1 Safety Precautions

CAUTION

Do not under any circumstances open the controller or motor. Levitronix® does not assume responsibility for any damage, which occurs under such circumstances.

CAUTION

High magnetic field strength of pump impeller.

The pump system contains a rotor magnet with high field strength. This may alter or damage the calibration of sensitive electronic devices and measuring instruments in the immediate surroundings. Keep at a safe distance from the rotor, computers, monitors and all magnetic data storage media (e.g. disks, credit cards, audio, video tapes etc.)

! WARNING Hazardous voltage may be present.

The controller must be grounded and placed in a spill protected environment. Do not under any circumstances open the powered controller.

! WARNING

High magnetic field strength of pump impeller.

The pump system contains a rotor magnet with high field strength. Pace maker may be influenced and magnetic forces may lead to contusions. Keep distance to pace makers and handle impeller with care.

! WARNING

TOXIC CHEMICALS may be present.

When using the system to pump chemicals, skin contact and toxic gases may be hazardous to your health. Wear safety gloves and other appropriate safety equipment.

For double safety it is required to place the pump head with the motor in a contained enclosure.

! WARNING

Do not miss-match the power extension cables for connection of the motor to the controller of the BPS-4 pump system with the one’s of the BPS-2000 as this may destroy the controller. The BPS-4 power extension cables are designated with “MCAP-4.x” and the one’s of the BPS-2000 with “MCAP-2000.x”.

3.3 Temperature Monitoring To avoid overheating of the system, the controller and motor temperatures are monitored online with an internal sensor. If the controller temperature exceeds 70°C (158°F) or the motor temperature 90°C (194°F) for a duration of more than 10 minutes, the system goes into an error state and the pump stops. At 80°C (176 F) controller temperature or 100°C (212°F) motor temperature, the system stops immediately.

3.4 Thermal Management

3.4.1 Motor Temperature

The motor temperature depends on the ambient and liquid temperature, as well as on the hydraulic operation point. Figure 15, Figure 16 and Figure 17 illustrate the temperature characteristics of the motor depending on these parameters. For higher liquid temperatures and hydraulic operating points active cooling is recommended. Figure 18 shows the temperature curves resulting by cooling with the ACM-4.x Air Cooling Module.

(Eq. 1)

All above presented thermal data are typical values, which are partly based on measurements and partly on interpolations with a simplified thermal model and are therefore only guideline values and are suitable for a first layout of the basic thermal concept. It is recommended to check the thermal values with the motor placed on the final location and under worst case performance conditions of the application.

In order to account for thermal variations (like ambient temperature, closed chemical cabinets or corners without ventilations) and to not significantly reduce the MTBF of the motor it is recommended to keep about 20 0C safety distance to the absolute thermal limit of the motor (90 0C) when designing the thermal concept of the pump system.

3.4.2 Controller Temperature

The controller has internal fans for cooling. Depending on the ambient temperature and the placement of the controller additional cooling may be required (see Figure 19). To improve cooling of the controller, place the device into a moving air stream. If the controller is mounted in a compact area or adjacent to additional heat sources (e.g. a 2nd controller) ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.

4.1.2 Installation Instructions

! WARNING

Hazardous voltage may be present.

Always isolate the electrical power supply before making or changing connections to the unit.

To remove the power it is recommended to use an over-current or circuit breaker in close proximity to the controller.

! WARNING

Hazardous voltage may be present.

The controller housing must be properly grounded. Use one of the DIN-rail screws on the back side of the controller housing.

! WARNING

Incorrect mounting of motor connector. Short circuit possible.

Assure that the “POWER INPUT” connector from the motor is correctly aligned with the connector of the controller before it is plugged in (Figure 22). If excessive force is used it is possible to plug in the connector with the wrong pin alignment, hence causing short-circuits.

1. Connect the protective earth wire with a crimp-type end on one of the two DIN-rail screws (see Figure 21 / right) on the backside of the controller (see also protective earth labels on controller). Use the standard DIN-rail screws already mounted on the clips. Do not use longer screws as they may generate short-circuit on the PCB.

2. Connect the two motor connectors (sensor and power) to the controller. Assure that the “POWER INPUT” connector from the motor is correctly aligned with the connector of the controller before it is plugged in (Figure 22). If excessive force is used it is possible to plug in the connector with the wrong pin alignment, hence causing short-circuits.

3. Connect the PLC-A module (or user interface LUI-A for standalone operation) to the controller (see section 4.2.2).

4. Connect the AC power input connector. Make sure that the polarities are correct (see Figure 21):

• 1 x 230V (1-phase) L1 ( L), L2 ( N), PE (= Power Earth)

• 3 x 200V or 208V (3-phase) L1 ,L2, L3, PE (lines can be switched) (Y-voltage = 115V or 120V AC)

• Minimum Wire Gauge = AWG 18 (Diameter = 1.02 mm)

• External fuses of 10A/slow (or equivalent circuit breaker) in all power lines are recommended (see Figure 3)

5. To secure the connectors, tighten all retaining screws following the torque specifications in Table 7.

5 Operation 5.1 Overview of Main Operation Modes The bearingless pump system BPS-4 can be driven in two main modes: “speed control” and “process (flow, pressure) control”. Figure 26 illustrates the configuration of the system for speed control, where the speed can be set by the user over various interfaces. If process parameters like flow or pressure have to be controlled precisely, the system can be configured according to Figure 27 with an external pressure or flow-sensor.

Figure 26: System operation for “speed control”

Figure 27: System operation for closed loop “process control” with a pressure or flow sensor

CAUTION

To be considered for Firmware S1.48 with Revision < 05 or other Firmware with no “dry running” algorithm implemented:

Standard speed limit is set to 8000 rpm. However, in case of dry running conditions (for example during priming) the set speed should not exceed 4000 rpm as the impeller could become unstable, which can result in the abrasion of the encapsulation of the impeller.

State “Off”:

The pump system is switched off and the motor has no power. In this state, the Manual User Interface LUI is enabled or the Levitronix Service Software has full control.

State “ON” (speed control mode):

The pump system is switched ON and the impeller is rotating with the referenced speed. The motor has electrical power when in this state. In this state, the Manual User Interface LUI is disabled and RS232 commands are ignored.

State “ON” (process control mode):

The pump system is switched ON and the impeller speed is controlled in order to get the referenced flow/pressure. The motor has electrical power when in this state. In this state, the Manual User Interface LUI

is disabled and RS232 commands are ignored.

State “Error”:

If an error according to Table 10 occurs in the pump system, the system defaults to the Error state. The designated digital output on the PLC Interface Module is set to 0 V. The pump system is switched OFF. By activating the “Reset” input the system gets back to the “Off” state.

6 Inspection and Maintenance

6.1 Replacement Interval of the Impeller The impeller has a limited lifetime depending on the chemical type, concentration and temperature of the fluid which is pumped. Therefore a preventive periodical exchange of the impeller is recommended. Contact the Levitronix Technical Service Department (see Section 8) for further information on replacement times.

6.2 Impeller Replacement Procedure

6.2.1 Preparation

Before starting the impeller exchange procedure the parts and tools illustrated in Figure 30 should be prepared. Impeller exchange kits, which contain this parts and tools, are available at Levitronix® (see Table 4).

Figure 30: Parts for impeller change-out

The following warnings and cautions should be read carefully before starting the exchange of the impeller.

! WARNING

The impeller could splash toxic or corrosive chemicals because of the strong magnetic forces. Flush the pump housing before opening it.

! WARNING

Harmful chemicals may be present.

Skin contact and toxic gases may be hazardous to your health. Wear safety gloves and other appropriate safety equipment.

! CAUTION

The rotating impeller could cause injury. Do not run the pump system when opening the pump head.

CAUTION

Pay attention to the magnetic forces when handling the impeller. The attraction of magnetic parts and particles should be avoided in order to keep the impeller and the pump head clean and free of contamination.

6.2.2 Instructions for Replacement

1. Power down the pump system and remove the AC power. If necessary, allow the housing to cool to a workable temperature.

2. Unscrew the top of the pump head and remove it along with the sealing ring.

3. Remove the impeller with the Impeller Exchange Tool. Hook the claws of the Impeller Exchange Tool into two opposing orifices of the impeller (see Figure 30).

4. Inspect the wet area of the pump head carefully. In case of material damage, also replace the pump casing.

5. Place the new impeller into the pump casing using the Impeller Exchange Tool.

6. If necessary, remove the existing O-Ring and gently press the new O-Ring into the lid of the pump casing.

CAUTION Use always the specified O-Ring type. If necessary, consult the Levitronix® Technical Service Department. Do NOT twist or roll the O-Ring and avoid to adding scratches or particles as this may cause leaking to occur.

7. Press the lid with the O-ring flush into the bottom of the pump casing.

8. Carefully tighten the 8 Pump Mounting Screws. The screws should not be used to press the lid with the O-ring into the bottom of the pump casing. Do not apply too much torque. The torque should be

Maximum torque for PVDF M8: 60 Ncm

Note: These are typical values for the standard pump head CP-4.5. Refer to the relevant pump head specification drawings for other configurations, which may have different values.

9. Start up the system and check if the impeller is rotating properly and the pump head doesn’t leak.

10. If the pump head leaks check an make sure the lid and the O-Ring are properly pressed into the bottom of the pump casing. It may be necessary to change the O-Ring if it has been damaged.

7 Troubleshooting

7.1 Troubleshooting using the PLC-Interface-Module PLC-A The PLC-Interface-Module provides a Warning and an Error signal. The source of error, however, cannot be identified. In case of a system error, use the Levitronix Service Software.

7.2 Troubleshooting using the Levitronix User Interface LUI-A The Levitronix Handheld User Interface does not display warnings. In case of an error the pump stops and the handheld displays a specific error message. It is also possible to read the last error that stopped the pump. After a controller restart or reset the error information is removed. After a reset or restart the error information is canceled (this can be different for other firmware configurations).

7.3 Troubleshooting using Controller LEDs The controller has three Status LEDs:

LED designator

Color

Description

“DSP power on” Green LED is on if supply voltage of signal electronics is present.

“Reset active” Red LED is on during startup of the Digital Signal Processor and when the reset button is pressed.

“Power output not active” Green LED is on if the switched output stages of the controller are disabled.

“Power on” Red LED is on if the voltage supply (5V and 12V DC) for the power drivers is present.

Table 11: Controller LC325 status LEDs

7.4 Troubleshooting with Service Software
