KM 251 en General Caution Risk of malfunction or damage to the device! The installation site must be under cover! Pumps with electronics are only suitable for indoor use! Do not install outdoors! 1.2.9 Dosing Medium Note In the event of questions regarding the material resistance and suitability of the KM 251 for specific dosing media, please contact the manufacturer.
KM 251 en Application of the Device 1.3.1 Appropriate, Acceptable and Correct Usage The KM 251 pump, described here is suitable for dosing liquid media strictly in accor- dance with the instructions in this manual. Note Pumps in explosion protected version are identified accordingly on the pump type plate and motor type plate, and an EC Declaration of conformity is provided in accordance with guidelines 94/9/EC, which replaces the EC Declaration of conform- ity which is printed in this instruction manual.
KM 251 en Safety Safety This operation manual contains general instructions that must be observed during instal- lation, operation and maintenance of the pump. This operation manual must therefore be read by the installation engineer and the relevant qualified personnel/operators prior to installation and start-up, and must be available at the installation location of the pump at all times.
KM 251 en Safety Instructions for the Operator / User Hazardous hot or cold parts on the pump must be protected to prevent accidental contact. Leakages of dangerous substances (e.g. hot, toxic) must be disposed of in a way that is not harmful to humans or the environment.
KM 251 en Safety Warning To operate a pump which has been identified as an explosion protected pump for the dosing of combustible liquids or for operation in potentially explosive opera- ting sites in accordance with guideline 94/9/EC, refer to the enclosed instruction manual “Operating an explosion protected pump”...
KM 251 en Transport and Intermediate Storage Transport Caution Risk of malfunction or damage to the pump! Do not throw or drop the pump. 3.1.1 Delivery The piston diaphragm dosing pump KM 251 is supplied in different packaging depending on the overall delivery. For transport and intermediate storage, use the correct packaging to protect the pump against damage.
KM 251 en Product Description and Accessories Product Description and Accessories General Description The KM 251 are oscillatory positive-displacement pumps with hydraulic diaphragm con- trol. The operation procedure of the dosing pump is shown in the sectional drawing. The rotational movement of the drive motor (1p) is converted via the worm gearing (2p) and eccentric (3p) into the oscillatory suction and stroke movement of the piston (6p).
KM 251 en Product Description and Accessories diaphragm gap (the manometer indicates “0” when the pump is running and when it is stopped). If one of these diaphragms breaks, the dosing or hydraulic medium penetrates into the intermediate gap and, when the ball is removed, into the valve. The system pressure is therefore impinged on the valve and the contact manometer is activated.

KM 251 en Tank installation: • For non-degassing media with viscosity similar to water, the pump can be mounted onto the tank (observe the admissible suction height). Preferable for flooded suction. For dosing media which tend to sedimentation: • Install a suction line with filter (13i) in a way ensuring that the suction valve remains several centimetres a bove the botton of the tank.
Page 25
KM 251 en Installation To install the suction line: • Keep the suction line as short as pos- sible, avoid a tangled suction line • If necessary, use swept bends instead of elbows. • Always lay the suction line rising to the suction valve of the dosing pump.
KM 251 en Tube/Pipe Lines 5.3.1 General Warning The resistance of the parts that come into contact with the media depends on the media, media temperature and operating pressure. Ensure the parts that come into contact with the media are chemically resistant to the dosing medium in operating conditions! Only use the specified line types! All lines must be free from strain! If necessary, use swept bends instead of elbows, avoid loops and buckles in the tubes! Ensure...
