Safety instructions Read through this section before use. This section describes important information for you to prevent personal injury or property damage. ■ Symbols In this instruction manual, the degree of risk caused by incorrect use is noted with the follow- ing symbols.
WARNINGS Turn off power before service Risk of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump and related devices before service is performed. Electrical shock Stop operation If you notice any abnormal or dangerous conditions, suspend operation immediately and inspect/solve problems.
CAUTIONS Qualified personnel only The pump should be handled or operated by qualified personnel with a full understanding of the pump. Any person not familiar with the product Requirement should not take part in the operation or management of the pump. Use specified power only Do not apply power other than that specified on the nameplate.

Do not use the pump in a wet location The pump is not waterproof. Use of the pump in wet or extremely humid locations could lead to electric shock or short circuit. Prohibited Grounding Risk of electrical shock! Always properly ground the pump. Conform to lo- cal electric codes.
Precautions for use • Electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician. Otherwise, personal injury or property damage may result. Caution • Do not install the pump: –In a flammable atmosphere. –In a dusty/humid place. –In direct sunlight or wind & rain. –Where ambient temperature can exceed 40ºC or falls below 0ºC.

• The pump has a rating of IP65, but is not waterproof. Do not operate the pump while wet with solution or water. Failure or injury may result. Immedi- ately dry off the pump if it gets wet. Caution • Do not close discharge line during operation. Solution may leak or tub- ing may break.
Overview Pump characteristics, features and part names are described in this sec- tion. Introduction Pump structure & Operating principle The EHN series is a diaphragm metering pump which consists of a pump head, drive unit and control unit. A diaphragm is directly driven by electromagnetic force. Principle of operation Electromagnetic force and spring force make reciprocating motion.
Features ● Multivoltage operation The EHN series is a multivoltage type (100-240VAC) and can be selected without concern for local power voltage. ● High turndown ratio Offers a digitally-controlled range of 1-360 (1spm resolution). ● IP rating of 66 The sealed drive unit and control unit assure IP66. * This pump is not water resistant.
EXT mode ■ Proportional control (Analogue control : See page 39) The pump increases/decreases a stroke rate in the range of 0-360spm in proportion to 0-20mA. An optimal proportional line must be established beforehand based on two different operating points (P1-A1, P2-A2).
■ Divisor setting (Digital control : See page 43) The pump increases/decreases a stroke rate by the external signal and the divisor. Set a divisor (1-999 pulse rates) per shot in advance of operation. * In the digital control with a preset divisor, the pump does not run over 360 spm at any pulse rate. *The pump makes one shot per pulse when a divisor is set to 1.
Part names Pump Gasket Covers a control unit mounting screw. Adjusting screw Used for opening the air vent port. Control unit Used for the start/stop of the pump and stroke rate adjust- ment/programming. Air vent port Always connect a tube. Be sure to return the tube end to a supply tank or a container.

■ Basic displays Display States Manual mode. The pump is running at 360spm. A waiting state. "WAIT" indication appears. Numerical value shows the MAN speed. EXT mode with a multiplier 5. The pump is making five shots per signal. EXT mode with a divisor 5. The pump is making one shot per 5-signal.
■ Alarm displays Display States "EXT" and "OVER" indications appear when the pump under ana- logue control is set to run over 360spm by the external current signal, however, the pump speed does not exceed that maximum rate at any current value.

Operation This section describes pump operation and programming. Run the pump after pipework and wiring are completed. Before operation First check tubing and wiring are correct. And then perform degassing and flow rate adjust- ment before starting operation. Points to be checked Before operation, check if: •...
Degassing The gas in the pump and tubing is the obstacle to liquid delivery and needs to be expelled before the pump is started. Especially: • When the pump starts to run for the first time. • When a flow rate is too low. •...

Rotate the adjusting screw two revolutions anticlockwise Adjusting screw to open the air vent port. NOTE Do not rotate the screw three revolutions. The adjusting screw may come off with solution spray. Push the start/stop key and run the pump for more than ten minutes for degassing.
Flow rate adjustment The flow rate can be changed by a stroke rate and a stroke length adjustment. The stroke rate represents the pump speed in spm (stroke per minute). The stroke rate adjustment is the main way to adjust the flow rate from the pump. The stroke length represents the moving distance of the plunger.
■ Stroke rate adjustment The stroke rate can be set by keypad operation from 1 to 360spm. The relation between the flow rate* and the stroke rate is shown as below. Fixed stroke length * 100% discharge capacity equals to the flow rate described on the nameplate.
■ Stroke length adjustment The 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 the C type. The relation between the flow rate* and the stroke length is shown as below.

■ Digital control programming The pump operation is controlled by the external (pulse) signal. Set a multiplier or a divisor as necessary for its intended purpose before operation. Multiplier setting The pump increases/decreases a stroke rate by the external signal and the multiplier. Set a multiplier (1-999 shots) per pulse in advance of operation.

Divisor programming The pump increases/decreases a stroke rate by the external signal and the divisor. Set a divisor (1-999 pulse rates) per shot in advance of operation. NOTE If a divisor is set to 1, the pump speed equals to the external pulse rate (1:1 operation). This operation, how- ever, may be upset when the pulse rate has exceeded 360spm and the extra signals are cancelled.

STOP function The start/stop of the pump operation can be controlled by the external stop signal. • Operation stop at the stop signal input: "M-OF" The pump stops while receiving the stop signal. • Operation resumption at the stop signal input: "M-ON" The pump runs while receiving the stop signal.
Keypad lock Keypad lock can be active for the prevention of erroneous key operation. NOTE Any key operation is not effective when keypads are locked. In an emergency, turn off the main power to stop operation. Keypads are locked again when the pump is powered. ■...
Maintenance This section describes troubleshooting, maintenance, wear part replace- ment, exploded views and specifications. Points to be observed Observe the following points during maintenance work. • Follow instructions in this manual for replacement of wear parts. Do not disassemble the pump beyond the extent of the instructions.
Troubleshooting First check the following points. If the following measures do not help remove problems, con- tact your nearest distributor. ■ Pump States Possible causes Solutions The pump does not Power voltage is too low. • Observe the allowable voltage range of run.
Inspection Perform daily and periodic inspection to keep the best pump performance and safety. Daily inspection Check the following points. If you notice any abnormal or dangerous conditions, suspend operation immedi- ately and inspect/solve problems. See the "Troubleshooting" section as necessary. When wear parts come to the life limit, replace them with new ones.
Wear part replacement To run the pump for a long period, wear parts need to be replaced periodically. It is recommended that the following parts are always stocked for immediate replacement. Contact your nearest distributor for detail. Precautions • Solution in the discharge line may be under pressure. Release the pressure from the discharge line before disconnecting plumbing or disassembly of the pump to avoid solu- tion spray.
Before replacement First release pressure from the pump head and discharge line. Stop the pump operation. Rotate the adjusting screw two revolutions anticlockwies or open an air vent line to re- lease pressure. NOTE Do not rotate the screw three revolutions from the closed position. The adjusting screw may come off with solution spray.
