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.
- 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/tubing pressure limits before installing.
- If using pump with chemicals that off-gas (i.e. sodium hypochlorite), do not leave chemicals in pump or between valves for excessive periods of non-use. Flush pump as necessary.
- The pump should be supplied by an isolating transformer or RCD (operating current less or equal 30 mA).
Mounting Location
- The pump must be sheltered from environment (rain, snow, direct sunlight, etc.) Do not place pump on floor or in location with excessive chemical spills or vapors.
- 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.
- 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 pump head.
NOTE:
- Mounting the pump lower than the chemical container will gravity-feed chemical into it. This “flooded suction” installation may minimize output variation by eliminating suction lift, and minimizing air and gasses entering the pump due to off-gassing and suction line leaks. A shut-off valve, pinch-clamp, or other means to halt gravity-feed to the pump must be installed during servicing.
- 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 leak.
- 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.
- The pump does not require back pressure. Keep the discharge pressure as low as possible to maximize
Pump Dimensions
Wall Mounting
-
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 bracket to shelf, table, or floor, we recommend using mounting holes on bracket feet and using hardware appropriate for base surface. See Accessories for Wall Shelf options. -
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. To remove, pull tab forward and lift pump.

ENHANCED TUBE FAILURE DETECTION (TFD+)
The pump is equipped with a 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 lubri-
cant).
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. See M12 Connector details to wire this alarm.
Confirming Chemical Detection
To determine if a chemical will be detected by the system:
-
Remove the pump head cover, and the pump tube and roller assembly.
-
Place a small amount of chemical in the bottom of the pump head that is enough to cover the sensors.
-
Reinstall only the pump head cover.
-
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. -
Carefully clean the chemical out of the pump head. Ensure to remove all the chemical traces from the sensor probes.
-
Replace the roller assembly and tubing.
-
Reinstall the pump head cover.
-
Press the START button to clear the alarm condition.
-
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:
- Immediately remove the chemical from the pump.
- Determine which parts are being attacked.
- Replace the damaged parts with parts that have been manufactured using more suitable materials.
- 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
CAUTION
- Prior to service, pump clean water through the pump and suction / discharge line to remove any 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 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.
Tube Removal
CAUTION
Safety first. Remove the pressure. Relieve (remove) the system pressure on the discharge and suction side of the pump. Failure to do so will cause the solution to squirt when disconnecting the tube connections.
- Disconnect the system plumbing from the pump tube adapters.

Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous substances.
The WEEE marking applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC.
