Page 7 The beta/ X diaphragm metering pump is simple to handle, meters precisely and is digital. All aspects of the beta/ X are designed for ease of handling. The volume is adjusted directly using an intuitively operated Clickwheel. The volume to be pumped is adjusted directly on a display. And installation on the floor and on the wall is quick and easy thanks to its ‘click foot’.

Page 19 The dosing rate is set directly in l/h or ml/h. A full stroke is always performed. The longest possible metering stroke of the beta/ X is 1 minute. Above that, the pump switches to Start/Stop mode. In Start/Stop mode, the delivery volume can be reduced by a factor of 1:1,000.
Page 20 Functional description Fault indicating and pacing relay This combined relay can generate a contact with each stroke via its option pacing relay in addition to functioning as a fault indicating relay. The relay can be retrofitted through an installation opening in the pump foot - refer to the supplementary instructions for "Retrofitting relays"...

Starting up the metering pump Fill the liquid end by pressing the priming key. In the event of back pressure, the vent screw on the dosing head may need to be opened.
Page 39 Start up Draining the liquid end Turn the pump so that the pressure connector is facing downwards. Allow the medium to flow out of the liquid end. Flush a suitable medium through the suction connector and then blast with compressed air.
Page 40 Operation Operation WARNING! Danger of electric shock Supply voltage may be present inside the pump housing. – Safely and quickly disconnect the pump from the mains/power supply if the pump housing has been damaged. Only return the pump to operation after an authorised repair.
Page 41 Contact operating mode. The contacts are performed more slowly because of the limitation. Example: if 5 l/h is set in Contact mode, the beta/ X does not meter more than 5 l/h independently of the number of incoming contacts.
Page 42 Maintenance Maintenance WARNING! It is mandatory that you read the safety information and specifications in the "Storage, Transport and Unpacking" chapter prior to shipping the pump. CAUTION! Warning of feed chemical spraying around Feed chemical may spray out of the hydraulic com‐ ponents if they are tampered with or opened due to pressure in the liquid end and adjacent parts of the system.

Page 47 Repair 12.1 Replacing valves Do not clean valves, instead completely replace them! 12.2 Replacing the diaphragm Feed chemical may have accumulated behind the diaphragm in the backplate following a leak - depending on the design. Take this feed chemical into consideration when planning a repair if it is hazardous.
Page 48 Repair Fig. 13: Partially exploded view of the liquid end 12.2.1 Replacing the vPTFE diaphragm Spare parts for the vPTFE diaphragm The vPTFE diaphragm (full PTFE diaphragm) is replaced in the same way as the standard diaphragm. A fitted vPTFE diaphragm needs to be replaced once the dosing head screws have been loosened, as the pump will otherwise no longer be tight.
Page 49 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Safety information WARNING! Warning of hazardous feed chemical Should a dangerous feed chemical be used: it may escape from the hydraulic components when working on the pump, material failure or incorrect handling of the pump. – Take appropriate protective measures before working on the pump (e.g.
