3.0  Pumping Instructions

3.1  Preparation

•  The Control Unit is shipped without the batteries in the housing.   

  Install these before operating the unit. The Control Unit uses four  

  (4) AA alkaline batteries.
•  Do not let water get inside the Control Unit. Always position the  

  Control Unit physically higher than the sample discharge and  

  wellhead. This helps avoid the siphoning effect, where gravity back- 

  flow of sample water can enter the Control Unit and cause damage.
•  Do not release any pressure from the compressed gas supply until all  

  preparatory steps are complete.

3.2  Pumping Set Up 

1.  Connect the Supply Line to the Air In fitting on the Control Unit. Attach the 

other end to the compressed gas supply source.

2.  Ensure your pump is installed to the desired pumping depth with the sample 

and drive tubing properly connected.

3.  Connect the Drive Line from the Air Out fitting to the quick connect on 

the wellhead manifold (or air supply connection on a reel). The Drive Line 

supplied, with the Quick Exhaust fitting, should always be used.

4.  Press any button on the keypad to turn the Control Unit on.
5.  Select the desired pumping settings.
6.  Set the compressed gas supply regulator to no more than 150 psi for the 

125 psi Control Unit, or 300 psi for the 250 psi Control Unit.

7.  Start the selected drive/vent cycle.
8.  Allow several cycles for water to reach the surface, then adjust the settings 

as necessary.

Exhaust

 

  NOTE

Always follow local health and 
safety practices.  Work safely!

 

  NOTE

Keep Control Unit physically higher 
than the sample discharge and 
wellhead.

 

  NOTE

While the drive/vent cycles are in 
progress it is not possible to edit the 
displayed site information or exit 
the site menu when using a Saved 
Setting.  

 

  NOTE

The Pressure Regulator on the 
Control Unit may hiss during 
operation; this is normal.   

 

  NOTE

You should always use the Drive 
Line supplied with the Control 
Unit, as it uses the Quick Exhaust 
fitting, which is required for proper 
operation.

 

  NOTE

When using a Solinst 12 Volt 
Compressor, or any other air 
compressor, it is recommended 
to use the 464 External Filter. See 
Section 4 for more details. 

 

  NOTE

The Control Unit will turn off after 
five minutes of being idle, provided 
the Unit is not cycling.  To turn the 
Unit off, hold down the OK button 
for at least 3 seconds.
