1. Introduction
Introduction:
Metering Pumps “VMS MF” Series are the ideal solution for low / middle dosing of chemicals. All control and setup parameters
are available through a digital keyboard and they are displayed on a LCD backlit display. Pump has “Level” input ,

Pump’s capacity

Flow rate is determined by the stroke speed (frequency) adjustment.

However dosing accuracy is guarantee within an adjustment range from 30% to 100%.

Working modes:

Pump can work in differents ways. See related chapters for extended description of each single mode.

CONSTANT mode.
Pump doses at a constant rate set in “SPH” (strokes for hour), “SPM” (strokes for
minute) or “LPH” (litres per hour) parameters set during program session.

DIVIDE mode.
External pulses from a water meter are divided by a value set during program
session. The pump doses with a rate determined by this parameter.

MULTIPLY mode.
External pulses from a water meter are multiplied by a value set during program
session. The pump doses with a rate determined by this parameter.

PPM mode.
Dosing rate is determined by pulses from a water meter on the base of set PPM,
chemical product concentration (%) and quantity for each single stroke set during
program session.

PERC mode
Dosing rate is determined by pulses from a water meter on the base of set PERC
(%), chemical product concentration (%) and quantity for each single stroke set
during program session.

MLQ mode
Dosing rate is determined by pulses from a water meter on the base of set MLQ
(milliliters per quintal), chemical product concentration (%) and quantity for each
single stroke set during program session.

BATCH mode.
Signal from an external contact starts the pump to dose the set quantity.

VOLT mode.
Voltage from an external device drives the pump that doses proportionally using a minimum and
maximum of strokes for minute set during program session (0 ÷ 10 VDC).

mA mode.
Current from an external device drives the pump that doses proportionally using
a minimum and maximum of strokes for minute set during program session

All hoses connections must be performed using only hands’ force!
No tongs required!

Delivery hose must be firmly fixed to avoid suddenly movements

that could damage near objects!

Suction hose must be shorter as possible and installed in vertical

position to avoid air bubbles suction!

Use only hoses compatibles with product to dose! See chemical

compatibility tabl.
If dosing product is not listed please consult full compatibility table or
contact chemical’s manufacturer!

Feeder should be interlocked with a no-flow protection device to automatically

shut-off the pumps when there is no flow!

Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent cross connection of chemicals!

Chemical feeding must be stopped during backwash cycles and periods of no-
flow as these conditions may introduce the potential for chemical overdosing.
Not doing so may result in elevated chemical concentrations and hazerdous
gas introduction into the pool or spa.

SET [05]
When the pump receives a pulse from the water meter it starts the dosing
timeout activity through an amount of time (from the first pulse to the following one).
At the beginning the pump doesn’t know the time lapse between the first and
E Key the second pulse. So it’ll dose the product in the fastest way. From the second
pulse, the pump will dose the product correctly.

timeout This function set the maximum time between a pulse and the following one.
Once that this time is exceeded the pump will reinitialize the dosing activity as
020 sec the first time that a pulse has been received.

Default value is 120 seconds.

To set “Timeout” function, between the minimum (1 sec.) and the maximum
(999 sec.), proceed as follow:

- Use “UP” key to increase the blinking “_” digit.

Enter number of pulses that pump must receive to stop or

Pulses Timeout does not take part in “Divide” working mode and in all working
modes when the result is a division.

External Pulses

The first time that the pump receives a pulse it doesn’t know
the time between this pulse and the following one. So the
pump will run faster as possible. “Timeout” function forces
the pump to work in this way, once a specified amount of
time has been exceeded.

After second pulse the pump will know the time between
a pulse and the following one.

So it’ll dose optimizing the dosage through the time.

E Appendix. Chemical Compatibility Table
Chemical Solenoid driven metering pumps are widely used to dose chemical fluids and it is important that the
compatibility table most suitable material in contact with fluid is selected for each application. This compatibility table serves
as a useful help in this respect. All the informations in this list are verified periodically and believed to
be correct on the date of issuance. All the informations in this list are based on manufacturer’s data
and its own experience but since the resistance of any material depends by several factors this list is
supplied only as an initial guide, in no way manufacturer makes warranties of any matter respect to
the informations provided in this list.
