VIPER 4 (ROS) INITIAL SET-UP
3. Touch the Injection Calibration tab.
4. Touch the product indicators along the left of the prompt to select the control channel to which the pump is
assigned. The following Sidekick Pro injection pump settings will be available:
CALIBRATE PUMP
Touch the Calibrate button to begin the pump calibration process. Refer to the “Calibrate the Injection Pump”
on page 68 for details on calibrating the Sidekick Pro injection pump.
PRIME PUMP
Touch the Prime button to begin priming the Sidekick Pro injection pump. Refer to Prime the Injection Pump
section on page 68 for assistance with priming the Sidekick Pro injection pump.
DIAGNOSTICS
The bottom of the Injection Calibration tab displays advanced diagnostics information for the Sidekick Pro
injection system.
Error Status and Solution. If any pump error conditions are encountered while applying injected products, the
error type will be displayed on the Injection Calibration tab. A brief description of the error code and potential
solution is displayed in the solution area. The injection node is capable of detecting the following flow error
conditions:
•
Maximum vacuum (plugged strainer, chemical too thick)
•
Plugged pump valve or injection line
•
Empty tank
•
Severe leak on the inlet or outlet hose
•
Hand valves in the wrong position
Each of these flow errors are isolated to provide minimal troubleshooting and to reduce machine down time.
For additional assistance with troubleshooting the injection system, refer to the Sidekick Pro Calibration and
Operation Manual. Refer to the ROS Basic Operation Manual for information on enabling or disabling audible
alarms for the above error conditions.
Injection Pressure. The pressure monitored at the pump outlet.
Flow/Encoder Ratio. The Flow to Encoder Ratio is used with the FER Cal to identify the relative efficiency of the
pump. This area displays a value between 0 and 100.
NOTE: This number is an indicator of pump health and cannot be used to measure flow from the pump.
Motor RPM. The current RPM of the injection pump motor is displayed in this field.
Voltage. The high current voltage detected by the CAN motor control node is displayed in this area.
PWM Percent. This value represents the current pump capacity being used or how hard the pump is being driven.
A value of 100 indicates the pump is being driven at maximum capacity.
Node Temperature. The temperature of the motor control node is displayed in this area. This value may be used
with the motor RPM value to help determine how hard the pump is being driven.
Total Hours. The total run time of the selected injection pump is displayed in this area.
PUMP PRIMING AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
Before starting an application using the injection system, perform the following procedures to ensure the system
is properly calibrated and ready for chemical application:
1. Verify the ROS setup for any injection control channels are configured properly.
