SPECIFICATIONS

General Specifications

Dimensions

INSTALLATION

• When facing the pump, the roller assembly spins in a clockwise direction. The inlet (suction) side is located on the left side of the pump head, and the outlet (discharge) is located on the right.
• Mount the pump in a level, dry location close to the injection point. To minimize back-pressure on the system, keep the discharge tubing a short as possible.
• The recommended location is above the height of the solution tank. Mounting the pump lower than the solution tank will gravity feed the solution and create a "flooded suction" installation. In this scenario, a shut-off valve or other device must be installed to stop the solution flow to the pump during pump servicing.
• In installations involving pressure, a check valve should be used at the point of injection to prevent potential back-flow.
• Do not mount pump directly over an open solution tank as chemical fumes may damage the pump.
• Voltage and frequency of power supply must be the same as shown on unit specification label.
• Ambient air temperature should not exceed 104°F (40°C) and adequate air flow should be provided.

OPERATION

Tube failure may result in fluid being sprayed from pump. Use appropriate measures to protect operator and equipment. Tubing should be inspected periodically for tears, cracks, cuts, or abrasions.

Use only factory approved tubing from the designated tubing class. Incorrect tubing can adversely affect performance or damage the pump.

Controls

All pumps are equipped with a rocker switch mounted on the side of the pump. Always confirm the switch is in the designated OFF position before plugging the pump into any power source.
3-Way Rocker - For units equipped with a 3-way rocker switch, left (to pump head) is full speed ON mode, center is OFF, and right (to back of pump) is EXTERNAL/AUX.
Potentiometer - Variable speed models are equipped with either a single-turn or 10-turn potentiometer to regulate pump speed. Timed dosing models are equipped with a 10-turn potentiometer for control of ON time setting.
Momentary Button - Timed dosing models are equipped with a momentary button to test the ON time setting for calibration purposes.

Adjusting Flow Output

Flow output is controlled by motor speed which is adjusted via a potentiometer (if equipped), or through a digital terminal emulation program for models equipped with the serial control feature.
Fixed Speed - There is no flow output adjustment.
Variable Speed - Flow output is controlled by motor speed with a potentiometer or through digital controls. Rates are adjustable from approximately 5% to 100%. If equipped with a 4-20mA control option, pump speed will vary as the dedicated input signal changes amplitude. If equipped with a serial control option, pump speed will vary by adjustments made via your terminal emulation program.
Timed Dosing - ON TIME is set by a control interface up to the model's maximum dispense time. When the 3-way rocker switch is in the EXTERNAL/AUX position, the pump will dispense for the selected ON TIME once per signal.
Serial Control - See Section Remote Operations.

Remote Operations

Serial Control

1. With the 3-way toggle switch in the center position, power the device using the included DC power cable. Connect to the pump with a USB-B cable.
   
2. With the 3-way power toggle, switch the device to the right or remote management EXTERNAL/AUX position.
   
3. If using a Windows^® device, navigate to "Device Manager" and locate your COM devices. Identify the COM name associated with the serial device. It will appear with a name such as "COM1", "COM2", or "COM3".
4. Open a terminal emulator program that is compatible with serial devices, such as PuTTY. If using PuTTY, navigate to Session > "Connection Type" > Radio Button "Serial". Do not select Connections > Serial.
5. Enter the COM name of the device under Serial Line. Input the following settings, then open the connection.

Remote Start/Stop

For pump models equipped with remote start/stop, this feature operates by receiving a dry contact signal and is intended to be connected to a dry contact switch. The input has no polarity. No voltage is permitted on the input signal. The pump will activate and run while the switch is closed and deactivate and stop when the switch opens.
To activate this feature, install the pair of wires from the dry contact switch closure device into the terminal block (Figure 3). Set the 3-way rocker in the "right" position to place the pump in EXTERNAL/ AUX mode. The pump will now operate only when receiving a closed contact signal. To return to local control, move the rocker switch to the "left" or Internal control position.

4-20mA Control

For models equipped with a 4-20mA feature, the pump's output will vary according to the level of an incoming 4-20mA analog signal. The pump's maximum output to the signal is scalable between 20% and 100%, as determined by the percentage setting on the potentiometer.
For standard signal models, the minimum output is approximately 5.0% at 4.8mA and increases in 1.0% increments for every.16mA until 100% of the scaled output (based upon the potentiometer setting) is reached at 20.0mA.

For inverted signal models, the maximum output (as established by the potentiometer setting) is reached at 4.8mA and decreases, as above, until reaching zero output at 20.0mA.

NOTE
Loop voltage for all models may not exceed 36VDC.

To establish and operate the analog control feature:

1. Install the two-wire lead (left side of terminal is positive; right is negative) from the 4-20mA source into the terminal block.
   
2. Set the potentiometer to the desired scaling percentage. To operate without scaling, set the potentiometer to 100%.
3. Set the 3-way rocker in the "right" position to enter Figure 6 EXTERNAL/AUX mode. The pump will now operate only when receiving the analog signal.
4. While in EXTERNAL/AUX mode, the pump can be turned off by setting the potentiometer to 0%.
   To return the pump manual control, place the rocker switch to the down, ON position.

MAINTENANCE

Routine Inspection

The pump should be inspected on a weekly basis. Inspect for any signs of leaking and early indications of potential tube failure (e.g., swelling, cracking or discoloration). Replace any worn or damaged components immediately. Always check the chemical compatibility and pressure rating of the tubing prior to use.

Replacing the Tubing

Pump tubing must be replaced on a regular basis. While replacement within 500 hours of run time is recommended, tube longevity is ultimately determined by many factors, including tube formulation, the chemical composition of the fluid being pumped, system back pressure, pump speed, temperature, and more.

Tubing connections may be under pressure. Always depressurize the system prior to connecting or disconnecting the pump.

Tubing may contain chemicals. Wear protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses when working with or near the pump.

Severe pinching of fingers can occur while installing and removing the tubing. Caution must be used to keep fingers away from rotating parts. Always disconnect the pump before beginning tube replacement procedures.
Use only factory designated tubing. Incorrect tubing can adversely affect performance or damage the pump.
