Thank you for having selected IWAKI's Pneumatic Drive Bellows Pump FS Series. This instruction manual, which is divided into 5 sections, namely “Safety Section,” “Outline Section,” “Installation Section,” “Operation Section” and “Maintenance Section,” deals with the correct handling and operation procedures for the pump. To make maximum use of the pump and to ensure safe and long operation of the pump, please read this manual thoroughly and carefully prior to operating the pump.
Important Instruction For the Safe and Correct Handling of the Pump • Read the "Safety Instructions" sections carefully to prevent accidents involving your customers or other personnel and to avoid damage or loss of other assets. Always follow the instructions and advice found in these sections.
Safety Section WARNING Look around • Make sure there is no one around the pump when connecting the power cable. The power supply switch is not provided on the pump. Connecting the power cable and supply air to the pump starts pump operation. Do not remodel pump •...

Safety Section CAUTION • Lifting pump If a lifting rope or chain breaks or is cut when lifting the pump, a fatal or serious injury to person may result from the accident. Select a lifting rope or chain which is strong enough for the load of the pump.
Page 6
Safety Section CAUTION Supply air pressure • Supply air pressure must be maintained within specified supply air pressure range. Otherwise, the bellows may be deformed. Pump type Liquid temperature range Supply air pressure range 5-50 deg.C 0.147-0.490 (MPa) FS-15·30·60 51-100 deg.C 0.147-0.294 (MPa) 101-180 deg.C 0.147-0.196 (MPa)

Safety Section CAUTION • Stopping pump operation · When stopping pump operation, release the pressure on the discharge side first. Otherwise, the bellows may be deformed due to the residual pressure on the pump discharge side. · If a valve is provided on the discharge side, do not close the valve upon stopping the pump.

INSTALLATION SECTION This “Installation Section“ must be thoroughly understood by the user before actually installing the pump. Do not start your installation work unless you confirm your understanding of the entire set of descriptions in this section. 1. Before Use ........15 2.
1. Before Use For reliable pump performance to suit your application purposes, full safety measures should be taken for the pump unit and the entire system. The following information, including the points to be observed in the handling of the pump, deals with the measures to ensure the safe operation of the system. Please read the description carefully.

Other precautions to be taken [1] Surface temperature of pump Warning Touching the pump or piping whose surface temperature is extremely high due to the circulation of a hot liquid is very dangerous. Always arrange adequate hand-protective measures when engaged in feeding a hot liquid into the pump.
Direct the discharge port upward and the suction port horizontally. Use anchor bolts to fasten the pump firmly in position. [4] Bolt tightening Tighten the bolts on the housing upon installation by applying the following fastening torque. Fastening torque for FS-15HT1: 9.8N FS-15HT2: 4.9N • •...
2.2 Liquid Tubing The standard tubes for both the discharge and suction ports are PFA tubes. Connect the tubes as described below [1] Pump port diameters and materials Attached to tube from pump head To piping line The standard material of the pump discharge port and suction port is PFA tubing.
Page 22
[3] When installing a valve on the suction pipe, select a valve with an orifice larger than the inner diameter of the said pipe. A smaller orifice may result in a larger suction piping resistance or an increased chance for the valve to be clogged with a crystallized substance.

2.2.3 Air elimination measures When strong acid liquid is fed into the reaction tank or such liquid is circulated through narrow tubing, bubbles are generated. If such bubbles are mingled in the liquid that is sent to the bellows, the system is put into a state of air locked operation.
¡ Plan B (using auto valve) [2] Plan B (Automatic air elimination with auto valve Air elimination line installed) Auto valve 1 Regardless of the occurrence of air locking, con- tinuous automatic air elimination is executed in the entire system. For example, the air elimina- tion process is activated every 2 minutes after the Filter Reaction...

[6] Quick exhaust valve As shown in Figure 1, the air exhausted out of the pump flows out of the system via the exhaust port of the electromagnetic valve. (Fig. 1) Depending upon the type of liquid applied, some permeated gas may mix with the exhaust air. (The inside of the electromagnetic valve may be corroded by such permeated gas, becoming useless to the system.) In such a case, install a quick exhaust valve between the pump and the electromagnetic valve.

2.3.2 Points to be observed in air piping [1] Diameter of pump connection port The diameter of the connection port on the air sup- ply side is as follows. Pump air supply * Connection port diameter port (pump) FS-15, 30 : Rc 1/4" Piping side tube FS-60 : Rc 3/8"...

2.3.3 Effective cross-sectional area [1] Effective cross-sectional area In the field of pneumatic devices, the term “Effective cross-sectional area” is used to indicate the capacity to allow air to flow freely. When air is sent through a pipe, the air cannot run totally through the actual cross-sectional area of the pipe due to the negative effect of the piping resistance.
2.4 Wiring with controller A 5-port electromagnetic valve and controller of AC-1, FD type, SC type or FDC-1 type are required for the operation of this pump. For wiring, refer to the instruction manual of each controller. 2.4.1 Wiring with AC-1 controller SV Electromagnetic valve Connected with FR Reducing...
Page 31
[3] Wiring for 5-port electromagnetic valve Connect the two wires to terminals no.q (+) and w (–) of the controller. Terminals no. q and w of the AC-1 type controller have polarity. The electromagnetic valve has no polarity. Some types with a built-in surge killer have polarity, which requires special attention in the connection process.

OPERATION SECTION Pump operation shall be limited to the range covered by and described in this instruction manual. Use of the pump in a different method or procedure that is not described in this instruction manual is prohibited. Iwaki takes no responsibility for injury to person or damage to assets which results from a failure to observe this instruction.
1. Preparation Carry out the following preparatory steps when starting the pump operation for the first time after installation or after a long-time suspension of the pump operation. [1] Confirm that the electric wiring has been conducted correctly. (Wiring for proximity switch and electromagnetic valve.) Caution Improper wiring may cause burned proximity switch.
2.2 Stopping pump [1] Turn off the power switch of the controller. The pump will stop operation and the 'Operation indicator' LED will go out. [2] Make sure the discharge-side valve is open upon stopping the pump. Caution Do not close the discharge-side valve upon stopping the pump. [3] Make sure the system does not allow residual pressure on the discharge side upon the stopping of the pump.
MAINTENANCE SECTION Handling, maintenance and inspection of the pump shall be limited to the range covered by and described in this instruction manual. Handling of the pump beyond the range covered by this instruction manual is prohibited. Iwaki takes no responsibility for injury to person or damage to assets caused from a failure to observe this instruction.
