Transcal
Operation
1. Remove the cam lever plug and connect the
chemical probe line or the Micromatic coupler to
the cam lever fitting.
2. Ensure that the yellow t-handle on the Transcal
station is aligned to 'FILL'.
3. Add approximately 500 L of clean water to the
main spray tank.
4. Ensure that the red handle on the pump 3-way
valve is pointing towards the suction hose coming
from the main tank sump. Close all ball valves and
set pressure to 110 PSI.
5. OPEN the agitator and venturi valves on the
pressure delivery station.
6. CLOSE the bypass and induction hopper valves
on the pressure delivery station.
7. OPEN the chemical probe valve at the Transcal
station.
8. Operate the pump at the lowest speed necessary
to generate 85 PSI delivery pressure (as displayed
on the manifold pressure gauge). Do not run
faster than 540 RPM. The higher the pump
delivery pressure, the greater the venturi suction
and the quicker the probe will transfer the
chemical. The delivery pressure should not exceed
110 PSI as determined by the pressure relief valve
setting.
9. Place the probe in the chemical drum and open
the valve on the chemical probe or connect
the Micromatic fitting to the outlet on the
envirodrum and push the handle down so that
it locks into position and opens the valve on the
envirodrum.
10. The chemical should now be transferring into the
Transcal tank.
11. When the required amount of chemical has been
transferred, CLOSE the valve on the chemical
probe. Remove it from the chemical drum and
then OPEN the valve on the chemical probe
again. This will drain residual chemical from hose.
If chemical has been transferred from an envirodrum,
push the handle on the Micromatic coupling down
slightly and then up. This will make the handle lift up
and close the valve on the envirodrum. This should
be done during successive fills into the Transcal tank.

When finished transferring chemical, turn the fitting
in order to release it from the envirodrum.
TRANSCAL TANK OVERFILLING
CAUTION: Ensure that the appropriate protective
clothing is worn, as per the chemical label.
In the event of over-filling the Transcal tank, a small
piece of supplied black 25 mm hose can be fitted to
the ball valve on the bottom of the Transcal to drain
away any excess chemical. To perform this you:
1. Turn the Transcal t-handle on the Transcal station
to OFF.
2. Close the venturi valve on the EZ control
pressure delivery station.
3. With the Transcal t-handle on the Transcal station
to OFF, and wearing the appropriate safety
clothing, undo the cam lever fittings on the ball
valve on the bottom of the Transcal station and
remove the black 25 mm hose. This is behind the
Transcal station cover and can be accessed from
underneath.
4. Attach the short length of black drain hose via
the cam lever connection.
5. Place an appropriate container under the drain
hose.
6. Turn the t-handle on the Transcal station to
'EMPTY'.
7. After draining the required amount of chemical,
remove the drain hose, replace the vacuum
supply hose and resume operating the Transcal.
The raw chemical should be returned to its
original container.
