1. Unpacking & Inspection
On unpacking the product, check the following points. If you find any problems, contact your near-
est distributor.
1. Check the information on nameplate (model code, flow rate, head and voltage) to see if the product is
delivered as per order.
2. Check for transit damage, deformation and loose bolts.
2. Product outline
The Hicera pump is a metering pump with ceramic wet ends such as a plunger, a cylinder and other
related parts.
The plunger reciprocates and rotates in the cylinder where liquid is taken in from a suction line and
then delivered to a discharge line.
1. The rotating plunger contracts to take in liquid
into the cylinder from a suction line as the duct on
the plunger passes the inlet.
2. The rotating plunger extends to let out liquid from
the cylinder to a discharge line as the duct on the
plunger passes the outlet.

1. Before installation
1. Do not run pump dry (except for the start-up dry
running to fill the pump head with liquid.)
Friction heat builds up in the pump head during
dry running and the plunger seizes in the cylin-
der.
2. Do not close valves
Closed-discharge operation causes a sharp
pressure rise and may result in pump failure or
motor burning out. Be sure to open a suction line
and a discharge line before operation.
3. Degassing
Fully open a discharge line and set the pump
head angle to 20º(the maximum stroke length).
Run the pump in this condition to expel air from
the pump and tubing.
4. Temperature influence
A flow rate, liquid viscosity, vapour pressure and
corrosion resistance changes with liquid tem-
perature.
CAUTION:
The allowable liquid temperature range is
0-80ºC. Apply heat-resistant grease to the
motor bearing or use a cooling fan to cool
down motor temperature when liquid tem-
perature exceeds 65ºC.
5. Viscous liquid
The pump is capable of handling liquid up to
20,000 cP, but then keep pump rotation speed
lower as viscosity gets higher, especially when
liquid viscosity is 500 cP or more. Contact us for
detail.

6. Precipitation or Crystallization
Flush out liquid that has property of precipitation
or crystallization from the pump head.
CAUTION
If the pump is left before flushing, the
plunger may be stuck in the cylinder. In this
case the pump does not start to run.
7. Operating conditions
Do not cover the motor tight. Avoid areas where
ambient temperature exceeds 40ºC or ambient
humidity exceeds 85% RH. Do not wet the pump,
or an electrical leak or a fire may result.
8. Earthing
Be sure to earth the pump. Install an earth leak-
age breaker as necessary.
CAUTION
If an earth leakage breaker has worked to
open a circuit, turn off a main power-supply
switch. Always determine a root cause and
solve problems before resuming operation.
9. Take preventative measures for fire and dust
CAUTION
Do not place a dangerous or a flamma-
ble substance near the pump. Protect the
motor from dust.

2. Installation/Piping/Wiring
■ Installation
1. Select an installation location where is con-
venient for maintenance. Ambient temperature
should not exceed 40ºC or falls below 0ºC.
Observe the maximum ambient humidity of
85%RH. Do not install the pump out of doors.
CAUTION
When installing the pump, be careful not
to impact the pump. A strong impact may
adversely affect pump performance.
The pump can be mounted either verti-
cally or horizontally. A flow direction can be
reversed by inverting motor rotation.
2. The maximum suction lift is 4 meters based on
operation with clean water and changes accord-
ing to liquid characteristics.
3. Fix the pump with M5 screws. Place a rubber
plate beneath the pump base to reduce noise or
oscillation as necessary.

■ Plumbing
1. Have tubing length shortest with the minimum
number of bends in order to reduce pipe resist-
ance.
2. The inlet and outlet ports should be completely
sealed for the prevention of air ingress into a flow
line. Especially, an imperfect suction line connec-
tion entrains air and reduces performance.
3. Select tubes in accordance with an inlet and an
outlet bore.
A tube should be resistant to both the specified
pressure and the specified liquid.
■ Wiring
Check power-supply voltage and the rated voltage
of the pump motor before wiring. Observe an appli-
cable electric code.
■ Earthing
Remove one of fitting screws on the motor mount-
ing flange and the paint under the screw for con-
necting an earth wire.

1. Operation
Do not run pump dry or run it with a discharge valve or a suction valve closed.
■Starting process
Operate the pump according to the following procedure after installation, tubing and wiring of pump.
No. Points to be checked Procedure
1
Tubing, wiring and voltage ● See "■ Plumbing" and "■ Wiring" sections.
● Check the spec label to see if the power supply voltage is
correct.
2 A discharge and a suction line. ● Fully open both suction and discharge valves.
3
Rotational direction ● Check if the direction of rotation is correct.
Prime the pump and run the motor for just a moment to
check a flow direction.
● Counter clockwise (CCW)
CCW rotation seen from the
motor end. Liquid flows in the
direction of "a".
● Clockwise (CW)
CW rotation seen from the
motor end. Liquid flows in the
direction of "b".
4
Starting ● Run the pump for a while and check liquid flows without a
hitch. Upon finding abnormality, turn off power and solve the
cause of abnormality. Refer to "Troubleshooting" section.
5
Operation ● Make sure air has been expelled from the pump and a tub-
ing system completely. If not, an accurate flow rate can not
be obtained. Angle the pump head to 20º and run the pump
until air is expelled completely. After air is all eliminated,
adjust discharge pressure to a specified level.
● Flow rate can be adjusted from 0 to the maximum by chang-
ing the pump head angle.
6
Points to be checked during
operation
● Do not allow foreign matters to enter the pump. Foreign mat-
ters may cause the plunger to be locked or damaged, hin-
dering a liquid circulation.
Install a dampener to reduce pulsation as necessary. Contact for us for detail.
■Stoppage
No. Points to be checked Procedure
1
Wet ends ● Flush the pump head with clean water after operation with
sticky or settling liquid. Dismantle the pump head for clean-
ing as necessary.
2Before a long period of stoppage ● Drain liquid from the pump head and dismantle it for clean-
ing before a long period of stoppage.
