• Danger of projection of pump parts during disassembly, due to residual internal pressures (anomalous) in the pneu-
matic circuit of the pump;
• Danger of rupture of diaphragms in the absence of Scheduled Maintenance.
Those designing the machine/system in which the SCUBIC and SBOXER series Pneumatic Pumps will be installed
must consider the residual risk indicated in each operational phase and must take the necessary safety integration
measures provided by the applicable directives, before commissioning. It is forbidden to commission the pump
before the Machine in which it will be incorporated has been declared compliant with Directive 2006/42/EC
and any further applicable specic Regulations and/or Directives.
Whoever works in these areas and deals with these operational phases must be a trained person and aware that
theremaystillbe“residualrisks”(relatedtothetypeofuidusedandthechemicalcompatibility)thatitwasnot
possible to eliminate.
Those in charge of these operations must always take into account (consult and understand) all the information
contained in the Manufacturer’s Manual (Original Instructions or Translation of Original Instructions) and obtain the
necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided, before servicing.
TheCustomer,theInstallationandMaintenanceTechnicians,theQualiedOperatorsareresponsibleforarranging
allthenecessarymeasuressothataccessnearthepumpisreservedandlimitedtotrainedandqualiedperson-
nel and providing adequate information and reports of any residual risk on the machine/system in which it will be
installed, in compliance with current safety laws.
Sinceanendlessvarietyofproductsandchemicalcompositionsoftheuidsexists,theuserispresumedtohavethe
best knowledge of their compatibility and chemical reaction with the pump’s construction materials. The purchaser
is strictly responsible for selecting the construction materials compatible with the uid(s) with which the
pump components come into contact.
The user can contact the Manufacturer or the Distributor for suggestions in relation to the construction materials
that offer the best chemical compatibility, however, neither the Manufacturer nor the Distributor will be held liable for
damage (malfunction, structural ageing, leakage or indirect damage) attributable to chemical incompatibility reac-
tionsbetweenthepumpmaterialsandtheuidsthatcomeintocontactwiththem.

Chapter / 2 - Introductory Information
2.5 PUMP DESCRIPTION
2.5.1 FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES
Thepneumatic pumps of the SCUBIC and SBOXER series consist of an internal insert that directs air to the
diaphragms of the two pumping bodies by moving them via a central pin. The diaphragms integral with
the central driving pin are operated with alternating motion in two stages (suction-delivery) and constitute
the pumping elements.
The respective uid retaining ball valves are housed between the two pumping chambers and the pump
delivery and suction ducts.
The two-stage operating principle operates simultaneously (while one chamber is in the suction phase, the
second chamber is in the discharge phase), guaranteeing negative suction, high head and the pumping of
uids with high viscosity and solid parts in suspension (see 2.6 CHARACTERISTICS TECHNICAL DATA).
2.5.2 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS AND FEATURES
SCUBIC and SBOXER air pumps are self-priming and can run dry and allow varying the operating speed
even during service.
They can be used for the recirculation and pumping of liquids with high viscosity and solid parts in
suspension (see 2.6 TECHNICAL FEATURES).
Their operation is envisioned for horizontal installations,
above and below head, with precautions compliant with the features of each model (see 2.6 TECHNICAL
FEATURES).
The suction and delivery pipes can be suitably sized (never smaller than the pump) to ensure minimum ow
rates and optimal performance.
2.6 INTENDED USE AND IMPROPER USES
2.6.1 INTENDED USE
The air-driven SCUBIC and SBOXER pumps have been designed and constructed to pump liquids and
aggressive liquids (acid or alkaline) with chemical composition and temperatures compatible with the
pump materials and apparent viscosity of between 1 and 20,000 Cps at 20°C (see the Technical Data
Sheet of the Pump model); viscosities higher than 20,000 Cps at 20°C result in physical factors that
require correct evaluation, therefore, it is always necessary to contact the Manufacturer’s Techni-
cal Department in advance.
The maximum temperature allowed for process uid depends on and/or is downgraded by the construction
material of the pump and system.
CAUTION
The maximum temperature limits are based on two factors, mechanical and corrosive. Some of the u-
ids used may signicantly reduce the maximum safety temperatures due to the high corrosive content.
Conformity with the ATEX marking afxed on the pump is no longer ensured when the maximum
temperature is exceeded.
2.6.2 CALCULATION OF MAXIMUM FLUID TEMPERATURE (for Zone 1 - Zone 21)
Below is the formula for determining the maximum permissible uid process temperature for SCUBIC e
SBOXER pumps in CONDUCT version: II 2G Ex h IIB T4 Gb and
II 2D Ex h IIIB T135°C Db

 PRODUCT CIRCUIT CONNECTION
After positioning, it is possible to connect the pump to the product circuit as follows:
CAUTION: risk of chemical reactions to water
Before installing the pump for use with liquids that react with tap water, it is necessary to open the product
circuit and dry all internal surfaces.
Product system piping requirements
• Theconnectionttingsmustbemade ofthesamematerialas thepumpwithcylindricalthreads(do
not use conical threads);
• Theconnectiontothepumpmustbemadewithapieceofexiblehosewithametalcore(directcon-
nection to the pump with a rigid hose is prohibited);
• Allexistinghosesmustbereinforcedwithametalcore;
• Piping must be self-supported and must not burden on the pump;
• Correctsizingofthe(suctionanddischarge)ductsforthecorrectsuctionspeed;
• Producton/offvalves(suctionanddelivery,thatdonotcausepressuredrops);
• Withparticulatematterinsuspension,installaproperlysizedsuctionstraineronthesuctionside(surface
area2.5/3timesthesuctionsectionofthepumpwithmaximumpermittedslot);
• Withproductsthatcrystallise,provideawashingorstrippingcircuit(withcompatibleproducts);
• Productductscleaninsideandwithoutsolidprocessingresidues(shavings,particulates,etc.).
 Diaphragm pumps with negative suction are affected by the following factors:
- Fluid viscosity - specic uid weight - diameter - length and/or bends on the suction.
Positionthepumpascloseaspossibletothesamplingpoint(within2.5m)andinallcasesnevermore
than 5 m. The diameter of the suction pipe should never be smaller than that of the pump connection; it
shouldbeincreasedasthedistanceorviscosityoftheuidincreases.
CAUTION:risk of premature wear and/or diaphragm breakage.
Theuidtobepumpedwithnegativesuctionmustneverexceedaviscosityof5,000Cpsat20°Canda
specicweightof1.4Kg/l.
Higher viscosities result in physical factors that require correct evaluation, therefore, it is always neces-
sary to contact the Manufacturer’s Technical Department in advance.
 SCUBIC and SBOXER series pumps are supplied with product connection seats with cylindrical Gas
threads. For connectionstothepumpmanifolds,useonlyttingswithcylindricalgasthreads(notconical)
of the same material as the pump.
Example: (PP pump = PPttings)or(INOX pump = INOX ttings).
On the delivery and discharge manifold install a manual valve of the same diameter as the pump inlet
(neversmaller)orlargerfornegativesuctionsorforuidswithhighviscosity.
If necessary, load two turns of PTFE tape on the thread and tighten the valves onto the
pumpmanifolds(withmoderateclampingpressure)untilthesealisensured.

1.6 WARRANTY
The SCUBIC and SBOXER pumps are a quality product that is recognised by the satisfaction of our cus-
tomers. However, should any defect appear, please contact the Manufacturer’s After-Sales Service, your
Dealer or the nearest Customer Service Centre where you will receive assistance as quickly as possible.
In any case, provide the following:
A. Full address;
B.Pumpidentication;
C. Explosion risk protection class;
D. Description of the detected anomaly.
All SCUBIC and SBOXER pumps are covered by the following warranty:
1. WARRANTY TERMS
The pump is guaranteed for 12 months (8 hours of operation per day) from the date of delivery (see Accom-
panying Document) for all the mechanical parts found to be defective, except for those subject to normal
wear due to operation. The warranty provides for the free repair of the pump or the supply of parts to be
replaced with defective ones, provided that the Manufacturer acknowledges the manufacturing defects.
The repair or replacement of defective parts constitutes full satisfaction of the warranty obligations.
2. SERVICE NOTIFICATION
The Purchaser must report any defect to the Manufacturer in writing within 8 days.
3. SERVICE METHODS
Any warranty service will be carried out at the Manufacturer’s workshop only after shipment or sending
of the defective pump at the Purchaser’s expense.
4. EVALUATION RESERVE
Warranty shall not be extended in case of repair or replacement.
5. EVALUATION RESERVE
Defective parts remain the property of the manufacturer when they are replaced under warranty. They
must be returned to the manufacturer, who reserves the right to inspect them in its workshop in order to
detect the real defect or, on the contrary, to identify the external reasons that may have caused the dam-
age. If the parts are found not to be defective, the Manufacturer reserves the right to invoice the full cost of
the parts that have been replaced under warranty.
Purchaser responsibility
The Manufacturer will not bear the costs and risks for the shipping or transport of the defective and/or
repaired or replaced parts, including any custom charges. The warranty DOES NOT cover any indirect
damage and, in particular, any lack of production. In addition, the warranty does not cover any normal con-
sumable materials (diaphragms, balls and ball seats, etc.). The warranty does not cover parts damaged as
a consequence of incorrect installation, carelessness, neglect, improper maintenance, or damage due to
transportation or any other reason or event that is not directly linked to operation or manufacturing defects.
Warranty and liability exclusion for chemical reactions:
Sinceanendlessvarietyofproductsandchemicalcompositionsoftheuidsexists,theuserispresumed
to have the best knowledge of their compatibility and chemical reaction with the pump’s construction
materials. The purchaser is strictly responsible for selecting the construction materials compatible
with the uid(s) with which the pump components come into contact. The user can contact the Manu-
facturer or the Distributor for suggestions in relation to the construction materials that offer the best chemical
compatibility, however, neither the Manufacturer nor the Distributor will be held liable for damage (malfunc-
tion, structural ageing, leakage or indirect damage) attributable to reactions due to chemical incompatibility
betweenthepumpmaterialsandtheuidsthatcomeintocontactwiththem.
The warranty excludes all cases of tampering, improper use or incorrect applications or non-obser-
vance of the information contained in the Manufacturer’s Original instruction manual.
Any controversy falls within the jurisdiction of the Court of Busto Arsizio (VA) ITALY.

2.4 PUMP DESCRIPTION
 FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES
Thepneumatic pumps of the SCUBIC and SBOXER series consist of an internal insert that directs air to the
diaphragms of the two pumping bodies by moving them via a central pin. The diaphragms integral with
the central driving pin are operated with alternating motion in two stages (suction-delivery) and constitute
the pumping elements.
Therespectiveuidretainingballvalvesarehousedbetweenthetwopumpingchambersandthepump
delivery and suction ducts.
The two-stage operating principle operates simultaneously (while one chamber is in the suction phase, the
second chamber is in the discharge phase), guaranteeing negative suction, high head and the pumping of
uidswithhighviscosityandsolidpartsinsuspension(see 2.6 CHARACTERISTICS TECHNICAL DATA).
 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS AND FEATURES
SCUBIC and SBOXER air pumps are self-priming and can run dry and allow varying the operating speed
even during service.
They can be used for the recirculation and pumping of liquids with high viscosity and solid parts in
suspension (see 2.6 TECHNICAL FEATURES). Their operation is envisioned for horizontal installations,
above and below head, with precautions compliant with the features of each model (see 2.6 TECHNICAL
FEATURES).
The suction and delivery pipes can be suitably sized (neversmallerthanthepump)toensureminimumow
rates and optimal performance.
2.5 INTENDED USE AND IMPROPER USES
 INTENDED USE
The air-driven SCUBIC and SBOXER pumps have been designed and constructed to pump liquids and
aggressive liquids (acid or alkaline) with chemical composition and temperatures compatible with the
pump materials and apparent viscosity of between 1 and 20,000 Cps at 20°C (see the Technical Data
Sheet of the Pump model); viscosities higher than 20,000 Cps at 20°C result in physical factors that
require correct evaluation, therefore, it is always necessary to contact the Manufacturer’s Techni-
cal Department in advance.
Themaximumtemperatureallowedforprocessuiddependsonand/orisdowngradedbytheconstruction
material of the pump and system.
CAUTION
Themaximumtemperaturelimitsarebasedontwofactors,mechanicalandcorrosive.Someoftheu-

 TEMPERATURE CLASSES FOR PUMPS TO BE INSTALLED IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT (Zone
1 and Zone M2):
The temperature class corresponding to the protection against the risk of explosion of the pumps designed
for use in Zone M2 with the presence of explosive atmospheres is T150°C.
The temperature class corresponding to the protection against the risk of explosion of the pumps designed
for use in Zone 1 with the presence of explosive atmospheres is T135°C (T4); all the data for calculating
themaximumuidtemperatureundertheoperatingconditionsareshownbelow.
NOTE
The equipment’s maximum temperature has been determined with no powder deposits on the external
and internal surfaces.
Denition of the Calculation Data (Zone 1):
T4 = ATEX temperature class 135°C;
Ta = maximum ambient temperature 40°C;
Tl = maximum temperature for dry use of the pump in the workplace (50°C);
Δs = safety factor (5°C);
Tx =calculationfactor(Tl+Δs)onlyforZone1;
Tf =maximumalloweduidprocessingtemperature.
CAUTION
InconsiderationoftheadmittedambienttemperaturevariationrangeinZone1andZoneM2,uidservice
temperature values higher than those indicated above will not permit compliance with the corresponding
temperature classes, respectively T4 (135°C) and 150°C, besides causing damage to the pump.
Where the user presumes that the temperature limits set forth on the product marking and in this
manual may be exceeded, a detection and protective device must be installed on the system to
prevent the maximum allowed temperature from being reached.
NOTE
The user must consider the ratio between the pump’s maximum surface temperature indicated on the
marking and the minimum ignition temperature of the layers and clouds of powder.
 IMPROPER USES
Any use of an SCUBIC and SBOXER pump other than that previously describedandspeciedinSection 2.7
TECHNICAL FEATURES, is to be considered improper and is therefore forbidden by DEBEM .
In particular, it is FORBIDDEN to use SCUBIC and SBOXER pumps for:
• production of vacuum;
• operation as a shut-off valve, as a check valve (non-return valve) or as a metering valve;
• pumpoperationforpumpingpowdersofalltypesandkinds(ammableandnon);
• operationwithuidsthatarechemicallyincompatiblewiththematerialsofconstruction;
• usewithsuspendedproductswithaspecicweightgreaterthanthatoftheliquid(e.g.waterwith
sand) or with solid particles larger than that indicated for each Model;
• operation with air pressures, process temperatures and/or functional characteristics that are incompatible
with theTechnicalDataofthepumpand/ortheCerticationmarkingafxed;
• pumpoperationinpotentiallyexplosiveenvironmentsthatarenotclassiedand/orcompatiblewith
the pump’s type ofexecution(seeCerticationmarkingafxedandDeclarationofConformity).
• unsuitable pump use (incorrect choice of materials and installations) to operate in the presence of stress
corrosion cracking phenomena;
• operationwithalimentaryorpharmaceuticaluids.
CAUTION
The risks associated with use of the pumps under the exact conditions set forth in the Manufacturer’s
use and maintenance manual have been analysed, whilst the analysis of the risks associated with the
interface with other system components must be carried out by the installer/user.
Use of the pump that does not comply with the Manufacturer’s Original Instructions is prohibited
and invalidates the Warranty, the safety and explosion protection requirements.

2.6 TECHNICAL FEATURES
The performance technical data of the SCUBIC and SBOXER series pumps refer to standard versions. The “MAX
Delivery” values refer to pumping of water at 20°C, with an immersed suction pipe with a head of 50 cm (see gure
1). The “Suction Capacity” values are measured with a vacuum gauge.
NOTE
Thedeclaredcapacityofdrynegativesuctionreferstotheintakeofuidswithaviscosityandspecicweight
equal to 1. The performance and duration of the pump’s membrane depend on the following factors:
• Theuid’sviscosityandspecicweight;
• The length and diameter of the suction pipe and/or presence of suction bends on the product circuit;
• Presence of abrasive solid particles.
NEGATIVE SUCTION: withuidsmaxupto5.000Cpsat20°Candamaximumspecicweightof1.4Kg/l.
BELOW HEAD SUCTION:withuidsmaxupto20.000Cpsat20°C(see Pump model).
Higher viscosities result in physical factors that require correct evaluation, therefore, it is always neces-
sary to contact the Manufacturer’s Technical Department in advance.
The following tables show the Technical Data, the maximum overall dimensions, the clamping points and the
weights; for the dimensional values and the specic technical data of the supply, see the Technical Data
Sheets of the specic model.
