Expert flow and drawdown controlfor low-volume purging

The MicroPurge basicsTM MP10 Controller revolutionizes low-flowsampling with advanced logic control of purge flow and well draw-

down. Simple up-down arrow keys increase and decrease purge flow,driving a microprocessor to re-create expert techniques for low-flowadjustment. Then, optimized settings are identified for recall in thenext round of sampling.

The MP10 also offers an easy way to prevent excessive monitoringwell drawdown during purging, by linking to the optional MP30Drawdown/Water Level Meter.

The lightweight, compact MP10 sets the pace for a new generationof genuine MicroPurge basics equipment, first in control and power forlow-flow sampling.

MicroPurge® basicsTM MP10 Controller Advantages

• Exclusive MicroPurge control mode usessimple arrow keys to adjust low-flow rateseasily and repeatably, using a micro-processor to re-create the flow adjust-ment strategies used by experienced sam-plers.

• Connection port allows linking to optionalMP30 Drawdown/Water Level Meter,which signals MP10 Controller to enterstandby mode if drawdown limit isexceeded.

• Multi-mode digital control includesMicroPurge Mode, ID Mode for repeatevents, and manual control.

• Weatherproof controls are housed in arugged, compact (10-3/4" x 9-3/4" x 5")case.

• Full digital display of all setting and statusinformation.

Pressing theUP Arrowincreases thepump flow incontrolledsteps.

The DOWNArrow Keydecreases theflow rate incontrolledsteps.

The LEFT/ RIGHT ArrowKey adjusts the Cycles PerMinute (CPM) of your

pump.

The ID Number changeswhen an UP or DOWNArrow is pressed. This

number can be used in ID Modeto recall the setting for the nextsampling round.

The CYCLE Key starts andstops pump cycling.

The MODE Key changesmodes from default MP(MicroPurge) to ID Modeto MN (User Set) Mode.

This key also allows batterycheck.

Pressing the PAUSE Keyputs the controller inHOLD Mode, stoppingflow. A second press

delivers push button controlledvial filling. A third press returnsthe system to normal cycling.

Simple, stable, repeatableflow rate setting

The MP10 puts you in control ofthe most advanced low-flow sam-pling system ever made. You willpurge and sample quickly and eas-ily, with precise, steady low-flowpumping rates from one samplingevent to the next. QED’s new basicsequipment is also designed to takeadvantage of the opportunities fordownsized equipment, which islighter and more portable, reducesequipment cost and increases sam-pling crew productivity. Simplified,sealed electronics are put togetherin a design that delivers famousQED durability and value.

MicroPurge basics controllers canbe connected to the MP30 Draw-down Meter for optional AutomaticDrawdown Control, an industryfirst.

Multi-mode digital control The MP10 gives you three easy-to-

use operating modes, to cover everysampling protocol and situation. • MicroPurge (MP) Mode quickly opti-

mizes control settings to reach thedesired pump flow rate. You don’thave to worry about calculatingpump cycles or refill and dischargetimes.

• ID Mode instantly recalls optimizedsettings previously established foreach well, providing precise, consis-tent performance from event toevent.

• User Set (MN) Mode provides man-ual control of pump operation forextreme depths and other specialcases.

HOW IT WORKS

MicroPurge Mode Quick Guide

1. Opening cover turns power ON(Close to turn OFF). 2. Select desired Cycles Per Minute(CPM) with the key (defaultvalue is 4 CPM). 3. Turn throttle to set depth ongauge to 10 - 20 feet deeper thanthe pump location in the well. 4. Press CYCLE to START pumping. 5. When water discharge begins,adjust throttle until a slow, steadyflowstream is achieved. 6. Press keys to set the desiredpurge flow rate. 7. To collect samples, continue purgeflow, or use key to directly controlsample flow and pause.
