1 General Overview
This manual, the 6000 Series Pump System User’s Manual, provides operating and maintenance
instructions for the "hardware" of all 6000 Series pump systems. A separate manual, the PumpWorks
User’s Manual, discusses the software which operates all Quizix pump systems.
This chapter provides an introduction to the 6000 Series Pump System and includes an overview of its
components.
1.1 Introduction
Of the three lines of pump systems manufactured by Chandler Engineering, the 6000 Series is the
largest. It is designed for users who require greater flow rates or larger fluid volumes than the 5000
Series provides. Several different pump cylinder models are available in the 6000 Series with different
maximum flow rate and pressure specifications (see Figure 1-1).

Like the QX Series and 5000 Series, the 6000 Series Pump System provides continuous, pulse–free
fluid flow for usein core analysis and related research. Key features ofthe system include the following:
•The 6000 Series Pump System is designed for pumping fluids at high pressure and
provides precise pressure control.
•The system works well with water, oil, or brine. Fluid-wetted parts are available in
Hastelloy (C-276) for users pumping highly corrosive fluids.
•Sophisticated electronics provide highly accurate fluid flow rates and volume
measurement.
•The system is operated using Quizix PumpWorks©Software which runs using
Windows operating systems. The software provides the user with complete control
over all operating parameters.
•The pump system can be operated in many different operating modes, including
Constant Rate, Constant Pressure, and Constant Delta Pressure. The system can
operate in both directions: either delivering or receiving fluid.
•Quizix PumpWorks software permits system–level integration of the user’s entire
experiment. The user can add additional valves or pressure transducers and export data
using a host link, Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), or an OPC interface.

Chandler Engineering
6000 SERIES PUMP MANUAL
[8]
•A high temperature( (160° C) option is available, which allows the user to heat the
entire pump cylinder.
•The pump system is expandable and is designed to allow the user to add additional
pump cylinders, as their needs change.
1.2 Primary Components
The 6000 Series Pump System is designed as a modular component system. Systems can contain
anywhere from one to eight pump controllers. Two pump cylinders are necessary for continuous flow
of a single fluid. The primary components of 2-cylinder 6000 Series Pump Systems is as follows:
Q6200 (2–Cylinder) Pump System
2 Q6 Pump Cylinders (choice of models)
2 constant volume valves
2 pressure transducers
1 CN-6000 Pump Controller
1 USB/Serial Expander/Isolator
Plumbing and cables
PumpWorks software
1 PC-compatible computer
Figure 1-2 …
…
The 6000 Series ambient temperature pump cylinder is shown in Figure 1-33. The 6000 Series high
temperature pump cylinder is shown in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-3 Pump Cylinder Side View, Ambient Temperature

Chapter 1
GENERAL OVERVIEW
[9]
Figure 1-4 Pump Cylinder Side View, High Temperature
NOTE ON NOMENCLATURE: The terms "pump cylinder" and "cylinder" are used interchangeably
throughout this manual, and refer to the entire mechanical component used to pump fluid, as shown in
Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4. Pump cylinder part numbers begin with a "Q". For example, Q6210.
The term "pump system" refers to one or more pump cylinders together with one or more pump
controllers, valves, transducers, plumbing and PumpWorks software. The part number for an entire
pump system begins with "Q". For example, a 6200 10K pump system includes two Q6 10K cylinders.
The number of pump cylinders in a system is given by the number following the "6".
In a pump system with two or more pump cylinders, the cylinders in a pair are typically labeled "A"
and "B" because most users operate their pump cylinders in pairs for continuous fluid flow. For
example, a Q6200 would include two pump cylinders labeled 1A, 1B.
A 6000 Series Pump System includes the following components:
Q6000 Pump Cylinder and Motor Driver
The pump cylinder is the basic building block of the system. It is the component that performs the
actual pumping. A system can include any number of pump controllers, from one to eight,
depending on the type of experiments the user plans to conduct. (Each controller controls up to two
pump cylinders.)
A system can operate using pumpcylinders individually, in pairs, or as coordinated pairs. Generally,
a pair of pump cylinders is used to provide continuous flow of one fluid. Working as a pair, one
pump cylinder delivers the fluid while the other pump cylinder fills with fluid, pre-pressurizes, and
waits for its turn to deliver fluid.
The motor driver is included as part of the Q6000 pump cylinder. The motor driver is mounted to
the rear of the pump cylinder next to the motor.
The sensor and driver cables of the Q6000 are connected to a CN-6000 Pump Controller. The CN-
6000 Pump Controller can be used to control two Q6000 pump cylinders and can be conveniently
mounted on the side of the pump housing.

Chandler Engineering
6000 SERIES PUMP MANUAL
[10]
CN–6000 Pump Controller
The pump controller is the “brains” of the entire system. It coordinates the operation of all the pump
components and operates the system according to settings made by the user via PumpWorks. The
pump controller is a two–channel unit, which operates two pump cylinders. Additional pump
controllers are used to control up to eight pump systems which can be operated from PumpWorks.
USB/Serial Expander/Isolator
The USB/Serial Expander/Isolator is a device which expands one serial/USB port of a computer
into four serial ports. It allows the user to connect up to four pump controllers to a single computer
serial/USB port. It also isolates the electrical signals (generated by the computer) from the data
signals that go to the user’s pumps.
PumpWorks Software and Computer
The pump system includes PumpWorks software©, which runs using Windows operating systems.
The user may supply the computer or purchase a computer system from Chandler Engineering with
the pump system.
PumpWorks is menu–driven and easy to use. The software allows the user to set operating
parameters, such as fluid flow rate or pressure. PumpWorks provides the user with full system
status information at all times. Data logging capabilities are available, allowingthe user to automate
data collection. Many other useful features are included and described in the PumpWorks User’s
Manual.
Valves, Transducers and Plumbing
For each pump cylinder, the system includes one air–actuated three–way valve, two pilot solenoids,
and one pressure transducer. All necessary plumbing and cables are also included.
Support Stand
The 6000 Series ambient temperature pump cylinders do not have a support stand but are designed
to be attached together in vertical stacks and can be put on a bench or cart. They can be supplied
with ball casters.
The 6000 Series high temperature pump cylinders do not have a support stand but are designed to
stand alone for oven installation and come with a heat shield and ball casters.

[12]
2.1 Unpacking the System
To unpack the 6000 Series Pump System, first prepare a location for the pump cylinders. Ensure that
the location can support the weight of the pump cylinders and associated equipment. When
assembled, each pump cylinder weighs about 80 kg (175 lbs.) A cart can be used if it is desired to be
able to move the pump cylinders.
To unpack the system, do the following:
1. Open the wooden crate by removing the screws on the top of the crate. Then remove
the crate lid.
2. Each crate contains an inner wooden box. Remove the lid on this box and lay out the
components.
Figure 2-1 …
IMPORTANT
The valve assembly is placed inside the wooden crate near the pump motor or
beneath the motor driver. Move the valve assembly to a safe location before the
pump cylinder is removed.
3. Check that no cables are caught on the crate and that the pump cylinder moves freely
when lifted. Each pump cylinder has two attached lifting rings. Use a crane, or block
and tackle, to lift the pump cylinders from the crate to a cart. Now transfer the pump
cylinders to your prepared location.

Chapter 2
SYSTEM SETUP
[13]
CAUTION
To keep dust out of the pump cylinders, red plastic plugs are inserted in the open holes
of the pump cylinder. These plugs are not rated for high temperature( use. The
continuous use rating of these plugs is 66° C (150° F). Remove all red plastic plugs
before operating above this temperature. For high temperature pump systems, there
are three medium plugs, and one large plug located on each pump cylinder.
2.2 Inspecting Your Pump
Before doing anything else, STOP and inspect your new pump system components.
Do not install your new pump if you suspect it has been damaged in transit.
To make sure no damage has occurred to the pump system during shipping, inspect the components.
No scratches or dents should be visible. The tubing should not be crimped or have any irregular bends.
It is your responsibility to notify the shipping company immediately of any damage.
• Check the crates and boxes for damage. Then check the corresponding area on the system
components. A component may have been damaged, even if the box has only slight
damage. If the pump is damaged in any way, notify the shipping company.
After informing the shipping company of any damage, also inform Chandler Engineering. You can
reach us at the following numbers:
Phone: [phone]:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST
Fax: [phone] hours a day, 7 days a week
E-mail: [e-mail] 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
2.3 Stacking the Pump Cylinders
The 6000 Series Pump Cylinders can be stacked on top of each other. For users with two or more
ambient temperature cylinders, it is preferable to stack the pump cylinders in pairs. When installing
high temperature pump cylinders through an oven wall, it is usually more convenient to construct
shelves that hold individual pump cylinders rather than stacks.
If the cylinders are stacked in pairs, be sure to place the pump cylinder designated "A" (which has the
CN-6000 Pump Controller mounted on its side) on the BOTTOM. The pump cylinder designated "B"
should be placed on TOP. The "B" pump cylinder typically has the valve manifold and pilot solenoids
attached to it. Thus, in a typical stacked pair, the pump controller will be on the “A" cylinder on the
bottom and the valve manifold will be directly above it on the "B" cylinder.

Chandler Engineering
6000 SERIES PUMP MANUAL
[14]
Figure 2-2
The pump cylinders are connected together with two angled mounting brackets and two straight
mounting brackets and fastened with metric socket screws. The brackets are attached loosely to the
pump cylinders during shipping. Contact Chandler Engineering if you need more brackets.
Figure 2-3
There are two angled mounting brackets which will be connected to pump cylinder A when shipped.
One is located on the front side and one is located on the back side. Both are located between pump
between cylinders A and B near the pump housing, as shown in Figure 2-2 above. A close-up of the
angled mounting brackets is shown in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-4 …
Figure 2-5
The two straight mounting brackets, shown in Figure 2-4, are located behind the pump
controller between cylinders A and B. Chandler Engineering suggests that you use a long
handled hex driver tool to tighten the straight brackets, as shown in the Figure 2-5
Users with three or four Q6000 pump cylinders can stack the pump cylinders in a single
stack if there is very little space available. It is important to stack the cylinders in the
following numerical order:
Pump Cylinder 2B (on the top)
Pump Cylinder 2A
Pump Cylinder 1B
Pump Cylinder 1A (on the bottom)
NOTE: This is a different order than that of the 5000 Series stand for a 4-cylinder system. Users who
own both 5000 series and 6000 series pumps should be careful not to confuse the pump cylinder
numbers.
IMPORTANT
For safety reasons, do not place more than four pump cylinders in a vertical stack.
Secure tall stacks from tipping over. If possible, it is preferable to stack only two pump
cylinders together.

2.4 Color Coding
The Q6000 Pump Series is color coded for the user’s
convenience. A color code has been assigned to each
pump cylinder as shown below.
Figure 2-6 Pump Color Code
The above color coding is used not only for the pump cylinders, but also the transducer, transducer
cables, driver cables and sensor cables as well.
2.5 Connecting the System Components
Driver and Sensor Cables
1. For the first cylinder, the cables labeled "Driver A"
and "Sensor A" will typically already be connected
to the CN-6000PumpController,which is mounted
on the side of Pump Cylinder A. For the second
cylinder, connect the cable labeled "Driver B" to
the receptacle on the CN-6000 Pump Controller
labeled "Driver B". Connect the cable labeled
"Sensor B" to the receptacle labeled "Sensor B".
Figure 2-7 Sensor Cables
2. If you have three pump cylinders, the cables labeled "Driver A" and "Sensor A" will
typically already be connected to the corresponding receptacles on the SECOND
CN-6000Pump Controller (which will be mounted on the side ofthe third cylinder).

Connecting Your Q6000 Series Pump to a Computer
There are two types of serial connections for Quizix pumps; an RS-232 Serial Expander Isolator,
and a USB Expander isolator. See Figure 2-8, and determine which Expander Isolator was included
with your Quizix pump.
Figure 2-8 USB/Serial Expander/Isolators
Connect your Quizix Pump to the computer where you will install PumpWorks, by following the
directions below.
2.5.2.1 Connecting the RS-232 Serial Expander/Isolator to a Computer Serial Port
Connect the RS-232 Cable (9 pin D Connector) to Communications Port 1 (serial port) on the
back of the computer that will be used to run PumpWorks. If Communications Port 1 is already
in use, you may use any other available serial port. Please refer to PumpWorks User’s Manual,
Communications chapter for more information.
If your computer does not have enough serial ports, you will need to purchase a serial
port expansion card, or use a USB port and a USB-serial adapter cable as instructed
below. Contact Chandler Engineering for suggestions.
•Connect the other end of the RS-232 into the serial expander/isolator, shown
in Figure 2-8.
You may connect the Serial expander/isolator directly into the
Communications Port on the back of your computer, instead of to the RS-232
Cable. By using the RS-232 Cable, the pump can be farther away from the
computer it is connected to.
•Connect one end of the DataCommunications Cable (phone-type) into the first
available port (A, B, C or D) on the serial expander/isolator.
•Connect the other end of the data communications cable to “Data Link” on the
Quizix pump controller.
Your pump is now connected to a computer. Go to Section 2.8, Installing PumpWorks
Software.
