ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OR OPERATE THIS SYSTEM.

DESCRIPTION

The Myron L Controlstik Rinse Tank System is a fully automatic
control which will greatly reduce the amount of water used in

continuous ow rinse tanks. At the same time, it automatically
maintains water quality, insuring effective rinsing in water up to
82°C (180°F). It operates on the electrical conductivity principle
and is fully stable and protected against all environmental
conditions including temperature, line voltage, water
contamination and corrosion.

Controlstik Rinse Tank System has three major parts:

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PROCEDURES

A. Mounting

Follow local electrical code

CAUTION: Do not apply power until all wiring has been

completed and connections checked.

1. TRANSFORMER BOX

Reduces line power to safe
level for sensor and solenoid valve.

3. CONTROLSTIK SENSOR

Adjustable set-point minimizes
tampering. Two ranges built-in for
tap and puried water.

2. SOLENOID VALVE

1”, corrosion-resistant
with ow control and
manual override.
24V For safety.

After installation, the Controlstik (sensor) is submerged in the
rinse water. When contamination (dragin) accumulates beyond
the point “safe” for good rinsing, the sensor automatically opens
the Solenoid Valve. Fresh water ows into the tank, and as
excessive contamination is diluted back to the “safe” level, the
sensor closes the valve, limiting water use.

1. Mount the Transformer Box near the correct AC power as
indicated on your unit. It may be hung on a wall, panel, or
post.

2. Hang Controlstik (sensor) in the tank by the cord, using the
securing clamp to hold the cord onto the edge of the tank.
The sensor should hang vertically, fully submerged at least
10 cm (4 in.) off the tank bottom and not closer than 60 cm
(2 ft.) to the inlet water line. If tank is small, locate sensor at
end opposite from inlet.

NOTE: If water rate is slow or if dragin rate and concentration

prevent good diffusion of contamination … the following

should be considered to insure the Controlstik senses

water that is “representative” of the entire tank:

1. Agitation - by air or other means

2. Installation of weir in tank perpendicular to water ow

3. Use of spider (sparge) on inlet

B. Piping

1. Install valve in inlet water line to rinse tank so that ow

direction is as indicated by the arrows on the top of
valve body.

2. Use Teon tape on all connections and plug the unused inlet.

3. Insure ow control is at least partially open by turning

counterclockwise.
