Page 4: Safety Warnings
SAFETY WARNINGS Safety warnings Compressed air - Use caution when working with compressed air or gas. Compressed gas cylinders are under extreme pressure and can cause unrestrained hoses to whip about danger- ously. Do not over pressurize your controller. Failure to operate the controller within the pres- sure limits could result in failure. - Page 5 DIAGRAMS / CONVENTIONS Diagrams and Conventions used in the Text (cont.)

Page 7: Introduction/Quick Start
INTRODUCTION/QUICK START Introduction / Quick start Introduction: The MP10 Micro Purge Basics Controller is used to operate QED Well Wizard bladder sampling pumps to purge and sample ground water. The MP10 has specific design features to make MicroPurge ™ sampling easier. These features include: MicroPurge Mode Operation Simple Increase / Decrease keys allow you to easily set the flow rate you need for each well. - Page 8 INTRODUCTION/QUICK START Quick Start: Connect the light blue coiled pump hose to the fitting label- ed AIR OUT on the MP10. Connect the red (or black, depending on your air source) air supply hose to a compressed air or gas source and con- nect it to the fitting labeled AIR IN on the MP10.

Page 9: Bladder Pump Operation In Low-Submergence Applications
In wells in which this water column height is 5 feet or less, the pump is considered to be in a low-submergence application. QED sampling bladder pumps fill by hydrostatic pressure. As the inside of the pump's bladder fills with water, the bladder expands. This filling and expanding of the bladder is referred to as the "refill"... -

(CPM and refill and discharge times you have set). This ID should be noted alongside the well identification (QED provides custom weatherproof ID badges for purchasers of our MP series of well caps) for quick setting of the optimal controller settings on the next visit by using the MP10 in ID mode. - Page 12 OPERATION With this method, the number of complete pump cycles per minute is fixed, within a range of 1 to 6; 4 CPM is the default value which appears at startup. Each time the up/down arrow keys are pressed, the pump refill and discharge times are both automatically adjusted to maintain the selected CPM value.
- Page 13 OPERATION Each of the 165 possible ID settings corresponds to a unique ID that is associated with CPM, refill and discharge time values. For typical usage, only the UP/DOWN arrow keys are required to set flow, and the ID number is provided for easy, direct return to past settings. Appendix 1 lists all pos- sible ID settings and the default refill and discharge time settings for each CPM.

OPERATION Warning: in the HELD SAMPLE state the pump, tubing and hoses are all under pressure. DO NOT attempt to disconnect or disassemble any part of the system when it is under pres- sure. The system is under pressure if the pressure gauge shows a value greater than 0 and the RED Discharge Cycle Indicator is showing. - Page 15 OPERATION Figure 5 MP10 MP30 Use MP10 MP10 MP30 Normal Static Level Maximum Point of Drawdown Figure 6 MP10 MP30 Use Connector for optional MP30 Drawdown Control MP10 MODEL Compressed gas source asics CONTROLLER connection MicroPurge Mode Quick Guide MicroPurge Mode Quick Guide 1.

Page 16: Sampling
OPERATION The MP10 and MP30 are connected with a cable (see Figures 5 and 6). The MP30 is switched into mode and the water level probe is lowered to the desired maximum drawdown level. Limiting the maximum drawdown depth limits the differential head driving flow into the well and the velocity of the water flowing into the well from the surrounding formation important in Micro- Purge sampling. -
Page 17: Id Mode
OPERATION If the MP30 is signaling the MP10 too frequently, the operator can slow down the pump flow rate by using the DOWN key (effectively increasing the pump refill time period). MP30 probe position may also be varied to provide a buffer zone for your drawdown limit and gauge rate of pumping effect on water level in the well. -
Page 18: User Time Set (Mn) Mode
(like previous model QED pump controllers). An example of the MP10 in User Set mode is shown in Figure 8. User set mode is also used when the wells being sampled are at extreme depths or there are other conditions where one of the 165 possible preset times of ID and MP modes will not match your needs. -
Page 19: Mp10 Battery
OPERATION In User Set mode the CPM and UP, DOWN keys function differently than MP mode. The CPM key becomes a key used to select the digits of the refill and discharge time settings found at the rightmost positions on the display. The UP and DOWN keys are used to adjust the digit value up or down. -
