10 Precautions for use
• Electrical work should be performed by a qualied electri-
cian. Otherwise, personal injury or property damage could
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 0-40ºC.
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 not installed level, output may be
affected.
• When two or more pumps are installed together, vibration
may be signi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 suction installation is strongly
recommended.

Overview
Introduction
Pump characteristics, features and part names are described
in this section.
Introduction
Pump structure & Operating principle
The EJ series is a diaphragm metering pump which consists of a pump head
and a drive unit with a built-in controller. A diaphragm is directly driven by elec-
tromagnetic force.
Principle of operation
The pulse signal via the PCB generates the electromagnetic force to make
reciprocating motion with the assistance of the spring force. 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.
