Overview Pump characteristics, features and part names are described in this section. Introduction Pump structure & Operating principle The EJ series is a diaphragm metering pump which consists of a pump head and a drive unit with a built-in controller. A diaphragm is directly driven by elec- tromagnetic force.
Features ● Multivoltage operation The EJ series is a multivoltage type (100-240VAC) and can be selected with- out local power limitations. ● High turndown ratio Digitally-controlled spm range is 1-360spm. ● IP rating of 65 equivalent This pump is not waterproof. Protect the pump with a cover when installing it out of doors.
Part names Pump Air vent port Always connect a tube. Be sure to return the tube end to a supply tank or a container. Adjusting screw A circumferential direction of the Used for opening the air vent port. port can be changed up to 90 degrees counterclockwise from the original position.
Operational panel Display Stroke rate and operational status are shown here. ON LED Lights as turning on power START and flashes at each stroke. STOP UP key Used for increasing numeric val- ues. If this key is kept pressed, the value rises faster.
■ Basic displays & Pump states Shows a pump speed in spm. The spm flashes during operation in MAN mode. The indication changes to "- - -" when the pump enters maintenance mode. Represents keypads are locked. ON LED flushes Display info ON LED lights (in sync with each shot)
Identification codes The model codes of the pump/drive units represent the following information. EJ - B 11 VC 1 J S _ - _ _ e f g h a. Series name EJ: Multivoltage electromagnetic metering pump b. Drive unit (Average power consumption) B: 15W c.
Installation This section describes the installation of the pump, tubing and wiring. Read through this section before work. Observe the following points when installing the pump. • Risk of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump and related devices before service is performed.
Plumbing Connect tubes to the pump and install a check valve. Before operation Tube end (side view) • Cut the tube ends flat. Necessary tools • Adjustable wrench or a spanner Tube connection a. Pass a tube into the fitting nut and Tube Fitting nut stopper and then slide it down to the...

Connect tubes into the inlet and outlet. Outlet Tube Inlet Tube Connect an air bleed tube into the Air vent port air vent port. Route back the other tube end to a Air bleed tube supply tank or a container. Determine an air vent port direction.
Check valve mounting Install an optional check valve to the EJ for the prevention of a back flow, siphon and overfeeding. In the following cases be sure the check valve is installed. • A suction side liquid level is higher than a discharge side or an injection point at atmospheric pressure.
Page 22
Mount a check valve at the discharge tube end. * The CAN check valve has the R1/2 and R3/8 thread connections as well as an O.D.9mm tube connection. Cut off an unused part and adjust the connection length as necessary. CAN check valve R1/2 O.D.9mm...
Wiring Wiring for a power voltage, earthing and an external signal. Observe the following points during wiring work. • Electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician. Always observe local electric codes. • Observe the rated voltage range, or the electrical circuit in the control unit may fail.
Page 24
NOTE • Do not share a power source with a high power device which may generate surge voltage. Otherwise an electronic circuit may fail. The noise caused by an inverter also affects the circuit. • Energize the pump with a power voltage via a mechanical relay or switch. Do not fluctuate the voltage, or CPU may malfunction.
Page 25
Precautions for ON-OFF control by a mechanical relay This pump is equipped with CPU. Observe the following points when ON- OFF control is performed: • Do not turn ON/OFF power voltage more than six times per hour. • When using a mechanical relay for ON-OFF operation, its contact capac- ity should be 5A or more.
Operation This section describes pump operation and programming. Run the pump after plumbing and wiring are completed. Before operation Check a flow rate, tubing and wiring. And then perform degassing and flow rate adjustment before starting operation. Points to be checked Before operation, check if...
■ Use of hexagon wrench instead of a torque wrench Fasten the fixing bolts as tight as can be by the hand with the straight long part of a hexagon wrench (a) and further turn the bolts clockwise 90 degrees with the short part (b).
Page 28
Points to be checked Air bleed tube • An air bleed tube is connected to the pump. Turn on power. The LED lights and a display related to the current mode appears on the screen. * The pump waits in the MAN mode when the power is turned ON with a default setting or calls START STOP...
Page 29
Push the start/stop key and run the pump for more than ten minutes. START START STOP STOP Push the start/stop key and stop the pump. Rotate the adjusting screw clockwise to close the air vent port. Check liquid is discharged. *Degassing is required again if the pump does not discharge liquid.
Flow rate adjustment A flow rate can be adjusted only by changing a stroke rate (stroke length adjustment is not available). A stroke rate can be set by keypad operation from 1 to 360spm. The relation between a flow rate* and a stroke rate is shown as below.
Page 31
Use the UP key to adjust a stroke rate. • spm increases as pushing the UP keys. • Press and hold the key for three seconds for quick increment. Quick increment stops at 360spm. 360spm skips to 1spm when the key is released and pushed once.
Before a long period of stoppage (one month or more) Clean wet ends and the inside of tubing. • Run the pump with clean water for about 30 minutes to rinse chemicals off from the pump head and piping. Before unplugging the pump •...
Operation programming Operation at each mode is individually set and controlled by keypad operation. Select a proper mode to make optimal operation. Programming flow Maintenance mode 3 sec. Power ON Power ON while the UP key is pressed. The maintenance mode will come up after 3 seconds.
Manual operation Turn on power. The LED lights and a display related to the current mode appears on the screen. * The pump waits in the manual mode when the power is turned ON with a default set- START ting or calls up the last selected mode or STOP condition.
Keypad lock Keypad lock can be active in the MAN mode for the prevention of erroneous key operation. The "LOCK" indication appears while keypads are locked. NOTE Any key operation is not acceptable when the keypads are locked. In an emergency, unplug the pump to stop operation.
Maintenance This section describes troubleshooting, inspection, wear part replacement, exploded views and specifications. Important • 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 re- sistant gloves, a mask and a face shield during disassembly, assembly or maintenance work.
Troubleshooting First check the following points. If the following measures do not help removing problems, contact us or your nearest distributor. States Possible causes Solutions The pump Power voltage is too low. • Observe the allowable voltage does not run range of 90-264VAC ( blank LED The pump is not powered.
Inspection Perform daily and periodic inspection to keep pump performance and safety. Daily inspection Check the following points. Upon sensing abnormality, stop operation immedi- ately and remove problems according to "Troubleshooting". When wear parts come to the life limit, replace them with new ones. Contact us or your nearest 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 us or your nearest distributor for detail. Precautions •...
Before replacement First release pressure from the pump head. Stop the pump operation. Rotate the adjusting screw two revolutions anticlockwise to open the air vent port. NOTE Do not rotate it three revolutions or more. Otherwise, the adjusting screw may come off with solution spray.
