Description of product This is a solenoid-driven diaphragm metering pump with liquid-end parts which are resistant to chemicals and with a compact body. It can be operated on any supply voltage from AC 100V to AC 240V (±10%). Its discharge capacity has been adjusted so that it will remain constant over the supply voltage range.
Installing the product WARNING • This pump does not have explosion-proof specifications. Do not install it in explosion-proof regions or in explosive or combustible atmospheres. • Install the pump in a location that cannot be accessed by anyone but control personnel. CAUTION •...
Installing the product (1) Twist the pump head and solenoid-box part (upper part) counterclockwise by about 30 degrees, and lift slightly (by 2 to 3 cm). ✽ Check whether the O-ring is fitted into place Solenoid box part (upper part) here.
• The occurrence of pulsation will cause the pump’s hoses/tubes to vibrate. Secure the hoses/tubes so that they will not swing about. • In order to reduce pulsation, the installation of a damper is recommended. Ask a TACMINA representative for more information.

Calibration About calibration Calibration is a function that enables the discharge capacity to be set accurately by measuring the maximum discharge capacity under the conditions of actual use by the user and storing the measured value in the pump’s memory. It works only in the discharge capacity setting mode of the PW, DCLPW and CLPW.
