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 Ibex pump module.
WARNING: The control box is completely wired for immediate operation. After high voltage wiring is connected and the unit is supplied with proper water pressure, pressing F1 will immediately activate the pump operation. 5. Standard wiring diagrams for MicroCool IBEX pump modules ...
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 IBEX - STARTING THE SYSTEM START UP 7.1.1 Install UV bulb prior to start up. (If UV is provided) 7.1.2 The system must be primed and flushed before pressurization.
8. PRESSURIZING THE SYSTEM ABOUT PRESSURE REGULATOR The regulator is set as a safety valve should the system pressure exceed IBEX: 1,100 PSI (75.8 Bar). At extremely low flow, the regulator will bypass water back into the pump head as the VFD drive has reached its minimum Frequency (Hertz).
9. System Operation 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. 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.
24 Hour, 7 Day Clock Time The controller contains of three 24 hour, 7 day time clocks that can be set to start and stop the pump unit on pre-set days and times as required. Special care should be taken to not program conflicting times. 9.4 Setting 24 Hour, 7 Day Clock Timers 1.
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”...

1. First turn the black panel latch counter clockwise to release. 2. Using a flat screw driver turn the black screw release counter clockwise about 1/8” and hold it in that position. 3. Pull the door open with the red disconnect switch in the vertical position. 4.

P56, P59 Giant PumpSeries Figure 20 – Crankcase Oil Levels 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. 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.
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.
VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE (VFD) FAULT CODES DRIVE DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE CAUSES DISPLAY F0021 • Wrong voltage supply; check if the data on the inverter label complies with the power supply and parameter PO296. Supply voltage too low, producing • voltage on the DC link below the Undervoltage fault on the intermediate circuit.
