Device Overview and Control elements / Function Description
4.2 Control elements
Please acquaint yourself with the gamma/ L control elements with the help of the “control
elements and key functions” overview!
Indicators The LCD display supports the operation and setting of the gamma/ L with a range of indicators:
Set
Flow
Calib
Mem
ErrorPauseAux
Stop
The indicators are interpreted as follows:
Symbol for P key: The gamma/ L is in settings mode.
Close symbol: In a continuous display: lock (if code has been set).
In settings mode: indicates access to code menu.
Stop: The gamma/ L has been stopped using the STOP/START key.
Pause: The gamma/ L has been stopped using the “pause” function
(external).
Aux: The gamma/ L is pumping at the auxiliary frequency. In AUX
menu: the gamma/ L is in the AUX menu.
Error: A fault has occurred and the pump has been stopped.
Mem: An additional “memory” function has been set in the “contact”
and “batch” operating modes.
In CNTCT or BATCH menus (“mem” flashes): the memory
function can be set
Calib: The gamma/ L is in the CALIB menu.
n a continuous display (“calib” flashes”): more than ± 10 %
deviation of stroke rate from value at the moment of calibration.
Flow: The gamma/ L is in the FLOW menu.
Set: The gamma/ L is in the SET menu.
Command symbol: The number of strokes reached is above the maximum value
(99999) that can be shown in the LCD display
5 Function Description
Function principle Dosing takes place as follows: the dosing diaphragm is forced into the liquid end; the pressure
in the liquid end causes the suction valve to close and the chemical flows out of the liquid end
through the discharge valve. The dosing diaphragm is then forced back out of the liquid end.
The vacuum in the liquid end causes the discharge valve to close and fresh chemical flows into
the suction valve in the liquid end. This concludes one operating cycle.
The dosing diaphragm is driven by an electronically controlled electrical solenoid.
Feed rate The feed rate is determined by the stroke length and the stroke rate.
The stroke length is set between 0 - 100 % using the stroke length adjusting knob. Optimum
dosing reproducibility is achieved by setting the stroke length to between 30 - 100 % (SEK type:
50 - 100 %)!
The stroke rate is set using the arrow keys (not in “analogue” operating mode) to between
0 - 180 strokes/min.
Self-bleed function Pumps with self-bleed function (= SEK types) can operate a prime action even when the
discharge tubing is closed, discharging existing air through a bypass valve. These pumps can
release gas even during operation, irrespective of the actual operating pressure.
An in-built pressure maintenance valve allows accurate dosing even in depressurised states.

Function Description
Operating modes Operating modes are selected using the MODE menu (depending upon identity code, some
operating modes may be absent).
“Analogue” operating mode: (Identity code, control variant: analogue current)
The stroke rate is controlled via an analogue electrical signal via the “external control” terminal.
Signal processing is pre-selected at the controller.
“Manual” operating mode: (Identity code, control variant: manual, standard function)
The stroke rate is controlled manually via the controller.
“Contact” operating mode: (Identity code, control variant: external 1:1 / external with pulse
control)
This operating mode offers the opportunity to make fine adjustments with small increase/
decrease factors. Dosing can be activated by a pulse via the “external control” terminal or by a
semiconductor element. With the “pulse control” option it is possible to pre-set a feed quantity
(batch) or number of strokes (factor 0.01 to 99.99) via the control unit.
“Batch” operating function: (identity code, control variant, external 1:1 / external with pulse
control)
This operating mode offers the option of working with larger transfer factors (up to 65535).
Metering can be triggered by pressing the P key or a pulse from the “external control” terminal
via a contact or semiconductor element. A batching quantity or number of strokes can be pre-
selected via the control unit.
Functions The following functions can be selected using the SET menu:
“Calibrate” function:
The gamma/ L can be operated in all operating modes including in calibrating mode. The
corresponding continuous displays can show the actual feed quantity or the feed rate.
Calibration is maintained within the stroke frequency range 0 - 180 strokes/ min. Calibration is
also maintained when a stroke frequency is altered up to ± 10 %.
“Pressure level” function:
It is possible to set different pressure levels.
“Auxiliary frequency” function:
It is possible to set a stroke rate in the SET menu, which may be activated via the “external
control” terminal. This auxiliary frequency overrides all other pre-set stroke rate frequencies.
“Flow” function:
Stops the gamma/ L when the flow is insufficient. In the SET menu, the number of failed strokes
is entered after which the pump will be turned off.
The following functions are available as standard:
“Float switch” function:
Information on the liquid level in the feed chemical container is transmitted to the gamma/ L.
This option requires the installation of a 2-stage float switch. This is connected to the “float
switch” terminal.
“Pause” function:
The gamma/ L can be stopped by remote control via the “external control” terminal. The “pau-
se” function operates only via the “external control” terminal.
The following functions are activated by keystrokes:
“Stop” function:
The gamma/ L can be stopped by pressing the STOP/START key without disconnecting from
the mains power supply.

Function Description
“Prime” function:
Priming (short term feed at maximum frequency) is activated by pressing both arrow keys at the
same time.
Optional relay The gamma/ L has two connection options.
“Fault indicating relay” option:
In the event of fault signals, warning signals or float switch activation signals, connects an
electrical circuit to trigger alarm sirens etc. The relay is retrofitted via an aperture in the power
end.
“Fault indicating and pacing relay” option:
Along with the fault indicating relay, the pacing relay produces an electrical impulse for every
stroke. The relay is retrofitted via an aperture in the power end.
Function and error
indicators The operating and error status is shown via the three LEDs and the “error” indicator on the LCD
(see also section 12):
LCD indicator If a fault occurs “error” will appear along with an additional fault warning.
LED indicator Operating indicator (green)
This indicator is lit as long as the gamma/ L is operating correctly.
Warning indicator (yellow)
This warning light appears if the gamma/ L electronics detect a situation that could lead to a
fault, e.g. “liquid levels low 1st stage”.
Warning indicator (red)
This warning light appears if a fault occurs, e.g. “liquid levels low 2nd stage”.
Hierarchy of operating modes, functions and fault statuses
The different operating modes, functions and fault statuses each have a differing effect on
whether and how the gamma/ L functions. These effects are given below:
1. Prime
2. Fault, stop, pause
3. Auxiliary frequency
4. Manual, analogue, contact, batch
to:
1. “Prime” can be activated in any pump status (as long as it is operable)
2. “Fault”, “stop” and “pause” stop all system parts up to “prime”.
3. The stroke rate of the “auxiliary frequency” always overrides the existing operating stroke
rate.

described in the operating instructions manual!
•It is not permitted to assemble and install ProMinent®dosing pumps with
non-original parts unless these have been checked and recommended by
ProMinent.
•Always depressurise tubing before working on the dosing pump. Empty and
rinse out the liquid end!
•Never allow the dosing pump to operate when an discharge tube stop tap is
closed ! It may burst!
•Remove all water from liquid end before commissioning or rinse with a
suitable cleaning agent if using chemicals that should not come into contact
with water!
•Before unscrewing the control unit disconnect the mains lead from the
power supply!
•Observe applicable national directives during installation!
6.1 Assembling dosing pump
TAKE CARE
•The gamma/ L should be fixed in such a way as to prevent vibration!
•Suction and discharge valve must be upright (bleed valve in self-bleed liquid
ends)!
•Ensure free access for operation and maintenance!
Assembling dosing pump The base of the dosing pump must be mounted on a firm, horizontal surface.
6.2 Assembling tubing
6.2.1 Installation for non-self bleeding pumps
CAUTION
•Tubing must be free from stress and kinks when fitted!
•When dosing extremely aggressive or hazardous chemicals it is advisable to
install a bleed valve that feeds back to the container and isolation valves on
the prime and discharge sides.
•In order to ensure connections are fast, use correctly sized clamping rings
and nozzle unions!
•Use only original hoses with specified dimensions and wall-thicknesses!
•Do not exceed maximum permissible priming pressure (see section 14)!
•It is imperative that the maximum permissible operating pressure is not
exceeded (see section 14 and appendix documentation)!
GUIDELINE
The tubing should be attached in such a way as to allow lateral detachment of the
gamma/ L and the liquid end if necessary!

Installing suction tubing
TAKE CARE
Do not exceed maximum permissible priming pressure on the prime side (see
section 14)!
GUIDELINE
•Make suction tubing as short as possible.
•Suction tubing should be rising in order to prevent air bubbles forming!
•As far as possible use swept bends for bends rather than right angle bends!
•Measure the length and cross section to ensure that the vacuum created by the
priming action does not reach the vaporising pressure of the feed chemical! In
extreme cases excess vacuum on the priming side can cause breaks in the liquid
column or incomplete return stroke!
•Please note: “Priming lift x density of feed chemical £max. priming lift” (in m WG)
Assembly of foot valve SCut the free suction end so that the foot valve hangs just above the container base; for
chemicals with impurities or sedimentation at the bottom, the foot valve should be
positioned well above this layer.

Assembly and Installation
Installing pressure tubing
TAKE CARE
•The discharge tubing should be laid in such a way as to ensure that the
pressure surge of the discharge stroke does not exceed the maximum
operating pressure. As overload protection for the discharge tubing, it is
advisable to fit a relief valve feeding back into the chemical supply container,
e.g. a ProMinent®multifunction valve.
•Check that the length and cross section of the tubing are correct!
6.2.2 Installation of self-bleeding pumps
CAUTION
•Observe all installation and safety guidelines for standard pumps!
•Do not exceed tubing cross section, priming lift, priming pressure or
viscosity of feed chemical!
In addition to the suction and discharge tubing, a bypass tube should be connected. This is
attached to the bleed valve on the upper side of the liquid end (red packing, see fig. 06).
GUIDELINE
The discharge valve is located on the front of the liquid end in the SEK type!
Installation of by-pass tubing
GUIDELINE
When the suction side is primed, at least equal pressure must exist in the bypass
tubing!
The pump can operate when the bypass is primed and the suction side is
depressurised.
SPlace the tube onto the bypass nozzle and/or bleed valve of the self-bleed function liquid
end (recommended: flexible 6x4 PVC hose)
SPush the free end of the tube back into the dosing container
SCut the bypass tube so that it does not enter the feed chemical.

6.3 Electrical installation
WARNING
•Installation must be carried out by a trained engineer!
• Disconnect gamma/ L from mains power supply during installation!
•Observe applicable national directives when installing the dosing pumps!
•When connecting with parallel inductive power consumers a switch
contact must be fitted, e.g. relay or contactor!
Connection
to mains power supply Connect the gamma/ L to the mains power supply using the mains lead
Parallel connection to
inductive power consumers If the gamma/ L is connected to the mains in parallel with inductive power consumers
(e.g. solenoid valve, motor) they must be electrically isolated. This will avoid damage caused
by induction and voltage surges when switching off.
SFit individual contacts for the gamma/ L and supply power via auxiliary contactor or relay.
If this is not possible, then:
SConnect a varistor in parallel (order number 710912) or an RC circuit, 0.22 mF/220 W
(order number 710802).
