the 5.5 mm (7/32”) through holes as long the screw head is less than 4 mm (5/32”) in height.
3.3 LMI Connect Antenna Attach the included cellular antenna (56437) to the SMA Female connector on the left side of the unit. Tilt the antenna so that it is pointing upwards. LMI Connect can be activated at connect.lmipumps.com using the product serial number and LMI Connect ID that can be found in System Settings –...

Figure 4: LMI Mounting Panel 3.6 Batch Tank / Submersed Probe Installation The Liquitron 7000 Series Controller can be used for batch control in pH-Only and ORP- Only modes to control the effluent valve based on setpoint and time. This is commonly used for wastewater treatment to ensure proper pH or ORP and for processing applications.
Figure 5: Submersed Probe Installation 3.7 Cooling Tower Installation The Liquitron 7000 Series Controller should be installed based upon the recommended system diagram in Figure 6. A bypass loop for open recirculating water systems is the best method for monitoring and controlling conductivity. The probes must receive an active representative sample of system water.
Figure 6: Cooling Tower Installation 3.8 Boiler Installation The Liquitron 7000 Series Controller when used for boiler conductivity control can be set up in two different operating modes: 1. Continuous Sampling 2.
Section 3.0 - Installation Figure 7: Continuous Sampling Boiler Installation In timed sampling mode, the controller allows only periodic samples of boiler water to pass by the probe. If the sample is high in conductivity, the sampling period extends until the conductivity falls below preset levels.
Figure 8: Timed Sample Boiler Installation 3.9 pH/ORP Inline Installation The Liquitron 7000 Series Controller can be used for monitoring and controlling pH and ORP in an inline installation as shown in Figure 9. The injection point for the chemical should be a sufficient distance upstream from the Flow Cell with probes to allow for chemicals to be adequately mixed.
Section 3.0 - Installation Figure 9: pH/ORP Inline Installation 3.10 Wiring To access the wiring connections inside of the controller: WARNING: Disconnect power prior to removing the black lid to access the wiring terminals. 1. Remove the four (4) #1 Phillips screws on the corners of the controller until the springs raise the screws.
Section 3.0 - Installation Figure 10: Complete Wiring Terminal Diagram 3.10.1 Power Input When using a prewired unit, a 6-foot power cord with the appropriate connector is included and wired to terminal block J32. When using a hardwired installation, insert the power supply cable through the single cable gland and attach the wires to J32 as follows: Figure 11: Power Input Wiring Diagram To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the controller must be plugged into a...
Section 3.0 - Installation 3.10.2 On/Off Pump Output The controller switches the input supply voltage to the pump output when chemical injection is required. When using a prewired unit, four (4) 6-inch power output pigtails with the appropriate connectors are included and wired to terminal blocks J24, J22, and J19. The pump power cords can be attached directly to the output pigtail.

Section 3.0 - Installation 3.10.5 Blowdown Valve Power Output The controller provides a Single Pole Double Throw Relay that switches the input supply voltage to the Blowdown Valve when required. For a motorized ball valve, both normally open and normally closed connections can be used as shown in Figure 15. Insert the power cable for the valve through the cable gland and attach the wires as follows: AC Line Normally Open (Black/White)
BNC connector on the ORP probe (56570), insert the tinned leads through the cable gland, and attach to the appropriate terminal. The controller can accept one conductivity probe input. The LMI conductivity probe (56567) has a cell constant of K = 1.0. The controller can also accept a conductivity probe with a cell constant of K = 1.5.
*Note: Polarity on Flow Switch signal/return does not matter Figure 18: Flow Switch Wiring Diagram When installing the LMI Flow Switch (56568) into the tee assembly, be sure to glue the straight thread adapter into the branch of the tee. This adapter is for the flow switch. The NPT fitting can be threaded into the LMI Flow Cell (56566) and glued into a through connection on the tee.
Section 3.0 - Installation Controller Flow Switch, Low Tank, or Flow Meter 1. Switch Closure Switch Switch closing triggers the pump Ground/Return Flow Switch, Low Tank, or Flow Meter 2. NPN Transistor Base goes high to trigger the pump Ground/Return Flow Switch, Low Tank, or Flow Meter 3.
Section 3.0 - Installation Pump eramic Figure 20: Low Tank Input Wiring Diagram Refer to Figure 19 for other methods to trigger the Low Tank Inputs 3.10.9 Flow Meter Input The controller includes separate Flow Meter Inputs for Make-up and Blowdown water. For use with a contacting or paddle wheel flow meter, the controller supplies 24V on the Flow Meter connection and will consume 4mA when closed.
Section 3.0 - Installation 3.10.10 Analog 4-20 mA Output The controller includes two (2) Analog 4-20 mA Outputs that can be configured in Application Settings – Analog Outputs to indicate any available sensor value at a user- defined scale. This can be used for a chart recorder or PLC. Insert the 4-20 mA cables through the cable gland, and attach the wires as follows: Figure 22: Analog Output Wiring Diagram Instruction Manual...
