S Y S T E M O V E R V I E W The Multi-Flow is a two component system, with each component performing a specific function. The circuit board located inside the pump housing, receives the supply signals from the washmachine. Signals are then routed to the Remote (hand-held) Control, which is responsible for all timing and programming functions.
RELAY MODE OPERATION: This type of operation is typically used with a microprocessor controlled washer. When set to relay mode, the Multi-Flow system will run its pumps as long as their respective signals are present. To accomplish this, the system “by-passes” its run time and delay time capabilities for the chemical pumps, however bleach defeat and flush mode are still available, with no change in the way they’re set or used.
This measurement must be taken when the washmachine is operating and when products are being called for. If the washmachine has 2 commons for product signals, the Multi-Flow can accommodate this by removing a resistor to “split” commons A and B on the circuit board (see the wiring diagram on page 18 for details).
K E Y P A D D I A G R A M DISPLAY WINDOW Allows you to choose the desired formula (unless using RELAY mode) for operation. When programming the system, allows you to navigate through the various menu selections. Allows you to move (SCROLL) the cursor position left or right within certain menu selections to choose items you wish to change.
When working with a Multi-Flow system, there are two levels of protection for the system. The “main”, or programmer level, allows the programmer to enter all of the menus and functions of the Multi-Flow system. The “user” level allows only a few basic on-site functions without the possibility of changing programmed information.
DISPENSER IMPORTANT: The dispenser memory must be cleared when SETUP programming a new dispenser. CLEAR SETTINGS ? This selection allows you to clear pump volumes, flow rates and YES OR NO formula names in the dispenser and will reset the system to the factory default setting.

MICRO: Typically used with microprocessor controlled washers that can send a signal of exact duration to the Multi-Flow unit. The Multi-Flow interprets the duration of the signal as the formula number requested, based on the AFS SIGNAL TIME explained in the next menu selection.

(in seconds) are 1, 2, or 5. Example: If AFS signal time is set for 2, a 20 second signal from the washer would choose formula 10 on the Multi-Flow. AFS PUMP = 0 This selection sets which pump signal input will be used for the...

If access codes are changed, keep a record of the changes in a safe place, in the event that access codes are forgotten. If the record of code changes becomes misplaced, contact Knight. DISPLAY NAME This selection allows you to change the display name that shows in the window of the Remote Control (up to 14 characters).

INC / DEC remote control is used with an On-Premise (OP) or On-Premise Plus (OPP) pump unit. It allows the Multi-Flow control to compensate for multiple pumps running simultaneously. This overcomes the slight drop in pump speed, and ensures that the programmed dosages are properly injected.
CALIBRATE PUMPS PRIME PUMP 1 This selection allows you to prime pumps. Use INC/DEC to ENT = START/STOP choose the pump number, then press ENTER to start pump. Press ENTER again to stop pump. Press MENU to continue. CALIBRATE=VOLUME This selection allows you to choose “volume” or “time” pump INC/DEC ENTER calibration —...

USER This menu is always available if the “main” access code is used, MENU however, this is the ONLY menu that is available if the “user” access code is used.

This menu allows you to copy all dispenser settings from another TRANSFER Multi-Flow Remote Control. The Remote Controls must be connected together with a network cable. Shut off the power to both dispensers before connecting the stereo jack cable. Once the cable is firmly connected to the stereo jacks on both Remote Controls, power may then be re-applied.
W A R R A N T Y All Knight controls and pump systems are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of ONE year. All electronic control boards have a TWO year warranty. Warranty applies only to the replacement or repair of such parts when returned to factory with a Knight Return Authorization (KRA) number, freight prepaid, and found to be defective upon factory authorized inspection.
