The AL1 error code on the ITC Dositec MP pump means the pump has detected no product (chemical) for five seconds. When this happens, the pump stops, displays AL1, and the alarm LED turns on. A level sensor is required for this function.

(See materials in Technical Features). In case there is any doubt about compatibility of materials with the products to be used please contact ITC S.L. Technical Service. The metering pump has been designed to feed liquids with capacities from 0 to 15 l/h and pressures from 0 to 10 bar.

DIMENSIONS 4.- OPERATION The metering pump is activated by a PTFE diaphragm mounted on a piston of an electromagnet. When the piston of the electromagnet is attracted, a pressure is produced in the pump body with an expulsion of liquid from the discharge valve. Once the electric impulse is finished a spring brings the piston back to the initial position, with a recall of liquid through the suction valve.
5.- INSTALLATION GENERAL Install the pump in a dry place and well away from sources of heat and, in any case, at environmental temperatures not exceeding 40°C. The minimum operating temperature depends on the liquid to be pumped,bearing in mind that it must always remain in a liquid state.

To prime the pump, first connect the priming hose to the priming valve and drive the other side of the hose to a safety place to PRIMING pour the air mixed with product. VALVE Open the priming valve and start the pump at maximum flow until having only liquid in the priming outlet.

7.- MAINTENANCE Before any maintenance operation check: The pump is stopped and disconnected from the electric supply. There is no pressure neither inside the head nor in the impulsion pipe. It is advisable to empty the head before opening it. The staff in charge of the maintenance will use the adequate protection means in order to manipulate the dosed liquid.

TROUBLE SHOOTING MECHANICAL FAULTS As the system is quite robust there are no apparent mechanical problems. Occasionally there might be a loss of liquid from the nipple because the tube nut has loosened, or more simply the discharge tubing-has broken. Very rarely there may be losses caused by the breakage of the membrane, or by the membrane seals in which case they have to be replaced by disassembling the four screws of the pump head, when re-mounting the pump head ensure that the...
