Precautions for use • Electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician. Otherwise, personal injury or property damage may result. Caution • Shipping inspection with tap water is conducted on every pump. Be sure to dry off the pump head before operation, or residual water may cause unde- sirable reaction when having contact with some chemicals.
Introduction The TD series is the mechanically-driven diaphragm pump. Its pulse-reduction design en- sures low flow pulsation without the need of an air chamber. A wide selection range of wet ends allows for delivery of acid, alkaline, viscous liquid, slurry and solvent in various plants or built-in applications.
Pump mechanism ■ Flow pulsation reduction mechanism The reduction mechanism consists of the two factors. One is the use of a highly-precise constant-velocity cam, which makes a trapezoidal waveform of each discharge. The other is the phase shift of two different discharge, The rear head moves out of phase with the front by 180 degrees to make a constant synthesized waveform.

Installation This section describes the installation of the pump, piping and wiring. Read through this section before installation is performed. Points to be observed Observe the following points when installing the pump: • Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump and related devices before installation is per- formed.
Pipework Pipework must be done according to the following instructions to ensure the optimum per- formance, safety and service. Piping layout Arrange pump and pipework based on the following piping layout for a long period of operation. Back pressure valve (overfeeding prevention) Discharge line Relief valve...
Necessary devices The following devices are needed to the metering pump. Be sure to install, or personal injury or property dam- age may result. ■ Relief valve The metering pump by nature keeps working, exceeding the limit pressure of discharge line if it is blocked. This may damage the pump/piping system and burn out the motor.
Pump inlet/outlet connections Arrange the pump inlet and outlet according to a piping system in which the pump is incorporated. ■ Tube connection Cut the tube ends flat. Tube end (Side view) NOTE Otherwise a leak may result. Pass a tube into the fitting nut and stopper and then slide it down to the tube adapter as far as it will go.
Piping precautions • Foreign matters such as sand and scale may enter pipework while service is performed. They may cause fatal damage to the pump. Be sure to blow them out before operation. Also, do not apply adhesive too much or leave a screw or nut.
Slurry delivery The TD can deliver slurry with some limitations. Contact us for allowable particle size and concentration. • Branch a drain line from the discharge line. Drain • Do not allow any inverted arch line in pipework where slurry can stay. •...
Wiring Wiring for the inverter and the motor. Points to be observed Observe the following points during wiring work: • Do not use grid power directory to the pump. Always use an applicable inverter for pow- ering the pump, or fire may result. •...

Operation This section describes pump operation and programming. Run the pump after pipework and wiring are completed. Before operation Always check the following items before the first-time operation or resuming operation after a long period of stoppage. Points to be observed Observe the following points during operation: •...
Operation Read this section before operation. Starting procedure Start the pump by the following procedure. Open the suction and discharge valves. Turn on the inverter power. Push the RUN key to start the pump. See page 25 for detail. NOTE Set the frequency dial to about 10Hz at the start.
Inverter operation See below for the basic operation of the VF-nC3M transistor inverter with default setting. See manufacturer's manual for other programming including external frequency control. Frequency display RUN key STOP key Frequency dial ■ Start/Stop of operation Use the RUN key to start and the STOP key to stop the motor. ■...
Before stoppage • After everyday operation, release the liquid and pressure from the pump and pipework and turn off power. • Before a long period of stoppage, flush the inside of the pump and pipework with clean water or cleaning liq- uid.
Maintenance This section describes troubleshooting, maintenance, wear part replace- ment, exploded views and specifications. Points to be observed Observe the following points during maintenance work: • Follow instructions in this manual for replacement of wear parts. Do not disassemble the pump beyond the extent of the instructions.

States Possible causes Solutions gaseous liquid Take measures to reduce gas. a suction line (imperfect Check for an imperfect joint/sealing and Air ingress joint or sealing) retighten as necessary. from: Refill the supply tank. Degassing is required an empty tank before resuming operation.
Maintenance of IPM motor An IPM gear motor used in the TD series pump is the combination of a motor and a reduction gear unit, and the NLGI #0 extreme pressure lithium base grease is used in the gear unit. This long life grease can be used up to 10,000 hours of operating time or 3-5 years of useful life, but then needs replaced after either period has passed.
NOTE • Tighten the pump head bolts (parts# 20) when a leak is found from the pumphead-bracket seal. See the exploded view pages for the rated tightening torque at each pump model. If it can't stop a leak, replace the diaphragm.
■ Replacement procedure Prepare a container to receive used oil in advance. Remove the oil cap. Oil cap Remove the drain plug. Use a container to collect used oil. Drain plug Replace the drain plug after the drive unit is emptied. Remove old seal tape from the drain-plug threads and apply new one before refitting the plug.
Wear part replacement To run the pump for a long period, wear parts need to be replaced periodically. Contact your distributor with the following information for wear part replacement. 1. Part names and part number (see the "Exploded view" section.) 2.
Before assembly/disassembly • Inch the motor or rotate the motor fan by hand to extend the pump shaft to the maximum length when remov- ing the diaphragm. • Inch the motor or rotate the motor fan by hand to contract the pump shaft to the minimum length when replac- ing the pump head to the bracket.
