4.1 Agency Listings

This pump is ETL listed to conforms to the following: UL Standard 778 as a motor operated water pump. CSA Standard C22.2 as process control equipment
**** This pump complies to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, BS, EN 60204-1, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU BS EN 61010-1, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, BS EN 50081-1/BS EN 50082-1.
This pump is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61- Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects

ENCLOSURE RATING
NEMA 4X Constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, windblown dust, splashing water, and hose-directed water; and that will be undamaged by external formation of ice on enclosure.
IP66 No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact. Water projected in powerful jets against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.

INSTALLATION

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.
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.
Check system pressure and piping pressure limits before installation.
The pump should be supplied by an isolating transformer or RCD (operating current less or equal 30 mA).

5.1 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.
   NOTE: Suction and Discharge manifolds can be removed and rotated so the suction and/or discharge connections are on opposite sides. Pump performance will not be affected by suction or discharge location.
   For best De-gassing and Priming efficiency, locate suction connection on same side as degassing cart.

2.  Finding a secure surface and using the provided mounting hardware, 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 pump head.
   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 maintenance.
   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, in the event that the discharge line becomes blocked.
   NOTE: The pump does not require back pressure. Back-pressure valve may be desired to maintain consistent flow into inconsistent system pressure.

5.2 Pump Dimensions

5.3 Wall Mounting

1. Using the provided #10 self-tapping screws, mount the bracket to a secure wall that is located where it can be easily serviced
   

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 wall mount bracket. To remove pump, pull tab and lift pump.
   

5.4 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.
Electrical connections and grounding (earthing) must conform to local wiring codes.
Risk of electric shock – Disconnect electricity before removing wiring compartment cover.
Ensure to connect the pump to the proper supply voltage. Using the incorrect voltage will damage the pump and may result in injury. The voltage requirements is printed on the pump serial label.

• Use the voltage for which the power cord is rated.
• Do not strap together control (input/output) cables and power cables.
•  When there is a power interruption, the pump, which has an auto-restart feature, will restore the pump to the operating state it was in when the power was lost.
•  POWER: 115V60Hz (0.6A max.), 220V50Hz (0.3A max.), 230V60Hz (0.3A max.), 230V50Hz (0.3A max.), 240V50Hz (0.3A max.)
  NOTE: Contact a licensed electrician when there is doubt regarding the electrical installation.

8.2 Manual Speed/Flow Adjust
Pump speed can be adjusted manually using “Manual Adjust” Run Mode.

8.3 4-20 Input Speed/Flow Control
Pump speed can be adjusted remotely using “4-20ma Input” Run Mode.

OUTPUTS

MOTOR ON – Active when motor is running in Manual or 4-20ma Mode.
RELAY OUTPUT – Active when either DFD or FVS has triggered. Stop pump to reset.
4-2mA OUTPUT – Non-scalable full scale output proportional to pump speed.

DFD (DIAPHRAGM FAILURE DETECTION)

The MD1 is equipped with a Diaphragm Failure Detection System which is designed to stop pump and provide an output alarm in event diaphragm should rupture and chemical enters pump head.
This 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 lubricants.
If system has detected chemical, pump diaphragm must be replaced and pump head must be thoroughly cleaned.
Failure to clean pump head will void warranty.
If DFD alarm occurs, pump will stop, close an alarm output, and screen will flash DFD with an alarm icon.

PUMP MAINTENANCE

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.
11.1 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.

11.2 Cleaning Pump
Pump will require occasional cleaning, especially Injection fitting, Footvalve / Strainer, and pump head valves.
Frequency will depend on type and severity of service.

• Inspect and replace pump head valves as required.
• 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.
• Periodically inspect pump housing (enclosure) for chemical attack. Protect pump housing from continuous exposure to chemicals, such as drips or fumes from surrounding equipment and plumbing.

11.3 Replacing the Pump Diaphragm

• When changing the diaphragm, the pump head chamber and pump head cover should be wiped free of any dirt and debris. The pump stroke must be FORWARD when installing the diaphragm (hand tighten), and BACK when installing and tightening the pump head. Tighten screws on pump head evenly and incrementally. Final tightening to be done with a torque wrench rating at 20 in-lbs.
• When replacing the pump diaphragm, note the order of parts per the illustration below:
