ME3000-RPFS WATER BATCHING SYSTEM
Congratulations on choosing a
You will now join many thousands of satisfied customers worldwide.
Your system comprises:
Information sheets included:
1. ME3000 preset Batch Controller specification and options.
2. Installation Guide (plumbing/commissioning).
3. Basic electrical wiring guide.
4. Flowmeter brochure spec (chosen flowmeter normally RPFS)
5. (if ordered) PLC/computer interface spec brochure
6. ME3000 complete user manual
Prior to installation:
A. Consider a good viewing AND operating position for the ME3000 Batch Controller.
B. Remove the detachable 10-pin plug from the rear of the ManuFlo controller. Wire the 240vac supply.
Wire the Active/contact drive, Neutral and Earth from the solenoid valve or return from the external
contactor if driving a pump. If starting a pump, make sure the contactor is of sufficient amperage rating
to handle the pump current draw. Consider wiring an override button (N.O. with spring return) for
manual batching or top up of water, which will be counted by the controller display. See wiring
C. Install the flowmeter as per the installation guide found on the flowmeter brochure.
Install the Rota Pulse paddlewheel sensor (RPFS-P) in a straight pipe section, with the same diameter pipe as
the adaptor tee section, with 10x diameter before, and 5x diameter after, the sensor with no elbows, reducers,
valves or restrictions within this pipe run. Where the sensor is housed, the pipe must be full when measuring.
D. Use shielded cable only for connection between flowmeter and Batch Controller.
E. On pipe sizes over 50mm, consider using an air-assisted solenoid butterfly or angle seat valve, as
electrically-operated diaphragm valves can be very slow in closing (valves are available from
®). Preferably, use a 240vac solenoid coil, as the Manu controller provides 240vac to the coil when
started. Otherwise, consult
F. The ME3000 Batch Controllers, when used with flowmeters, have internal preset calibration
factory calibrated with water. When using other varying viscosity liquids with some
flowmeters, a calibration test will need to be performed, and the K-factor re-programmed to
the corresponding result. A calibration check must be performed prior to continuous use and
commissioning of the system (see installation guide). Recalibration may be necessary for
flowmeters other than PD or Magflow flowmeters. See page 13 of the manual.
If unsure on any aspect of installation or operation, call ManuFlo or your local installer.
