1. Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Metering Pumps “TMS DC” (TMSA DC self-venting model) Series are the ideal solution for low / middle dosing of chemicals.
All control and setup parameters are available through a digital keyboard and they are displayed on a LCD backlit display. Pump has got:
“Standby” input, “LEVEL” input and “Alarm” (contact) output.
Note: some functions described into this manual may need accessories not included into the pump packaging.
1.2 Pump’s capacity
Flow rate is determined by the stroke length and by the stroke speed.
1. 3 Working modes
Pump can work in CONSTANT mode.
CONSTANT mode.
Pump doses at a constant rate set in “SPH” (strokes for hour), “SPM” (strokes for
minute) or “LPH” (litres per hour) parameters set during program session.

Pump’s installation and operativity is made in 4 main steps:
Pump’s installation
Hydraulic Installation (hoses, level probe, injection valve)
Electrical Installation (main power connection, priming)
Programming the pump.
Before to start, please read carefully the following safety information.
Protective clothes
Wear always protective clothes as masks, gloves, safety glasses and
further security devices during ALL installation procedure and while
handling chemicals.
Installation location
Pump must be installed in a safety place and fixed to the table / wall to
avoid vibration problems!
Pump must be installed in a easy accessible place!
Pump must be installed in vertical position!
Avoid water splashes and direct sun!
Hoses and Valves
Suction and delivery hoses must be installed in vertical position!
All hoses connections must be performed using only hands’ force!
No tongs required!
Delivery hose must be firmly fixed to avoid suddenly movements
that could damage near objects!
Suction hose must be shorter as possible and installed in vertical
position to avoid air bubbles suction!
Use only hoses compatibles with product to dose! See chemical
compatibility table. If dosing product is not listed please
consult full compatibility table or contact chemical’s manufacturer!
4. Before to Install warnings
Feeder should be interlocked with a no-flow protection device to automatically shut-off the
pumps when there is no flow!
Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent cross connection of chemicals!
Chemical feeding must be stopped during backwash cycles and periods of noflow as these con-
ditions may introduce the potential for chemical overdosing. Not doing so may result in elevated
chemical concentrations and hazerdous gas introduction into the pool or spa.

7
Pump must be installed in a wall support at a maximum height (from tank’s bottom) of 1,5 meters.

7.1 Self-venting pump head.
Self-venting pump head must be used when using chemicals that produce
gas (i.e. hydrogen peroxide, ammonium, sodium hypoclorite at particular conditions).
Hoses assembling procedure (including purge hose) is described in fig. (A).
Notes:
- suction, delivery and purge valves are DIFFERENT! Do not exchange them!
- delivery and purge hoses are made of same material!
- it’s allowed to lightly bend discharge hose!
- during calibration procedure (“TEST”) insert discharge hose into BECKER
test-tube!

All electrical connections must be performed by AUTHORIZED AND QUALIFIED personnel only.
Before to proceed, please, verify the following steps:
- verify that pump’s label values are compatible with main power supply.
- pump must be connected to a plant with a differential switch (0,03A
sensitivity) if there isn’t a good ground.
- to avoid damages to the pump do not install it in parallel with heavy
inductance load (for example: engines). A relay switch must be used. See
below picture.

Once verified previous steps proceed as follows:
- check that “BNC” of level probe has been connected as described in “Hydraulic
Installation” chapter.
- connect alarm and/or stand-by signal as described below fig (D):

Saving / Discarding changes / Activating working mode
Once edited data into setup menu it’s possible to save them by pressing “E” key or to discard them by pressing “ESC” key.
To activate the working mode (Constant) select the required mode and confirm it using “E” key.
Turning on and off the pump
“ESC” key has a double function. It can be used to discard all changes made into setup mode or to turn on/off the pump. To
turn on/off the pump press and keep pressed this key while in main screen (fig.3). The pumps will show:
To return into operating mode press “ESC” key.
Alarm output logical working.
The pump has an “Alarm” output that changes its status (from N.O. to N.C. or viceversa) when a signal is received from “LEVEL”
and/or “SEFL” and/or “STAND-BY”. To set this alarm refer to related chapter.
Full menu / Short Menu mode
When entering into SETUP display shows access mode menu:
If this is the first time into SETUP menu then the pump will automatically set itself into “FULL” menu mode as shown in fig. A.
Just press “E” key to confirm. This mode will show all pump functions and working modes.
Next time the SETUP menu will be reached it will possible to operate with “SHORT” menu configuration to change only selected
mode parameters as shown in fig. B. Press “E” to confirm.
Note: “SHORT” menu option is not available during first time into SETUP menu or after a reset.

the pump will show the “Delay” (pump’s activation delay) as shown fig.2:
Press any key to skip the “Delay”. Pump will show “Srokes” (actual strokes) as shown in fig.3:
In any working mode, if a SEFL is installed and enabled (see SEFL Setup procedure), the display will show the icon (asterisk
as in fig. 4):
- if SEFL works correctly, the asterisk blinks to any pulses given by the solenoid;
- if the asterisk does not appear, there is an anomaly (i.e.: hoses and/or valves are obstructed, SEFL in not connected, etc.).
Press and keep pressed the “RIGHT” key to enter into priming mode. Pump will go for 30 seconds into priming mode as shown
in fig.5.
When the chemical begins to flow out from the outgassing hose then completely close the outgassing knob (except for self-
venting pump heads). This ends the priming procedure. If countdown for priming is not yet ended press “ESC” key.
Now the pump is operative. Proceed to setup and programming.
