under ordering instructions for each of our respective pumps, or contact a
White Knight representative for assistance.

PUMP MONITORING AND TRANSLATION: Many tools monitor a pump
while it is running and have alarms set for when pumps cycle too fast or too
slow, which could indicate a problem. White Knight pumps can use several
types of monitoring that provide a signal back to the tool that allows
monitoring of the White Knight pump. The problem is that no two brands or
models of pumps have the same displacement per stroke. This means that if
upper or lower limits are set in a monitoring system and a different brand or
model of pump is installed, that alarms could be immediately thrown. There
are two ways to overcome this problem. First of all, the alarms set in the tool
or its monitoring system can be reprogrammed. The biggest problem with
this option is that many times if a tool is upgraded with manufacturer’s
software later on the alarms are re-set. This can also cause problems with
the same tools in one area running different pumps, especially in the event of
a gradual change out. Different tools with different needs for programs can
become hectic. Because of this, White Knight developed
Merlin

pump
translators. Merlin

pump translators are programmable at the White Knight
factory or by the user with the purchase of an additional kit. The Merlin

pump translators are capable of converting output to a fractional derivative of
actual operation based on displacement in order to provide monitoring
information back to tool similar to what signals would have been with other
pump of different displacement at similar flow. This eliminates the need for
reprogramming alarms in most instances.

PULSATION DAMPENING:
When replacing one of our competitor’s pumps
for reasons of potential metal contamination take care to eliminate any other
source of potential metal contamination that you can. In many instances
when replacing a competitive pump with a White Knight, pulsation dampeners
that have been required before are no longer needed due the low pulsation
created by White Knight pumps. If this is the case, remove any pulsation
dampeners that have metal parts in them and discard them. If pulsation
dampening is still required, replace the pulsation dampener with a zero metal
pulsation dampener such as the White Knight Flatliner

pulsation dampener.

PASSING SOLIDS: Make sure that if there is a potential for solids (such as
wafer shards) to be introduced into the liquid that the pump will be pumping
that a suitable pre pump filter such as the White Knight Catcher

is installed.
White Knight warrants all White Knight pumps against passing solids when
used in conjunction with a Catcher

.

AIR VALVE AND REGULATOR NEEDS: Double check to make sure that all
air regulators and solenoid valves are sufficiently sized to run the White
Knight pump that you are installing.
