REVISION 1.6
2 SAFETY AND HANDLING
This chapter contains important information on the safety, handling, and use of your PH
Series Proportioner.
Before installing the PH Series Proportioner and
startup, carefully read all the technical and safety
documentation included in this manual. Pay special
attention to the information in order to know and
understand the operation and the conditions of use of
the PH Series Proportioner. All of the information is
aimed at improving user safety and avoiding possible
breakdowns from the incorrect use of the PH Series
Proportioner.
WARNING! Symbol is presented in front of information to alert of a
situation that might cause serious injuries if the instructions are not followed.
CAUTION! Symbol is presented in front of information that indicates how
to avoid damage to the proportioner or how to avoid a situation that could
cause issues.
NOTE! Symbol is presented in front of relevant information of a
procedure being carried out.
Careful study of this manual will enable the operator to know the characteristics of the PH Series
Proportioner and the operating procedures. By following the instructions and recommendations
contained herein, you will reduce the potential risk of accidents in the installation, use, and
maintenance of the PH Series Proportioner. You will provide a better opportunity for greater output,
incident-free operation for a longer time, and the possibility of detecting and resolving problems quickly
and simply.
Keep this Operations Manual for future consultation of useful information. If you lose this
manual, ask for a new copy from your PMC Service Center or go online at our web site
(www.polymacusa.com).
The PH Series Proportioner has been designed and built for the application of polyurea chemical
systems, polyurethane foam chemical systems, and some two-component epoxy systems

REVISION 1.6
WARNING! The design and configuration of the PH Series Pro portioner
does not allow its use in potentially explosive atmospheres, or the pressure and
temperature limits described in the technical specifi cations of this manual to be
exceeded.
Always use liquids and solvents that are compatible with the unit. If in doubt, consult your
authorized PMC distributor.
When working with the PH Series Proportioner, it is recommended that the operator wear
suitable clothing and elements of personal protection, including, without limitation, gloves, protective
goggles, safety footwear and face masks. Use breathing equipment when working with the PH Series
Proportioner in enclosed spaces or in areas with insufficient ventilation. The introduction and follow-
up of safety measures must not be limited to those described in this manual. Before starting up the PH
Series Proportioner, a comprehensive analysis must be made of the risks derived from the products to
be dispensed, the type of application, and the working environment.
To prevent possible injury caused by incorrect handling of the raw
materials and solvents used in the process, carefully read the Safety
Data Sheet (SDS) provided by your supplier. Deal with the waste
caused according to current regulations.
To avoid damage caused by the impact of pressurized fluids, do not
open any connection, or perform maintenance work on com ponents
subject to pressure until the pressure has been completely eliminated.
Use suitable protection when operating, maintaining or being
present in the area where the equipment is functioning. This in cludes,
but is not limited to, the use of protective goggles, gloves, shoes, and
safety clothing and breathing equipment.
The equipment includes components that reach high temperatures and
can cause burns. Hot parts of the equipment must not be handled or
touched until they have cooled completely.
To prevent serious injury through crushing or amputation, do
not work with the equipment without the safety guards installed on the
moving parts. Make sure that all the safety guards are correctly
reinstalled at the end of the repair or maintenance work of the
equipment.

REVISION 1.6
3 CHARACTERISTICS
The PH Series Proportioner has been designed and built for the application of polyurea chemical
systems, polyurethane foam chemical systems, and some specific two-component epoxy systems.
3.1 PRINCIPAL HEATING SYSTEM
The Proportioner consists of one (1) Material Heater without internal seals. The Low-
Pressure Heater has three (3) Heating Elements per fluid side rated at 1,250, 1,500, or 1750 watts, each
giving the Proportioner a total heat output of 7,500, 9,000, or 10,500 watts. The High-Pressure Heater
has four (4) Heating Elements per fluid side rated at 1750 watts, each giving the Proportioners total heat
output of 14,000 watts. Every heating system provides the necessary control and safety components for
their precise operation. The Material Heater design allows for a controlled and precise temperature
differential (∆T) and material application temperatures of up to 190º F under ambient temperatures.
3.2 HOSE HEATING SYSTEM
The system is designed with a 3 KVA Isolation Transformer that enables effective heating of
up to a total hose length of 310 feet (also available with a 2KVA transformer and a 5 KVA
transformer for maximum hose lengths of 210 and 410, respectively). The system includes an
innovative hose heating concept in which the continuous braid tinned-copper jacket is distributed evenly
around the circumference of the hose providing a uniform heating watt density and precise control of the
material application temperature. This hose heating element design is extremely resistant to fatigue
failure.

REVISION 1.6
3.3 DOUBLE ACTING OPPOSED PISTON METERING PUMPS
The opposed double acting Pump Line is driven by a double ended Hydraulic Cylinder. The
in-line pump system with opposed piston pumps provides a constant volume and guarantees uniform
pressures in both directions of pump movement.
3.4 PRESSURE BALANCE CONTROL SYSTEM
The Pressure Balance Control (PBC) system performs an automatic shutdown when a
chemical imbalance occurs. When the system is turned off, the Proportioner will perform as if there
is no PBC system and will continue pumping material. When the system is turned on, it will continually
monitor the pressure between the two chemicals (known as the pressure differential ).If the pressure
differential becomes equal to or greater than the maximum allowable pressure differential, the
pumps will be shut off.
The Pressure Balance Control system can be simplified into a logic box diagram with inputs and
outputs. There are five inputs: the power supply from the main console, the pressure readings from each
chemical, the maximum pressure, and the maximum allowable pressure differential. Inside the logic box, the
actual pressure differential of the chemicals is compared to the maximum allowablepressure differential.
Depending on the circumstances of all five inputs, there are only two possible outputs: either the pumps
will continue to pressurize and move material, or the pumps will shut off and flow will be lost.

WARNING! Use suitable protection and follow the recommendations in the
Safety Information enclosed and provided by material suppliers when installing
or working with the Proportioner.
CAUTION! Make sure the power cable is disconnected from the main power
source before connecting to the Terminal Strip in the Console.
NOTE! To ensure the PH Series Proportioner works correctly, the elec trical
supply must meet the specifications indicated on the Serial Num ber Placard
affixed to the Electrical Console.
1. Insert the main power cable by passing it through the wire stop at the bottom of the electrical
console and connect as shown in the diagram above.
2. Fill the Hydraulic Reservoir with 10 gallons (37 Liters) of approved hydraulic fluid. See page 53
for hydraulic oil specifications.
NOTE! Do not fill the tank to maximum capacity; use the
Visual Level Indicator on the tank to make sure the
amount of hydraulic fluid is not more than 10 gal (37 L) or
80% of the tank’s maximum capacity.
