4.5 Set FVS (Flow Verification System)
Used to monitor the pump fluid output. If the pump does not dispense fluid
when pump head rotor is turning, the pump will go into an alarm mode and
stop. Blue-White offers a flow verification sensor that easily attaches to the inlet
fitting of the pump.
Default settings:
000 (off)
Navigate to

menu by pressing MENU button, then selecting Input
Setup, and then

.
Press UP or DOWN arrow to scroll through 0 - 9 on selected digit.
Press RIGHT arrow to scroll over to the next digit to right. If you pass your
desired digit, you can easily scroll back by continuously pressing RIGHT
button.
Press ENTER to save the changes and exit FVS screen.
To navigate back out of menus, select <-Esc and press ENTER button at the
bottom of every screen menu until you see the Run Mode screen displayed.
Flow Verification System
(sensor sold separately)
ProSeries-M pumps are equipped with a
Flow Verification System
which is
designed to stop pump and provide a contact closure output (setup in software)
in the event the sensor does not detect chemical during pump operation. This
could indicate a clogged injection fitting, empty chemical solution tank, worn
pump tube, loose tubing connection, etc.
To allow the pump to clear any gasses that may have accumulated during
stopper operation (such as with chlorine), an alarm delay time value from 1-
255 seconds must be programmed (an alarm delay value of 000 seconds
disables FVS system).
If a FVS alarm occurs, the pump will stop, send an external signal (if setup),
and the screen will flash FVS with an alarm icon.To clear the FVS alarm, you
must press the START button or re-cycle the input power (unplug power to
pump, then plug back in).
Install FVS Flow Sensor -
The Flow Verification Sensor (FVS) should be
installed on the inlet (suction) side of the pump tube. Sensor can be purchased
with connections for 3/8” OD x 1/4” ID pump tube inlet adapter for type “S”
pump tube assemblies or ½”F/NPT adapter designed to thread onto type “M”
pump tube assemblies.

Confirm the FVS flow range -
Flow Verification Sensor (FVS) will only
function within its operating range. Sensor model FV-100 has an operating
range of 30-300 ml/min (1-10 oz/min) when used as a flowmeter. However, due
to pressure drop across the sensor, the pump’s suction capability is limited to
14.7 psi. Therefore, when used with the peristaltic pump as a flow verification
sensor, the effective operating range is reduced to 30-200 ml/min. Note that if
the pump’s output is less than 30 ml/min, the sensor will not detect chemical
and a signal will not be sent to pump.

TFD Adjustment
Flex-Pro’s patented Tube Failure Detection (TFD) system is designed to detect
chemical sensitivity can be adjusted through the menu. Default setting (75%
sensitivity) will trigger an alarm with most water treatment chemicals with no false
triggering.
TFD sensitivity range = 75% (500 microsiemens) to 100% (430 microsiemens)
To set TFD sensitivity, press ENTER when INPUT SETUP is highlighted. Scroll
down and highlight SET TFD and press ENTER
To increase sensitivity, press UP arrow.
To decrease sensitivity, press DOWN arrow.

It is recommended to leave default setting at 75% sensitivity. This will
eliminate your chance of false triggers.
Only
increase sensitivity if the solution your pumping does not trigger the
TFD alarm at 75% sensitivity.
4.6 TFD (Tube Failure Detection)
Flex-Pro is equipped with a
Tube Failure Detection
System which is designed to
stop the pump and provide an output alarm (see Output menu) in the event pump
the tube should rupture and chemical enters the pump head. At the default
adjustment setting of 75%, the pump will detect a chemical with a conductivity
reading greater than 500 microsiemens. The system sensitivity can be increased
to 100%, reducing the conductivity to 430 microsiemens. Chemicals with a
conductivity of less than 430 microsiemens will not be detected.
This patented system is capable of detecting the presence of a large number of
chemicals including Sodium Hypochlorite (Chlorine), Hydrochloric (muriatic)
Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, and many others. The system will not be triggered by
water (rain, condensation, etc.) or silicone oil (roller and tubing lubricant).
If system has detected chemical, pump tube must be replaced and pump head
and roller assembly must be thoroughly cleaned. Failure to clean the roller
assembly will void warranty.
If TFD alarm occurs, pump will stop, close an alarm output (if configured), and
screen will flash TFD with an alarm icon.
Confirm Chemical Detection -
To determine if your chemical will be detected by
the system, remove the pump head cover and the pump tube and roller assem-
bly. Place a small amount of chemical in the bottom of the pump head - just
enough to cover the sensors. Replace the pump head cover only. When asked if
the tube was replaced, select “no” and press enter. Turn on the pump (press
start). If the TFD system detects the chemical, the pump will stop after a two
second confirmation period and the TFD Alarm screen will display. If the TFD
system does not detect the chemical, the pump will continue to run after the
confirmation period. Carefully clean the chemical out of the pump head being
sure to remove all traces of the chemical from sensor probes. Replace the roller
assembly and tubing. Replace the pump head cover. Press the START button to
clear the alarm condition and restart the pump.
