CROSSFIRE Installation Guide
Step 1: Open Boxes
−Confirm the following parts are present
oLCOD-PUMP Box:
Assembled LCOD-Pump
Yoke covers
Mounting bracket
Additional accessories ordered
oLCOC-1000-A or LCOC-1000-B Box:
Controller (advanced or basic)
−Check to ensure no parts were damaged during shipment
oContact the shipment carrier and file a claim if any damage has been identified
oIf replacement parts are required, please contact your supplier
−Familiarize yourself with all parts and pieces
Step 2: Mount the pump
−Find a desired location for installation
oA location that can accommodate pump dimensions (22” L x 22” W x17” H)
oMinimize elevation to exploit head pressure created by the chemical tank. This will assist
in priming the inlet line.
−Mount the mounting bracket and LCOD-Pump within the bracket
oThe mounting bracket is designed to bolt down to the pattern of a 5100 series pump.
oBolt the two bracket pieces onto the existing 5100 pattern
oSet the CROSSFIRE pump on top of the bracket
oAttach the four-foot bolts to the base flange on the motor enclosure
Note: The bracket can be drilled to accommodate other bolt pattern configurations. Alternatively, the
pump can be free standing on the bracket; it can be attached to the bracket but not bolted down in a
drip tray if preferred.

Step 3: Install the Smart Controller
−Mount the Controller in a Nema 4 Enclosure
−Hook the controller to a 24 VDC power supply
oConnect the 2 conductor, 10 gauge tech cables with appropriate environmental and
classification seals to the controller
−Attach the three conductor cables from the motor to the controller. The green ground wire can
be terminated at any ground. The conductor cables must be terminated in a Class 1, Division 1
junction box at the motor.
oThe three conductor cables will be terminated in the controller at termination points
marked phase A, phase B, and phase C. Although the wires are not required to be in a
particular order for the pump to function, to maintain consistency please attach the red
wire to PH A, the black wire to PH B, and the yellow wire to PH C.
oCables are gauge 10 and can be a maximum length of 60 ft
Warning: If the resistance in the gauge 10 wires does not meet AWG standards, the
distance must be reduced proportionately.
Note: All conductor cables must be attached with proper end ferrule connectors and clamped down
properly with the appropriate tools. Ensure installers double check that all screw terminals are tightened
down to avoid any electrical connection issues. Similarly, if two wires must be spliced together, please
use a proper splicer connector, clamp down sufficiently, and do not use electrician twist caps.
Note: Wiring instructions are per device. Multiple CROSSFIRE units cannot be wired off
a single cable run. Any deviation can affect CROSSFIRE performance. Please consult
LCO Technologies directly for assistance prior to deviation if required.

Step 4: Check Fluid Ends
−Ensure that the fluid ends are showing 6-7 threads
oIf 6-7 threads are not showing, the plunger may bottom out and cause the pump
to stall or draw higher than average current (details in troubleshooting)
−Check that the packing gland is snug but not over tightened
Step 5: Manual Rotation Check
−Complete a manual rotation fluid end check
−Remove the clear acrylic top cover from the pump
−Insert an Allen key into the bolt in the center motor shaft and manually spin the motor
oIf the fluid ends are installed correctly, the motor will spin all 360 degrees with no
resistance
oIf there is resistance that cannot be pushed past, a fluid end is bottoming out on the
plunger
oManually spin that fluid end out of the yoke, one turn at a time, until you can push past
the fluid end to the next one
oRe-check and complete a full 360-degree rotation
−For more information, and a visual representation of the manual rotation, please visit
www.lcotechnologies.com/resources.html and watch the YouTube Video called “Video Tutorial
Manual Fluid End Check” or call LCO directly for more assistance
Warning: If the fluid ends are bottoming out, this will cause damage to the pump
components and may lead to extreme wear and tear. Damage will not be covered by
warranty and chemical leaks may occur due to misalignment.
Step 6: Tube Fluid Ends
−The fluid ends on the CROSSFIRE are a 5100 series equivalent
−The fluid ends have a ¼” Female NPT connection on the inlet and outlet
oThe arrow on the side of the fluid end body indicates fluid flow direction
−Tube the fluid ends inlets and outlets appropriately
−Overpressure protection must be used in conjunction with our pump
oWe recommend using a Panam Relief Valve (PRV-04-SS) with a set pressure
established which is no greater than the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP)
of the system.
oOnly one relief valve is required if all fluid ends are going to a single injection point.

−Recommendation: Use a filter on the pump inlet, this ensures that no foreign matter particles
get into the fluid ends during chemical injection.
Optional Step: Connect the CROSSFIRE to a SCADA/RTU System
−Connect three 20 Gauge wires to the RS485 terminal blocks on the CROSSFIRE controller.
oRS485+, RS485-, and RS 485 GROUND
−Connect the wires to the SCADA/RTU system
−Install a two-position selector switch on the outside of the NEMA 4 enclosure to ensure
when an Operator is onsite completing maintenance, that the pump can be manually
switched from remote control mode, into local control mode for safety. This switch is
required for safety purposes; all MODBUS registers can be monitored remotely when the
switch is on remote control mode.
oWire the switch to the Digital Input DI1 terminal block on the controller such that 24 VDC
will be on DI1+ when remote position is selected and 0 VDC for the local positioner
−Download and connect to the CROSSFIRE computer software as per the download and
operations instructions on page 14
oLog in as “Technician” for access to all tabs
oGo to “System Setup” panel (picture on page 22)
Set your Slave ID and Baud Rate
Press “Save” button
oGo to “Automation” Tab (picture on page 28)
Select “local remote switch control” from the drop-down menu to enable the two-
position selector switch
Press “Save” button
Label position one and two on the outside of the panel to “local” and “remote”
For all MODBUS register maps and assistance to set up MODBUS, please contact your local
distributor or LCO Technologies directly
Optional Step: Wire in Motor soft stop switch (non-positive isolation feature)
−If connecting over MODBUS, a C1D2 two-positioner switch may be wired to the controller for a
local “Start/Stop” motor switch. This switch will allow Operators onsite to turn the motor ON or
OFF with an easy switch (no laptop or Bluetooth connection App required) but will not prevent
MODBUS users to view pump parameters remotely as the power to the controller has not been
affected.
−Note: This is not a positive isolation method of stopping the motor, consider this equivalent to
the “start/stop” buttons in the app and laptop software
−Wire the C1D2 two-positioner switch according to the diagram below (next page, page 11):
oApply 24 V to AI3+ and 0 V to Ground
oLabel the switch ON for 24V, and OFF for 0V
−Access the “Terminal Tab” in the software or mobile App and enter command
“setMotorSoftStopEn” to enable function
−Confirm function by entering command “showMotorSoftStopEn”
