Introduction/quick Start

Introduction / Quick start
The MP10UH Micro Purge Basics Controller is used to operate QED Well Wizard bladder
sampling pumps to purge and sample ground water.The MP10UH has specific design features
to make MicroPurge sampling easier. These features include:
Manual Mode Operation Directly set pump refill and discharge cycle times for deep well
applications.
MicroPurge Mode Operation Simple Increase / Decrease keys allow you to easily set the
flow rate you need for each well, for pump depths to approximately 250 ft.
IDTime Set Mode Operation Quickly recalls pre-determined MicroPurge settings for each
well by specifying a 3-digit ID.
Level Delay Interface The controller plugs into the optional MP30 MicroPurge Drawdown/
Water Level Meter to provide direct feedback of well drawdown and to pause pump operation
until the level recovers.
The optional MP30 MicroPurge Drawdown / Water Level Meter plugs into the MP10UH to provide
water level feedback. The MP30 uses a standard conductivity probe to detect the ground water
surface and a marked tape allowing the user to measure the depth.When the meter is set in
MicroPurge mode, the probe is lowered a specific distance below the static water level and fixed in
this position. During well sampling if the water level drops below the user-set probe position, the
MP10UH is paused which prevents further draw down by the pump. Once the level recovers the
MP10UH begins pump operation again, starting in the pump refill cycle. Use of the MP10UH with
the MP30 is detailed later in this manual.
Insert Batteries
Remove the battery cover on the top of the MP10UH. Insert 3, AA alkaline batteries into the battery
holder and carefully replace the holder in the carrier. Replace the battery cover and tighten the 4
screws. Batteries should last for about 6-8 weeks of typical full-time field use. If the MP10UH will
be stored longer than about 3 months, the alkaline batteries should be removed to prevent leakage.
