Outline The information such as characteristics, features and part names are described in this section. 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.
Features ● Multivoltage All the EHN-R series is multivoltage type (100-240VAC) and can be selected without concern for local power voltage. ● High resolution Digitally-controlled spm range is 1-360 (1-300spm for the VH/PH-V). The stroke length shifts for a fine flow adjustment.
Page 14
Multiplier programming (See page 50) 1-999 shots can be allocated to one pulse signal. *In the EXT operation, the pump runs at the manual operation spm. *The pump runs in 1:1 operation when the multiplier is programmed to 1. Example) When the multiplier is programmed to 5, the pump makes five shots per signal.
Page 15
● STOP function (See 58 page) The start/stop of the pump 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. *The pump resumes operation when the stop signal is released. STOP signal input Pump operation Stop...

Wiring Wiring for the power source, earthing and external signal. Observe the following points during wiring work. • Electrical work shall be performed by a qualified operator. Always ob- serve applicable codes or regulations. • Observe the rated voltage range. Otherwise the electrical circuit on the control unit may break.
Page 27
NOTE • Do not share a power source with a high power equipment which may generate surge voltage. Otherwise electronic circuit may fail. The noise caused by the inverter also affects the electronic circuit. • Power voltage should be charged at a sitting via a switch or a relay. Otherwise CPU may malfunction.
Precautions for ON-OFF control by the relay The control unit is equipped with CPU. Always start/stop the pump by the STOP signal. Do not start/stop the pump by turning ON/OFF power be- cause it may adversely affect CPU. If there is no choice but to turn ON/OFF power, observe the following points.
Page 29
NOTE • Do not install the EXT/STOP signal wires in parallel with a power cable or combine them in a concentric cable (ex. 5 wires cable). Otherwise noise is generated through the EXT/STOP signal wires due to induction effect and it results in malfunction or failure.

Program the stroke rate to 360spm. • This programming is not necessary when the display already shows 360. Move to the next step. • See page 38 "Flow rate adjustment" for detail. * Program 300spm for the VH/PH-V. Push the start/stop key and run the pump for more than ten min- utes.
Flow rate adjustment A flow rate can be adjusted by the stroke rate and stroke length. The stroke rate is indicated in spm (stroke per minutes). Stroke rate adjustment is a main way to adjust a flow rate. Stroke length is the moving distance of the plunger. A flow rate per shot can be controlled by changing stoke length.
Flow rate, stroke rate and stroke length B type C type Fixed stroke rate 360spm Fixed stroke rate 360spm (VH/PH-V:300spm) (Stroke rate is fixed at 100%.)

■ Stroke length adjustment 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 C type. The relation between a flow rate* and stroke length is shown as below. Fixed stroke rate Stroke length adjustment *The flow rate described on the nameplate is at 100%.
Rotate the stroke length adjusting knob Stroke length adjusting knob and adjust a flow rate while the pump is running. Before a long period of stoppage (One month or more) Clean the insides of pump head and tubing. • Run the pump with clean water for about thirty minutes to rinse the insides of the pump head and tubing.

Maintenance This section describes troubleshooting, inspection, wear part replacement, exploded views and specifications. Important • Observe instructions in this manual for maintenance, inspection, disman- tlement and assembly. Do not dismantle the pump beyond the extent of the instructions. • Always wear protective clothing such as an eye protection, chemical resistant gloves, a mask and a work cap during dismantlement, assembly or maintenance work.
Troubleshooting First check the following points. If the following measures do not help removing problems, contact us or your nearest dealer. States Possible causes Solutions Power voltage is too low. • Recover the power voltage to a The pump does not normal level.

Inspection Perform daily inspection and periodic inspection to keep pump performance and safety. Daily inspection Check the following points. Upon sensing abnormal condition, stop operation immediately and remove problems according to "Troubleshooting". When wear parts come to the life limit, replace them by new ones. Contact us or your nearest dealer for detail.
Wear part replacement For a long operation wear parts need to be replaced periodically. It is recommended that the following parts are always stocked for immediate replacement. Contact us or your nearest dealer for detail. Precautions • When dismantling the pump, pay attention to the residual liquid in the pump.
* Wear part duration varies with the pressure, temperature and characteristics of the liquid. * The estimated life is calculated based on the continuous operation with ambient clean water. Before replacement First release the pressure from the pump. Stop the pump operation. Rotate the adjusting screw two revolutions anticlockwise to open the air vent port.
