If you are experiencing a problem with your Pulsafeeder pump, first review the IOM, and consult
the troubleshooting guide. If the problem is not covered or cannot be solved, please contact your
local PULSA Series Sales Representative or our Technical Service Department at (585) 292-8000
for further assistance.
Trained individuals are available to diagnose your problem and arrange a solution. Solutions may
include purchasing a replacement unit or returning the pump or components to the factory for
inspection and repair. All returns require a Return Material Authorization (R.M.A.) number to be
issued by Pulsafeeder.
Certain components may be purchased for replacement. Parts purchased to correct a warranty
issue may be credited after examination of the original parts by Pulsafeeder personnel. Parts
returned for warranty consideration that test satisfactorily, will be sent back to the originator
freight collect.
Any field modifications will void the Pulsafeeder warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs will be
subject to Pulsafeeder's stand ard bench fees and tes ting cos ts assoc iat ed wi th repla ce ment

The HYPOPUMP2
®
Auto De-gas Pump, designed for purging entrained gas from the pump reagent
head, is referred to in this manual as the “ADV”.
2. General Safety
The Auto De-gas Valve (ADV) was designed as a gas handling/priming aid for operation solely with
Pulsafeeder PULSAR
considered un-safe and voids all certification markings and warranties.

and PULSAR Shadow® metering pumps. Use for any other application is
2.1 Explosive Atmosphere Safety
Explosion Hazard -- Do not perform installation or maintenance of any kind on this device while
circuit is live and/or the area is known to be hazardous. This unit is not intended for use in
explosive or hazardous locations.
2.2 Electrical Safety
Improper application and use of the ADV can be hazardous. You are solely responsible for its use.
The ADV electrical installation must conform to all relevant electrical codes. Installation and electrical
maintenance must be performed by a qualified electrician. Before installing or servicing this device, all
power must be disconnected from the source at the main distribution panel.
The ADV emits electro-magnetic energy. Its use is restricted to industrial applications. You are
responsible for shielding this device if necessary.
It is recommended that the ADV be powered from a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected
electrical ci rcuit.
2.3 Hydraulic Safety

3. Equipment Inspection
When you receive your order, check all equipment for:
• Completeness against the shipping document / purchase order
• Evidence of shipping damage.
Shortages or damage should be reported immediately to the carrier and your PULSAFEEDER
representative.
4. Storage
The ADV can be successfully stored for extended periods. The key to this success is temperature and
humidity control.
Be certain to follow the additional storage instructions provided in the IOM for the PULSAR
Shadow
attached to the pump.
4.1 Short Term (0 - 12 months)
®
pumps, and also those included in the IOM for any controllers (DLC, DLCM, ECA) that are
®
or PULSAR
The ADV should be stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. It is preferable to
keep the temperature constant in the range of -18 to 60° Celsius (0 to 140° Fahrenheit). The relative
humidity should be 0 to 90% non-condensing.
If the ADV is installed on the pump, it should not be removed during this period – provided the above
conditions can be applied to the pump as well. If the ADV was shipped in its own carton, it should be
stored in that carton.
4.2 Long Term (12 months or more)
Storage of the ADV for periods of longer than twelve months is not recommended. If extended storage
is unavoidable the ADV should be stored in accordance with those conditions stipulated for Short Term
Storage. In addition, a porous bag of 85g (3 oz) silica gel or similar desiccant should be placed inside
the ADV enclosure. The cover should be re-installed to seal the desiccant within the enclosure. The
conduit connection must be tightly capped.
5. Retrofit
Retrofit kits including the HypoPump2® reagent head assembly, the ADV, and other necessary parts
and hardware, are available. These allow the conversion of an existing Pulsafeeder PULSAR

6. Overall System Diagram
\
Figure 1
The ADV consists of a pressure balanced valve which opens periodically to allow fluid from the discharge
line to bypass the discharge check valve and flow back into the pump head. The valve is actuated by a solenoid
controlled by a solid-state tim er. The ADV Valve Assembly incorporates a dual sealing design to insure the valve
function even if the Primary Bellows seal fails. The Leak Detection Port (1/8” NPTF) allows visual indication of a
Bellows failure while allowing the ADV to keep functioning. At the discretion of the user, this port may be used to
pipe any leakage to a safe vessel or a leak detection device.

7. Installation
7.1 Location
Review the Safety section prior to installing the pump with ADV. It contains information required to
properly install and operate the ADV in an industrial environment.
Review the PULSAR
your metering pump. It details system related issues that are important to proper operation of the pump
and also the ADV. The ADV should be mounted in an area where the operator has access to the front of
the unit. Avoid locations where the ADV would be subjected to extreme cold or heat. Note the warning
statement on the next page. The installation of this device must comply with national, s ta te an d lo ca l
codes.
Allow 6 inches minimum clearance from the front of the ADV enclosu re to allow for removal and
re-installation of the ADV as a unit.
AVOID LOCATIONS WHERE THE ADV WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO EXTREME COLD OR HEAT OR

7.2 Installation Notes
1. Do not make any electrical connections without adequate grounding.
2. Conduit connections can carry fluids and vapors into the ADV causing damage and voiding the
warranty. Care should be taken when installing conduit to protect against fluid/vapor entry. If
necessary, provide sealed entries or conduit drains near the point of entry.
3. It is recommended that the ADV be powered from a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected
electrical ci rcuit.
7.3 Electrical Wiring
The ADV is available in two
voltages, and is rated as follows:
115 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.2 A
OR
230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.1 A
The ADV voltage is indicated on
the enclosure label.

Wiring Diagram
Install wiring to the unit using a minimum of 18 inches of flexible conduit or cable attached to the
auto valve assembly in order to facilitate removal of the valve assembly from the reagent head for
cleaning or maintenance.
Wiring must conform to all applicable codes. Prior to pump startup; always check to ensure that the ADV
voltage and frequency matches that of the power supply. It is recommended that the ADV be powered
from a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected electrical circuit.
1. Remove the enclosure front cover. Note: The plastic screw hole plugs can be pried out using a flat
bladed tool.
2. Bring AC power and ground wires into valve assembly enclosure through the 7/8” diameter hole in the
side of the enclosure. Use #20 AWG 105 degree C insulation wire size minimum. Connect per the
wiring diagram. The wiring diagram is also reproduced on a label affixed to the back of the enclosure
cover.
3. Apply power to the valve assembly with or without the pump running. Verify that the solenoid
mounted on the pump reagent head clicks every 30 seconds.
4. Reattach cover and replace plastic hole plugs over screws.
