1 Application
The pumps in the ProMinent® Beta®series are microprocessor controlled solenoid metering
pumps.
Liquid media They offer highly accurate reproducible metering in the dosing of liquid chemicals in pressurised
pipe systems and into open and closed containers.
Compatibility Specified components/accessories in the Beta®pump series are compatible with those in the
CONCEPT, gamma-Classic and gamma series as follows:
•Signal cable: gamma/Vario two core, and four core for ”external“ function
•Two stage float switch (gamma/Vario)
• gamma discharge line
•Standard gamma connector set
•gamma wall mounting bracket
•Feed container and fixing plates
•Total height (distance between suction and discharge line connectors)
•Distance between the connectors and mounting holes on the pump
• Identical accessories used, e.g. back pressure valves, multifunction valves and flushing
apparatus.
Correct use of equipment
•The Beta®may be used only to meter liquids.
• The pump is not designed for use with gaseous chemicals or suspended solids.
•Take care when using aggressive chemicals that the materials used in the pump are resistant
to those chemicals (see ProMinent®Chemical Resistance List in the product catalogue or
under www.prominent.com).
•All other applications or modifications are prohibited.
•The pump may only be used for applications which correspond to the technical data and
specifications described in the operating instructions manual.
•The pump is not designed for use in explosion-hazardous locations.
• The Beta®should be operated by suitably trained and authorised personnel only.
2Safety

Safety
2.2 Safety Guidelines
WARNING
•In emergencies the pump should be switched off immediately! Disconnect the power
cable from the power supply!
•Do not dispatch pumps which are designed for use with radioactive chemicals!
•When using pumps with flammable chemicals, observe the relevant regulations
concerning the transport and storage of flammable fluids (Ex, Vo, Vb F)!
•When installing outside Germany, always observe relevant national regulations!
•
Combining ProMinent
®
metering pumps with parts not approved and tested by ProMinent
is not permissible. It can cause injury or damage to persons or materials for which we
cannot accept liability!
CAUTION
•Pumps must be accessible at all times for both operating and servicing. Access must
not be obstructed in any way!
•The pumps and peripherals must be serviced and repaired by qualified and authorised
persons only!
•Always de-pressurise the liquid end prior to working on a pump!
•Empty and rinse the liquid end before working on a pump which has been used with
hazardous or unknown chemicals!
•Always read chemical safety data!
•Always wear protective clothing when handling hazardous or unknown chemicals!
2.3 Sound intensity level
The sound intensity level is < 70 dB (A) at maximum stroke, maximum stroke rate, maximum
back pressure (water) in accordance with
DIN EN 12639 (Metering Pump Noise Measurement)

Design and Function
3Design and Function
Main components Operating panel
Power end
Liquid end
Operating Principle Chemical feed occurs as a result of pulsed deflections of the dosing diaphragm within the liquid
end, which causes pressure differentiation between the suction side, the liquid end cavity and the
discharge side. The pressure differentiation causes the suction and discharge self-acting valves
to open and close, resulting in chemical feed.
The dosing diaphragm is driven by an electromagnet, which is stimulated and controlled by a
microprocessor.
Pump Capacity The feed rate is determined by the stroke length and stroking rate.
The stroke length is adjustable between 0 % and 100 % using the stroke length adjustment knob.
However reproducibility is only technically practicable in the adjustment range of between 30 %
and 100 %.
Stroking rate is adjustable in 10 % steps between 0 % and 100 % using the multifunction switch.
This gives a higher rate of reproducible metering accuracy.
Operating Modes Operating modes are selected using the multifunction switch.
Three LED displays indicate operating and fault status.
Internal operating mode: ”Manual“:
Stroking rate is manually adjustable in 10 % steps via the multifunction switch.
”External“ operating mode:
Allows adjustment of individual strokes via the external operating mode terminal by means of
contact or semi-operating devices.
Functions ”Auxiliary Frequency“ function:
Enables activation of optionally selectable and programmable stroking rate, controlled via the
external operating mode terminal. This stroking rate overrides ”Manual“ and ”External“ operating
modes.
In the standard version the ”Auxiliary Frequency“ function is programmed to 100 % stroking rate.
”Pause“ function:
The external operating terminal can be used to operate a remote pump stop function.
”Stop“ function:
This function allows the pump to be deactivated without disconnecting from the power supply.
”Test“ function:
This function checks the priming function of the pump. The switch setting ”Test“ on the
multifunction switch is self-locking.
Self-degassing Self-degassing metering pumps are used in closed discharge lines to create suction and to direct
trapped air to bypass lines, and/or remove gas emitted by gaseous chemicals during operation,
independently of existing back pressure.
Installing a back pressure valve ensures precise chemical feed can be achieved, even when
operating under atmospheric pressure.
Options The float switch connector can be used to connect a two stage float switch.
There is also optionally available a relay terminal for an alarm indicating relay, and a switch output
which is synchronised to each stroke.
