Note that suction conditions can affect the performance of the pump. This effect is more pronounced with lower pressure pumps. Consult your distributor for additional information. Your LMI metering pump must be mounted so that the suction and discharge valves are vertical. NEVER position pump head and fittings horizontally. 3.2.1 Flooded Suction For flooded suction the pump is mounted at the base of the storage tank.
INSTALLATION 3.2.2 Suction Lift - Wall Bracket Mount The pump may be mounted using an LMI Wall Mount Bracket Assembly (part no. 34643) directly above the solution tank. A pump mounted in this manner allows for easy chang- ing of solution tanks or drums.

For 1/4” OD tubing: Position the Female Ferrule so that 1/4” to 3/8” (5-10 mm) of tubing protrudes from the Female Ferrule.
Your pump may be equipped with a 4-FV, or standard discharge valve. If your pump is not equipped with a four-function valve and you feel it is needed in your application, it can be purchased as an accessory. Contact your local LMI stocking distributor. The features of a 4-FV are listed below.
INSTALLATION Four-Function Valve Installation To install a 4-FV, the 4-FV Fitting and Coupling Nut should be assembled with the appropriate cartridges into the discharge port of the pump. Use a 13/16” or 20 mm socket to tighten fitting. Tight- ening to 50 inch-pounds is recommended. Do not over tighten. To assemble the Four-Function Valve Body, insert the large opening on the Four-Function Valve Body into the 4-FV Coupling Nut and hand tighten.
INSTALLATION AutoPrime™ Pumps installed with the AutoPrime™ Liquid End are equipped with a valve that allows for constant removal of vapors and gasses inherent with effervescent chemicals such as Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrogen Peroxide. The valve keeps the pump primed automatically. When installing a pump equipped with an AutoPrime™ Liquid End, connect the 1/2"...
INSTALLATION Foot Valve/Suction Tubing Installation The Foot Valve acts as a check valve to keep the pump primed in suction lift applications. The foot valve is designed to be submersed in the solution tank or drum and must sit in a vertical position at the bottom.
INSTALLATION Injection Check Valve and Discharge Tubing Installation The Injection Check Valve prevents backflow from a treated line. Install the injection check valve at the location where chemical is being injected into the system. Any size female NPT fitting or pipe tee with a reducing bushing to 1/2" female NPT will accept the injection check valve.
OPERATION 4.0 Operation Output Adjustment Controls Power Button: This button allows convenient starting and stopping of the pump. Mode Selection Button: For pumps with external control capability (AD8, AD9) this button switches pump operation between internal and external modes. When operating in internal mode the Pulse Indicator Light will flash green while pumping.

OPERATION 4.3.2 Calibrating the Displayed Flow (AD2, AD8) The Roytronic Excel Pumps are equipped to display a theoretical flow rate based upon the pump’s stroke speed and stroke length. These calculations are based upon factory test conditions which may be significantly different from your application. It is necessary for the user to perform the following calibration procedure when the pump is connected to your system, and using the actual chemical.
OPERATION Methods of Externally Triggering or Pacing AD8 and AD9 Pumps Method of Triggering AD8 and AD9 Pumps through External Control Connector Switch or transistors must be capable of switching 24V DC at Blue 15 milliamperes. Minimum time in low impedance state (ON) is 1.
