Overview

The Healy VP1000-5 is a vacuum pump designed for use in Phase II (Stage II) vapor recovery systems, specifically for gasoline dispensing equipment. It operates on a 110 VAC source and is controlled by the MC100-1 control module. The primary function of the VP1000-5 is to collect gasoline vapors at the vehicle fillpipe during fueling, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations such as those set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

Function Description:

The VP1000-5 vacuum pump is installed within a dispenser, typically in the lower hazardous area of pressure or suction dispensers. It is activated for each fueling transaction by the MC100-1 control module. When a dispenser is authorized for fueling, the MC100-1 simultaneously activates the VP1000-5. The pump operates at a low speed, providing approximately 10 GPM (gallons per minute) of vapor recovery. If both sides of a dispenser are authorized for fueling, the VP1000-5 increases its speed to a high setting, providing approximately 20 GPM of vapor recovery. This dual-speed operation allows the system to adapt to varying fueling demands and maintain efficient vapor collection.

A key feature of the VP1000-5 is its thermistor circuit. This circuit enables the pump to activate when ambient temperatures fall below approximately 40°F (4°C). This cold-weather activation is crucial for preventing internal parts from locking up, ensuring reliable operation even in colder climates.

The MC100-1 control module serves as the interface between the VP1000-5 and the dispenser. It is wired to the dispenser's power supply and typically to the solenoid valve signal and neutral wires in the upper electronics area. This connection allows the Healy equipment to detect when a dispenser is authorized to dispense product. The MC100-1 also incorporates a solenoid disconnect relay. In the event of a VP1000-5 fault, this relay interrupts the solenoid valve neutral circuit, effectively shutting down the system to prevent further issues. The MC100-1 provides visual feedback through indicator lights: a yellow light for power, and red lights (solid or flashing) to indicate fault conditions.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Power Source: 110 VAC
  • Control Module: MC100-1
  • Vapor Recovery Speed (Low): Approximately 10 GPM (when one side of dispenser is authorized)
  • Vapor Recovery Speed (High): Approximately 20 GPM (when both sides of dispenser are authorized)
  • Cold Weather Activation: Thermistor circuit activates pump below approximately 40°F (4°C)
  • Vacuum Level (Acceptable): Between 60 and 90 inches WC (water column) when measured with a vacuum gauge. Readings of +/- 3 inches WC are considered normal.
  • CARB Certification: Certified for Phase II (Stage II) vapor recovery systems under Executive Orders VR-201 (without ISD) and VR-202 (with ISD) for California, and Executive Order G-70-191-AA for North America outside California.

Usage Features:

  • Automatic Operation: The pump activates automatically upon dispenser authorization, simplifying the fueling process for users.
  • Variable Speed: Adjusts vapor recovery speed based on fueling demand (one or both sides of the dispenser active), optimizing efficiency.
  • Cold Weather Reliability: The thermistor circuit ensures the pump remains operational in low temperatures, preventing system downtime.
  • Fault Indication: The MC100-1 control module provides clear visual fault indicators (solid or flashing red lights) for quick diagnosis of issues. A flashing red light indicates an over-current fault, while a solid red light indicates an under-current fault.
  • System Integration: Seamlessly integrates with existing dispenser electronics and hanging hardware (e.g., Model 900 nozzles for CARB Phase II, Model 800 nozzles for other North American regions).

Maintenance Features:

  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides detailed flowcharts for diagnosing under-current and over-current fault conditions, as well as for performance testing when no fault is immediately apparent.
  • Rotor and Vane Service: Instructions are provided for inspecting, cleaning, and replacing the rotor and vanes, which are critical components for pump operation. This includes guidance on identifying wear, cracks, chips, or excessive dirt.
  • Vacuum Integrity Testing: Procedures are outlined for performing dispenser vacuum integrity tests using a 0-100" WC vacuum gauge to check for leaks in the vapor piping, loose fittings, missing pipe tape, or damaged O-rings/quad-rings in the hanging hardware.
  • Voltage Checks: Appendix E details voltage checks on the MC100-1 control module to diagnose electrical issues, emphasizing safety precautions due to the presence of 110 VAC.
  • Learn/Teach Function: A specific procedure is provided in Appendix F to correct instances where the VP1000-5 might be running at an incorrect speed due to a leaking incoming signal voltage.
  • Warranty Service Documentation: The VP1000 Returned Goods Product Tag (FFS-0120) is essential for documenting all warranty service, including fault conditions, vacuum readings, and repairs made. This ensures proper tracking and processing of warranty claims.
  • Certified Technicians: Installation and service of system components, including testing and replacement, must be performed by technicians certified by the manufacturer and skilled in applicable State, Federal, and local requirements for gasoline dispensing equipment.
