Outline The information such as characteristics, features and part names are described in this section. Introduction Pump structure & Operating principle The EWN series is a diaphragm metering pump which consists of a pump head, drive unit and control unit. A diaphragm is directly driven by electromag- netic force.
Features ● Multi voltage All the EWN-R series is multivoltage type (100-240VAC) and can be selected without concern for local power voltage. ● High resolution Digitally-controlled stroke rate range is 0.1-100%. The stroke length shifts for a fine flow adjustment.
Page 14
Multiplier programming (See page 51) 1-9999 shots can be programmed to one pulse signal. *In the EXT operation, the pump runs at the manual operation stroke rate. *The pump runs in 1:1 operation when the multiplier is programmed to 1. Example) When the multiplier is programmed to 5, the pump makes five shots per signal.
Page 15
ANA. R (analogue rigid) programming The pump increases/decreases a flow rate in proportion to 0-20mA. Four (4- 20, 20-4, 0-20, 20-0) programs are provided. In "4-20" or "20-4" program a disconnection sensor works to stop the pump as a current value falls below 4mA ("DISCN" blinks on the screen). Check wiring as necessary.

Wiring Wiring for the power source and external signal. Observe the following points during wiring work. • Electrical work shall be performed by a qualified operator. Always ob- serve applicable codes or regulations. • Observe the rated voltage range. Otherwise the electrical circuit on the control unit may break.
Page 30
NOTE • Do not share a power source with a high power equipment which may generate surge voltage. Otherwise electronic circuit may fail. The noise caused by the inverter also affects the electronic circuit. • Power voltage shall be charged at a sitting via a switch or a relay. Otherwise CPU may malfunction.
Precautions for ON-OFF control by the relay The control unit is equipped with CPU. Always start/stop the pump by the STOP signal. Do not start/stop the pump by turning ON/OFF power because it may adversely affect CPU. If there is no choice but to turn ON/OFF power, observe the following points.
Page 32
NOTE • Do not install the EXT/STOP signal wires in parallel with a power cable or combine them in a concentric cable (ex. 5 wires cable). Otherwise noise is generated through the EXT/STOP signal wires due to induction effect and it results in malfunction or failure.
■ Connections • Level sensor The EWN have two stage level sensor, the Pre-STOP and STOP alarms. Con- nect the pre-alarm signal to the Pre-STOP and the alarm signal to the STOP. The pre-alarm functions just to notify a low liquid level by flashing the LED orange while the pump is running.
Page 34
• Pulse signal In the EXT (MULT or DIV) mode, the pump runs along with multiplier or divider as receiving the pulse signal. • When using an open collector... Pay attention to polarity. Pulse is plus(+), and COM1 is minus(-). (Maximum 1.8mA at 5V) •...

■ Stroke length adjustment Stroke length can be adjusted when the moving distance of the plunger is changed by the stroke length adjusting knob. The stroke length adjustment range is 50-100% for the B type, 40-100% for C type. The relation between a flow rate* and stroke length is shown as below. Fixed stroke rate Stroke length adjustment *The flow rate described on the nameplate is at 100%.

Inspection Perform daily inspection and periodic inspection to keep pump performance and safety. Daily inspection Check the following points. Upon sensing abnormal condition, stop the opera- tion immediately and remove problems according to "Troubleshooting". When wear parts come to the life limit, replace them by new ones. Contact us or your nearest dealer for detail.
Wear parts replacement For a long operation 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 dealer for detail. Precautions • When dismantling the pump, pay attention to the residual liquid in the pump.
* Wear part duration varies with the pressure, temperature and characteristics of the liquid. * The estimated life is calculated based on the continuous operation with ambient clean water. Before replacement First release the pressure from the pump. Stop the pump operation. Rotate the adjusting screw two revolutions anticlockwise to open the air vent port.
