WARNING!! PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING 1. BEFORE STARTING PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE ENTIRELY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION ALSO, READ SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION RELATING TO OPTIONAL CONTROL EQUIPMENT CRANKCASE OIL PLUG The pump module crankcase vent has been plugged to prevent accidental oil leakage during shipment. Remove the plug and replace with the supplied vent cap before operating pump unit.

WATER QUALITY 2. WATER QUALITY To obtain the best performance, special consideration should be given to the quality of water used in a MicroCool fog system. For more information about Water Quality, consult a MicroCool specialist. MicroCool IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NOZZLE BLOCKAGE DUE TO POOR WATER QUALITY.

3. INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP MODULE Installation Procedure: Determine pump module location • Identify water supply/connection for the system • Determine routing of the high pressure manifold from the pump. • Establish drainage location from the pump. • Verify correct electrical power supply to the pump. •...

4.2.1 The circuit to the pump module must be dedicated and properly sized to carry the electrical load placed upon it by the pump motor. Please refer to the MicroCool Engineering Manual or electrical data plate on the motor to determine the amperage draw of the RHINO pump module.
6.1.5 For more details on the VFD drive, the readings and fault status, refer to the WEG Drive supplement at the end of this manual. 7. MicroCool RHINO - STARTING THE SYSTEM START UP 7.1.1 Install UV bulb prior to start up. (If installed) 7.1.2 The system must be primed and flushed before pressurization.
7.1.5 To start the RHINO module press F1 (run in Manual). The pump module will now run, there must be between 20 PSI (1.4 BAR) and 90 PSI (6.2 BAR) of pressure available to the pump at all times. Note- should the water pressure drop below the factory preset of 20 PSI, there is a 3 second delay before the system goes to “FAULT”.
9. SYSTEM OPERATION 9.1 FUNCTION KEYS F1 – Manual Run F2 – Auto Ready F3 – Stop/Reset F4 – Use to access parameter settings (hold for 3 seconds) ESC – Exit existing screen OK – Enter/Save F1 – MANUAL RUN F1 operates the pump manually, the pump will run continuously regardless of external controllers or internal time settings.
TIME CLOCK The internal time clock needs to be set to the correct local time. 9.1.1 SETTING DATE & TIME 1. Press and hold F4 for three seconds. 2. Display screen will change to day, time and date. 3. Press “ESC” once. 4.
9.3.1 SETTING 24 HOUR, 7 DAY CLOCK TIMERS 1. The following feature is available in “Set Param” and is labeled as “WEEK T 1”, “WEEK T 2”, “WEEK T 3”. The default setting is “OFF”. 2. Again, special care should be taken when programing this feature to avoid conflicting times between the three different timers.
SETTING INTERNAL TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROLS (OPTIONAL UPGRADE) 1. If this upgrade was ordered with the system, temperature and humidity control will be available in the controller. 2. To access, enable and set the temperature and humidity control. Follow the steps in "Setting Auxiliary Parameters”...

OF SIGHT GLASS P400-P500 Giant Pump ELECTRICAL MOTOR SERVICE Two types of electrical motors are used on the MicroCool pump modules. Some small motors have sealed rotor bearings and some require lubrication periodically. Refer to the motor nameplate for the type of motor. If the motor is equipped with external grease nipples refer to the chart below for lubrication instructions.
INLET WATER FILTERS The inlet water filter cartridges, 5-micron and 10-micron, must be inspected once per week or as needed (See page 27). The change interval of the filter cartridges depends entirely upon the cleanliness of the inlet water. When the “outlet gauge” shows a significant drop in pressure during operation it is time to change the filters. The filter cartridges should be changed at least once every year.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS ULTRAVIOLET FILTER (UV): High Intensity Light to kill bacteria and germs. CAUTION: DO NOT DIRECTLY LOOK AT THE UV LIGHT AS EYE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR The UV light filter is shipped with the UV bulb in a separate protective tube. The bulb is installed prior to starting the pump unit.
11. TROUBLE SHOOTING PUMP MODULE HAS STOPPED RUNNING Pump system has faulted out due to loss in supply water pressure or VFD fault. Pump will try re-start in 30 seconds. If the water pressure has not been restored, or the VFD fault automatically re-set, the pump system will remain off for another 30 seconds.

F0022 Wrong voltage supply; check if the data • on the inverter label complies with the power supply and parameter P0296. Supply voltage is too high, producing • voltage on the DC link above the maximum value (in P0004): Ud>410 Vdc in 200-240 Vac (P0296=0). Overvoltage fault on the intermediate circuit.
