3.0 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 pumphead, and the outlet (discharge) is located on the right.
• Mount the pump in a level, dry location close to the injection point. To minimize backpressure 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 backflow.
• 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.
• AC power must be connected to a Grounded Power Outlet (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter GFCI).
DO NOT operate pump on an un-grounded circuit.
• Ambient air temperature should not exceed 104° F (40° C) and adequate air flow should be provided.

4.0 OPERATION
WARNING: 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.
WARNING! Use only factory approved tubing from the designated tubing class. Incorrect tubing can
adversely affect performance or damage the pump.
4.1 Controls
All pumps are equipped with a rocker switch mounted on the front of the pump. Always confirm the
switch is in the designated Off position before plugging the pump into any power receptacle.
2-Way Rocker - For units equipped with a two-way rocker, the up position is On, and the down
position is Off.
3-Way Rocker - For units equipped with a 3-way rocker, up is On, center is Off, and the down
position is either External mode, or Run mode, depending on the pump model.
Potentiometer – Variable speed models are equipped with a single turn potentiometer on the front
of the pump which regulates the speed. Cycle timed models are equipped with a 10-turn
potentiometer allowing for precision control of run time setting.
4.2 Adjusting Flow Output
Fixed Speed Models – There is no flow output adjustment.
Variable Speed Models – Flow output is controlled by motor speed utilizing the potentiometer.
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. Please refer to Remote
Operation below for more details on 4-20mA operation.
Cycle Timer Models – Cycle time is defined as the sum of the on time plus off time. On time is set
by the position of the potentiometer and can be incremented up to the model’s maximum total cycle
time. When the 3-way rocker switch is in the down position (Run Mode), the pump will dispense for
the selected time, remain off for the balance of the total cycle time, and then repeat the on cycle
indefinitely until the pump is powered off or switched out of the Run Mode.
4.3 Remote Operation
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 1). Set the 3-way rocker in the
down position to place the pump in External mode. The pump will now operate
only when receiving a closed contact signal. To return to local control, move the
rocker switch to the up, Internal mode, position.

4.3 Remote Operation (Cont.)
4-20mA Control – For pump models equipped with 4-20mA speed control, this feature operates by
receiving a 4-20mA input signal which controls the pump’s motor speed. The minimum speed is 5%
at 4.8mA and increases in 1% increments for every .16mA until 100% speed is reached at 19.9mA.
Loop voltage may not exceed 24VDC.
To activate this feature, install the two-wire lead (left side of terminal is positive,
the right side is negative) from the 4-20mA source into the terminal block
(Figure 2). Set the 3-way rocker in the down position to place the pump in
External mode. The pump will now operate only when receiving a 4-20mA
signal. To return to local control, move the rocker switch to the up, Internal
mode, position.
5.0 MAINTENANCE
5.1 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 its use.
5.2 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. Use only factory designated tubing. Incorrect tubing can adversely affect
performance or damage the pump.
WARNING! Tubing connections may be under pressure. Always depressurize the system prior to
connecting or disconnecting the pump.
WARNING! Tubing may contain chemicals. Wear protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses
when working with or near the pump.
WARNING! Severe pinching of fingers can occur while installing and removing the tubing. Caution
must be used to keep fingers away from rotating parts.
Tubing Removal
When facing the pump, the roller assembly spins in a clockwise direction. The inlet (suction) side is
located on the left side of the pumphead, and the outlet (discharge) is located on the right.
1. Disconnect any suction and discharge tubes from the pump tube.
2. Remove the pumphead cover.
3. With the pump running, pull the inlet (left) side of the tubing out of the pumphead channel.
Carefully guide the tube clockwise away from the rollers and pull the tube out of the pumphead.

5.2 Replacing the Tubing (Cont.)
Tubing Installation
Start with a section of tubing at least 9” in length. Once installed, this length will result in
approximately 1 1/2” extending below both sides of the pumphead for fittings and attachments.
1. With the pump running, insert tube into the channel of the inlet (suction) of the pumphead.
2. Carefully guide the tube into pumphead and through the channel of the outlet (discharge) side of
the pump head and then stop the pump (Figure 3).
3. Reinstall the pumphead cover (Figure 4).
4. Attach retention clip on the inlet (left) side of the tube just below the base of the pumphead, to
prevent tube migration during operation (Figure 5).
5.3 Pumphead Maintenance
1. Remove tubing per the Tubing Removal procedure.
2. Disconnect power to the pump.
3. Remove the pumphead cover.
4. Open the spring clip to release the rotor from the motor shaft (Figure 6).
5. Remove roller assembly by sliding it off the motor shaft.
Once disassembled, remove any particles or debris from the pumphead housing and roller
assembly. Inspect the pumphead for cracks or other damage. Ensure rollers turn freely. Be sure all
cleaning solvents are removed prior to reassembly and tube replacement.
5.4 Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect power to pump.
2. Slide out the fuse tray from the IEC socket (Figure 7).
3. Replace with one of identical size & Amperage rating.
4. Slide fuse tray back in to lock.
