Observe the storage conditions for transport as well. Even if packed, always protect the device from moisture and the action of chemicals.
INTRODUCTION VMS MF series VMS MF is the multifunctional series because it allows different working modes to be set: Constant, Divide, Multiply, ppm, perc, mlq, batch, volt, mA, Timer. In addition, you can: - set an upkeep dosing in case of system downtime (ppm menu - upkeep setting)
INSTALLATION Installing the Installation and commissioning takes place in 5 phases: dosing pump Pump positioning Hydraulic connection (hoses, level probe, injection valve) Electrical connection Priming Programming Before installation, check that all necessary precautions have been taken for the safety of the installer. ALWAYS wear protective masks, gloves, safety goggles and if necessary additional PPE during all installation phases and while handling chemicals!
HYDRAULIC CONNECTION Level probe The level probe is supplied already assembled and is equipped with a foot filter that prevents sediment from being sucked in. Place the level probe on the bottom of the container. Connect the BNC on the level probe to the level probe input on the pump. If there is a mixer in the container, a suction lance must be installed.
The suction hose must be as short as possible and installed in a vertical Suction hose / foot filter position to prevent the suction of air bubbles! connection Completely unscrew the suction ring on the pump body and remove the components required for assembly with the hose: fixing ring, hose lock, hose holder.
Tighten the hose on the pump body by screwing the ring nut using only the strength of your hands alone. Connect the other end of the hose to the injection valve using the same procedure. Injection valve The injection valve must be installed on the system at the water inlet point.
Connecting Refer to the Figure 9 for the position of the delivery and bleed hoses. hydraulic The assembly procedure for the suction, delivery and bleed hoses is the same as components described above. on self- purging mod.

Electrical connection Preliminary THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OF THE PUMP MUST BE CARRIED OUT checks BY SPECIALISED PERSONNEL. Before connecting the pump: Make sure that the values listed on the pump nameplate are compatible with those of the mains. The pump nameplate is located on the side.
Connect the “BNC” of the external signal to the “INPUT” connector. How to connect the ): - CREEN CABLE BRAID pump ENTRAL CONDUCTOR This signal can be used in one of the following modes: - Meter - Batch mode start contact - Voltage input volt mode - Current input mA - Stand-by input in Constant mode...
PUMP BODY PRIMING How to prime To prime the pump without coming into contact with the chemical: the pump Connect all hoses (delivery, suction and discharge hose). Open the bleed valve by turning the bleed knob fully. Power the pump. If an activation delay (DELAY) has been set, the display will show a countdown.

CONSTANT The pump doses at a constant frequency in relation to the values of “SPH” (strokes per hour), “SPM” (strokes per minute) or “LPH” (litres per hour) set during programming. WHEN In the absence of an external signal, hourly dosing of a product in the desired quantity must be carried out •...
DIVIDE The pulses supplied by a meter connected to the pump are divided by the value set during programming and determine the dosing frequency. WHEN In the presence of an external signal sending too many pulses (small size water meter, e.g. CTFI model), it is necessary to divide them to dose the correct amount of product PARAMETERS...
The pulses supplied by a meter connected to the pump are multiplied by the MULTIPLY value set during programming and determine the dosing frequency. WHEN In the presence of an external signal sending too little pulses (large size water meter, e.g. CWFA model), it is necessary to multiply them to dose the correct amount of product PARAMETERS...
The pulses supplied by a meter connected to the pump determine the dosage according to the PPM value, product concentration and quantity for each single stroke set during programming. WHEN In the presence of an external signal sending pulses, it is necessary to dose the correct amount of product by specifying only the PPM (parts per million) and leaving the pump to manage the incoming pulses...
PERC The pulses supplied by a meter connected to the pump determine the dosage according to the PERC (%), product concentration and quantity for each single stroke set during programming. WHEN In the presence of an external signal sending pulses, it is necessary to dose the correct amount of product by specifying only the PERC (percentage) and leaving the pump to manage the incoming pulses...
The pulses supplied by a meter connected to the pump determine the dosage according to the MLQ (millilitres per quintal), product concentration and quantity for each single stroke set during programming. WHEN In the presence of an external signal sending pulses, it is necessary to dose the correct amount of product by specifying only the MLQ (millilitres per quintal) and leaving the pump to manage the incoming pulses...
BATCH Pulses supplied from an external contact start the pump according to the strokes required to dose the quantity of product set during programming or for the desired quantity. For best result, calibrate the pump carefully (test - PROG 2 SETUP menu). WHEN To start the pump for dosing a certain amount of product after receiving a pulse from external...
