INSTALLATION

• When facing the pump, the roller assembly spins in a clockwise direction. The inlet (suction) side is located on the left side of the pumphead, and the outlet (discharge) is located on the right.
• Mount the pump in a level, dry location close to the injection point. To minimize backpressure on the system, keep the discharge tubing as short as possible.
• The recommended location is above the height of the solution tank. Mounting the pump lower than the solution tank will gravity feed the solution and create a “flooded suction” installation. In this scenario, a shut-off valve or other device must be installed to stop the solution flow to the pump during pump servicing.
• In installations involving pressure, a check valve should be used at the point of injection to prevent potential backflow.
• DO NOT mount pump directly over an open solution tank as chemical fumes may damage the pump.
• Voltage and frequency of power supply must be the same as shown on unit specification label.
• AC power must be connected to a Grounded Power Outlet (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter GFCI). DO NOT operate pump on an un-grounded circuit.
• Ambient air temperature should not exceed 104° F (40° C) and adequate air flow should be provided.

OPERATION

• WARNING: Tube failure may result in fluid being sprayed from pump. Use appropriate measures to protect operator and equipment. Tubing should be inspected periodically for tears, cracks, cuts, or abrasions.
• WARNING! Use only factory approved tubing from the designated tubing class. Incorrect tubing can adversely affect performance or damage the pump.

Controls
All pumps are equipped with a rocker switch mounted on the front of the pump. Always confirm the switch is in the designated Off position before plugging the pump into any power receptacle.

• 2-Way Rocker – For units equipped with a two-way rocker, the up position is ON, and the down position is OFF.
• 3-Way Rocker – For units equipped with a 3-way rocker, up is ON, center is OFF, and the down position is either EXTERNAL or RUN mode, depending on the pump model.
• Potentiometer – Variable speed models are equipped with either a single-turn or 10-turn potentiometer to regulate pump speed. Timer models (Pulse and Cycle) are equipped with a 10-turn potentiometer for control of ON time setting.
• Momentary Button – Pulse timer models are equipped with a momentary button to test the ON time setting for calibration purposes.

Adjusting Flow Output

• Fixed Speed Models – There is no flow output adjustment.
• Variable Speed Models – Flow output is controlled by motor speed utilizing the potentiometer. Rates are adjustable from approximately 5% to 100%. If equipped with a 4-20mA control option, pump speed will vary as the dedicated input signal changes amplitude. Please refer to Remote Operation below for more details on 4-20mA operation.
• Cycle Timer Models – Cycle time is defined as the sum of the ON TIME plus OFF TIME. ON TIME is set by the potentiometer and can be incremented up to the model’s maximum total cycle time. When the 3-way rocker switch is in the down (RUN) position, the pump will dispense for the selected ON TIME, remain off for the balance of the total cycle time, and then repeat the on cycle indefinitely until the pump is powered off or switched out of the RUN mode.
• Pulse Timer Models – ON TIME is set by the potentiometer up to the model’s maximum dispense time. When the 3-way rocker switch is in the down (RUN) position, the pump will dispense for the selected ON TIME whenever a dry contact pulse signal is received, or the momentary button is pressed.

Remote Operation

• Remote Start/Stop – For pump models equipped with remote start/stop, this feature operates by receiving a dry contact signal and is intended to be connected to a dry contact switch. The input has no polarity. No voltage is permitted on the input signal. The pump will activate and run while the switch is closed and deactivate and stop when the switch opens.
  To activate this feature, install the pair of wires from the dry contact switch closure device into the terminal block (Figure 1). Set the 3-way rocker in the down position to place the pump in EXTERNAL mode. The pump will now operate only when receiving a closed contact signal. To return to local control, move the rocker switch to the up, Internal mode, position.

• 4-20mA Control – For models equipped with a 4-20mA feature, the pump’s output will vary according to the level of an incoming 4-20mA analog signal. The pump’s maximum output to the signal is scalable between 20% and 100%, as determined by the percentage setting on the potentiometer.

  • For standard signal models, the minimum output is approximately 5.0% at 4.8mA and increases in 1.0% increments for every .16mA until 100% of the scaled output (based upon the potentiometer setting) is reached at 20.0mA (Figure 2).
  • For inverted signal models, the maximum output (as established by the potentiometer setting) is reached at 4.8mA and decreases, as above, until reaching zero output at 20.0mA (Figure 3).
    NOTE: Loop voltage for all models may not exceed 36VDC.
    To establish and operate the analog control feature:
  1. Install the two-wire lead (right side of terminal is positive; left is negative) from the 4-20mA source into the terminal block (Figure 4).
  2. Set the potentiometer to the desired scaling percentage. To operate without scaling, set the potentiometer to 100%.
  3. Set the 3-way rocker in the down position to enter EXTERNAL mode. The pump will now operate only when receiving the analog signal.
  4. While in EXTERNAL mode, the pump can be turned off by setting the potentiometer to 0%.
     To return the pump manual control, place the rocker switch to the up, ON position.

MAINTENANCE

Routine Inspection
The pump should be inspected on a weekly basis. Inspect for any signs of leaking and early indications of potential tube failure (e.g., swelling, cracking or discoloration). Replace any worn or damaged components immediately. Always check the chemical compatibility and pressure rating of the tubing prior to use.

Replacing the Tubing
Pump tubing must be replaced on a regular basis. While replacement within 500 hours of run time is recommended, tube longevity is ultimately determined by many factors, including tube formulation, the chemical composition of the fluid being pumped, system back pressure, pump speed, temperature, and more.
Use only factory designated tubing. Incorrect tubing can adversely affect performance or damage the pump.

• WARNING! Tubing connections may be under pressure. Always depressurize the system prior to connecting or disconnecting the pump.
• WARNING! Tubing may contain chemicals. Wear protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses when working with or near the pump.
• WARNING! Severe pinching of fingers can occur while installing and removing the tubing. Caution must be used to keep fingers away from rotating parts.

Tubing Removal
When facing the pump, the roller assembly spins in a clockwise direction. The inlet (suction) side is located on the left side of the pumphead, and the outlet (discharge) is located on the right.

1. Disconnect any suction and discharge tubes from the pump tube.
2. Remove the pumphead cover.
3. With the pump running, pull the inlet (left) side of the tubing out of the pumphead channel. Carefully guide the tube clockwise away from the rollers and pull the tube out of the pumphead.

Tubing Installation
Start with a section of tubing at least 9” in length. Once installed, this length will result in approximately 1 1/2” extending below both sides of the pumphead for fittings and attachments.

1. With the pump running, insert tube into the channel of the inlet (suction) of pumphead (Figure 5).
2. Carefully guide the tube into pumphead and through the channel of the outlet (discharge) side of the pump head and then stop the pump (Figure 6).
3. Reinstall the pumphead cover (Figure 7).
4. Attach retention clip on the inlet (left) side of the tube just below the base of the pumphead, to prevent tube migration during operation (Figure 8).

Pumphead Maintenance

1. Remove tubing per the Tubing Removal procedure.
2. Disconnect power to the pump.
3. Remove the pumphead cover.
4. Slide roller assembly off motor shaft. For two roller configurations, first open the spring clip to release it from the motor shaft (Figure 9).
5. Remove roller assembly by sliding it off the motor shaft.

Once disassembled, remove any particles or debris from the pumphead housing and roller assembly. Inspect the pumphead for cracks or other damage. Ensure rollers turn freely. Be sure all cleaning solvents are removed prior to reassembly and tube replacement.

Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect power to pump.
2. Slide out the fuse tray from the IEC socket (Figure 10).
3. Replace with one of identical size & Amperage rating.
4. Slide fuse tray back in to lock.
