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.
WARNING Turn off power before work Risk of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump and related devices before service is performed. Let other people know about the situation by displaying a notice such as "POWER OFF (Maintenance)" Requirement near the power switch.
CAUTION 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 maintenance of the pump. Use specified power only Do not apply any power other than that specified on the nameplate.

CAUTION Wear part replacement Follow instructions in this manual for wear part replacement. Do not dis- mantle the pump beyond the extent of the instructions. Requirement Before returning product Be sure to drain chemicals and clean the inside of the pump before return so that a harmful chemical does not spill out in transit.
Precautions for use • During transit: –Do not hit/wet the package. –Do not place the package lateral/up side down. – Keep the package dry. Caution – Do not stack the package on top of another. • Electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician. Otherwise, personal injury or property damage could result.
Introduction Pump structure & Operating principle An Iwaki FS series pneumatic drive bellows pump has fluoric wet ends and is designed for semiconductor manufacturing processes. Principle of operation The pump unit has two air chambers and a pair of bellows. The reciprocating motion of the bellows in the air chambers introduces/delivers solution.
Part names Pump IN label OUT label Outlet Handle Spec label Proximity switch and leak sensor wires. Connect them to the controller. Supply air port Base Base to anchor the pump *Do not clean the pump or spec label with a solvent such as benzine or thinner. *Two or more personnel must be required to lift and move this pump.
Operating conditions Pump stroke Observe the maximum stroke rate of each pump, or the pump can take in a large amount of air, resulting dry running. * Use the FDC-1 controller and set the maximum allowable speed. Supply air pressure range Observe the allowable supply air pressure range at each liquid temperature below.
Operation and Stoppage ■ During operation Make sure a suction and a discharge line are fully opened. ■ When stopping the pump • Before stopping the pump, release discharge line pressure. Otherwise, the bellows may deform. • Do not close a discharge valve as stopping the pump, or an impact pressure may deform the bellows or con- necting plate.
Identification codes Each code represents the following information. FS - 15 H T 1 - 01 c d e a. Series name FS : Medium & High liquid temperature b. Maximum flow rate 15 : 15L/min 30 : 30L/min 60 : 55L/min c.
Installation This section describes the installation of the pump, piping and wiring. Read through this section before work. To operate this pump, a 5-port solenoid valve and FDC-1 controller is needed. Always install QEVs (quick exhaust valves) to secure system safety.

Select a location Select a level location, free from vibration, that won't hold liquid. Anchor the pump so it doesn't vibrate. See page 9 as well. * Flooded suction application is recommended. * Observe the maximum suction lift (1m for the FS-15, 2m for the FS-30/-60) in suction lift application. Anchor the pump so it doesn't vibrate Position the pump upright with the outlet upward and inlet sideways.
Liquid line piping The pump has different sizes of the inlet/outlet PFA tube at each model. See the table below. Use applicable tube fittings for the connection with your piping system. Piping Pump head tube Model PFA tube sizes FS-15 1/2"...
Suction line ■ Flooded suction Have the suction line wide and shortest in flooded suction application. In suction lift application, observe the maximum suction lift. * The suction lift differs with the liquid’s characteristics, temperature and suction line length. For detailed information, con- tact us.
Discharge line ■ Pulsation reduction The pipe resistance increases as a discharge line becomes longer or the number of bends increases. In order to decrease pipe resistance, install a dampener and minimizes pulsation. * When sending a liquid up via a riser pipe, install a check valve as well as a dampener. ■...
Degassing Gas bubbles are generated when a strong acid is fed into the reaction tank or liquid is transferred through a narrow tube. If such bubbles enter the bellows, the pump runs dry, increasing stroke rate or disturbing liquid transfer. Take a proper step for degassing. Plan A (Install a baffle to remove gas bubbles) In flooded suction application Bubbles go up.
Air line piping Points to be observed Observe the following points when building up a supply air line. • A fluctuation of supply air pressure affects the stroke rate and the flow rate. Install a regulator to maintain the supply air pressure constant. •...
Air line piping diagram The diagram below is a general layout of an air-line. Air source Pump Supply air valve Supply air port I.D. of the pump FS-15H/-30H Rc1/4" FS-60H Rc3/8" a. Regulator Select one regulator per pump in accordance with the maximum air consumption of the pump. * A supply air pressure should not drop 20kPa lower than the maximum rating of the regulator.

d. Muffler Mufflers should be installed on the exhaust ports of the SV or QEV. Observe the effective cross-sectional area of the mufflers at each pump model. Model Effective cross-sectional area FS-15H/-30H 35mm or more FS-60H 60mm or more e. The air line between the SV and QEV The optimal air line I.D.
Composite effective cross-sectional area ■ Effective cross-sectional area 1. Pneumatic devices When air is sent through an air line, air cannot flow fully to the actual cross-sectional area due to piping resistance. In the field of pneumatic devices, the term “Effective cross-sectional area” is used to indicate actual air flow.
Electric wiring Two 5-port double solenoid valves and the FDC-1 controller is required. Points to be observed Observe the following points during wiring work. • Electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician. Always observe applica- ble codes or regulations. •...

Operation This section describes pump operation and programming. Run the pump after pipework and wiring are completed. Before operation Always check the following items before the first-time operation or resuming operation after a long period of stoppage. Check if electric wiring is made correctly. Check the wiring of proximity switches, leak sensors, solenoid valves, and electropneumatic regulators.
Pump operation The start/stop of the pump is controlled by the FDC-1 controller in MANU mode or a user PLC in AUTO mode. The procedure below is the example of starting the pump by keypad operation with the FDC-1. Points to be observed Before operation in your system, conduct a trial run with pure water (or chemical liquid) to flush out particles or to measure metal ion level.
Flow rate adjustment Use the air valve to adjust the supply air pressure/flow rate and determine a liquid flow. Stoppage Points to be observed • Before stopping the pump, release the pressure from the discharge line. Otherwise, the bellows may deform. •...
Maintenance This section describes troubleshooting, inspection, specification and di- mensions. Points to be observed Observe the following points during maintenance work. • Observe instructions in this manual for maintenance, inspection, dismantlement and as- sembly. Do not dismantle the pump beyond the extent of the instructions. •...

Inspection Perform daily and periodic inspection to keep pump performance and safety. Daily inspection Check for a leak or any other abnormality during operation. If you notice any abnormal conditions, stop opera- tion immediately and remove problems according to the "Troubleshooting" section. Replacement of wear parts is necessary at periodic intervals.
Wear part list To run the pump for a long period, wear parts need to be replaced periodically or when pump performance has reduced. Contact your distributor with the following information for wear part replacement. 1. Part names and part number (See the "Part names" section on page 40 or later.) 2.
