Mounting Wall or panel mounted. Panel mounted arrangement can be configured with a panel mounted controller (for
automatic control version). An optional vacuum switch can also be remote mounted.
Control Modes Manual control, start-stop or program, flow proportional, direct residual and compound-loop control

can be a few feet to several hundred feet apart, depending on maximum feed rate, the diameter of the
connecting pipe or tubing and system performance requirement.
Injectors For capacities up to 200 PPD (90 kg/day), a 3/4" injector is used. For capacities up to 500 PPD
(225 kg/day), a 1" injector is used. Injectors. For capacities up to 750 PPD (340 kg/day), a 2" injector is used.
Injector Operating Water This must be reasonable clean. Injectors are fixed-throat differential type. Maximum inlet pressure is 300 psi
to 100°F; 150 psi to a maximum of 130°F
Pressure at Application Point Maximum pressure with hose or polyethylene tubing is 75 psi, but highpressure hose or rigid pipe will allow
application against backpressure of 75 to 160 psi.
Electrical Requirements Controller requires 120 volts +/- 10% (200 mA) or 230 volts +/- 10% (100 mA), 50/60 Hz, single phase.
