E V A P C O Integrated Controller Evapco Pulse~Pure Integrated Controller-2 ® Instruction, Operation and Installation Manual Addendum EVAPCO, Inc. World Headquarters; PO Box 1300; Westminster, MD USA Pulse~Pure ® Integrated Controller Addendum Rev.2 TEL: 410-756-2600...
INTRODUCTION The Evapco Pulse~Pure Integrated Controller offers conductivity control of evaporative cooling water integrated into Evapco’s patented water treatment system. This addendum should be used in conjunction with Evapco’s standard Pulse~Pure ® Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual. The Pulse~Pure Integrated Controller is microprocessor-driven with on/off control outputs. It is supplied with a temperature compensated toroidal conductivity sensor and associated mounting assembly for the sensor.

Conductivity Probe, Flow Switch and Water Meter Connections 3.5.1 Conductivity Probe The conductivity probe contains eight wires. Lace conductivity probe wires through the probe’s locking nut before wiring into panel. Bring wire into panel through supplied waterproof strain-relief cord grip located on the bottom of Integrated Panel. Connect wires to connector on Interface Board located on the left-hand side of panel door.
Blowdown Valve and Timer Connections The Pulse~Pure Integrated Controller allows 5 Amps of current for incoming power of 120V, 230V or 460V for operating a conductivity-actuated blowdown valve and timer- actuated device. Make all connections to the DIN rail located inside the Pulse~Pure Panel at the bottom. Feed wires from the devices through waterproof stress-relief cord grips provided.
4.0 FUNCTION OVERVIEW Front Panel Panel Door Locks (2) Sun Shield Main Service Disconnect Backlit Touch Display Status Indicator LEDs Figure 7 Front Panel Display A summary screen (Home) is displayed when the Integrated Panel is energized, and system is operating. Conductivity value, water temperature and flow status are displayed.
Touch Screen Display The Touch Display screen is used to navigate thorough menu of the controller. The unit will control continuously while power is supplied, even while navigating or changing programming. The Home screen is displayed while the controller is powered and turned on. Touching any of the items on the Home screen will bring up the selected item’s Details Screen where you can access calibration and settings menus.
Supply power to the unit by switching the main power disconnect to the “ON” position. The disconnect is located on the upper right of the panel door. All circuit breakers in the panel should be in their ON position. The display will briefly show the message “Evapco Controller Initializing” then revert to the Home display.
The Integrated Panel operates continuously when it is powered. The Touch Screen is used to program operating settings and set points. Controllers have been programmed by Evapco prior to shipment with default settings. The settings but can be manually customized in the field as required. Keep track of any manual programming changes made for future reference.
Configuration 5.2.1 Global Settings Date From the Main Menu screen, select Configuration Settings. Select Global Settings. Touch the Scroll Up or Down icon until Date is displayed, and then select it. Touch the Move Cursor icon to assign year, month and date.
5.2.3 Display Settings Note: Changing “Home” Screen display assignments may affect operation. Do not attempt to modify the settings without prior approval from Evapco Water Systems. Adjust Display From the Main Menu screen, select Configuration Settings. Select Display Settings. Touch the Scroll Down icon until Adjust Display is observed and select it.
Export; Data Log File, Event Log, System Log Place a USB flash drive with at least a 10 MB capacity into the USB port located on the bottom of the Pulse~Pure panel. Select the log you wish to export (Data Log, Event Log or System Log) from the File Utilities menu on the controller display.
Select the item you wish to configure. Using the keypad on the screen display enter the alarm value. When configuration is complete select the Confirm icon to save. Do not attempt to modify other settings associated with this sensor input without prior approval from Evapco Water Systems.
(no water flow, switch is open) “No Flow” message is displayed on the Home Screen. “No Flow” warning message also appears at the top of the Home Screen. When system pump is energized (water flow, switch is closed) “FLOW” is displayed on the Home screen. Contact Evapco Water Systems before adjusting settings associated with this input.
The Bleed Set point has been pre-set at the factory to 1000µS/cm. Upon start-up and commissioning of the cooling system the Bleed Set Point must be adjusted to the Evapco recommended set point for the specific project. The Evapco set point recommendation is found on the project’s PPF1.0 report. Contact Evapco Water Systems for a copy of the report if it is not available at the job site.

To configure Bleed Lockout Select Bleed Lockout from Timer(R6) menu Enter desired lockout time and select Confirm icon to save setting. Bleed Lockout time is set to zero if lockout is not desired. Add Last Missed When Add Last Missed is enabled the last event missed due to controller interlock (e.g. no flow) will occur once the interlock has been relieved.
MAINTENANCE The controller itself requires very little maintenance. Wipe with a damp cloth. Do not spray down the controller unless the enclosure door is closed and latched. Sensor Cleaning NOTE: The controller must be recalibrated after cleaning the sensor. Frequency The sensor should be cleaned periodically.
Check tee for obstruction. Verify flow. Change location of sensor tee. Pre-bleed set too low Check pre-bleed setting compared to % low. Bleed valve stuck open Repair or replace Bleed valve. (Consult your Evapco Rep). Faulty sensor Replace sensor. Improper wiring of probe Correct wiring.

TEMP ERROR This error condition will stop conductivity control. It indicates that the temperature signal from the conductivity sensor is no longer valid. This prevents controlling based upon a false conductivity reading. Possible Cause Corrective Action Improper wiring of sensor to controller. Correct wiring Temperature input is set to the incorrect element Reprogram to RTD 1000 Ohm Element...
Procedure for Evaluation of Conductivity Sensor Try cleaning the sensor first (refer to Section 6.1). Check the sensor connections to the terminal strip. Make sure that the correct colors go to the correct terminals the connections are tight and that the connectors are pinching on exposed wire lead, not insulation.
