Installation 1. Before Use “Strictly observe the following points.” Operators and maintenance service staff must read the instruction manual thoroughly before using the products. Do not operate the pump system unless all of the contents in the manual are completely understood. CAUTION ●...
Page 20
Installation ● The pump can be operated outdoors, as the pump employs a simple water and dust proof structure. However, when installing the pump, avoid places exposed to direct sunlight or direct rain with an ambient temperature of above 40ºC, or with a rela- tive humidity of above 90%.
Page 21
Installation ● Limited operating site and storage Do not install or store the pump in the following places: * Places where a flammable gas or material is used or stored. Prohibited * Place where the ambient temperature is extremely high (40ºC or higher) or extremely low (0ºC or lower).
Installation 3. Installation, Piping, & Wiring CAUTION ● When you detect or become aware of a dangerous sign or abnormal condition during operation, stop the operation and restart the procedure from the beginning. ■ Installation [1] Installation Install the pump at a site where the ambient tem- perature does not exceed 40ºC and the relative humidity does not exceed 85%.

Installation ■ Piping <For material codes VC, VH, PC, PH, TC> Tube [1] Piping for pump connection port Use the tube with the correct diameter and make Fitting nut sure the connecting section does not cause liquid leakage or air suction. Connecting port CAUTION Since the fitting nut is made of plastic resin,...

● Procedure to connect the external signal cord Use DIN connector of five poles and four poles. Following connectors made by Binder in Germany are recommended. Ask IWAKI for the detail of Binder connector. 5 poles: 713 Series 99-0436-10-05 4 poles: 715 Series 99-0430-15-04 Following procedures are based on the connector made by Binder in Germany.

Installation ● Connection of level sensor The controller corresponds to two stage level sensor. Connect pre-alarm signal to Pre-STOP and alarm signal to STOP. When the pre-alarm signal comes in, orange lamp is lighted but the pump does not stop. When one contact type is used, connect the wires to STOP and COM2.
Page 27
Installation ● Output signal OUT1 : STOP output Output signal is activated when the pump stops by the external signal such as level sensor or so. OUT2 : Output synchronous with stroke Signal is activated synchronous with each pump stroke (shot). Connection inside connector: 1 : OUT COM 2 : Free...
Operation 1. Bleeding After the installation, piping, and wiring processes are completed, operate the pump in accordance with the following steps. CAUTION ● Do not operate the pump with a completely closed discharge-side valve. Operating the pump with the discharge-side valve fully closed may lead to liquid leakage or pipe rupture.
Page 30
Operation SH type [4] Rotate the air vent adjusting screw clock- Air vent wise to close the air vent valve adjusting screw Male connector [5] Inspect various points for liquid leakage to complete the air elimination process. <Bleeding for EW-F31, G31, 36, 46 models> [1] Extend the tube connected with the dis- charge-side fitting nut of the pump to the liquid tank or something like a drain plate.
Operation 2. Flow rate Adjustment The discharge amount can be adjusted by two methods, namely, stroke speed adjustment and stroke length adjustment, the former being used in most cases. In the event the expected discharge is not exactly obtained by the stroke speed adjustment, the stroke length adjustment is employed as a supplementary. [1] Procedure for flow rate adjustment 180 spm Fixed stroke rate...
Page 32
Operation [3] Adjustment of stroke length Stroke length can be adjusted by changing the degree of plunger return. (1) Start the pump and rotate the stroke length adjusting dial while operating the pump to adjust the discharge amount. (2) The relation between discharge amount and stroke length is as shown in the Fixed stroke rate graph on the left, where the discharge...
