The opposite ends of these two cables plug into the male and female connectors on the bottom of the control box designated battery positive and negative. A second set of hands would be helpful at this point to help take some of the weight and to guide the control box into position. The batteries need to be kept clean and dry at all times, out of the rain, snow, ice, and direct sunlight, to increase longevity. xOk@}9v b;qSjHjB[JoRu\;JZvc!h:;=xd!a0`*h>SdA
endobj With the batteries fully charged, you can now turn on the system by putting the rocker switch on the outside of the control box in the on position. While holding the pump head by the riser tube, seat the safety tool securely on the split flange. AGM will cost triple but will last longer. The 4-gang terminal block offers access to 24VDC power for accessories such as a transfer pump, light or other appropriate device that does not exceed the available amperage. Once the solar panel was connected the batteries began to charge; by following the instructions in your Operators Manual you can now set the battery type and monitor the charge cycle by viewing the digital readout on the meter and the charge status LEDs. Modified on: Mon, Jul 11, 2022 at 4:13 PM, (The following instructions are very detailed, and should tell you everything you need to know.If you have questions, please phone 775-265-1220.). It is critical that, in high wind conditions, the PV cannot spin around or move and break the electrical connections to the control box.
You want to get the positive terminal of one battery as close as possible to the negative terminal of the second battery.
If the pump rod drops into the pump head the only way to retrieve it will be to remove the pump head and riser tube. <>>> Using your two 12 volt batteries we now need make a series connection of the two batteries to take them from being two 12 volt batteries to one 24 volt bank. Just like the Simple Pump itself, your gear motor assembly and control box have been built giving great care to precision. 4 0 obj

Center the stainless steel mounting bracket (.120 thick x 1.000 x 5.875 with two .530 holes and two .400 holes) in the 28.50 width of the battery box two inches down from the top edge of the box. You will need two 12v batteries: group 27 or 31 Deep Cycle (from almost any auto parts store), and minimum 100 amp-hour rating. You are ready to go. With a level, check the pole is vertical. The gear motor assembly is warranted against defective materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. Lift the riser tube (and pump head), and then remove the safety tool. Proceed wiith instructions for that mounting system. Note that all of these are those that must be replaced on any Simple Pump system, no matter what configuration driven by hand or motor. To prevent damage to the pump cylinder, pump head seals, and insure proper operation we must now raise the pump rod lifting the piston off the bottom and bringing the joint where the rod extension meets the main pump rod clear of the pump seals. (The rod gland is the topmost exposed component on the pump head.).
%%EOF The direction you turn is the opposite of normal turn clockwise to remove, rather than the normal counterclockwise. With the motor unit removed from the pump head, all you have left to do is to separate the 13 extension from the 24 extension and reinstall the handle assembly. Now you can slide the control box into its final position.

Note that 50psi relates to approximately110 feet of head.) Using a piece of leather or a thick rag and vise grips, hold on to the 24 section and remove the 13 section.
Keep in mind the power leads provided are 20 in length. A few general tips that may be useful are: We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that a mounting pole extend a full 3 below ground level. The battery enclosure should be high enough off the ground to avoid rain runoff and snow accumulation. ",#(7),01444'9=82. Dankoff, Surflo and Jabsco. BE CAREFUL! A possible reason for difficult movement is pump binding.one of the u-cup seals may not be seated in the machined groove. You should confirm that your pump is delivering at least one gallon of water with approximately 25 strokes with the lever handle system.
The linear bearing link drive translates the rotary action of the Simple Pump 24 volt DC gear motor to move the pump rod up and down on a precision ground and polished stainless shaft guided by two linear TEFLON bearing carriers. " #/_ :P $@! K? P0p/ @HH(Hhh( A,dKG.[y)k\< If you did not already, lower the riser tube so that at least 6 inches of riser tube are below the split flange on the cap.
If you have a 3 galvanized mounting pole (single module).mark the two .400 holes and drill with a 3/8 bit. Secure it firmly on the stainless nipple. Yes NOTE: Since needs for tank volume and pumping capacity will vary greatly, we do not provide the ambient tank or transfer motor. Adapt as needed.). Read Section 2. of lifting effort for each 100 feet of staticwater level depth. Photo is one example, only. (Custom lengths are also available.).
Lower the control box over the pump rod passing the pump rod thru the lower guide bearing first, the yoke and then the upper guide bearing aligning the pump head with the four mounting holes on the adaptor plate and secure. If the temperature at the planned site regularly peaks above 100 degrees F, we recommend operation of the motor in shade.
A 15 amp fuse is present and is intended to protect the control circuits only. This prevents operation of the motor when voltage is below 23.8 volts. Choose a location as close to the well as possible and practical, in order to eliminate any voltage drop between components (i.e loss of available power). The motor load must not be exceeded, and all instructions must be adhered to. NOTE: A low-voltage disconnect feature to protect the motor is built in the the Morningstar controller. At this point the negative terminal of the first battery and the positive terminal of the second battery are not being used. We recommend a break-in period of six hours. Use the 3/16 Allen key to loosen the pinch bolt and the 3 mounting bolts on the split flange enough to pull the pump head (including riser tube) up out of the well. Then proceed here to the section on electrical connections.
Lead acid will be the least expensive. This procedure will be reversed. There are rare but possible circumstances where someone might want to change back to hand operation. Before you lower the control box onto the pump rod and pump head; first, rotate by hand the lever arm which is attached directly to the motor shaft so it is pointing directly at the ground and parallel to the pump rod. Now, from either the 13 or 36 section just above Screw the handle back onto the pump rod and the handle bracket to the pump head with the four stainless steel screws. It is equally important for the pump head seals that only the smooth continuous rod pass by the seals on each stroke.
Four guide wires or ropes at 90 degrees can help hold the pole vertical while the concrete dries. After loosening the pinch bolt and the 3 mounting bolts on the split flange, pull the pump head up out of the well, enough to expose the bell end of the top PVC drop pipe and a couple of inches below that. JFIF C DC motors operating in ambient temperatures above 100 degrees F lose operating efficiency the hotter the ambient temperature, the less efficient.
Now connect these two cables at the two remaining male, female connectors on the bottom of the control box marked Panel positive and negative. Attach it, now, to the top of the current 24 rod. Lift up the 3/4 diameter SS pump rod 2 inchesto make sure that the piston is not sitting on the ball at the bottom of the pump cylinder.
endstream endobj startxref Now is the time where a second set of hands might be helpful to deal with the added weight of the control box and to assure easier alignment of the lower linear bearing, yoke, and upper linear bearing as you slide them down onto the 3/4 rod extension. The transfer pump is powered from the Simple Pump unit. Using the 3/16 Allen wrench, remove each of the four fasteners holding the lever arm mechanism to the pump head. This ends the preparation of an existing hand pump. 0 You will have raised the pump rod about four and a half to five inches insuring that at the bottom of the pump stroke the piston will not hit the bottom of the cylinder and the extension joint is always clear of the pump head seals.

The steel pole you purchased should be more than strong enough to hold the panel(s), provided it is installed properly. Transfer pumps include an integrated pressure switch. The switch turns the transfer pump on and off, according to a target pressure. Loosen or remove the two 5/16 Allen bolts on the yoke and using a large flat blade screw driver gently spread the opening in the yoke to clear the pump rod. Once the timer has been programmed, it will start and stop the pump at the selected times or you can manually start and stop using the switch on the timer. There is 1/4 of space between the bearing housing and the top of the rod gland when the holes are aligned.
SPECIAL NOTE: FOR TWO PANELS ONLYTwo MC-4 Y junction connectors are provided:(1) PV-AZB4 is a female to double male. The motor is a 24-volt DC unit that delivers the most amount of torque available in this size motor. Then lower the riser tube so that at least 6 inches of riser tube are below the split flange on the cap. Using the 9/64 Allen wrench, remove the six screws that attach the cover. If you are using a transfer motor to take water from an ambient tank to a pressure tank, you can power that motor from the Simple Pump system. Position the Linear Bearing Link Drive Mechanism. Thank you for purchasing the integrated Simple Pump Solar-Ready Motor.
The 5/16 ring terminal attaches to the empty negative post of the first battery, and the 3/8 ring terminal to the empty positive post of the second battery.

We use cookies to try and give you a better experience in Freshdesk Support Desk. Also keep in mind that the solar panel will be facing south and we do not want it to be shaded by any other structures, plants, trees, or even the pump itself. If the batteries fail or melt down the MorningStar will isolate them from the system with its built in circuit protections. 645 0 obj <> endobj During the break-in period, pump from the nozzle or unrestricted through a hose. Now loosen the four Allen bolts at the upper and lower guide bearings so that the bearings can be moved with little effort by hand. %PDF-1.5 % There are two issues that would need to be dealt with with increasing distance between the motor and the pressure tank voltage drop between the motor and the pressure switch and the resonant back-pressure wave that can arise. In that case, you will reverse the earlier procedure to remove the motor unit. Lift the pump rod so that the rod extension joint clears the top of the lower guide bearing one inch and tighten the two 5/16 bolts on the yoke. 3 0 obj It is extremely important to replace the fuse with only a 15 amp ATO/ATC automotive style fuse. TRANSFER PUMP: Pumps designed specifically for this job are available from a number of vendors, e.g. If the effortis any more than this,remove the pump head and try again to determine if theproblem is in the head.
Did you find it helpful? The recommended configuration is to pump into the ambient (i.e. Place stabilizing material such as course gravel or small rocks around the pole, to a depth of 1.5. The panel bracket has been secured to the pole. Lift the stainless rod up and down, by hand. <> :DO{aN~cZV.hY Z dz6)&T(J\6 /zS zp[h%hTyd]vP#.q The positive cables from each panel will plug into the two terminal side of the appropriate connector and leave the Y connector on a single cable, (provided) which will then plug into the control box at the PV positive connector. endstream 705 0 obj <>stream No. At this voltage even the best deep cycle batteries available would be at 75% discharge and would need to be fully charged before doing any work. Install the 36 rod in its place. There is no requirement to oil any of the LDBD system components. <> Lift the rod up exposing the joint. Make your hole 3 feet deep, with post hole digger or by hand. 24VDC can be obtained from the terminal block by placing the positive lead to the device on position #1 and the negative lead from the device on position #3 or #4 (with #1 being the furthest terminal position to the left and #4 being the furthest terminal position to the right as you face the terminal block with the door open). (It can be more frequent for industrial applications, or any application pumping water with a significantly non-neutral pH, or high particulate levels.) The pump head will be removed and the 36 rod detached. If you hate cookies, or are just on a diet, you can disable them altogether too.
This system places the battery box in the shade of the solar panel, as shown to the right. The Solar Panel has been mounted on the bracket and set to the desired sun angle as per bracket instructions. Lower the Linear Bearing Link Drive Mechanism (LBLD) so that the stainless rod is inserted through three openings. Both of these issues can be dealt with by using a mini-pressure tank(or some other form of hydraulic shock absorber)very close to the motor, and then pumping out to the main pressure tank. How freely it moves is an indication of what the motor is working against. Then proceed to Section 3: Installation. Notice that one of the ring terminals is larger in diameter than the other, 3/8 and 5/16. (Sakrete is convenient for this job.). Disconnect the 3/4 stainless rod from the topmost sucker rod. This puts the connecting piece between the lever arm and the yoke also parallel to the pump rod and the yoke at 90 degrees to the pump rod. This leaves the two negative cables coming off of the panels which will plug into the other Y connector and then on to the control box on a single cable to be plugged into the PV negative connector. As long as the gear motor system is pumping correctly and not causing the motor to overload, no maintenance is required. The modules are grounded in the J-box by means of a green bonding wire that attaches to the aluminum frame, which is then bolted to the aluminum bracket, that is bolted to the steel pipe, which is sunk in the ground. When you lower the LBLD onto the stainless rod, be sure that the four mounting holes below the lower linear bearing are aligned with the four mounting holes on the pump head, that held the lever arm mechanism in place. TANKS: See the range of Bushman drinking water storage tanks, on the bottom of this page:http://www.loomistank.com/bushman-tanks.shtml. Align the holes for the four mounting bolts with the four holes on the flat rear of the pump head.

If the pump does not run at this time you will need to set the time and day in the timer, program start and stop times, or use the manual override as per instructions. This positions the motor drive at the very bottom of the pump stroke.
the short steel tube connecting the pump head to the top drop pipe).
When moving parts are at work, precision parts move more easily and this means less wear, and a longer service life for the equipment. Starting with a fully-functional lever-arm pump, what follows are the step-by-step installation instructions to remove the handle assembly and install the motor. (If the system takes a direct lightning strike nothing will save it.). Add at least one full bag of concrete to the hole. The handle screws on to the pump rod in the OPPOSITE direction to regular screws and bolts you turn counter-clockwise to tighten. Sorry we couldn't be helpful. There are no connections to be made inside the control box, they have all been made for you at Simple Pump.
If the charge controller shuts down in an over-load situation for any reason turn the rocker switch off before removing the drive system cover. Before operating the pump for the first time we want to make sure the battery bank is fully charged to 100% of its capacity. DO NOT ATTACH THE SAFETY COVER AT THIS TIME. At this point you are ready to mount your solar array.
