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 place where the pump can get wet. Avoid using wet gas, or internal con- densation will build up and consequently result in the short lives of the valve and diaphragm.

• Do not tube pump heads in series. It may prevent the motor from starting, causing burning out or may damage the diaphragm or piping. • Do not tube two or more pumps in series. It may prevent the motor from starting and lead to a burn out.

• The pump can not start with full discharge/suc- Suction pressure tion pressure. Remove pressure before operation. After a long period of stoppage, pump perfor- mance at the beginning of operation becomes occasionally unstable. In this case, warm the pump up for 10 minutes with no discharge line pressure.
Introduction Pump structure & Operating principle The APN-P110-D4 is a diaphragm type air pump with a brushless DC motor. The rotary motion of the motor is converted through a connecting rod to the reciprocation of the diaphragm in the pump chamber, where gas is transferred from the inlet to outlet.

Installation This section describes the installation of the pump, tubing and wiring. Read through this section before work. Observe the following points • Risk of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump and related devices before service is performed. •...
Pipework Connect tubes to the pump. Tube end (Side view) Before operation • Cut the tube ends flat. Tube connection a. The short tubing with the minimum bends is optimal to reduce resist- ance. b. Use vinyl tubes resistant to the pumping pressure. Tube I.D.
Wiring Wiring for power source, earthing and external signal. Observe the following points • Electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician. Conform to local electric codes. • Do not perform wiring work while power is on. Otherwise, an electrical shock or short circuit may result, and consequently the pump may fail.

Operation The pump becomes ready after pipework and wiring is completed. Pump operation Start-up Before operation a. Check that the pump is firmly fixed on a mounting position. b. Check that a suction tube is connected to the inlet and a discharge tube is connected to the outlet.
After the pump has reached a specified stroke rate, initiate full scale operation. • Always adjust an air flow by a suction valve. • In case electric power has failed while the pump is running, switch off main power. Otherwise, the motor may not restart or may burn out depending on a line pressure at the time of power recovery.
Maintenance This section describes troubleshooting, inspection, wear part replacement, exploded views and specifications. Observe the following points • Follow instructions in this manual for replacement of wear parts. Do not disassemble the pump beyond the extent of the instructions. • Always wear protective clothing such as an eye protection, chemical resistant gloves, a mask and a face shield during disassembly, assembly or maintenance work.

Inspection Perform daily and periodic inspections to keep pump performance and safety. Daily inspection Check the following points every day. If you notice any abnormal or dangerous conditions, suspend operation immediately and remove problems according to "Troubleshooting". When wear parts come to the life limit, replace them by new ones. Contact your distributor for detail.
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. Wear part list If pump performance has remarkably reduced, replace diaphragms and valves with new ones.
Diaphragm replacement Unscrew all the pump head fixing screws. Pump head Take out the combination of the pump fixing screw head, valve and valve seat. * Do not separate each part. Pump head Remove the diaphragm fixing screw Valve Mating and detach the retainer plate and dia- point Valve seat...
Valve replacement Unscrew the pump head fixing screws. Take out the pump head and valve from the valve seat. Replace the old valve with new one. Always check the mating point and fit a new valve onto the valve seat. Mount the pump head.
