2.0 Vitamin Metering: Edit / Alarms
The Edit Sub mode allows you to set the vitamin-metering rate and the pump direction. Do not set a
rate that exceeds the capabilities of the motor/pump head/tubing combination. VitaPumps come
with a 160-rpm motor and either a Tandem 1081 peristaltic pump head for thin walled tubing, or an
FMI Q1 Sanitary head. Most dairies use the Tandem 1081 with thin walled tubing. This has a flow
range of 0.5 – 554 gm/min depending on the size of tubing used, and will handle up to 30 psi of
backpressure. Please refer to the flow rate chart in Appendix “A”. For those facilities pumping
against higher backpressures, an FMI Q1 Sanitary piston pump head is used. This head has a flow
range of 0.54 – 42.7 gm/min at up to 100 psi of backpressure. Setting a metering rate higher than
the pump can deliver will trigger the Pump Rate Alarm.
2.1 PUMP RATE : Use the “Incr” and “Decr” keys to set the metering rate in grams/minute.
2.2 PUMP DIRECTION: Use the “Up” and “Down” keys to choose between CW (Clockwise) and
CCW (Counterclockwise). Always use CW when using a Q1 Piston Head.
The Alarm sub mode is used to configure the Pump Rate and Batch Weight Alarms. All alarms have
3 options:
OFF (disabled), BEEP ONLY (Audible Alarm), and PUMP STOP (Stops the pump, and
provides Audible Alarm). The VitaPump is equipped with a Remote Alarm feature that will provide a
5VDC signal for a PLC controlled alert device.
2.3 BATCH WEIGHT: Used in conjunction with Weight Alarm (2.5 below) to alert the operator
that the vitamin bottle is nearly empty. Usually set to weight of full bottle minus 5%.
2.4 PUMP RATE: The Pump Rate alarm is triggered when the VitaPump is unable to maintain
the metering rate for any one-minute period. The motor will speed up in an attempt to
maintain the rate, and continue until it has reached 100% of motor speed. If configured to do
so, it will stop the pump and sound an audible alarm. Options: OFF, Beep Only, and Pump
Stop . This is normally a critical alarm, and should be set to PUMP STOP .
2.5 INTERRUPT: The Interrupt alarm is triggered when the VitaPump has been in a self-paused
state for more than 2 minutes. This usually occurs when the scale has been interfered with
(more vitamins poured into the bottle) while the scale is in
use! Options: OFF Beep Only,
and Pump Stop. This is normally a critical alarm, and should be set to PUMP STOP .
2.6 WEIGHT ALARM: Used in conjunction with Batch Weight above to alert operator of nearly
empty vitamin bottle. Options: OFF, Beep Only, and Pump Stop. Default is Beep Only.
