6. hydraulic Installation 7. Self-venting pump head installation Self-venting pump head must be used when using chemicals that produce gas (i.e. hydrogen peroxide, ammonium, sodium hypoclorite at particular conditions). Refer to fig. 4-5 for delivery and venting hose. Hoses assembling procedures are the same described before. Fig.
8. Electrical Installation All electrical connections must be performed by AUThORIZED AND qUALIfIED personnel only. Before to proceed, please, verify the following steps: - verify that pump’s label values are compatible with main power supply. - pump must be connected to a plant with a differential switch (0,03A sensitivity) if there isn’t a good ground.
Page 17
Once verified previous steps proceed as follows: - check that “BNC” of level probe has been connected as described in “Hydraulic Installation” chapter. - connect “BNC” and external signal to pump’s “INPUT” connectors. Level input Power supply Input OR Water meter input Only for AMS IC;...
9. Level alarm - Models LEvEL ALARM CL, IS, IC, PV and TE type pump are provided with a liquid level alarm to indicate if product tank is empty. The level probe is connected to the right BNC plug on pump’s bottom panel. The level probe is made of a N.O. reed contact (10VA, 1A max, 230Vac max) closed by a floating magnet housed in a (PP) plastic box.

AMS IS Proportional/constant pump driven by a digital signal. Setting the switch on the constant position, the pump has the same features and adjustments of the CL pump. Setting the switch on the proportional position, to each external voltage free pulse correspond a magnet stroke. When proportional position is set, the % marked knob does NOT affect the pump capacity.

10. priming pRIMING To prime the pump without touching chemicals please do as follow: - connect all hoses into proper places (delivery hose, suction hose, outgassing hose). - open outgassing valve and turn on the pump. - set pump’s single injection at 100% and pulses at 50%. All air inside the pump head will exit through the outgassing outlet.
11. Troubleshooting problem possible Cause Pump isn’t powered. Connect it to main supply. Pump’s protection fuse is broken. Replace it. See page 19 for pump doesn’t turn on. replacement procedure. Pump’s main board is broken. Replace it. See page 19 for replacement procedure.
12. fuse and main board replacement Fuse or main board replacement is allowed to qualified personnel only. Before to operate disconnect the pump from main power and all hydraulic connections. For fuse replacement is necessary to use a 3x16 and 3x15 screwdriver and a new fuse (same model of old one). For main board replacement is necessary to use a 3x16 and 3x15 screwdriver and a new main board (same model of old one).
