Describes a potentially threatening situation. Could result in damage to property if preventative measures are not taken. The name plate affixed to the title page is identical to that on the gamma/ L pump supplied. This facilitates matching the correct operating instructions manual to the correct pump.
The gamma/ L may be used only in compliance with the technical data and specifications given in the operating instructions! It is forbidden to use the gamma/ L for any other purpose, or to modify it in any way! The gamma/ L is not suitable for dosing gases or solids!
Storage, Transport and Unpacking Transport and store the gamma/ L in the original packaging! Protect the packed gamma/ L from moisture and the effects of chemicals! Environmental conditions for storage and transport: Storage and transport temperature: –10 bis +50 °C Humidity: <...
Please acquaint yourself with the gamma/ L control elements with the help of the “control elements and key functions” overview! Indicators The LCD display supports the operation and setting of the gamma/ L with a range of indicators: Stop Pause...

This auxiliary frequency overrides all other pre-set stroke rate frequencies. “Flow” function: Stops the gamma/ L when the flow is insufficient. In the SET menu, the number of failed strokes is entered after which the pump will be turned off.

This indicator is lit as long as the gamma/ L is operating correctly. Warning indicator (yellow) This warning light appears if the gamma/ L electronics detect a situation that could lead to a fault, e.g. “liquid levels low 1st stage”.
Observe applicable national directives during installation! Assembling dosing pump TAKE CARE • The gamma/ L should be fixed in such a way as to prevent vibration! • Suction and discharge valve must be upright (bleed valve in self-bleed liquid ends)! •...

Assembly of foot valve Cut the free suction end so that the foot valve hangs just above the container base; for chemicals with impurities or sedimentation at the bottom, the foot valve should be positioned well above this layer. ProMinent Page 7 ®...
As overload protection for the discharge tubing, it is advisable to fit a relief valve feeding back into the chemical supply container, ® e.g. a ProMinent multifunction valve. • Check that the length and cross section of the tubing are correct! 6.2.2...
Parallel connection to inductive power consumers If the gamma/ L is connected to the mains in parallel with inductive power consumers (e.g. solenoid valve, motor) they must be electrically isolated. This will avoid damage caused by induction and voltage surges when switching off.

Otherwise, pin 1 and pin 4 must be connected. “Auxiliary frequency” function The gamma/ L runs at a pre-set stroke rate when pin 5 and pin 4 are connected to one another. Otherwise, pin 1 and pin 4 must be connected.

The relay can be retrofitted and is ready to operate after inserting the relay component (see section 6.4). The gamma/ L is delivered ex works with default settings for a N/C relay. If an alternative switch function is required the gamma/ L can be reprogrammed at ProMinent.
Page 23
Assembly and Installation Place the gamma/ L on a firm surface with the relay opening press-out section at the top (see fig. 15:a) Place a punch (dia. 8-15 mm) in the centre of the relay opening press-out section , and strike briefly and sharply with a hammer (approx.

Before setting up the gamma/ L you can check the current settings of adjustable values. Press the i key (“i” as in “info”) when the gamma/ L is in continuous display mode (There is no P key symbol in the LCD display): Each time you press the i key you will see a different continuous display.
You can select three signal-processing methods: • 0 - 20 mA: at 0 mA the gamma/ L does not operate at 20 mA the gamma/ L operates at 180 strokes/min. Between these two extremes the stroke rate is proportional to the electrical signal.
Page 27
20 mA the gamma/ L operates at 180 strokes/min. Between these two extremes the stroke rate is proportional to the electrical signal. For signals of below 3.8 mA a fault will be detected and the gamma/ L will stop (e.g. cable break). •...
LCD display. The gamma/ L will cease to operate below I1. Above I2, the gamma/ L will operate at F2. Between I1 and I2 the stroke rate between is F1 and F2, proportional to the signal current.

Settings Contact – identity code: external 1:1 In the “contact - identity code: external 1:1” version the gamma/ L makes precisely 1 stroke per pulse (identity code: external 1:1). No entry possible. Contact – identity code: external with pulse control In the “contact - identity code: external with external pulse control”...
Settings The number of input pulses which have not been processed are stored by the gamma/ L in the stroke memory. When the STOP/START key is pressed or the “pause” function is activated, the stroke memory is deleted (this can be avoided using the “memory” extension function, see below).
Select “ON” using an arrow key and change to the next menu option using the P key To commence calibration, press the P key. The gamma/ L starts to pump and displays the number of strokes (“STOP” appears at regular intervals)
Settings for the “pressure levels” function (PRESS menu) Continuous display The programmable function “pressure levels” is used to reduce the rated pressure of the gamma/ L. CAUTION • The rated pressure can be considerably exceeded at stroke lengths of below 100 %! The rated pressure relates to a stroke length of 100 %.
The flow menu only appears when a dosing monitor is connected to the “dosing monitor” terminal. This dosing monitor registers each discharge stroke of the gamma/ L at the discharge connector and transmits it back to the gamma/ L. If this response transmission is serially omitted for a period set in the FLOW menu (due to failure or below-minimum dosing) the gamma/ L stops.
Connect suction tubing, but not discharge tubing, to liquid end Switch on the gamma/ L and allow to run at maximum stroke length and stroke rate, until the liquid end is full and free from air bubbles (a little feed chemical will seep out of the...

Current settings will be deleted. Change to settings mode WeIf you press the P key for 2 s in any continuous display the gamma/ L will change to settings mode (see section 7). If CODE 1 is set, the code must be entered after pressing the P key.

Empty the liquid end (turn the unit upside down and let the feed chemical run out, rinse with a suitable material: rinse the liquid end thoroughly after use with hazardous materials!). When gamma/ L is running set the stroke length to 0 % (the drive axis is then set). Switch off the gamma/ L.
