How to start the dosing pump

**7thheaven** · 31.08.2009, 00:02

HI~

I have SA dosing pump and want to know how to start this pump.

The following is what I have done.
0. I connected the hose. Right side hose at pump, I put it in the KH container and the left hose at pump, at the sump.
1. I set the date and time.
2. I choose dosing program
3. I select the pump 1
4. Set the Auto mode
5. Set the 6times a day
6. Set the 10ml each times
7. Save Yes.

The pump display moved main display but After this there is no change.
I also push the red button for remove the air. I waited dosing working during the day but this pump did not work.
The PIN is 0000.
Was there I missed?

Hmm..

I found this in RC Profilux forum

Auto mode
In the mode you simply set how many ML you wish each pump station to dose over a 24 hour period and the controller will auto dose each programme over a 24 hour period never overlapping two dosings at any one time.

That means If I set this 10PM yesterday, The pump will work after 10PM today?

If Yes, I should wait until 10PM today.

Hi,
I found this previous thread which may help you.

I don't have a standalone pump so can't help much with the rest of it.
But did you say that it did not work when you pushed the red button.
From what I can see this should make the pump operate no matter what(assuming it is plugged in of course.

How do you know that the pump did not run - did you watch the pump permanently the whole day?
With your settings it will be started 6 times a day, each time for about 6s (assuming you did not change the default calibration of 60ml/s).

If it is pump 1 we are talking about it will be switched on at these times: 0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00

I set the program Sunday about 22:00.(30th Sun 22:00)

You mean the first Dosing would start 31th Mon 00:00?

Now It is 15:30 (31th August Monday)in Korea. I will check dosing pump at 20:00

and let you know.. Thanks.
