    DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS This document uses the following conventions to present information: An exclamation point icon indicates a WARNING of a situation or condition that could lead to personal injury or death. You should not proceed until you read and thoroughly understand the WARNING message.
  • Page 5 In order to ensure that your Controller has a long service life and operates properly, adhere to the cautions below and read this manual before use. Disconnect from power source when not in use. Controller power input source must not exceed maximum ratings. Controller must be wired to a negative ground system.
  • Page 6: Section 1: System Description

    Section 1: System Description Function and Theory The Bladder Pump (BP) Controller 300 PSI is a high-pressure pump controller that uses advanced electronic logic to control gentle low-flow sampling. Equipped with a high- pressure solenoid activated valve and self-relieving regulator, the BP Controller can purge depths down to 690 feet/210 meters.
  • Page 7: Power Source

    Section 2: System Installation The BP Controller requires dry, moisture free air. Disregarding this caution can increase the likelihood of unnecessary maintenance. CAUTION Power Source Determine your power source, either 115 VAC or 12 VDC. Power connects are on the side of the control panel.
  • Page 8: Determining Psi

    Example (use metric units when applicable): Using an 18” bladder pump and 0.17” I.D. tubing, what size compressor is recommended to purge a sample 200’ deep? Step 1: Determine air consumption per cycle. In this case the 1.66 BP 18” pump is used with 200’ of 0.17” I.D. tubing. Volume of tubing = 30 in³...
  • Page 9: General Operating Definitions

    General Operating Definitions The BP Controller interface utilizes ‘FILL TIME’ and ‘DISCHARGE TIME’ to identify the alternating timed air cycles. The ‘STATUS’ light will indicate the current cycle or error code. FILL TIME – during this cycle, the controller is exhausting compressed air from the BP system (tubing and pump) to allow hydrostatic fill of liquid within the pump.

  • Page 11: Section 3: System Operation

    Section 3: System Operation The BP Controller 300 PSI has a normally closed valve. Therefore, if power is disconnected from the unit, the controller will automatically stop the flow of air. This helps to protect the integrity of the bladder and protects against draining the air source.
  • Page 12: Adjusting Cycle Timers

    Adjusting Cycle Timers The FILL TIME and DISCHARGE TIME knobs have a large diameter for maximum resolution. The timers have a range from 5-120 seconds. Adjust DISCHARGE TIME knob to approximately 10 seconds, and adjust FILL TIME knob to approximately 30 seconds. A 30 second exhaust cycle (FILL TIME) will be enough time to hydrostatically fill a bladder at approximately 100 ft.

  • Page 14: Section 4: System Maintenance

    Section 4: System Maintenance The BP Controller does not require a regular maintenance program; however, proper care will ensure reliability. As stated in installation and operation, this unit requires dry, moisture-free air. To disregard will increase the likelihood of unnecessary maintenance or hardware replacement.
  • Page 15: Section 5: System Troubleshooting

    Check power source.  If using a battery, see Section 2, ‘Battery Overdraw Protection’.  If power source is good, check air source.  Air source is good - have you been using clean dry air? If not contact Geotech at 1-800-833-7958...
