personal injury or property damage may result.
• Do not install the pump:
–In a ammable atmosphere.
–In a dusty/humid place.
–In direct sunlight or wind & rain.
–Where ambient temperature can exceed 40ºC or falls below 0ºC.
Protect the pump with a cover when installing it out of doors.
• Select a level location, free from vibration, that won't hold liquid. Anchor
the pump with four M5 bolts so it doesn't vibrate. If the pump is installed
level, output may be affected.
• When two or more pumps are installed together, vibration may be signifi-
cant, resulting in poor performance or failure. Select a solid foundation
(concrete) and fasten anchor bolts securely to prevent vibration during
operation.
• Allow sufficient space around the pump for easy access and maintenance.
• Install the pump as close to the supply tank as possible.
• When handling liquids that generate gas bubbles (sodium hypochlorite or
hydrazine solution), install the pump in a cool and dark place. Flooded suc-
tion installation is strongly recommended.
• Use care handling the pump. Do not drop. An impact may affect pump
performance. Do not use a pump that has been damaged to avoid the risk
of electrical damage or shock.

ately dry off the pump if it gets wet.
• Do not close discharge line during operation. Solution may leak or tub-
ing may break. Install a relief valve to ensure safety and prevent damaged
plumbing.
• Do not remove the control unit. Note that an applicable control unit differs
with each drive unit. Do not attach a control unit to a different drive unit.
Otherwise, an electrical circuit or the drive unit may fail.
• Solution in the discharge line may be under pressure. Release the pres-
sure from the discharge line before disconnecting plumbing or disassembly
of the pump to avoid solution spray.
• Wear protective clothing when handling or working with pumps. Consult
solution MSDS for appropriate precautions. Do not come into contact with
residual solution.

Overview
Introduction
Pump characteristics, features and part names are described in this sec-
tion.
Introduction
Pump structure & Operating principle
The EHN series is a diaphragm metering pump which consists of a pump head, drive unit and control unit. A
diaphragm is directly driven by electromagnetic force.
Principle of operation
Electromagnetic force and spring force make reciprocating motion. The reciprocating motion is transferred to a
diaphragm through a plunger and then volumetric change occurs in the pump head. This action transfers liquid
along with pump head valve action.

Overview
Features
● Multivoltage operation
The EHN series is a multivoltage type (100-240VAC) and can be selected without concern for local power
voltage.
● High turndown ratio
Offers a digitally-controlled range of 1-360 (1spm resolution).
● IP rating of 66
The sealed drive unit and control unit assure IP66.
* This pump is not water resistant. Protect the pump with a cover when installing it out of doors.
● External control
External signals through an analogue and a digital input can control operation. Use the analogue input to
make proportional control and the digital input to run the pump with a multiplier or a divisor.
● Auto degassing system (Auto degassing type)
Enables gaseous liquid delivery, expelling gas to open air to prevent gas lock in the pump head.
Operational function
Manual mode
Run/stop the pump by the start/stop key. A stroke rate (MAN speed) can be changed in the range of 1-360spm
by the UP and the DOWN keys at any time during operation or stop. See page 39 for detail.

EXT mode
■ Proportional control (Analogue control : See page 39)
The pump increases/decreases a stroke rate in the range of 0-360spm in proportion to 0-20mA.
An optimal proportional line must be established beforehand based on two different operating points (P1-A1,
P2-A2). Extra attention for unexpected pump behaviour may be needed for this type of control. In the following
control line, for example, 0spm does not come at 0mA. In other cases, the pump speed may reach 360spm
before 20mA (however, the pump does not run over 360spm at any mA-spm setting.).
Conditions
a. A1 and A2 must be 20mA or below
b. P1 and P2 must be 360spm or below
c. A1 and A2 must be different mA
d. P1 and P2 must be different spm
■ Multiplier setting (Digital control : See page 41)
The pump increases/decreases a stroke rate by the external signal and the multiplier. Set a multiplier (1-999
shots) per pulse in advance of operation.
*In the digital control with a preset multiplier, the pump does not run over the MAN speed at any pulse rate.
*The pump makes one shot per pulse when a multiplier is set to 1.
Example) When the multiplier is set to 5, the pump makes ve shots per signal.
The buffer stores extra pulse signals which are entered before the scheduled shots per signal are
completed.
*Extra pulses are stored up to 255 pulses.

Overview
■ Divisor setting (Digital control : See page 43)
The pump increases/decreases a stroke rate by the external signal and the divisor. Set a divisor (1-999 pulse
rates) per shot in advance of operation.
* In the digital control with a preset divisor, the pump does not run over 360 spm at any pulse rate.
*The pump makes one shot per pulse when a divisor is set to 1.
Example) When a divisor is set to 5, the pump makes one shot every 5 signals.
■ STOP function (See 45 page)
The start/stop of the pump can be controlled by the external STOP signal.
Operation stop at the STOP signal input: "M-OF"
The pump stops while receiving the STOP signal.
*The pump resumes operation when the stop signal is released.
Operation resumption at the STOP signal input: "M-ON"
The pump runs while receiving the STOP signal.
*The pump stops operation when the stop signal is released.
■ Priming function (See page 46)
The pump runs at the maximum stroke rate while both the UP and DOWN keys are pressed. Use this function
for priming or degassing.
