Installation
Air Line
Warning
A bleed-type master air valve (B) is required in your system
to relieve air trapped between this valve and the pump.
See Fig. 2. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle un-
expectedly, which could result in serious injury, including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, injury from moving
parts, or contamination from hazardous fluids.
Caution
The pump exhaust air may contain contaminants. Ventilate
to a remote area if the contaminants could affect your fluid
supply. Read Air Exhaust Ventilation on page 6.
1. Install the air line accessories as shown in Fig. 2. Mount
these accessories on the wall or on a bracket. Be sure
the air line supplying the accessories is electrically con-
ductive.
a. The fluid pressure can be controlled in either of two
ways. To control it on the air side, install an air regu-
lator (G). To control it on the fluid side, install a fluid
regulator (J) near the pump fluid outlet (see Fig. 2).
b. Locate one bleed-type master air valve (B) close
to the pump and use it to relieve trapped air. Read
the Warning above. Locate the other master air
valve (E) upstream from all air line accessories and
use it to isolate them during cleaning and repair.
c. The air line filter (F) removes harmful dirt and
moisture from the compressed air supply.
2. Install an electrically conductive, flexible air hose (C)
between the accessories and the 1/4 npt(f) pump air
inlet. Use a minimum 1/4 in. ID air hose. Screw an air
line quick disconnect coupler (D) onto the end of the air
hose (C), and screw the mating fitting into the pump air
inlet snugly. Do not connect the coupler (D) to the fitting
yet.
Installation of Remote Pilot Airlines
1. Connect the air line to the pump as noted above.
2. Connect 1/4 OD tubing to the push type connectors (16)
on the underside of the pump.
NOTE: By replacing the push type connectors, other sizes
or types of fittings may be used. The new fittings will
require 1/8 in. npt threads.
3. Connect the other end of the tubes to the external air
signal, such as Cycleflo (PN 819.9742) or Cycleflo II
(819.9743) controllers.
NOTE: The air pressure at the connectors must be at least
30% of the air pressure to the air motor for the pump
to operate.
Fluid Suction Line
If using a conductive (acetal or polypropylene) pump, use
conductive hoses. If using a non-conductive pump,
ground the fluid system. Read Grounding on page 8.
The fluid inlet port is 1/2 in. or 3/4 in..
At inlet fluid pressures greater than 15 psi; 0.1 MPa
(1 bar), diaphragm life will be shortened.
Fluid Outlet Line
Warning
A fluid drain valve (H) is required in your system to relieve
pressure in the hose if it is plugged. See Fig. 2. The drain
valve reduces the risk of serious injury, including splashing
in the eyes or on the skin, or contamination from hazard-
ous fluids when relieving pressure. Install the valve close to
the pump fluid outlet.
1. Use electrically conductive fluid hoses (K). The pump
fluid outlet is 1/2 in. or 3/4 in. Screw the fluid fitting into
the pump outlet snugly. Do not over–tighten.
2. Install a fluid regulator (J) at the pump fluid outlet to con-
trol fluid pressure, if desired (see Fig. 2). See Air Line,
step 1a., for another method of controlling pressure.
3. Install a fluid drain valve (H) near the fluid outlet. Read
the warning above.
