TABLE OF CONTENTS Thank you for choosing a Iwaki Walchem EH-FF Series metering pump. This instruction manual deals with the correct installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for the EHC-FF and EHE-FF model metering pumps. Please read through it carefully to ensure the optimum performance, safety and service of your pump.
This action pulls the diaphragm out of the head cavity increasing volume and decreasing pressure. Atmospheric pressure then pushes liquid from the supply tank through the suction check valves to refill the pump head. EHB & EHC Series Metering Pumps...

INSTALLATION Unpacking Open the shipping carton and inspect contents for damage. If any items are missing or damaged contact your local distributor to arrange for replacement. Location Choose a location for the pump that is clean, dry, close to an electrical outlet, and allows convenient access to stroke length control, frequency control, and tubing connections.
Installing Back Pressure/Anti-syphon Valve It is recommended for all EH-FF installations that a back pressure/anti-siphon valve be used to ensure pump accuracy and repeatability. The back pressure/anti-siphon valve acts to create back pressure when pumping into atmosphere or low pressure applications. It also prevents siphoning through the pump when the supply level is above the installed unit.
OPERATION Priming R-Module Install the pump as described above. With the pump turned on, set stroke length at 100% and frequency at 100%. Liquid should move through the suction tubing and into the pump head. When liquid enters the discharge tubing at the pump head set frequency to 0% to stop the pump.
Pumps using the ‘Y’ Control Module The pump will operate best with the stroke length at 100%. If less than full output is required, set the frequency to the desired strokes per minute using the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Example: Model EHC35FF-11UPY12 has maximum output of 420 ml/min.
External Control Pumps using the ‘R’ Control Module For pulse proportional external control of pump frequency, connect the control signal leads to terminals 4 (positive) and 6 (common) inside the control module. The input signal should not exceed 360 pulses per minute (See Figure 9). The external circuit should be capable of switching 10 VDC at 2 mA with a pulse width of 10 ms to 100 ms (for R &...

Sensor Power Y-Module The control circuit of the Y Module has the ability to provide 12 VDC at up to 20 mA to power a Hall effect sensor or similar device. Connect the sensor power leads to terminal 4 (positive) and terminal 8 (negative) of the terminal block.

Press EXT to operate the pump in external mode. The pump will now respond to the incoming pulse signal. The stroke length can be adjusted manually to set the volume pumped per stroke. Analog Mode In analog mode the pump will accept a milliamp signal and produce a pump speed proportional to the signal level received.

2. Set the value To set values for analog operation, press EXT and simultaneously. The display will show A04.0 (or some value between 00.0 and 20.0 mA) with the point 1 indicator highlighted. Press to adjust the value to the desired analog signal level for point 1.
STOP Function Additionally, the pump can be controlled in start-stop mode. In this mode, AC power is applied continuously and pump operation is stopped by completing the circuit between the positive ‘stop’ and common terminals inside the control module (R Control Module: 5 (positive) and 6 (common), Y Control Module: 7 (positive) and 8 (common), E Module: 6 (positive) 8 (common)).
MAINTENANCE Caution: Before working on the pump, disconnect the power cord, depres- surize the discharge tubing and drain or flush any residual liquid from the pump head and valves. Diaphragm Replacement Disconnect AC power to the pump and disconnect the suction tubing, discharge tubing, and air vent tubing.
