Page 3: Scope Of Manual
PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER SCOPE OF MANUAL This manual contains information concerning the installation, operation, and maintenance of the PHI 310 mixer. To ensure proper performance of the mixer, the instructions given in this manual should be thoroughly understood and followed.
Page 4: Safety Information
SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING DO NOT REMOVE VALVE OR DO ANY MAINTENANCE IN THE PHI VALVE ENCLOSURE OR ON ANY PART OF THE PHI MIXING SYSTEM UNTIL ELECTRICAL POWER IS TURNED OFF AND LOCKED OUT FOR BOTH THE COMPRESSOR AND THE VALVE PANEL.
Page 5: System Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION Simplicity in design, effective mixing, and the low power requirement makes the PHI 310 an ideal solution for any mixing application found in a wastewater and water treatment plant. The key to its effective mixing is achieved by proper sequencing of very large air bubbles.
Page 6 PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER HOW THE PHI SYSTEM WORKS The air pulse is approximately ½ second in duration and is injected through the forming plate. The forming plate distributes the air equally around its circumference creating a large flat bubble mass that rises at a rate of approximately four feet per second.
Page 7: Mixing Zones/Area Of Influence
PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER MIXING ZONES When mixing requires solids to be suspended, as found in wastewater treatment plants the effective mixing area is 1:1.2 ratio. This means for each foot of water depth the effective mixing zone is a 1.2’ radius from the center of the forming plate.
Page 8: Bubble Forming Plate Mounting
For a steel tank there are two ways to install the bubble forming plate: The first option is to purchase a PHI magnetic mounting kit. These powerful stainless steel magnets will hold the plate to the bottom of a...

If the surface is not flat, then use leveling nuts to square the plate and then bolt the plate in place (make sure to use all...
Page 10: Piping
For corrosive environments use only the material that will sustain in the environment. PVC piping is not recommended for compressed air; however, it can be used on the output side of the PHI controller as the bubble forming plate end is not sealed, so the air in the pipe is not compressed.
Page 11: Electronics
PANEL. AIR PRESSURE TO CONTROLLER AND ALL PIPING SHOULD BE AT 0 (ZERO) PSI TO PROCEED. The PHI controller is housed in a NEMA-4X enclosure. If the controller is mounted outside, it must have the optional heater. If it is not heated, the valves will freeze due to the moisture in the compressed air.
Page 12: Controller Overview
PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER CONTROLLER OVERVIEW The system has three parameters that control mixing efficiency: 1) Air Pressure 2) Pulse Duration 3) Pulse Frequency The system is shipped preset with the air regulator at 50 psi, pulse duration at 0.5 seconds, and pulse frequency of four pulses per minute.

Page 14: Mixing Mode Functional Description
PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER MIXING MODE FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The PHI 310 controller is a Unitronics Model V 120 PLC. It provides a simple method for operating personnel to change parameters of the mixing system without the need to learn computer codes or follow complicated programming maps.

Page 16 PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMING — TIME/MODE SCREEN Once you have navigated to this screen from the Main screen by depressing the numbre “1” key, you can set the current time on the PLC, set the “intermittent time” or select between operating the mixing...
Page 17 PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMING — TIME/MODE SCREEN — cont’d In the continuous mode, the mixing system will operate as configured 24 hours per day / 7 days per week. In the intermittent mode, the mixing system will only start mixing at the time set and for the amount of time set for each start time.
Page 18 PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMING — TIME/MODE SCREEN — cont’d When entering the start time, you need to enter values for a 24-hour clock. For example, a start time for 3 am would be entered as 0300 and a start time for 3 pm would be 1500. It is possible program 24 start times during the course of one day.
Page 19 PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMING — VALVE SELECT SCREEN The PHI 310 can have one or two pulsing valves. In order to determine if one or both pulsing valves are to operate, you navigate to this screen by depressing the number “2” when in the Main Screen. Once the Valve Select Screen is displayed, you need to place a number (1, 2 or 0) in the boxes SEQ1 and SEQ2.
Page 20 Pulse durations from 0.2 seconds to 0.8 seconds can be selected. There is one other control line in this screen and this is named SWITCH (1-0). This is only applicable to existing models of PHI 300 mixers that have hand switches on the outer door of the mixing valve enclosure.
Page 21 PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER SYNTESI REGULATOR & FILTER SERVICE Syntesi pressure regulator is based on the rolling diaphragm principle, which offers numerous advantages compared to systems using a flat diaphragm.  Increased stroke, allowing wider valve aperture and hence greater flow rate.
Page 22 PHI 310 SERIES CONTROLLER — SYNTESI REGULATOR & FILTER SERVICE cont’d The job of the filter is to retain liquid or solid impurities present in the compressed air. The incoming air is moved by the centrifuge unit, so that liquid particles, which are heavier, are projected against the walls of the container and force to adhere to it.

Note: There should be no filter or dryer between the receiver tank and the PHi enclosure. The only filter that can be in the feed air line is the filter in the PHi enclosure. All air lines to the PHi system from the receiver must be at least 1-inch ID.
Page 35  If the power supply is operational and PLC is not functioning, contact PHi Service. PLC could have failed. Note: If the system is known to be used in areas of extremely low temperatures, insulation is normally factory installed.
