Use only the hoses and connecting fittings supplied with the MP10H and accessories from QED - DO NOT MODIFY OR SUBSTITUTE THE FITTINGS OR HOSES. Do not supply the MP10H with compressed gas at pressures greater than 300 PSI. Be certain of the gas supply source pressure before you connect it to the MP10H.

Introduction/Quick Start Introduction / Quick start Introduction: The MP10H Micro Purge Basics Controller is used to operate QED Well Wizard™ bladder sampling pumps to purge and sample ground water. The MP10H has specific design features to make MicroPurge ™ sampling easier. These features include: MicroPurge Mode Operation Simple Increase / Decrease keys allow you to easily set the flow rate you need for each well.

Introduction/Quick Start Quick Start: Connect the light blue coiled pump hose to the fitting labeled AIR OUT on the MP10H. Connect the red (or black, depending on your air source) air supply hose to a compressed air or gas source and connect it to the fitting labeled AIR IN on the MP10H. Supply up to 125 psi compressed air or gas to the controller.
In wells in which this water column height is 5 feet or less, the pump is considered to be in a low-submergence application. QED sampling bladder pumps fill by hydrostatic pressure. As the inside of the pump's bladder fills with water, the bladder expands. This filling and expanding of the bladder is referred to as the "refill"...
Operation Operation Turning the MP10H Display On - The MP10H is powered on automatically by opening the lid. The MP10H displays an opening screen for 5 seconds, after which it displays the default Micro- Purge screen. At this point the MP10H is in MicroPurge mode (MP) but not cycling the pump. This initial state allows the user to adjust time and throttle settings before the pump starts to operate.
For deep wells manual mode (MN on the display), is useful for manually setting refill and dis- charge times on the controller as in traditional controllers (like previous model QED pump controllers). An example of the MP10H in Manual Mode is (shown in Figure 2). Manual Mode is also used when there are other conditions where one of the 165 possible preset times of ID and MP modes will not match your needs.

Operation Sample Collection The PAUSE key ( ) is used to freeze the controller action to allow the user time to collect a sample or carry out other steps that might be difficult if the controller continued to automatically cycle and cause the pump to produce water. While the controller is cycling, pressing the PAUSE key causes the controller to immediately enter the Hold state.
Operation Flow Throttle Use The flow throttle is used during sampling to regulate the pressure applied to the pump. Turning the throttle clockwise increases the pressure and counterclockwise decreases the pressure. The pressure gauge shows the approximate pressure applied to the pump. This allows easy adjustment of the throttle giving pressures that will produce gentle, non- turbulent flow (normally 5-10 psi higher than the minimum requirement of 0.5 psi per foot of pump depth).
This ID should be noted alongside the well identification (QED provides custom weatherproof ID badges for purchasers of our MP series of well caps) for quick setting of the optimal controller settings on the next visit by using the MP10H in ID mode.

Operation With this method, the number of complete pump cycles per minute is fixed, within a range of 1 to 6; 4 CPM is the default value which appears at startup. Each time the up/down arrow keys are pressed, the pump refill and discharge times are both automatically adjusted to maintain the selected CPM value.
Operation Here is an example of the use of the UP (faster) key: Refill Discharge Press (sec) (sec) 10.0 Each of the 165 possible ID settings corresponds to a unique ID that is associated with CPM, refill and discharge time values. For typical usage, only the UP/DOWN arrow keys are required to set flow, and the ID number is provided for easy, direct return to past settings.
Operation Flow Throttle Use The flow throttle is used during sampling to regulate the pressure applied to the pump. Turning the throttle clockwise increases the pressure and counterclockwise decreases the pressure. The pressure gauge shows the approximate pressure applied to the pump.This allows easy adjustment of the throttle giving pressures that will produce gentle, non-turbulent flow (normally 5-10 psi higher than the minimum requirement of 0.5 psi per foot of pump depth).

Operation The MP10H and MP30 are connected with a cable (see Figures 6 and 7). The MP30 is switched into mode and the water level probe is lowered to the desired maximum draw- down level. Limiting the maximum drawdown depth limits the differential head driving flow into the well and the velocity of the water flowing into the well from the surrounding formation important in MicroPurge sampling.
Operation If the MP30 is signaling the MP10H too frequently, the operator can slow down the pump flow rate by using the DOWN key (effectively increasing the pump refill time period). MP30 probe position may also be varied to provide a buffer zone for your draw-down limit and gauge rate of pumping effect on water level in the well.
Operation In this mode the CPM and UP, DOWN keys function differently. The CPM key becomes a key used to scroll between the one's and the ten's digits of the ID.The UP and DOWN keys are used to change the ID number (the MP10H has IDs that range from 1-165) up or down in value. Sampling in ID mode is the same as explained, above, for MP mode.
