INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW:
The CTS from Fluid Metering Inc. is the solution for accurate, maintenance-free injection of liquid sodium hydroxide (Caustic Soda) typically used for pH adjustment, as well as other chemicals used in water and wastewater treatment applications.
The CTS Pump Module is a unique valveless pump design consisting of a rotating and reciprocating (CeramPump®) ceramic piston, direct coupled to a variable speed drive motor. The CTS pump injects the caustic soda directly into the main water stream, at back pressures up to 125 psi.

INSTALLATION & SETUP CTS MOUNTING (See diagram page 3)
For optimal performance, mount the CTS as close to and above the chemical supply reservoir. Securely fasten the CTS to a wall location with its right side convenient to the Sodium Hypochlorite supply vessel. There are 2 mounting holes (5/16” dia) on each side of the CL enclosure. Utilize all holes for most secure mounting and mount at least 1 ft. above supply reservoir.
Diagram 1 (below) shows the mounting hole locations.

Mounting Holes
IMPORTANT NOTE: There are 2 vent holes located at the top front of the enclosure (under the upper lip of the enclosure cover). Do not close, seal, or obstruct these vent openings. They are designed to prevent hazardous gases from building up in the
ELECTRICAL
On the upper left side of the CTS enclosure is a 7/8” conduit opening for the electrical supply (0-90 VDC source from the C100A or customer supplied voltage controller). Electrical supply wiring should be 3 conductor, minimum 22 AWG. Attach wiring to the lower 3 spade lugs of the terminal block as shown below in Diagram 3. Connect the ground wire to the left most spade lug. Connect the drive wires to the remaining 2 spade lugs.
It is recommended that electrical connections be coated with a corrosion protectant such as Aqua­lube or equivalent.
Note: The CTS is designed so that the motor will turn in the proper direction, regardless of input

FLUIDIC CONNECTIONS
The CTS has two 1/4” FNPT fluid connections. The INLET (Supply) connection is a 1/4” FNPT fitting
located on the lower right side of the enclosure and connects the CTS with the chemical supply reservoir (carboy, tank, etc.) Inlet tubing is customer supplied and should be semi-rigid and sized adequately t o accommodate the required flow rate to prevent cavitation. Minimum recommended inlet tubing diameter is 1/2” I.D.
The OUTLET (Dispense) connection is a 1/4” FNPT fitting located on the upper right side of the enclosure and connects the fluid output of the pump to the water source to be treated, typically a water main. The CTS is designed to pump against 125 psi backpressure, and therefore all plumbing on the discharge side of the pump should rated for 250 psi. It is recommended that 1/4” O.D. polyethylene tubing is used for the output tubing.
Installation Notes:
1) Be careful not to over-tighten fittings to the CTS box as the bulkheads are made of PVC and may crack.
2) For optimal performance, mount the CTS as close to the source as possible and above it.
3) The CHLORITROL backflow concerns typically associated with diaphragm and peristaltic pumps. Because the inlet and outlet fluid path of FMI’s CeramPump® valveless piston pump are never interconnected, a backflow check valve is usually not required. However, local code requires a check valve on the inlet side of the pump, refer to the “Tips & Troubleshooting” section of this instruction manual.

Fluidic System Overview
ADJUSTING FLOW RATE Mechanical Adjustment: By adjusting the angle of
the high pressure pump head (pump head on right side of drive) using the adjustment knob, piston displacement can be increased and decreased, which in turn will vary flow rate. Diagram 5 shows the minimum (0%), maximum (100%), and factory set (50%) pump head positions.
Electronic Adjustment: The C100A Variable Speed Controller varies pump speed and has both manual and electronic control modes.
For manual speed adjustment, set the C100A mode on MANUAL and use the rotary dial to increase or decrease pump speed.

Maintenance
Periodic:
Rinse the piston where it enters the seal using the small squirt bottle provided. Simply use water. This will help
to eliminate any build up of crystals that may damage seals. Perform this procedure once a day, week, or whenever you are in the pump house.
Check for leaks, drips, .. etc. Wipe clean as necessary.
Scheduled: 4 months or 1000 hrs.
Check for leaks at all fittings and pump head. Change seals and/or fittings if necessary. Grease piston drive pins using supplied syringe. Apply a small glob of grease to the piston drive pin where it
enters the drive bearing.
Wipe box and components down with a cloth, spraying a light mist of protectant oil, such as Silikroil, on all metal
components to help inhibit corrosion.
Extended Shut Down or Storage:
Always flush your CTS unit with fresh water for 10 minutes prior to any extended shut down to ensure easy startup later. Pump units that are not flushed prior to extended shut down will probably seize and need to be returned to FMI for rebuild.

WIRING PROCEDURE
1) Remove the four (4) cover screws to remove the cover and gain access to the terminal strip. Note: When removing the cover, take care not to damage the cover gasket or the wires connecting the cover controls with the main circuit board.
2) If an external 4-20 mA control source is used, (typically a sensor, analyzer, or PLC etc.), connect the 4-20 mA output of this device to the +1 and -2 terminals as shown below.
3) After all wiring is complete, replace the cover. Take care to align the gasket and torque down the four (4) cover screws such that the gasket is evenly compressed and seals properly.
Important Note: Trimpots are factory tuned for optimal performance. Adjustments in the field should only be made with the guidance of FMI support personnel or performed by an authorized FMI factory representative. Before performing an
trimpot adjustments, contact FMI factory.
WIRING NOTES:
1. Size all wires that carry drive motor or line current to handle currents as specified by national state, and/or local codes. All other wires may be #18 AWG or smaller as permitted by local code.
2. Separate control wires from all DC Drive and AC line wires when routed in conduits or in wire trays. There are two (2) threaded 1/2” NPT holes in one endplate, located near the terminal strip, for this purpose.
3. The C100A is provided with a fuse in AC line 1 (P1-11). This fuse is sized to open in the event of a shorted drive armature, or if the 0-90 VDC line to the drive motor is shorted to earth ground. As long as the 120 VAC input is connected properly, there is no additional fusing required.

Tips from the Field
The CTS has been dynamically tested, including the integrity of all intern al fluid connections, prior to shipment. The C100A control unit is factory adjusted for optimum performance with the CTS, and no additional adjustment of internal trim pots should be required.
However, if a newly installed CTS with C100A System fails to operate properly, the following is a step by step troubleshooting guide to determine the cause and corrective action.
When diagnosing problems with the CTS System, it should be first determined if the problem is related to the electronics circuit which includes C100 A, power supply, input control signal, and wiring. If the electronics appear to be operating properly, the fluidic circuit, which includes tubing, valving, fittings etc should be examined.
First determine if the problem is Electronic or Fluidic.
If the motor is not rotating, begin with step 1 of ELECTRONICS. If the motor is rotating but no fluid is being pumped, proceed to step 1 of FLUIDICS.
ELECTRONICS:
1) With the C100A in the OFF position, rotate the rotary speed pot CCW to the “0” speed position.
2) Check all wiring connections between the C100A and the CTS, and (if applic able) between the C100A and the 4-20 mA control source.
3) With the speed pot still in the “0” position, switch the power of the C100A to the “ON” position, which is the manual speed adjustment mode.
4) Increase the speed control CW gradually to a setting between 5 and 6 and observe the pump motor to see if it’s rotating. If “yes”, go to step 1 of FLUIDICS. If “NO”, turn speed pot to “0”, switch C100A to “OFF” position, and disconnect power.
5) Open the CTS enclosure and see of the motor spindle (silver cylinder on right side of motor) rotates freely by hand. If “yes”, continue to step 6. If “no”, call factory.
6) With enclosure open, turn C100A to “on” position, set speed control to “5”, and using a multi-tester, check the DC voltage at the terminal block of the CTS. The voltage should be between 30-40 volts. If “yes”, call factory. If “no”, check the power input to the CTS which should be 115V approximately. If “yes”, check fuse. If “no”, the power source is the problem.
FLUIDICS: Pump will not prime:
1) Verify proper mounting location relative to supply vessel according to Diagram 5.
2) If motor is rotating and no fluid is being pumped, check the inlet tubing to see if there is fluid in the tubing, and that the inlet bulkhead fitting (on the inside and outside inlet connections) is tight and not leaking air. If you observe th at fluid level in the inlet tube rises properly to the bulkhead fitting, turn off power to the motor and watch the fluid level at the inlet tube. It should drop back momentarily when the motor stops, but should stop falling when observed for approximately 15 seconds. If the fluid continues to fall, there is a suction air leak, which must be corrected.
3) Make sure all valves on the inlet side (fluid source) are open, and that there is an adequate level of fluid in the supply vessel. Ensure that inlet tubing has not deformed due to suction (collapsed) whereby creating pump cavitation.
4) Check the mechanical flow setting of the fluid pump head (right side of motor) to make sure that it is set for a minimum of 10% stroke.
5) Make sure the tubing is sized correctly for the desired fluid flow. For flows below 500 ml/min, 1/4” OD tubing is recommended. For flows above 500 mL/min 3/8” - 1/2” ID tubing is recommended. Tubing sized too small, relative to flow, may cause cavitation problems, while tubing sized too large may cause vertical lift issues. Consult factory for additio nal recommendations.
Pump Primes but there is no fluid output:
Check tubing, connections and valving to make sure there are no closed valves or obstruction between the CTS and the output destination (typically a groundwater well or water main).
