Installation

Precautions

Handling
Do NOT lift the pump by proximity cables, quick exhaust valves or air tubing.

Installation Orientation
PXH030 pumps must be installed in an upright position. The check valves are actuated by gravity and/or flow, and they will not seat if the pump is not upright. Do not install pumps within 3 ft of each other or it may interfere with proximity sensors.

Timer Mode
PXH030 pumps require an end-of-stroke detection mechanism (pressure switch) to prevent over-stroking in timer mode. Operating a PXH030 in timer mode without stroke detection will void the pump warranty.

Required Air Flow (Shuttle Valve)
PXH030 pumps require 1/4 in minimum orifice with unrestricted airflow.

Required Air Flow (Solenoid Valve)
PXH030 pumps require a 0.75 Cv solenoid. Using a reduced Cv will reduce flow rates. Using a valve with more than 20% greater Cv will change operating parameters, reduce pump life and void the warranty.

Under Supply of Air
PXH030 pumps operate erratically or stall when the air supply is insufficient. Ensure the use of air supply pressures higher than averaged air consumption lines in performance charts. Air supply lines and fittings must meet minimal inner diameter requirements shown in the installation instructions.

Air Supply Pressure
Operating PXH030 pumps ~35% below max air pressure may significantly extend pump life. PXH030 pumps require 20 psi minimum air pressure. Operation above 5.5 Bar (80 psi) may damage the pump and void the warranty.

Using Proximity Sensors
Pumps using a proximity sensor are not intrinsically safe and do not qualify for use in explosion-proof environments.

Suction Lift
PXH030 pumps have an initial suction lift of 3 ft. For best results minimize suction lift.

Liquid Inlet/Outlet Connections
PXH030 liquid ports are not NPT nor any other standard. The use of connectors other than those supplied by White Knight will damage the pump and void the warranty.

Liquid Line Restriction
PXH030 pumps may be controlled by closing liquid outlet lines. However, restricting liquid supply lines increases wear and should be avoided. Do NOT pump against a closed liquid inlet. It will damage the pump and void the warranty.

Running Dry
PXH030 pumps use the pumped liquid to lubricate their shafts. The pumps will cycle faster and wear more than normal when run dry, which may cause damage and loss of self-prime abilities. Standard models should not be run dry after startup and are not warranted under dry run conditions. Dry-run capable PXHSD030 models may run dry for short periods. The warranty of dry-run models is one year. Extended warranties are available.

Pulse Dampener with Shuttle Valve
Air supply pressure to PXH030 pumps should be at least ten psi higher than the liquid line pressure when using a pulsation dampener. Failure to do so may cause erratic operation.

Cross Contamination
PXH030 pumps use porous material that may retain chemicals. Take precautions to avoid cross-contamination.

Warnings
Pressurized Material
Pumps in use contain pressurized materials. Eliminate liquid and air pressure via shut off valves before pump is serviced or removed from the system.

High Temperature

Heat may transfer to exterior surfaces when pumps operate with high- temperature fluids. Avoid direct contact with the pump when high-temperature fluids are present.

Hazardous Chemical
Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling pump. Reference Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for information specific to your chemicals.

Loud Noise
Pump exhaust air contributes to work area noise levels. Only operate pumps with approved muffler media, and use ear protection in noisy conditions.

Advantages

Head Pressure / Dead-Head
PXH030 pumps can be controlled by adjusting their liquid outlet pressures and can be installed with head pressures up to dead-head (e.g. equal liquid and air pressures) with no damage to the pump.

Thermal Cycling
PXH030 pumps require no maintenance when operated within their performance range, even in thermal cycling applications.

Environment & System

Oversized Inlet Line
Pumps operate optimally with liquid inlet lines larger than the liquid outlet lines. This reduces strain on the bellows and may reduce pulsation in the pump outlet.

Clean Supply Air (CDA)
PXH030 pumps require use of Class 2 air for particles and moisture per ISO 8573-1. Use 10-micron filter; maintain -40°C dew point. A point-of-use filter is recommended during first six months of operation in new fabs/systems due to high risks of debris that can damage pumps and void the warranty.

Flammable Solvents
PXH030 pumps are not constructed from conductive materials. System that pump flammable solvents should be properly grounded to avoid ignition by static charge. A River’s Edge test of isolative pumps with flammable liquids indicated that liquids must be grounded and other procedures should be followed. Copy of test available.

Pumping Liquids Near Boiling Point
Minimizing suction lift reduces pulsation and the potential for boiling or outgassing of liquid in the inlet of the pump. Although reciprocating pumps can pull suction lift, pump performance and life increase when suction lift is minimized or eliminated.

Abrasive Slurry
Pumping abrasive slurry may accelerate wear of components. PXH030 pumps are warranted when used with slurry. However, normal wear is not covered by warranty.

Environmental Temperature
PXH030 pumps are rated for 0°C (32°F) – 50°C (122°F) environmental temperatures. Do not freeze fluid in pump. Operation below 0°C may accelerate wear. Normal wear is not covered by warranty.

Proximity Sensor Installation

1. Remove the QEV plug.

2. Attach QEV. Thread in NPT. Do not over-tighten.
   Proximity sensors ship already installed in their housings. Follow steps 2.1-2.3 if sensors are removed from their housings.

3. Ensure the proximity sensor is properly installed in the housing. Tighten to light contact. Tighten the lock nut to the housing.

4. Attach sensor assembly to pump head. Use a crescent wrench to tighten the cap. Tighten to bottom out. Do not over-tighten.

5. Repeat steps for both pump heads.

Sensor Installation

1. Ensure the O-ring is set on the cap.
2. Place cap into housing.
3. Ensure the proximity sensor is properly installed in the housing. Tighten to light contact. Tighten lock nut to the housing.

Installation Instructions

1. Set the lever to the up position. Slide the base plate forward or pump the body backward.

2. Lift the pump off of the base plate.

3. Screw base plate to surface with 3/8 in or 10 mm socket head cap screws into pre-drilled holes.
   Pull-back dismount is standard. See steps 3.1-3.3 for forward dismount.

4. Set pump on base knobs; slide it forward. Set lever to down position.

5. Attach fittings to pump. Tighten to 20 inch-lbs.

6. Attach tubes and fittings per manufacturer instructions. Use backer wrench to hold fitting in place at pump.

7. Set air line via 1/4 in FNPT ports on quick exhaust valves. The line must be 3/16 in minimum orifice.

Push-Forward Dismount Configuration Setup

Replace step 4 with steps 3.1-3.3 to re-configure the base plate to push forward dismount.

1. Move knobs to opposite sides.
2. Set pump on base knobs; slide it backward.
3. Move lever down to the locked position.

Install with Rigid Base Plate

• Requires push-forward dismount configuration (steps 3.1-3.3)

1. Remove L bracket. Set the lever in the neutral (up) position.
2. Slide the pump forward; lift it off the base plate.
3. Fix the base plate to the workstation. See step 4 above.
4. Return pump to base plate.
5. Move the lock lever to the down position. Reattach L bracket. Tighten to 12 in-lb.

Liquid Inlet/Outlet
Liquid ports are not NPT or any other standard. The use of connectors other than those supplied by White Knight will damage the pump.

Control & Monitoring

Programmable Control
White Knight CPT-1 controllers monitor and adjust run mode, flow rate, leak detection and other pump operations.

D10 Amplifier Electrical Hookups & Dimensions
White Knight recommends Expert™ D10 amplifier for use with fibre optic stroke and leak detection assemblies.

Proximity Detection Wiring Information

• 10-30 V DC
• ≤ 200 mA
• NPN-normally open
• Listed IND.CONT.EQ 81u2
• For use in the secondary of a Class 2 source of supply
• The use of Proximity Sensors does not qualify for intrinsically safe environments.

Shift Logic for Proximity Pumps

Proximity End Stroke Operation

• The proximity sensors on the pump can both be seen in the middle of the stroke; thus it is required that the solenoid not be switched until just one sensor is seen.
• The vertical line denotes when the solenoid was switched.

Conductivity Leak Detection Installation

Leaks are identified if conductive fluid contacts a sensor. Sensor provides a Sink (NPN) or Source (PNP) signal, depending on the wire setup. See the wiring diagrams below. Conductive leak detection does not qualify for use in explosion-proof environments. Conductive fluid is required. See below for elbow out configuration.

1. Remove leak adapter from the assembly.
2. Replace NPT plug in “L” port with probe. Hand Tighten. Attach cable to the signal translator (e.g. PLC).

Fiber Optic Leak Detection Installation

D10 amplifier must be calibrated before attaching fiber optic probes to the pump. Fiber optic sensors can melt if used at >130°C (266°F), causing leak detection failure.

See below for elbow-out configuration.

1. Remove the leak adapter and leak detect probe from the fiber optic assembly.
2. For straight-out configuration replace the NPT plug-in “L” port with the probe. Hand-tighten.
3. Insert the fibre optic cable until it contacts the bottom of the probe.
4. Lower ferrule and gripper until snug against the probe. Hand tighten female gripper nut.
5. Open the top and slide the front face of the D10 up. Press the fiber optic ends into the holes on its front. Slide the face down to lock cables in place.
6. Replace NPT plug in “L” port with elbow adapter.
7. Attach fiber optic or conductivity leak detect probe per instructions above.
