GENERAL RULES Wa r n i n g s Read the warnings below carefully. They provide important information regarding safe installation, use and maintenance. Store this manual with the utmost care for future reference. The device complies with directive no. 2014/30/EU “electromagnetic compatibility” and no. 2014/35/EU “low voltage directive”.
G e n e r a l f e a t u r e s o f E Tw i n p u m p s ETwin is an easy to use device, consisting of a pair of metering pumps (electromagnetic or peristaltic) and electronics capable of measuring the chemical values of water in a swimming pool, such as pH, redox potential (mV) and chlorine concentration (in ppm).
� Range of values: 0÷14 • Redox: -1000 ÷ +1400 mV • PPM: 0÷2, 0÷10, 0÷20, 0÷200 ppm • Temperature 0÷100 °C (PT100) • O p e r a t i n g p r i n c i p l e o f p e r i s t a l t i c p u m p s By peristalsis we mean the propulsive motion of automatic contractions inside a channel or pipe, from whence the term peristaltic action.
M a i n a d d i t i o n a l f u n c t i o n s Function Description Operating if enabled, the opening or closing of the contact on the level probe indicates that the additive in the tank has finished;...
INSTALLATION Install the pump in a dry area away from heat sources at a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C, while the minimum operating temperature depends on the liquid to be dosed which must always remain in the fluid state. Comply with standards in force in the different countries regarding the electrical installation (Fig.

To facilitate pump priming, it is equipped with the PRIMING function. It is recommended to open the purge bypass on the pump bodies (for eTwin with electromagnetic hydraulics) during the priming operations. The air purge fitting must always be connected to the relative tube with return to the suction tank.

CONSTANT: the pumps operate at a fixed frequency or speed until they reach the set-point value. • PROPORTIONAL: the time-pause intervals or the injection frequency decreases as the set point value approaches to limit • oscillations of the measurement INTERVAL: intervention value for the maximum PROPORTIONAL dosage •...
H p r o b e c o n n e c t i o n The following instructions apply to eTwin pH-Rx or pH-pH models where channel 1 is always allocated to the pH probe input. For Cl-pH instruments, on the other hand, the pH probe must be connected to the second channel. To get started, connect the probe to the instrument as indicated in Fig.
To allow the device to correctly detect the parameters of the water to be checked, the probes connected to it must be calibrated. Either electrodes made of glass or plastic can be used. The instructions for calibrating the probe apply to all eTwin device models and...
p H p r o b e c a l i b r a t i o n The following steps show how to calibrate the pH probe. To perform the operations, you must have two vials of pH 7 and pH 9 buffer solutions of reference (the solutions are not included in the supply and can be requested separately).
C l p r o b e c a l i b r a t i o n Before performing the calibration, you must modify the PPM VALUES SCALE parameter (see relative menu) based on the chlorine probe used. See the instructions attached to your probe for the preliminary connection and preparation operations of the sensor and relative maintenance.
. You may scroll the different items using the keys and then selecting the concerned item by pressing *PPM SCALE VALUES menu only included in the eTwin Cl-pH version The following paragraphs extensively explain the operating procedures for configuration of the auxiliary functions.
R e l a y o u t p u t s You may set three relay outputs independently, associated respectively to: PUMP_1 (pH), or Chlorine • PUMP_2 (Rx), or else pH, depending on • the model TIMER • TEMPERATURE •...

Similar procedures can be followed to configure the outputs connected to RELAY 2 and RELAY 3 ENGLISH...
I n p u t s You may set the operating parameters of 4 different external inputs: • LEVEL 1 (5-6) • LEVEL 2 (7-8) • FLOW SENSOR (proximity) – (9-10) EXTERNAL COMMAND (11-12) • Refer to Fig. 8 for the connection to the respective terminals By DEFAULT, the proximity sensor and the external contact are set at NORMALLY OPEN.

During the timer triggering period (ON) the display shows the measurements. Vice versa, when the device is off, again under timer, the display shows the date and time. If the timer is enabled by error, it is recommended to disable it or to reset the parameters.
A l a r m s The eTwin pump can monitor correct operation of the system and signal some alarm situations which can occur; to be more specific, the following alarms can be triggered: Level alarm • • Maximum value alarm •...

To eliminate the ALARM, press OK and then ESC (only if the values have returned within the non-alarm range). If the values are still within the alarm threshold, to enter the MENU, press OK (the instrument goes in PAUSE) and then press ESC for about 5 sec.
m A o u t p u t The device is equipped with an analogue output in 4-20 mA current which can be associated to only one measuring channel chosen by the user (SeeFig. 8 - terminal board for the connection). The following procedure shows the different steps to carry out to set the parameters.
A c t i v a t i o n d e l a y If intervention of the pumps needs to be delayed, a delay can be set in hh:mm. The maximum time interval that can be set is 03:00 hh. The activation delay can be enabled independently on pumps 1 and 2.
PP M s c a l e v a l u e s Depending on the type of chlorine probe used, the full scale intervals of the measurement on channel 2 can be chosen for Chlorine - pH model instruments. C l o c k Some applications could require programming activation or deactivation of the device.
P a s s w o r d A password can be set to protect, even separately: • CALIBRATION SETPOINT • SETTINGS • • STAND-BY The password has 4 numbers and is unique. By default, the passport is disabled on all the sections. The following are the indications for setting the functional parameters If you’ve lost the password, contact CUSTOMER SERVICE to restore the device.
The devices of the eTwin series are designed for the level check. By applying the level probe (not included in the supply), you can monitor the level of the liquid to be dosed contained in the tank.
7) Repeat this operation with water; 8) Reconnect the pump to the plant. INTERVENTION ON ETWIN PUMPS IN CASE OF FAILURE M e c h a n i c a l f a i l u r e s Since the system is robust, actual mechanical failures do not occur. Liquid can at times leak from a loose fitting or tube clamping ring nut, or simply if the pinch tube bursts.
