Bucket testing on ace blender
1) The document provides steps for conducting a bucket test to calibrate a chemical pump using the ACE software. 2) Key steps include selecting the master flow rate for the bucket test, running the pump in auto at a set point, and comparing the volume in the test bucket to the volume pumped in ACE to check accuracy. 3) If the test is not accurate, the document provides troubleshooting steps like zeroing the micromotion transmitter or performing an auto-tune of the pump settings.

- 2. Prime Pump • NeverRun a Dry PUMP • Full Throttle on Blender Engine • Prime Pump with Manual Switch • Recirculate to get rid of Air • Use Chem-tanks so limit switches can be tested • Check settings such as right pump slope / Rate • Check Micro-motion slope 6000 • Select master rate to bucket Test-23.81 • Use a calibrated bucket to test
- 3. Select Master FlowRate Bucket Test
- 4. Run Pump InAuto at Set point 1 or 2 • Why 23.81 for Rate because at set point of 1 you will get 1 gallon in 1 minute. • GPM = Set point x suction rate x .042 • Make sure rate lines up in auto to set point • If not check your settings Right pump slope? • If rate lines up to set point calibrate tack to micromotion.

- 6. Tack Calibration toMicromotion Steps • On auto, pump rate lines out to set point • Open Bucket test screen • Start Timer run for 15 seconds • Stop • Depress volume below Micromotion Button • A new calibration number will be displayed • Select yellow button accept new calibration • Select number • Calibration complete • This can be done during job as well

- 8. Bucket Test Steps •Place calibrated bucket under LA manifold hose • Enter set point (1) • Master flow rate bucket test =23.81 • Open bucket test menu • Enter shut off volume (1 gallon) • Select Delay 7 Auto button • After pump shuts off compare volume in test bucket with volume pumped in Ace, 1 min = 1 gal Looks good go to next pump and bucket test Not good- zero micromotion or Auto tune pump

- 11. Steps to ZeroMicromotion • Make sure micromotion is flooded with fluid and shut in so fluid can’t flow. • Find Micromotion Can under control stand for pump working on. • Press little red button gently with a paper clip to zero. The lights on can will cycle until it appears green again. • Set up to bucket test again.

- 14. Auto Tune Steps •First write down PB and I term for pump • Local Only Tab find Auto Self tune Select • On list select pump Auto tuning • Select Set to Auto OPEN (engine at max rpms) • Auto tune screen pops up and pump runs find min and max start points. • When it says finished save results with mouse • Check PB and I term again, put old PB term in (150-250) • Remember fluid has to be flowing through pump while doing this. • When done set up and bucket test

- 16. Trouble shooting • Checkfittings and connections • Pump packing • Clean inside micromotion with a flexible shot gun cleaning rod. • Check you settings in ACE – Slopes • Check micromotion can for tampering slope not 6000 • Prolink Into micromotion can and check calibrations setting which are listed on Micromotion tag. • Check Max and Min rates for pump. • Seek help from your Electronics Tech.
- 17. Check ACE FILEFOR Micromotion Slope Changing. ( Cheating )
- 18. Go Through LA1-LA10looking for slope change. IT will never Bucket Test Right Unless slope is 6000
