INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP MODULE
3.1 PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
•
Determine pump module location
• Identify water supply/connection for the system
• Determine routing of the high pressure manifold from the pump.
•
Establish drainage location from the pump.
•
Verify correct electrical power supply to the pump.
• Determine all of the above for optional Equipment - Sectioning Controllers, Temperature/Humidity
Controllers, Reverse Osmosis, UV sterilizers, etc...
3.2 POSITIONING THE PUMP MODULE
The pump module requires a flat, level surface. Position selection will largely depend on the availability of power and
water, but remember the points outlined on the previous pages as the terms of the pump warranty depend on it.
A concrete floor or a concrete slab is ideal. Using a level, ensure that the BIGHORN unit sits as level and plumb as
possible.
3.3
WATER SUPPLY AND CONNECTION
The water supply should be capable of 1.5 times the maximum flow of the pump as shown in the table below.

BIGHORN 1000 1.50 6.00 20 / 1.40
BIGHORN 2000 3.00 12.00 20 / 1.40
Correct water pressure and supply rate are essential to pump operation. All pump modules require a minimum of 20
P.S.I. (1.40 BAR) and a maximum of 90 P.S.I. (6.20 BAR) while in operation. The pressure should always be constant
and not fluctuate outside these ranges, especially on system start up. All pump modules are equipped with an inlet
water fault delay timer that tolerates small drops in pressure, but will ultimately “fault off” if low pressure is present
for more than a few seconds.
Ensure that either rubber hose, copper or PVC pipe is used
to provide the correct water supply to the BIGHORN unit.
Never use steel or galvanized steel fittings. Always use the
largest diameter pipe possible.
The inlet hose connection is 3/8” Female NPT Thread
The outlet hose connection is ¼” Male thread NPT
Use care and do not over tighten.
3.4
INLET WATER HOSE
MicroCool can supply an inlet hose connection kit for your
BIGHORN pump – call your MicroCool specialist and ask for
item number IHK0001.
3.5 PUMP DRAINAGE
After the pump module shuts down, the water remaining in the manifold lines will drain out through the pump module
and the end of the atomization lines. Ensure that the drain outlet is routed to a suitable drainage point to avoid
flooding. A 6 foot (1.8 M) low pressure drain hose is provided from the drain solenoid. This hose can be extended
as necessary.
