INSTALLATION

• CAUTION The pump should be serviced by qualified persons only. If equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• CAUTION Always wear protective clothing, face shields, safety glasses, and gloves when working on or near your metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken depending on the solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.
• CAUTION All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult an expert before installing a metering pump on specialized systems. The metering pump should be serviced by qualified persons only.
• CAUTION Check system pressure and piping/tubing pressure limits before installing.
• CAUTION The pump should be supplied by an isolating transformer or RCD (operating current less or equal 30 mA).

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. Find a secure and level surface and mount the pump close to the injection point. Keep the inlet (suction) and outlet (discharge) tubing as short as possible. Longer discharge tubing increases back pressure at the pump head.

• NOTE : Mounting the pump lower than the chemical container will gravity-feed chemicals into it. This “flooded suction” installation will reduce output variation to increased suction lift.
• NOTE : Install a backflow prevention check valve at the discharge side of the pump to prevent the system fluid from flowing back through the pump during tube replacement or during tube rupture.
• NOTE : A pressure relief valve is recommended 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 pump does not require back pressure. Keep the discharge pressure as low as possible to maximize the tube life.

Pump Dimensions

Wall Mounting

1. Using #10 self-tapping screws, or appropriate hardware for the wall material, mount the bracket to a secure wall that is located no higher than 4 feet above ground for easy programing and service. Note : If mounting the bracket to a shelf, table, or floor, we recommend using additional support
2. Lower the pump so that the tab on the wall mount is inserted into the slot located on the back of the pump. The pump will now be secured to the mount bracket.

POWER CONNECTIONS

• Risk of electric shock – cord-connected models are supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

• OUTPUT – Non-scalable full-scale output proportional to pump speed.

ENHANCED TUBE FAILURE DETECTION

(TFD+)

The pump is equipped with an Enhanced Tube Failure Detection (TFD+) system, which is designed to stop the pump and provide an output alarm in the event the pump tube should rupture, and a chemical enters the pump head.
This TFD+ system can detect the presence of many chemicals, including sodium hypochlorite (chlorine), hydrochloric (muriatic) acid, sodium hydroxide, oils- based polymers, water-based polymers, and many others. The system will not be triggered by water (rain, condensation, etc.) or silicone oil (roller lubricant).

• NOTE : If the system has detected a chemical, the pump tube must be replaced, and the pump head and roller assembly must be thoroughly cleaned. Failure to clean the roller assembly will void the warranty.
• NOTE : If the TFD+ alarm is triggered, the pump will stop, and close an alarm output.

Confirming Chemical Detection

To determine if a chemical will be detected by the system:

1. Remove the pump head cover, and the pump tube and roller assembly.

2. Place a small amount of chemical in the bottom of the pump head that is enough to cover the sensors.

3. Reinstall only the pump head cover.

4. Turn on the pump by pressing the START button.
   NOTE : If the TFD+ system detects a chemical, the pump will stop after a two-second confirmation period. NOTE: If the TFD+ system does not detect a chemical, the pump will continue to operate after the confirmation period.

5. Carefully clean the chemical out of the pump head. Ensure to remove all the chemical traces from the sensor probes.

6. Replace the roller assembly and tubing.

7. Reinstall the pump head cover.

8. Press the START button to clear the alarm condition.

9. Restart the pump.

PUMP MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
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 the solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.

Routine Inspection and Maintenance
The pump requires minimal maintenance. However, the pump and all the accessories should be checked weekly, especially when pumping chemicals. Inspect all the components for signs of leaking, swelling, cracking, discoloration, or corrosion. Immediately replace worn out or damaged components.
Cracking, crazing, or discoloration during the first week of operation are signs of a severe chemical attack. If this occurs, perform the following steps:

1. Immediately remove the chemical from the pump.
2. Determine which parts are being attacked.
3. Replace the damaged parts with parts that have been manufactured using more suitable materials.
4. After servicing, operate the pump to verify normal operation.

NOTE : The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for damage to a pump that has been caused by a chemical attack.

Cleaning and Lubricating the Pump

• The pump will require occasional cleaning, depending on type of service, operating conditions, and run time.
• When changing the pump tube assembly, the pump head chamber, the roller assembly, and the pump head cover should be wiped of any dirt and debris.
• Clean the motor shaft with a clean towel, and then apply a small amount of grease to the shaft. This will help prevent the rotor from sticking to the motor shaft.
• Periodically, or when necessary, grease the pump head cover bearing. Apply a small amount of grease (Aeroshell aviation grease #5 or equivalent).
• 100% silicone lubrication may be used on the roller assembly.
• Periodically clean the injection fitting /check valve assembly, especially since injecting fluids, like sodium hypochlorite, can calcify. These lime deposits and other buildups can clog the fitting, increase back pressure, and interfere with the check valve operation.
• Periodically clean the suction strainer.

TUBE REPLACEMENT

• Prior to service, pump clean water through the pump and suction/discharge line to remove any chemicals.
• 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 the solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.
• Use the provided Tube Installation Tool to leverage tubing into the pump head. Do not use your fingers.
• Use extreme caution when replacing the pump tube. Do not place your fingers near the rollers.

The pump tube assembly will eventually become non-operational if it is not regularly inspected and replaced. The tube life is affected by many factors, such as the type of chemical being pumped, the amount of back pressure, the motor revolutions per minute (RPM), and temperature.

Provided Tool Tube Removal
