Safety instructions Read through this section before use. This section describes important information for you to prevent personal injury or property damage. ■ Symbols In this instruction manual, the degree of risk caused by incorrect use is noted with the following symbols. Please pay attention to the information associated with the symbols.
WARNING Turn off power before service Risk of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump and related devices before service is performed. Electrical shock Stop operation If you notice any abnormal or dangerous conditions, suspend op- eration immediately and inspect/solve problems.
CAUTION Qualified personnel only The pump should be handled or operated by qualified personnel with a full understanding of the pump. Any person not familiar with the product should not take part in the operation or maintenance of Requirement the pump. Keep electric parts and wiring dry Risk of fire or electric shock.

Do no use a damaged power cable Risk of fire or electric shock. The cable is not replaceable. The whole pump unit needs to be replaced when the cable is damaged. Electrical shock Install a GFCI (earth leakage breaker) An electrical failure of the pump may adversely affect other de- vices on the same line.
Precautions for use • Electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician. Otherwise, personal injury or property damage may result. Caution • Do not install the pump in a place where the pump can get wet. Avoid using wet gas, or internal con- densation will build up and consequently result in the short lives of the valve and diaphragm.

Overview Pump characteristics, features and part names are described in this section. Introduction Pump structure & Operating principle The APN-110 is a diaphragm type air pump with a AC motor. The rotary motion of the motor is converted through a connecting rod to the reciprocation of the diaphragm in the pump chamber, where gas is transferred from the inlet to outlet.
Part names Pump head Not capable of liquid transfer. Air transfer purpose only. Inlet Outlet Specification label Use the pump accord- ing to the specifica- tions on the label. Pump body (with a Base built-in drive unit) Always fix with screws. Part names...
Identification codes The model code represents the following information. APN - S 110 K V X - 1 - 02 c d e a. Pump head No code : Single head : Dual-head with series tubing : Dual-head with parallel tubing b.
Installation This section describes the installation of the pump, tubing and wiring. Read through this section before work. Observe the following points • Risk of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump and related devices before service is performed. •...
Pipework Connect tubes to the pump. Tube end (Side view) Before operation • Cut the tube ends flat. Tube connection a. The short tubing with the minimum bends is optimal to reduce resist- ance. b. Use vinyl tubes resistant to the pumping pressure. Tube I.D.
Wiring Wiring for power source and earthing. Observe the following points • Electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician. Conform to local electric codes. • Do not apply power other than that specified on the nameplate. Other- wise, failure or fire may result. •...
Operation The pump becomes ready after pipework and wiring is completed. Pump operation Before operation a. Check that the pump is firmly fixed on a mounting position. b. Check that a suction tube is connected to the inlet and a discharge tube is connected to the outlet.
After the pump has reached a specified stroke rate, initiate full scale operation. • Always adjust an air flow by a suction valve. • In case electric power has failed while the pump is running, switch off main power. Otherwise, the motor may not restart or may burn out depending on a line pressure at the time of power recovery.
Maintenance This section describes troubleshooting, inspection, wear part replacement, exploded views and specifications. Observe the following points • Follow instructions in this manual for replacement of wear parts. Do not disassemble the pump beyond the extent of the instructions. • Always wear protective clothing such as an eye protection, chemical resistant gloves, a mask and a face shield during disassembly, assembly or maintenance work.

Inspection Perform daily and periodic inspections to keep pump performance and safety. Daily inspection Check the following points every day. If you notice any abnormal or dangerous conditions, suspend operation immediately and remove problems according to "Troubleshooting". When wear parts come to the life limit, replace them by new ones. Contact your distributor for detail.
Wear part replacement To run the pump for a long period, wear parts need to be replaced periodically. It is recommended that the following parts are always stocked for immediate replacement. Contact your nearest distributor for detail. Wear part list If pump performance has remarkably reduced, replace diaphragms and valves with new ones.
Diaphragm replacement Unscrew all the pump head fixing Pump head Pump head screws. fixing screw Take out the pump head, valve and valve seat. Mating Valve point Remove the diaphragm fixing screw Valve seat and detach the retainer plate and dia- phragm.
