General
Congratulations. You have chosen the nest, most accurate electrically powered chemical injection Sys-
tem available. Before Installation, please inspect the pump carefully for any possible in-transit dam-
age. If the pump appears damaged, call your local distributor or call MCI customer service direct at
+1.888.263.4565
Please ensure you have fully read and understood the general safety
section of this manual before proceeding with the System installation
The System is CSA approved for use in Class 1 Division 2 areas. It is the
responsibility of the owner to determine the classication of the area
where the System is to be installed

The System is to be mounted securely in a safe location that satises the classication requirements.
The Systems Fluid End (Pump) must be oriented in a vertical position for proper check valve operation
Allow a minimum distance of 12 in. from the center line of the pump head to the lowest point on the
chemical storage container bulkhead to ensure adequate [positive]static head pressure is available. The
System relies on a positive suction pressure to run correctly [grAphic eXplAnAtion shown on pAge 6]
The membrane switch panel is covered with a clear plastic lm, remove prior to operating the System
Plumbing Overview
Only properly qualied and trained personnel should be involved in the
setting up , putting into service, inspecting, servicing and repairing of the
plumbing for the uid end
Ensure all National, Provincial/State and local codes are followed when plumb-
ing equipment. Failure to follow these codes can result in serious bodily injury
or death
The following plumbing suggestions are examples of typical installations only and may not be the best
suited method for your custom installation
Ensure all process valves are closed prior to disconnecting or re-installing any chemical injection System
To avoid over-pressuring chemical discharge lines MCI requires placing a properly tested and calibrated
Pressure Relief valve (PRV) between the discharge port of the uid end and the process injection point.
The set point must not exceed the pumps maximum discharge pressure [MAXiMuM dischArge pressures cAn be
found in the 'systeM specificAtions' section under 'output perforMAnce']
Failure to add a CERTIFIED and CALIBRATED Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)
to the System is inherently unsafe. It can cause catastrophic System
damage and voids all System warranty. MCI is not responsible for any
damage caused by exceeding maximum System pressure. MCI oers
complete PRV solutions for all Systems. Please contact customer service
for latest pricing and availability: +1.888.263.4565

The 1/4”NPT drain port shown [Arrow] is a general
System drain port [DO NOT PLUG OFF] This port
must remain open or plumbed to a designated
containment area
Without routine maintenance it is possible for seal
bypass from the low pressure side to exit this port.
Ensure proper containment areas are in place and
suggested routine seal maintenance procedures
are followed to prevent spills
Power Supply
When wiring the System follow cable orientation labels found on the inside of
the enclosure lid. Failure to orientate wiring properly may result in damage to
the on-board electronics and could cause serious bodily injury or death
To protect the System and associated components the pump box must be
connected to ground. All electrical connections must satisfy National, Provin-
cial/State and local electrical codes
SYSTEM CAN START AUTOMATICALLY - Before connecting power to the
control board ensure that you and all tools used in setup are clear of moving
parts, serious bodily injuries can occur
When connecting cables to the control module ensure keyed connections
are tight. Loose connections can cause arcing and erosion which destroy the
integrity of the connections

STEP 1
WIRING INTERFACE
Wire 24V DC power supply out to the main terminal block on the pumps front access panel, always
ensure wiring polarity is correct to prevent system damage. CAUTION: System will start automatically
Model C1 pumps are equipped with COLDStart technology. This technology ensures proper operation
during the winter months by temporarily increasing the motors supply current at startup. When the sys-
tem is in COLD start mode 'UP' will appear on the digital display . The System will automatically revert to
normal operating conditions when its warm up routine is complete [~10 Minutes]
If the ambient temperature is warmer than -10O C the COLDStart routine is not required. To bypass the
routine early, press the 'UP' or 'DOWN' arrow button once to resume normal operation

Troubleshooting
Symptom Potential Cause(s) Recommendation(s)
Electric drive does
not cycle when
powered
Pump controller is o Press the On/O button to cycle power
Loose or damaged power supply wiring Conrm all connections are securely fastened and that no mechanical
damage to wiring has occurred
Re-connect wiring and thread together tightly
Wiring polarity reversed on main power
supply cable
[see 'instAllAtion' section of this MAnuAl for
wiring diAgrAM]
Reverse wiring if found to be incorrect.
[Warning: Control module boards manufactured prior to 2010 may not
be equipped with reverse polarity protection and if powered in a reverse
condition will require replacement]
Damaged fuse Remove fuse holder cap and inspect fuse for damage. Replace if required
[0.25 x 1.25” - 2.5A]
Low voltage condition *
*if your systeM is equipped with the integrAted
low voltAge disconnect [lvd] the screen will
displAy 'pp' indicAting Apower probleM [low
voltAge condition]
Conrm 24V DC power supply is available to the control module with a
volt meter. Replace or repair power supply as required
If the System is running o a DC battery bank it is recommended to dis-
connect the charging source [i.e. solAr pAnels]before checking line voltage
to ensure accurate results
Damaged charge regulator Conrm charge regulator is outputting 24-28V. If your charge regulator
is equipped with a low voltage disconnect make sure to test its function-
ality and set points
Controller display
does not respond to
pressing on/o or
stroke rate buttons,
but the drive is
cycling normally
Pump is in analog mode [4-20 mA input] If your pump is equipped with the optional 4-20 mA analog input it will
override manual entries when in remote mode. Disconnecting the 4-20
mA input cable will resume normal manual operation
Pump is chattering
or not stroking the
full stroke [1 inch]
note: during norMAl
wArM up routine cycles
['up' shown on displAy]
the puMp will cycle
hAlf strokes And does
not indicAte AprobleM
with the drive
Low voltage condition Conrm 24V power supply is available to the control module with a volt
meter
If the System is running o a DC battery bank it is recommended to dis-
connect the charging source [i.e. solAr pAnels]before checking line voltage
to ensure accurate results
This condition can cause damage to the Systems drive if left for ex-
tended periods. If after identifying and correcting a voltage prob-
lem and the drive is still found to chatter it is recommended to send
the System in for inspection as motor bearings may be damaged
Discharge Isolation valve(s) closed If any valves are found to be closed and if safe to do so, open valves
Original controller replaced MCI oers many drive options that require specic controllers. Before
installing a new pump controller please contact MCI customer service:
+1.250.888.4565 to conrm compatibility. Please provide the Systems
model and serial number to conrm compatibility
Pumps maximum rated discharge pres-
sure has been exceeded
Please conrm your pumps maximum output pressure rating. This can
be found under the 'Specications' section of this manual. It is very im-
portant this pressure not be exceeded. It is unsafe and will cause pre-
mature System failure.
