WARNING!!
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING
1. BEFORE STARTING
PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE ENTIRELY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
ALSO, READ SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION RELATING TO OPTIONAL CONTROL EQUIPMENT
CRANKCASE OIL PLUG
The pump module crankcase vent has been plugged to prevent accidental oil leakage during shipment. Remove
the plug and replace with the supplied vent cap before operating pump unit. Failure to do so will cause oil leaks.
OIL LEVEL
Check that the oil level appears 1/2 way in the sight gauge or within range on the dipstick in the pump head.
INLET WATER SUPPLY PRESSURE.
When the pump module is running, it must be supplied with an inlet water supply of
NEVER LESS THAN 20 P.S.I. (1.40 BAR) AND NEVER MORE THAN 90 P.S.I. (6.20BAR)
•INLET WATER SUPPLY PRESSURE SHOULD BE STEADY AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO FLUCTUATE OUTSIDE OF THESE
RANGES.FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
•IF WATER PRESSURE DROPS BELOW 20 PSI, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND THE FAULT LIGHT WILL COME ON. SEE SECTION
9SYSTEM OPERATION FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
OIL CHANGE INTERVAL
The crankcase oil must be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and from then on, once every 500 hours.
•SYNTHETIC 75W-90 GEAR OIL IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL APPLICATIONS (MOBILE ONE OR EQUAL)
•SECONDARY CHOICE SYNTHETIC 15W-50 MOTOR OIL MAY BE USED FOR ALL APPLICATIONS (MOBILE ONE OR EQUAL)
HIGH PRESSURE FITTINGS
The system operates at 1,000 P.S.I. (69 bar) and should always be shut down when working on fittings or manifold
line. When adjusting the orientation of the nozzles use only the correct tool and follow the procedures. Extreme
caution should always be exercised when working with high pressure water. Always wear safety glass when working
around fog equipment.
INLET WATER SUPPLY PLUMBING MATERIAL
Only rated and approved brass fittings or stainless steel fittings should be used to make plumbing connections. The
use of galvanized or steel pipe fittings can cause system failure, nozzle blockage and pump damage.
FLUSHING THE SYSTEM
Before pressurizing the system, flush all plumbing and atomization lines thoroughly to purge any residual debris.
Please refer to the startup section 7 of this manual.
TEFLON TAPE
When using Teflon tape on NPT threads, leave 1 or 2 of the starting threads showing. This will prevent pieces of
Teflon tape from entering the system, which could cause blockage or damage.

Master Rhino Manual_March 2020.docx March 20 Page 6 of 38
WATER QUALITY
2. WATER QUALITY
To obtain the best performance, special consideration should be given to the quality of water used in a MicroCool fog
system. For more information about Water Quality, consult a MicroCool specialist.
MicroCoolIS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NOZZLE BLOCKAGE DUE TO POOR WATER QUALITY.
TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS COUNT
Water with total dissolved solids (TDS) counts of greater than 500 parts per million (PPM); water with high calcium
and magnesium carbonate levels, or water with pH levels below 6.7 and above 7.5 may not be satisfactory and could
lead to excessive nozzle blockage and nozzle maintenance.
WATER ANALYSIS
If there is any doubt about water quality, a water analysis is recommended. Of major interest is the water’s Langelier
Saturation Index (SLI) together with other items such as hardness and TDS. A slightly negative, or neutral, Langelier
index is preferred, whereas a positive index may indicate a tendency to form calcium carbonate deposits in the lines
and nozzles.If using city water, an analysis should be available from the city/town water department. If in any doubt,
please contact your MicroCool representative for further information.
WATER TREATMENT
Generally speaking, most municipal water is suitable for atomization. Well water, river water and the like should be
tested before atomizing. If an analysis indicates any unusually high levels of undesirables’ proper treatments are
available. MicroCoolcan supply a variety of water treatment systems. Please contact MicroCoolfor further
details.
ULTRAVIOLET WATER PURIFIERS
Optional ULTRAVIOLET high intensity light purifiers can also be installed on the inlet water supply to sterilize the
system water. By bombarding the water with UV light, dangerous pathogens, spores and germs are destroyed. UV
systems must be regularly serviced to maintain the correct high intensity output.
REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER TREATMENT
MicroCool offers optional comprehensive reverse osmosis packages for all applications. Units are available for large
scale industrial as well as domestic installations.
Reverse Osmosis units incorporate a semi-permeable membrane that micro filters the water to 0.0001 microns
removing bacteria, viruses, aqueous salts and metal ions. By eliminating these from the supply water, MicroCool
ensures that clean, hygienic water is used in each system. Clean water will also reduce nozzle blockage, foul odors
and white “chalky” deposits on material close to the fog spray.
MicroCool reverse osmosis systems are designed specifically for each application – please consult with MicroCool
specialists for more details.

Master Rhino Manual_March 2020.docx March 20 Page 7 of 38
3. INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP MODULE
Installation Procedure:
•Determine pump module location
•Identify water supply/connection for the system
•Determine routing of the high pressure manifold from the pump.
•Establish drainage location from the pump.
•Verify correct electrical power supply to the pump.
•Determine all of the above for optional Equipment - Zone Controllers, Temperature/Humidity Controllers, Reverse
Osmosis, UV sterilizers, etc...
POSITIONING THE PUMP MODULE
The pump module requires a flat level surface. Position selection will largely depend on the availability of power and
water, but remember the points outlined on the previous pages as the terms of the pump warranty depend upon it.
A concrete floor or a concrete slab is ideal. Attach the supplied adjustable feet and plugs to the legs of the pump as
shown in the photograph (right). Using a level, make sure that the RHINO unit sits as level and plumb as possible.
WATER SUPPLY AND CONNECTION
The water supply should be capable of 1.5 times the maximum flow of the pump as shown in the table below.
Pump Model & Flow
MIN Flow rate
(USGPM)
MIN Flow Rate (LPM)
MIN Pressure psi /
bars
RHINO 15 (56.8L)

30.0
114
20 / 1.40
RHINO 25 (94.6L)
37.5
142
20 / 1.40
Correct water pressure and flow rate are essential to pump operation. All pump modules require a minimum of 20
P.S.I. (1.40 BAR) and a maximum of 90 P.S.I. (6.20 BAR) while in operation. The pressure should always be constant
and not fluctuate outside these ranges, especially on system start up. All pump modules are equipped with an inlet
water fault delay timer, which allows small drops in pressure, but will ultimately “fault off” if low pressure is present
for more than a few seconds.
Ensure that either copper or PVC pipe is used to provide the correct water supply to the RHINO unit. Never use steel
or galvanized steel fittings. Always use the largest diameter pipe practical.
DRAINAGE FROM THE PUMP
After the pump module shuts down, the water remaining in the manifold lines will drain out through the pump module
and the end of the atomization lines on some lines. Ensure that the drain outlet is routed to a suitable drainage point
to avoid flooding.A 6 foot (1.8 M) low pressure drain hose is provided for this purpose. This hose can be extended
as necessary.
4. PUMP MODULE POWER SUPPLY
After all water and plumbing connections have been completed, a licensed, qualified electrician should connect the power
supply to the pump. It is important to follow the National Electrical Code (NEC), as well as any local codes to ensure a
safe installation.
CAUTION!
If the pump unit will be powerd by a generator at any time, a properly sized line reactor needs to be
installed prior to the pump unit to eliminate voltage spikes. If this is not done the Variable Frequency Drive
(VFD) & processor could be damaged and warranty may be void.

Master Rhino Manual_March 2020.docx March 20 Page 8 of 38
INSURE ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATION
Establish that the circuit to be used to power the pump module is of the same electrical specification as the pump
module. The RHINO electrical specification can be found on the serial number label or from the electrical wiring
diagram adhered to the inside cover of the electrical enclosure on the pump module.
4.2.1 The circuit to the pump module must be dedicated and properly sized to carry the electrical load placed upon
it by the pump motor. Please refer to the MicroCoolEngineering Manual or electrical data plate on the
motor to determine the amperage draw of the RHINO pump module.
4.2.2 The power supply to the pump module must be hard wired directly to a fused disconnect box. If the power
supply cannot be directly wired to a disconnect box, then it should be hard wired using a junction box into a
suitable circuit with a disconnect box located elsewhere. This applies to either single phase or three phase
applications.
4.2.3 After verifying all of the above, power should be taken from the disconnect box/junction box to the terminal
strip located inside the electrical enclosure. We recommended that the correct sized wiring be in conduit
(preferably liquid tight); make the final connection to the high voltage terminal strip.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Wiring between the control panel and the pump unit is detailed in the supplied electrical diagram on page 43. We
recommend that a LICENSED ELECTRICIAN IS USED FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS/ HIGH VOLTAGE
Open front cover to connect the high voltage wiring to pump controls. Connect high voltage to TB1(terminal block
1) electrical strip in the control box. There is a conduit connector provided for connecting conduit to the side of the
control box.

Master Rhino Manual_March 2020.docx March 20 Page 9 of 38
24V DC VOLTAGE FROM PUMP CONTROLLER
External (remote) start connections must be made to TB1 Terminals 1 & 2. Note that this connection is powered by
a 24V DC voltage from the pump controller. Adequate care must be taken NOT to connect a different or separate
power supply to these terminals as serious damage could occur. If in doubt – please contact the factory for a
suitable relay or conditioner.
WARNING: The control box is completely wired for immediate operation. After high voltage wiring is connected
and the unit is supplied with proper water pressure, pressing F1 will immediately activate the pump operation.
5. STANDARD WIRING DIAGRAMS for MicroCoolRHINO pump modules
An as-built wiring diagram has been added to the back of this manual (see page 43).
6. PRINCIPLE OF THE VFD system on the RHINO pump unit
VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE
6.1.1 A VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) controls the speed of the electrical motor (and subsequently the pump
head) by changing the Frequency (Hertz). The RHINO pump module has a Pressure Transducer unit
mounted on the high-pressure (discharge) side of the pump that transmits the water pressure back to the
control unit.
6.1.2 The controller is pre-set to maintain a pressure of 1,000 psi (69 Bar) at the discharge of the pump.
6.1.3 As the water flow rate of the system changes (for example with more or less nozzles in operation) the
controller will increase or decrease the motor speed to maintain the required pressure (1,000 psi / 69 Bar).
The controller is capable of increasing the speed (frequency) to a maximum of 50 Hz. The rate of change is
governed by programming within the drive to reduce motor, pump, and equipment wear.
6.1.4 The minimum speed of the motor is also regulated by the controller. At very low rpm, the pump may be
moving too slowly to adequately distribute the oil in the pump reservoir. Damage to the pump may occur.
The minimum speed (frequency) is set at 20 Hz to protect the pump unit from oil starvation.
6.1.5 For more details on the VFD drive, the readings and fault status, refer to the WEG Drive supplement at the
end of this manual.
7. MicroCool RHINO - STARTING THE SYSTEM
START UP
7.1.1 Install UV bulb prior to start up. (If installed)
7.1.2 The system must be primed and flushed before pressurization. This removes any contaminants such as dirt,
brass filings or Teflon tape that have found their way into the system.
7.1.3 Turn on the water supply to the pump module. The inlet or low pressure gauge should read at the very least
20 PSI (1.4 BAR) indicated by the green area of the dial. If the water pressure is not sufficient, do not try to
start the pump. The water pressure problem must be corrected first.
7.1.4 To prime the pump module turn on the power supply to the RHINO module, open the electrical enclosure,
switch the circuit breaker to the on position. Once the VFD indicates “RDY” and the PLC is illuminated,
press F3 and F4 simultaneously, this will start the prime sequence of 30 seconds. The pump is now ready to
be started.

Master Rhino Manual_March 2020.docx March 20 Page 10 of 38
7.1.5 To start the RHINO module press F1 (run in Manual). The pump module will now run, there must be
between 20 PSI (1.4 BAR) and 90 PSI (6.2 BAR) of pressure available to the pump at all times. Note-
should the water pressure drop below the factory preset of 20 PSI, there is a 3 second delay before the
system goes to “FAULT”. Refer to section 9 to reset.
7.1.6 The pump motor RPM will ramp (increase) up to the maximum speed (50 Hz) to fill the system. Do not worry
if the pressure does NOT reach 1,000 PSI (69 BAR) at this time (during flush sequence).
7.1.7 Let the module run for 2-3 minutes making sure that there is a good flow of water running out the end of the
atomization lines. Lines may have to be flushed in groups with larger system to ensure adequate system
flush.
7.1.8 When finished, press F3 (Stop) to stop the pump module.
7.1.9 The system is now flushed and ready for the pressurization procedure.
8. PRESSURIZING THE SYSTEM
PRESSURIZING THE SYSTEM
8.1.1 Safety glasses must be worn when adjusting pressure. Always keep guards and covers in place.
8.1.2 Install the plugs or automatic drain valves into the ends of the atomization lines. Use Teflon tape on all NPT
threads and tighten each fitting firmly. Do not apply tape to compression fittings or ball seat fittings (Female
swivel hose fitting).
8.1.3 Press F1 to start the pump. The RHINO pump will run at full speed until 1100 PSI (regulator setting) is
achieved. The pump will then slow down and maintain 1000 PSI.
DO NOT ADJUST THE PRESSURE REGULATOR
The regulator is set as a safety valve should the system pressure exceed 1,100 psi or 75.8 Bar. At extremely low
flow, the regulator will bypass water back into the pump head as the VFD drive has reached its minimum Frequency
(Hertz) as mentioned in the above section.NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE REGULATOR UNDER PRESSURE!
If for any reason the regulator is adjusted, or changed, follow this procedure to reset the correct adjustment.
8.2.1 Turn off the electrical supply at the disconnect switch to electrically isolate the pump.
8.2.2 Locate the pressure transducer and unplug the electrical lead.
8.2.3 Restore the power and start the unit by pressing F1.
8.2.4 Adjust the regulator by turning clockwise or counter-clockwise until the pressure gauge indicates
1,100 psi (75.8 Bar). When the pressure is steady at 1,100 make sure that the “Jam Nut” is tightened
to lock the adjustment in position.
8.2.5 Press F3 to turn off the pump, disconnect the electrical supply.
8.2.6 Plug electrical lead back into transducer, restore electrical power.

DRAIN/PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE TIME
The drain/pressure relief valve time is the time setting that determines how long the drain valve remains open after
pump unit shuts down. This valve can be used to only relive the nozzle line pressure or relieve the nozzle line
pressure and drain the system. If only pressure relief is required then a short time of 10 – 15 seconds is adequate, if
the system is required to drain completely then a longer time setting would be required, depending on the system
size and length of manifold lines.

CAUTION-do not set the off cycle time shorter than 1 minute in order to avoid motor overheating.
DISABLING F1 “MANUAL RUN”
If the system includes zone controllers or zone valves, and is run in Auto, F1 should be disabled. By
disabling F1, the pump system has to be started and stopped by a remote input from a zone controller, or
another control device, and the pump would be in “Auto Ready” (press F2).
WARNING, operating the pump unit in F1 “Manual Run” with zone controllers or zone valves installed in the system,
could cause the pump to dead-head resulting in damage to the pump unit that would not be covered under
warranty.
1. F1 disable is located in “Set Param” and is labeled as “F1 DISAB” the default setting is off. The soft key
settings represent:
a. Off = F1 is enabled
b. On = F1 is disabled
2. To access, enable and set F1 operation, follow the steps in 9.2 “Setting Axillary Parameters”

SETTING INTERNAL TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROLS (OPTIONAL UPGRADE)
1. If this upgrade was ordered with the system, temperature and humidity control will be available in
the controller.
2. To access, enable and set the temperature and humidity control. Follow the steps in "Setting
Auxiliary Parameters”
3. To enable the temperature and humidity control, “TEMP & HUM” switch needs to be set from
“Switch=off” to “Switch=on”.
4. “HUMID SP” represents the humidity set point. To enter the set point, set the “off=**” to required
humidity level and set “on=**” to 0%. Example: if required humidity set point is 35%, set “off= 35”
and “on= 0”.
5. “TEMP SP” represents temperature set point, to enter the set point, set the “off=**” to required
temperature level in F°/C° and set “on=**” to at least 3° points above “off=**” setting. The difference
between the on and off setting is the hysteresis or dead band. Example: if required temperature set
point is 75°F with a 3°F dead band set “off=75” and “on=78”.
6. The temperature and humidity outputs are in series, so both the temperature and humidity contacts
needs to be closed for the system to run.
7. To view current temperature and humidity levels and set points, press “F4” once. The display will
revert back to the operation screen after 30 seconds.
SETTING FOR HUMIDITY CONTROL ONLY::
1. Set the temperature set point to 33°F/0°C “off=33°F/1°C” and “on=34°F/1°C”. (This forces the temp
contact.)
2. Set the humidity set point to desired humidity to be maintained as described above.
3. The controller will start the pump system when the humidity drops below the set point.
SETTING FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL ONLY:
1. Set the humidity set point to 100%. (This forces the humidity contact).
2. Set the temperature set point to the desired temperature to be maintained as described above.
3. The controller will start the pump system when the Temperature drops below the set point.
SETTING FOR HUMIDITY CONTROL WITH TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE:
1. Set the humidity set point to desired humidity to be controlled as described above.
2. Set the temperature set point to desired temperature, not to go below as described above.
3. The controller will start the pump system when the humidity drops below the humidity set point, but
will stop the pump if the temperature drops below temperature set point.
SETTING FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL WITH HUMIDITY OVERRIDE:
Set the temperature set point to desired temperature as described above.
Set the humidity set point to humidity level not to exceed as described above.
The controller will start the pump system when the temperature rises above the set point, but will shut the
pump system off when the humidity set point is reached.

10. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CRANKCASE OIL
The RHINO pump unit is equipped with an hour meter and an automatic
reminder to change pump oil; Red light, slow flash (does not affect
operation). See page 10 for instructions to reset light indicator.
Initially the Crankcase Oil must be changed after the first 50 operating
hours.
After that it should be changed after every 500 hours of operation.
Examples of 500 hours operation:
15 weeks of 5 hour operation per day
9 weeks of 8 hour operation per day
6 weeks of 12 hour operation per day
3 weeks of 24 hour operation per day
Chart to the right indicates oil capacity for each pump
SYNTHETIC 75w-90 GEAR OIL IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL APPLICATIONS (Mobil One or Equal)
In the event that 75w-90 is not available, synthetic 15w-50 Motor oil may be substituted (Mobil One or
Equal)
Figure 20 – Crankcase Oil Levels
ELECTRICAL MOTOR SERVICE
Two types of electrical motors are used on the MicroCoolpump modules. Some small motors have sealed
rotor bearings and some require lubrication periodically. Refer to the motor nameplate for the type of motor. If
the motor is equipped with external grease nipples refer to the chart below for lubrication instructions.
Service Condition
Time Intervals
Standard
Every 3 Years
Severe
Every 1 Year
Seasonal
Lubricate at beginning of season
Electrical motors on the pump modules are pre-greased with a polyurea mineral oil NGLI grade 2-type grease
unless stated otherwise on the motor nameplate. Some compatible brands of polyurea mineral base type grease
are: Chevron SRI #2, Rykon Premium #2, Shell Oil Doilum R or Texaco Polystar RB. Motors are properly
lubricated at the time of manufacture and do not need to be lubricated at the time of installation.
NOTE: Over greasing bearings can cause premature bearing and/or motor failure. The amount of grease added
to the motor should be carefully controlled. One crank of the grease gun handle is usually sufficient.
