Installation

| Risk of chemical overdose. Be certain pump does not overdose chemical during backwash and periods of no flow in circulation system.
---|---
| Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on or near your metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken depending on solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.
| All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult an expert before installing metering pump on specialized systems. Metering pump should be serviced by qualified persons only.
| Be sure that installation does not constitute a cross connection with drinking water supply. Check your local plumbing codes.

4.1 Mounting Location

1. Choose an area located near the chemical supply tank, chemical injection point, and electrical supply. Also, choose an area where the pump can be easily serviced.
2. Finding a secure surface and using the provided 316SS mounting bracket, mount the pump close to the injection point. Keep the inlet (suction) and outlet (discharge) tubing as short as possible.
   NOTE: Mounting the pump lower than the chemical container will gravity- feed chemical into it. This “flooded suction” installation will reduce output error due to increased suction lift. A shut-off valve, pinch-clamp, or other means to halt gravity-feed to the pump must be installed during servicing.
   NOTE: Install a back flow prevention check valve at the discharge side of the pump to prevent the system fluid from flowing back through pump during tube replacement or during tube rupture.
   NOTE: It is recommended to have a pressure relief valve at the discharge side of the of pump to prevent premature wear and damage to the pump tube, in the event that the discharge line becomes blocked.
   NOTE: The® FlexFlo peristaltic metering pump does not require back pressure. Keep the discharge pressure as low as possible to maximize the tube life.

Flow Verification Sensor is designed to give you two installation options.
Sensor can be installed:

• Directly on pumphead of A2A pump, suction side.
• Anywhere on suction side of A2A pump.

Wiring for sensor can be connected directly to an A2 pump via Terminal T4. Pump will stop pumping if sensor detects no flow. A output relay (Terminal T7) will then close allowing for remote alarm indication or initiation of a back- up injector pump. Install FVS Flow Sensor – Flow Verification Sensor should be installed on inlet (suction) side of pump tube. Sensor includes a PVC tubing insert, located inside sensors female thread connection, that is designed to seal sensor onto pump tube inlet adapter. Thread sensor onto pump tube until tubing insert is snug against pump tube inlet fitting – do not over-tighten.

Sensor Model Number| Published Flow Range| Actual Working Range with FLEXFLO Pump
---|---|---
ML/Min| ML/Min
FV-100| 30-300| 30-200
FV-200| 100-1000| 50-900
FV-300| 200-2000| 100-1800
FV-400| 300-3000| 300-3000
FV-500| 500-5000| 500-5000
FV-600| 700-7000| 700-7000

Confirm FVS flow range – Flow Verification Sensor (FVS) will only function within its operating range. See chart for available ranges.
Example: Sensor model FV-100 has an operation range of 30-300 ml/min when used as a flowmeter. However, due to pressure drop across sensor, pump’s suction capability is limited to 14.7 psi. When used as a Flow Verification Sensor with a peristaltic pump, effective operating range is reduced to 30-200 ml/min.
NOTE: If pump output is less than 30 ml/min, sensor will not detect chemical and a signal will not be sent to pump, resulting in an alarm condition.
NOTE: For low viscosity (water-like) fluids only. Consult factory if attempting to use with viscous fluids.

TFD (Tube Failure Detection)

FLEXFLO is equipped with a Tube Failure Detection System which is designed to stop pump and provide an output alarm in event pump tube should rupture and chemical enters pump head. Pump will detect a chemical with a conductivity reading greater than 500 microsiemens. Chemicals with a conductivity of less than 500 microsiemens will not be detected.
This patented system is capable of detecting presence of a large number of chemicals including Sodium Hypochlorite (Chlorine), Hydrochloric (muriatic) Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, and many others. System will not be triggered by water (rain, condensation, etc.) or silicone oil (roller and tubing lubricant ).If system has detected chemical, pump tube must be replaced and pump head and roller assembly must be thoroughly cleaned. Failure to clean roller assembly will void warranty.
If TFD alarm occurs, pump will stop, close an alarm output, and screen will flash TFD with an alarm icon.
Confirm Chemical Detection
To determine if your chemical will be detected by system, remove pump head cover and pump tube and roller assembly.
Place a small amount of chemical in bottom of pump head – just enough to cover sensors. Replace pump head cover only.
Turn on pump (press start). If TFD system detects chemical, pump will stop after a two second confirmation period and TFD Alarm screen will display. If TFD system does not detect chemical, pump will continue to run after confirmation period.
Carefully clean chemical out of pump head being sure to remove all traces of chemical from sensor probes.
Replace roller assembly and tubing. Replace pump head cover. Press START button to clear alarm condition and restart pump.

Alarm Relay

Pump has a built in 6 amp alarm output relay (Terminal T7). Relay is pre- configured to energize on tube failure detection (TFD) and on Flow Verification Sensor (FVS).
A Flow Verification Sensor must be installed and configured for relay to trigger on no-flow conditions.

Reverse Rotor Rotation

| Prior to service, pump clean water through pump and suction / discharge line to remove chemical.
---|---
| Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on or near your metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken depending on solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.

Reverse rotation of pump; press and hold REVERSE ROTATION button until rotor begins rotating in opposite direction. This process can be used for many reasons throughout various industries.
Two reasons for reversing current rotor rotation; to purge chemical from tubing and to extend tube life.
Plan ahead before reversing rotor rotation. If check valves are installed, make necessary arrangements to allow back flow.

| Failure to install check valves in their proper flow direction can cause excess pressure (PSIg) build up in system and can result in tube rupture.
Always use extreme caution and ensure proper connections when using this feature.
---|---

If your desire is to simply extend tube life:
Typically tubing fails on outlet side (pressure side) of tube assembly in pump head.
Reversing rotation, moves outlet side (pressure side) to opposite side of tube assembly, greatly increasing tube life.
Stop pump before tube failure occurs.
Disconnect power from pump. Carefully purge any pressure in discharge line of pump. Disconnect suction end tubing and discharge end tubing from pump head tubing.
IMPORTANT! Swap sides of suction (inlet) and discharge (outlet) tubing. No need to remove Pump Head Cover.
Double check all connections before starting pump.

Tube Replacement

| Prior to service, pump clean water through pump and suction / discharge line to remove chemical.
---|---
| Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on or near your metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken depending on solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.
| Use provided Tube Installation Tool to leverage tubing into pump head, NOT YOUR FINGERS.
| Use extreme caution when replacing pump tube. Be careful of your fingers and DO NOTplace fingers near rollers.

13.1 Tube Removal

Step 1
Wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves during tube replacement.
Relieve (remove) system pressure on discharge and suction side of pump. Failure to do so will cause solution to squirt when disconnecting tube connections. SAFETY FIRST, REMOVE PRESSURE…
Disconnect system plumbing from pump tube adapters.
Step 2
Press and release STOP button.

IMPORTANT! Rotor direction; word “FRONT” on Rotor must face forward (front of pump).
Step 1
Press and release stop button to ensure pump is stopped.
With pump stopped, press suction side of tube adapter securely into pump head.
Clip Tube Installation Tool to discharge side of tube adapter.
Always keep fingers away from rollers and rotor. Step 2
Your hand should only come in contact with installation tool.
Press and release START button.
Use installation tool to leverage tubing into pump head while rotor is rotating. Step 3
Continue to hold onto installation tool.
Allow rotor to rotate a few times, this will stretch tubing out.
After a few rotations, pull installation tool and tubing in direction of rotation.
Press discharge side of tube adapter securely into pump head. Step 4
Press and release STOP button on pump.
Suction and discharge tube adapter ends should be securely held in place on pump head as illustrated in photo.

Pump Maintenance

| Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on or near your metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken depending on solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.
---|---

Routine Inspection and Maintenance
Pump requires very little maintenance. However, pump and all accessories should be checked weekly. This is especially important when pumping chemicals. Inspect all components for signs of leaking, swelling, cracking, discoloration or corrosion. Replace worn or damaged components immediately.
Cracking, crazing, discoloration during first week of operation are signs of severe chemical attack. If this occurs, immediately remove chemical from pump. Determine which parts are being attacked and replace them with parts that have been manufactured using more suitable materials. Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for damage to pump that has been caused by chemical attack.
How to Clean and Lubricate Pump
Pump will require occasional cleaning. Amount will depend on severity of service.
When changing pump tube assembly, pump head chamber, roller assembly and pump head cover should be wiped free of any dirt and debris.
When changing pump tube assembly, wipe motor shaft with clean towel. Apply a small amount of grease to shaft. This will help prevent possibility of rotor sticking to motor shaft.
Pump head cover bearing may require grease periodically. Apply a small amount of grease (Aeroshell aviation grease #5 or equivalent) when necessary.
Although not necessary, 100% silicone lubrication may be used on roller assembly.
Periodically clean injection/check valve assembly, especially when injecting fluids that calcify such as sodium hypochlorite. These lime deposits and other build ups can clog fitting, increase back pressure and interfere with check valve operation.
Periodically clean suction strainer.
