Function

With this dosing pump you can automatically and precisely add a certain amount of liquid (between 1 and 9999 ml) to your aquarium, terrarium or pond at a time interval between 1 and 72 hours.

Installation

• Place the dosing pump in a dry, accessible place near your aquarium, terrarium or pond. You can easily set the pump down or hang it up with the suspension eye on the back.
  Fig. B Attach a tube via the tube coupling to the inlet of the pump, this inlet tube goes into the reservoir with the liquid to be dosed. Make sure the end of this tube is at the bottom of the reservoir.

• Attach a tube via the non-return valve to the outlet of the pump, this tube goes to the aquarium, sump, terrarium or pond.
  Fig. C NOTICE! The maximum head of the dosing pump is 1.5 metres, bear this in mind when installing the dosing pump and the reservoir.
  

• Turn the dosing pump on by plugging it into the mains.

Calibration (before first use)

• The pump must be calibrated before use. This requires a reservoir of water and a measuring cup of at least 100ml.
• Put the inlet tube into the reservoir.
• Start the pump ( See programming: Manual dosing ) so that the tubes are completely filled with water. Make sure that there is no air left in the tubing before calibrating the dosing pump.
• Stop the pump.
• Put the other tube into the empty measuring cup.
• Now you can start the calibration ( See programming: Pump calibration ).

Control panel

The following settings can be programmed using the control panel on the dosing pump:

• The current time (F1).
• Manual dosing (F2).
• Calibration (F3).
• Reservoir content (F4), can be set to 9999 ml.
• Dosing quantity (F5), can be set between 1 and 9999 ml.
• Dosing interval (F6), can be set between 1 and 72 hours.
• With the arrows and you can choose the settings.
• The OK button allows you to programme the setting.
• Use the arrows and to change the times and values.
• The arrow saves the programmed setting.
