water flow when you install your
injector.
The model DD has 1-1/4" NPT pipe connections.
The model DB has 1" NPT pipe connections.
You can adapt to other pipe sizes i needed We
recommend that the injector be installed in a
bypass to allow you to service it i the need
arises.
The check valve(s) have a yellow
arrow stamped on them. These
arrows must point up when
installed.
Re er to the the typical installation drawing
(Page 4) and parts breakdown or your model
or proper installation o chemical check valves
and tubing.
●Install the valve module or chemical
check valves on the plastic pumphead.
●The oot valve or priming stick goes into
the chemical tank.
●Connect a length o plastic tubing rom
the chemical tank to the lower hose barb
or the lower check valve.
●Connect a short piece o tubing rom the
discharge valve or upper hose barb to
the injection point itting (IPF).
●C o n n e c t t h e 3 / 4 " r e d h o s e t o
t h e hose barb on the bottom o the pilot
valve. There will be waste water emitted
rom this hose during the pumping cycle.
The volume discharged will be
approximately three times that o
chemical pumped. The wa t e r th a t i s
em i tte d i s c l ea r, untreated water.
This hose must vent to atmosphere
and cannot be elevated or restricted.
Initial System Check
Use a power surge protector to
help prevent electrical surges
from damaging the unit. Power
surges lightning and other
“acts of God” are not covered under the
warranty.
The injector uses 12VDC power
to operate. Do not run 120VAC
directly into the unit. Always
use the supplied transformer
when possible. Once you have applied
power we are ready for the initial system
check.
●Apply power to your injector.
●Watch the lighted indicators located in
the cover.
●The power light(red) should be on
constantly.
●The low light(yellow) should lash when
there is water lowing.
●The cycle light(green) lashes when the
injector makes a pumping cycle
(depending on the volume o water low,
it may take several seconds or this light
to lash).
●I the lights are not operating correctly,
immediately unplug the unit and call
your distributor or H.E. Anderson Co. to
report the problem.

Optional Flow Totalizer
The low totalizer (optional) is a resettable
counter or accumulating the water low and is
equipped with a 10 year battery to retain
memory. The meter will accumulate low even i
injection is turned o .
The PRIME ON/OFF Switch
This button (see photo above) allows you to turn
o the injection o chemical, but still record the
low i you have the optional counter/totalizer.
●To turn the injection OFF, press
the button. Injection will stop.
●To turn the injection ON, press the
button. The valve light will lash and the
injector will make the irst pumping
stroke.
●When priming the injector, you can
make repetitive pumping strokes by
pressing the PRIME ON/OFF switch
OFF and ON. Be sure to leave the unit
on a ter priming.
NOTE: Priming is quicker and easier at a dial
setting of 10.
You must have at least 30 psi of
back pressure in order for the
system to operate correctly.
Setting the Pumper
At a dial setting o 10, the eed ratio will be that
shown on the control panel. (See Photo 1.) That
is the maximum eed or your unit. I you wish to
eed less, the eed dial may be set to a lower
setting.
Example: I your injector chemical:water eed
ratio at 10 is 1:200, at a setting o 5 it will eed
hal as much, which corresponds to a
chemical:water eed ratio o 1:400.
Once your injector is set, it is ully operational.
Maintenance & Storage
Servicing the Pumper
Your injector normally requires very little
maintenance.
For servicing and calibrating your pumper and
chemical valves, re er to the separate pumper
and pumper calibration manuals supplied with
your unit. For pilot valve problems re er to the
separate pilot valve manual. I you are unable to
locate them, they are all available on our
website at http://heanderson.com/manuals.php.

damaged if allowed to freeze.
Freeze damage is not covered
under warranty.
You should take the necessary precautions to
protect the injector rom reezing.
●I you remove your injector rom the line
