Pump stroke Observe the maximum stroke rate of 120spm (FW-20H) or 80spm (FW-40H), or the pump can take in a large amount of air, resulting dry running. Supply air pressure range Observe the allowable supply air pressure range at each liquid temperature below. Liquid temperature range Observe the allowable liquid temperature range of 10-180 may reduce the life of the pump.

Operation and Stoppage • • Air exhaust port Do not narrow an air exhaust line (for example by reducing the tube I.D.). Or the residual pressure in the pump may deform the bellows. Leak sensors The sensors occasionally fails to detect leakage depending on operating conditions. Contact us for detail. Ambient temperature Observe the allowable operating ambient temperature range of 0-40 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.

Discharge line 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. Select a valve with an orifice equal to or larger than pipe I.D. A valve with a small orifice may increase the pipe resistance or easily be clogged with crystals.

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. In flooded suction application Bubbles go up.

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.
