Features:

This evaluation kit enables the testing of Quantex BIB-19 pumps & accessories including those

that require mains water for mixing. It incorporates a pump drive, pump chassis, a high

performance stepper motor, integrated motor controller, solenoid, stand and power supply. The

motor controller also features an aux output to switch 3rd party equipment, e.g. external

solenoid or status indicator.

Image Features

BiB-19

Inlet: compatible with 1” BIB gland

Outlet: compatible with range of accessories

Flowrate: 0-30ml/s

Resolution: 0.8ml

Transit Cap Compatible with BiB-19HP

Ready-to-drink security cap with airless valve

Transit seal 1 bar.

Valve to prevent dripping and oxidation.

Note:

The transit cap has been assembled onto the pump outlet in its closed transit position and can

seal against a shock load of 1 bar. When twisted anti-clockwise it is moved to its ‘open’ position

where is now seals against 0.1bar.

Pumps are compatible with Smurfit Kappa 1 inch bag gland/neck.

Quick start for BiB-19 dilution pump:

Assemble unit as shown:

1. Plug in the unit and turn

on the power. The green

light on the other side of

the evaluation kit will

illuminate green.

2. Connect to the regulated

mains water supply to

the push fit connector at

the back of the kit.

Ensure that tube is fully

engaged with the 8mm

push fit connector.

1. Adjust the water flowrate

by adjusting the

pressure on the water

regulator. The ideal

water flowrate for mixing

is between 15ml/s and

25ml/s.

.

4. Fill bag with concentrate and plug

with pump (attach dip tube if required).

Place assembly onto the metal tray.

5. Orient the pump towards the motor

drive and water connection.

6. Push the back of the pump

and back of the mixer to

ensure that the parts are fully

engaged.

7. The programme that actuates the solenoid is pre-loaded onto the kit along with a motor

speed of 3 rps.

8. To adjust the mix ratio, hold the water flow constant and adjust the concentrate flow by

increasing or decreasing the motor speed. See pages 12 - 16 for instructions to adjust

the motor program.

Note: Pumps are supplied in the BDC condition (i.e. the deepest part of the rotor cavity is

facing the diaphragm in the pump). To achieve maximum accuracy a full cavity should be

evacuated i.e. increments of 180° for 2-cavity rotors. Pumps should be stored in the BDC

condition.

Set-up for standard BiB-19 pump (no dilution):

Assemble unit as shown:

1. Fill bag with liquid to be dispensed

and plug with pump (attach dip tube

if required). Place assembly onto the

metal tray.

2. Ensure that the bag flange is flush

with the base of the metal tray. This

will allow alignment of the pump with

the motor drive shaft.

Change the motor programme using the instructions on page 12. Download one of the required

programs – please ensure that you don’t use the solenoid program when connected to the

mains water supply – the standard pump does not accommodate dilution.

3. Orient the pump towards

the motor drive.

4. Push the back of the pump

to ensure that the pump is

fully engaged with the pump

drive.

BiB-19 with transit cap:

1. Assemble the evaluation kit as per the previous instructions.

2. Twist the transit cap anticlockwise to its open position

3. To adjust the motor program, follow the instructions on pages 12 – 16.

An image of the BiB-19HP pump with Transit Cap accessory is shown below:

BiB-19 with Particulate Valve:

Assemble unit as before. Download software programme with reverse cycle to suck the

last drips or dribbles back behind the valve and to move valve back to its inverted

position.

Cap accessory.

No mains water or solenoid

actuation required.

To adjust the motor program:

Connect the evaluation kit to the tablet provided using the USB cable supplied.

The motor controller software is pre-installed on the tablet computer.

1. Open the TMCL icon from the taskbar

2. Use the USB cable to connect the evaluation kit to the tablet. Switch on the power to the

evaluation kit.

3. Click setup on the toolbar: Setup>Options>Connection

This shows that the device port is recognised.

If not selected, select the port assigned with [TMCM-1060] after the COM Port number.

4. To open a program, click on documents folder: This PC>Documents>

There are a number of programs available:

The programs labelled ‘Speed, Revs’ allow the speed and number of revolutions to

be adjusted.

‘Speed, Time’ allows the motor to be programmed to turn for a length of time at a

particular speed.

The programs labelled with reverse, allow a reverse cycle at the end of dispense to

suck last drips or dribbles back into the pump outlet.

The programs labelled ‘solenoid’ tell the controller to open the solenoid.

The looped programs allow the programs to be looped with an adjustable pause time

between doses.

The water flow calibration program allows the water flow to be calibrated without the

motor turning. This program tells the solenoid to open for 4 seconds without turning

the motor.

5. Open required program (e.g. Speed, Revs.tmc.) Adjust user variables: RPS, Revs,

Direction (DIR) & acceleration

6. Download new program to device by clicking on this button on the toolbar:

7. Activate the program by clicking on this button on the toolbar: (unit will self-activate

program if power is reset)

For more information read PD60-1060_TMCL_firmware_manual.pdf. This manual is located in

the documents folder on the tablet supplied with the evaluation kit.

To download a programme that actuates the solenoid:

1. Open programme named Speed, revs – solenoid. Adjust rps, revs, acceleration and

direction as required.

2. This program incorporates a flush cycle that keeps the solenoid open for 0.25 seconds

after the motor has stopped. This can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the

opening time. See arrow below:

Once parameters are satisfactory, download the program as per the previous instructions.
