TABLE OF CONTENTS Thank you for choosing a Walchem EZ Series metering pump. This instruction manual deals with the correct installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for the EZ metering pumps. Please read through it carefully to ensure the optimum performance, safety and service of your pump.
Principle of Operation The EZ series electronic metering pumps consist of a pump unit, a drive unit, and a control unit. The drive unit is an electromagnetic solenoid. When the solenoid coil is energized by the control unit the armature shaft moves forward due to the magnetic force of the solenoid. The shaft is attached to a PTFE faced diaphragm which is part of the pump unit.
Options Multifunction Valve is supplied in place of the manual air vent valve. Available for the EZ series pumps with VC, VE, VF, PC and PE liquid ends. Not available with the AAVV feature. Auto Air Vent Valve supplied in place of manual air vent valve.

INSTALLATION Unpacking Open the shipping carton and inspect contents for damage. If any items are missing or damaged contact your local distributor. Pumps are pre-primed with water at the factory. If the application is not compatible with water, drain and dry before use. Be sure to remove caps from fittings before attaching tubing.
Coupling Nut Injection (Air Vent Valve) Valve Point of Injection Coupling Nut Return Line PVC Pipe Tubing Straightener Air Gap (user supplied) Coupling Nut Foot Valve Figure 4 Tubing Connections Supply Tubing The supply tubing run should be as short as possible. For flooded suction mounting, install a shut-off valve with an appropriate tubing connector at the tank outlet.
Discharge Tubing Cut a length of tubing long enough to go from the pump to the application (injection) point. Additional tubing can be ordered from your distributor. Avoid sharp turns or bends and hot surfaces. Routing tubing through rigid pipe such as PVC pipe is recommended for long runs and/or as protective shielding against corrosive chemicals.
NOT act as an anti-siphon valve. If siphoning is a possibility, or if pumping downhill into open atmosphere (open tank), a Walchem MultiFunction valve or a separate back pressure/anti-siphon valve must be installed.
OPERATION Priming Install the pump as described above. With the pump turned on, set frequency at 100%. If the pump is equipped with an air vent valve, open the knob 1/2 turn. Liquid should move through the suction tubing and into the pump head. When liquid starts running through the vent side tubing, close the air vent knob and continue with output adjustment described below.

Programming and Timer Use CAUTION! Before use, check the time and date. Set to the local time and date before programming. Incorrect time/date can result in incorrect operation. 1. Manual Operation From the WAIT menu, pressing the MODE key will enter the manual mode. Pressing SEL will toggle the pump on and off manually.
Pressing MODE again will display the current time and date. The pump is now operating in the TIMER mode and will come on at the next programmed timer operation. Calibration If exact output calibration is required, first prime and adjust the pump as above.
Auto Air Vent Valve Operation The Auto Air Vent Valve is an option on select EZ pumps and replaces the standard Manual Air Vent Valve when ordered. It is used primarily in applications where gassing is a problem and pumps can lose prime. Unlike the Manual Air Vent Valve, the Auto Air Vent Valve constantly bleeds a controlled amount of volume out of the “Air”...
MultiFunction Valve Operation The MultiFunction Valve is optional on select EZ pumps and replaces the standard Manual Air Vent Valve when ordered. It integrates the air venting/bleeding functions with a back pressure and anti-siphon valve. Air Vent / Bleed Function 1.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Before working on the pump, disconnect the power cord, depressurize the discharge tubing and drain or flush any residual liquid from the pump head and valves. Always wear protective gear when working around chemicals. Diaphragm Replacement Disconnect AC power to the pump and disconnect the suction tubing, discharge tubing, and air vent tubing.
