Product Description 2.2.4 Functional Description, Delivery Unit: ® The heart of the delivery unit is the DEVELOPAN metering diaphragm (2). It hermetically seals the delivery chamber of liquid end (4) and produces a displacement in the liquid end. The end disc (5) made of chemically resistant plastic together with safety diaphragm (13) sepa- rates the drive housing from the delivery unit and protects the drive from corrosion in the event of the diaphragm failing.
Product Description 2.2.5 Integrated Overflow Valve with Bleeder Function Task: The task of the overflow valve is to protect the motor and gear unit against impermissible overpressure caused by the metering pump. This function is produced by a spring-loaded ball. A pressure relief mechanism for the bleeder function is provided.

Metering Pumps SICa Special Features of the SICa metering pump Functional Description of the Motor The drive motor is equipped with an integrated thermal overload protection device in all versions. This device responds when the maximum permitted winding temperature is exceeded and switches off the motor. When the motor has cooled down sufficiently in the stationary state, the thermal overload protection device switches on again automatically.

Operation After starting using an external contact or using the key, the preselected number of strokes is counted down on the display. When "1" is reached the pump stops and the display jumps back to the preselected number of strokes. If a new start contact takes place before the strokes to be executed are worked off, the preselected number of strokes is carried out again.
