Control panel All models: PZD/CLPZD/ARPZD The stroke speed (strokes/min), ratio (%) or discharge volume (mL/min) is set directly on the control panel. STP PS mL/min STOP MODE START SET/RST Part & indicator Description This lights while the power is on, and blinks in synchronization with pump q [PL] lamp operation.
Air releasing WARNING • During the air releasing, chemical may suddenly gush out from the pipes and other parts. Lead the end of the relief/air-release hose bank to the tank or other container, and secure it so that it will not become disconnected.
Page 39
Air releasing Small type w/ relief-valve function (1) Before proceeding with the air releasing, check that the end of the relief/air-release hose has been led back to the tank or other container. (2) Turn off the pump’s power, and release the pressure inside the discharge-side pipe. (3) Turn on the pump’s power.

Page 41
Air releasing 6TCT type (1) Turn off the pump’s power, and release the pressure inside the dis- charge-side pipe. (2) Loosen slightly the air-release nozzle at the bottom right of the pump head by turning it counterclockwise. Air-release nozzle (3) Insert the hose pump provided, operate the pump, and draw up the chemical until all the air in the pump head comes out.
Page 42
Air releasing Setting the discharge volume to its maximum level The procedure for setting the discharge volume to its maximum level will be described in the each of the following modes: stroke-speed setting mode, ratio setting mode and discharge-volume setting mode. ■In the stroke-speed setting mode (1) Press the [MODE/SET/RESET] key a number of times until the unit display is set to [spm] (strokes/min).
Calibration About calibration Calibration is a procedure that enables the discharge volume to be set accurately by measuring the maximum dis- charge volume under actual operating conditions at the user’s and storing this volume in the pump’s memory. Example: Calibration is described below using the PZD-30R with a discharge-volume setting of 15 mL/min. (1) Although the discharge volume is set to 15 mL/min, a volume of 16 mL /min will actually be discharged.
Page 44
Calibration Calibration procedure The procedure is described using the PZD-30R as an example. (1) Install the pump and pipes to suit the actual pipe connection conditions for a trial run. (2) Provide a measuring container (such as a graduated measuring cylinder) which can be used to obtain an accurate measurement of the pump’s maximum discharge volume in one minute.
Setting flow All models: PZD/CLPZD/ARPZD Power ON Stroke-speed setting mode The stroke speed can be adjusted within a range of 1 to 300 spm (strokes/min) using the keys. ✽ The stroke speed can be changed even while the pump is operating. MODE Ratio setting mode The ratio can be adjusted within a range of 1 to 100%...
Discharge-volume setting All models: PZD/CLPZD/ARPZD The discharge volume can be set by one of the following methods. ■Stroke-speed setting mode ■Ratio setting mode The stroke speed (1 to 300 strokes/min) range is set in The ratio (1 to 100%) range is set in increments of 1%. 1-stroke increments.
Page 47
Discharge-volume setting ■Discharge-volume setting mode The discharge volume (0.1 mL/min to maximum dis- charge volume) range is set in increments of 0.1 mL/min. ✽ Actual control is exercised using the stroke speed so the least increment in which the speed can be con- trolled is the discharge volume per stroke (maximum discharge volume divided by 300).
Procedure for prolonged shutdown of operation Follow the steps below when shutting down the pump for a prolonged period. To shut down the pump (1) Operate the pump so that clean water or cleaning fluid is sucked in and discharged for about 30 minutes to clean the inside of the pump head.
• When trouble has occurred (such as when smoke appears or there is a smell of burning), shut down the pump’s operation immediately, and contact your vender or a TACMINA representative. Otherwise, a fire, electric shocks and/or malfunctions may result.
Replacing the diaphragm IMPORTANT • When securing the pump head using the head bolts, tighten them up evenly a little at a time in the sequence shown in the figure on the right. If, for instance, the bolts are tightened up in the sequence of 1 →...
Replacing the diaphragm IMPORTANT • Replace the protective diaphragm at the same time as the diaphragm. Installing the diaphragm (1) Align the groove in the spacer with the new protective diaphragm, and assemble them properly. (small type only) (2) Fit the new protective diaphragm (with spacer for the small type) into the pump shaft. (3) Align the auxiliary ring at the fixed position shown below, and install it.
Replacing the valve seats and check balls IMPORTANT • Install the parts in the correct sequence and correct directions. • Pay special attention to the sequence and directions for the joints and valve seat assemblies. • Check the O-ring, check balls and valve seats for damage and dirt.
