Overview Pump characteristics, features and part names are described in this sec- tion. Introduction Pump structure & Operating principle The EHN series is a diaphragm metering pump which consists of a pump head, drive unit and control unit. A diaphragm is directly driven by electromagnetic force. Principle of operation Electromagnetic force and spring force make reciprocating motion.
The pump starts to run at a full speed (360spm) once a flow checker detects gas lock in the pump head. * The pump stops when having failed to resolve gas lock. * The XFCM type flow checker can not be connected to the EHN-YN. Connect it to an external controller to make feed- back control.
EXT mode ■ Proportional control (Analogue control : See page 42) The pump increases/decreases a stroke rate in the range of 0-360spm in proportion to 0-20mA. Setting two points can draw a straight line. Depending on the position of the two points, 0spm may not come at 0mA or a stroke rate may go over 360spm (The maximum stroke rate is 360spm and the pump does not exceed that rate.).
■ Divisor programming (Digital control : See page 46) The pump operation by the external signal. Program a divisor before operation. 1-999 pulse signals can be al- located to make one shot. * The pump can not run over a MAN speed even if a divisor is set to run the pump beyond that speed. *The pump makes one shot per pulse when a divisor is programmed to 1.
■ Priming function (See page 49) The pump runs at the maximum stroke rate while both the UP and DOWN keys are pressed. Use this function for priming or degassing. Press Press ▲+▼ keys Pump operation 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 ■...

■ EHN-B/-C 11/21 FC and EHN-B/-C 31/36 VC/VH/PC/PH/PP/FC The air vent port is not provided to the EHN-B/-C 11/12 FC type and all the EHN-B/-C 31/36 types. Install an air vent valve on a discharge line for degassing. See page 26 for detail. Follow the procedure below to conduct degassing if the air vent valve is not available.
Flow rate adjustment A flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting a stroke rate and stroke length. The stroke rate is indicated in spm (stroke per minutes). Stroke rate adjustment is a main way to adjust a flow rate. Stroke length is the moving distance of the plunger. A flow rate per shot can be controlled by changing stoke length.
■ Stroke rate adjustment A stroke rate can be set by keypad operation from 1 to 360spm. The relation between a flow rate* and a stroke rate is shown as below. Fixed stroke length * The flow rate described on the nameplate is at 100%.
■ Stroke length adjustment A stroke length can be adjusted when the moving distance of the plunger is changed by the stroke length ad- justing knob. The stroke length adjustment range is 50-100% for the B type, 40-100% for C type. The relation between a flow rate* and a stroke length is shown as below.
