Installation

2.1 Precautions
Handling
Do NOT lift pump by proximity cables, quick exhaust valves nor air tubing.
Installation Orientation
PXH060 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
PXH060 pumps require an end of stroke detection mechanism (pressure switch) to prevent over stroking in timer mode.
Operating a PXH060 in timer mode without stroke detection will void the pump warranty.
Required Air Flow (Shuttle Valve)
PXH060 pumps require 1/4 in minimum orifice with unrestricted air flow.
Required Air Flow (Solenoid Valve)
PXH060 pumps require a 1.5 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
PXH060 pumps operate erratically or stall when air supply is insufficient. Ensure 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 PXH060 pumps ~35% below max air pressure may significantly extend pump life. PXH060 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
PXH060 pumps have initial suction lift of 3 ft. For best results minimize suction lift.
Liquid Inlet/Outlet Connections
PXH060 liquid ports are not NPT nor any other standard. Use of connectors other than those supplied by White Knight will damage the pump and void the warranty.
Liquid Line Restriction
PXH060 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
PXH060 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 warrantied under dry run conditions. Dry-run capable PXHSD060 models may run dry for short periods.
Warranty of dry-run models is one-year.
Extended warranties are available.
Pulse Dampener with Shuttle Valve
Air supply pressure to PXH060 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
PXH060 pumps use porous material that may retain chemicals. Take precautions to avoid cross contamination.

2.2 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.

2.3 Advantages
Head Pressure / Dead-Head
PXH060 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
PXH060 pumps require no maintenance when operated within their performance range, even in thermal cycling applications.
2.4 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)
PXH060 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 warranty.
Flammable Solvents
PXH060 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. PXH060 pumps are warrantied when used with slurry. However, normal wear is not covered by warranty.
Environmental Temperature
PXH060 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.

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 fiber optic stroke and leak detection assemblies.

3.1 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
• Use of Proximity Sensors does not qualify for intrinsically safe environments.

3.2 Shift Logic for Proximity Pumps

During pump operation, the timing of the solenoid valve should be dependent on sensors with no time delays. There should be no delay between reading the sensor signal and actuating the solenoid valve.

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.
• Vertical line denotes when the solenoid was switched.

3.3 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 required.

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

3.4 Fiber Optic Leak Detection Installation
See below for elbow out configuration.
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 detect failure.

1. Remove leak adapter and leak detect probe from fiber optic assembly..

2. For straight out configuration replace NPT plug in “L” port with the probe. Hand-tighten.

3. Insert the fiber 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.

1.1 Replace NPT plug in “L” port with elbow adapter.
1.2 Attach fiber optic or conductivity leak detect probe per instructions above.

• Proximity switch ordered separately.
  Proximity switch is required for operation. Standard configuration does NOT include proximity switch.
  For applications requiring the NPN signal, White Knight recommends the use of a signal converter similar to Balluf part number BAE002H. Timer mode operation requires end-of-stroke detection. Use of timer mode without stroke detection voids the warranty.
  Operating the pump without the included quick exhaust valves (QEVs) voids pump warranty. Customers may use their own QEVs with the optional NPT adapter.
