If the KMT SL-IV PLUS Series pump PF1 shuts down after a few hours of operation, check the following:
- Ensure the motor is running continuously; if it stops for 2 minutes, the solenoid valve (11) shuts off and must be reset by pressing F6. - Verify pressure readings: - Filter pressure drop should not exceed 1 bar (15 psi). - Booster pump inlet pressure must be above 2 bar (30 psi). - Booster pump discharge pressure should be between 8.0–8.3 bar (115–120 psi). - Intensifier LP cutting water supply pressure should be above 4 bar (60 psi). - Check for pressure fluctuations greater than 2 bar (30 psi) during intensifier direction changes. - Confirm water temperature at the booster pump outlet is below 128°F. - Inspect for any leaks and repair them immediately. - Perform regular maintenance checks on pressures, temperatures, and system components.

Automatic shutoff of the cutting water supply prevents unnecessary water spillage in the event of an external leak that triggers an automatic shutdown on an unattended KMT Waterjet pump. Maintenance Overview In order to maintain necessary fluid pressure for the pump and to keep the water clean for proper operation it is necessary to replace the water filter and/or adjust the booster pump.
SECTION 6 LOW PRESSURE WATER 6.3.2 Booster Pump If booster pressure, as read on the booster pump discharge pressure gage (14) is less than 8.0-8.3 bar (115-120 psi), the booster pump needs to be adjusted.

Two starter circuits are typically used: ♦ Wye-Delta for reduced voltage starting: Required in Europe and standard on the SL-IV for motors of 75 hp or greater.
SECTION 8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 8.1.2 Control Circuits and Logic The operator controls the waterjet pump primarily through the digital display panel. The digital interface (display) communicates with the PLC controller located inside the electrical enclosure. In order to avoid costly damage to the pump, automatic shutdown logic and diagnostic messages are displayed to the operator as to the cause of the impending shutdown.

SECTION 8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WATER RESET FUNCTION Press on (I) to shut water off five (5) minutes after machine shuts down. Selecting this function will insure that the inlet cutting water is shut off following a shutdown fault. This can prevent water from leaking past a damaged water seal following an overstroke shutdown caused by a seal failure.

SECTION 8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM After pressing the Start button: • The motor starter in the control panel is activated and the motor starts. • The intensifier assembly starts operating. Reversal position is sensed by proximity switches, which send signals to the PLC inside the control panel.
SECTION 8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 8.1.4 CONTROL POWER CIRCUITS (see Figure 8-1) A control power transformer (7) with multiple input taps and 230 VAC output taps provides all control power to the SL-IV Intensifier Pump. A pair of leads from the main breaker/ door disconnect (3) are routed to the transformer (7) input side.
SECTION 8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Maintenance Overview Electrical components require minimum attention and service. components that require service are the proximity switches on the intensifier assembly, and the optical relay switch in the control panel. 8.2.1 Proximity Switch Service If the pump quits pumping water, the proximity switch may need to be replaced.
SECTION 9 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Features In addition to “slow start”, other features of the hydraulic system are listed below: • Hydraulic 4-way valve – directional control valve (DCV)–solenoid– operated.

SECTION 11 SPECIFICATIONS SECTION 11 SPECIFICATIONS Specifications Following are the specifications for the Waterjet Pump. Included are the specifications for the equipment, torque, cutting water, cooling water, and the maximum quantity of orifices that can be supported. 11.1 Equipment Specifications SL-IV Waterjet Pump Size 45 (60) kW (hp)
LIFE OF COMPONENTS. Use of an antiseize thread lubricant, like High Purity Goop (P/N 10084440) is highly recommended for tightening of stainless steel HP water fittings. A torque wrench kit is available from KMT Waterjet. (P/N 49895436). Jan 2003 80073455 p. 11...
SECTION 11 SPECIFICATIONS 11.3 Cutting Water Specifications The cutting water supply to the waterjet pump must meet the following specifications. High concentration of dissolved solids, especially calcium, silica, and chlorides, will affect high pressure component life. A water analysis will indicate the type of water treatment necessary.
SECTION 11 SPECIFICATIONS To predict the tendency of scale formation, the Langelier's saturation index can be used as a guide. Saturation Index = pH-pHs where pHs is calculated at saturation with calcium carbonate. A positive index indicates a tendency to deposit calcium carbonate, the higher the positive value, the higher the scale formation.

Do you have a question about the SL-IV PLUS Series and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Pump PF1 shuts down after a few hours of operation. What can be checked?
If the KMT SL-IV PLUS Series pump PF1 shuts down after a few hours of operation, check the following:
- Ensure the motor is running continuously; if it stops for 2 minutes, the solenoid valve (11) shuts off and must be reset by pressing F6.
- Verify pressure readings:
- Filter pressure drop should not exceed 1 bar (15 psi).
- Booster pump inlet pressure must be above 2 bar (30 psi).
- Booster pump discharge pressure should be between 8.0–8.3 bar (115–120 psi).
- Intensifier LP cutting water supply pressure should be above 4 bar (60 psi).
- Check for pressure fluctuations greater than 2 bar (30 psi) during intensifier direction changes.
- Confirm water temperature at the booster pump outlet is below 128°F.
- Inspect for any leaks and repair them immediately.
- Perform regular maintenance checks on pressures, temperatures, and system components.
