Installation of a typical VSD:
- Mount VSD on the wall close to the vacuum pump.
- Drill and tap a 1/4" hole in the center of your balance tank and screwing in a sensor (drill and tap are provided).
- Run the sensor wire to VSD and connect to the labeled terminals.
- Instruct your licensed electrician to connect the incoming power to the appropriate labeled terminals.
- We recommend setting your existing vacuum controller 1"Hg above your required vacuum level (this will cause the existing vacuum controller to become inactive but still be of use should you disable the VSD for any reason).
How VSD's work:
Milking vacuum pumps are sized for peak demands like system leaks or fallen milking units, though normal operations require less than half that capacity, historically forcing operators to run pumps at constant high speeds before variable speed technology allowed pumps to adjust dynamically.
