Exposure to direct sunlight must be avoided. If the
pump is installed outside, provide an enclosure to
protect it against the weather. With metering pump
systems, particular attention must be paid to the
piping system. Refer to the System Design Guide
for more detailed information. (If in need of a
System Design Guide, contact Jesco America
Corporation).

It is especially important that chemical plants be
designed to ensure the safety of maintenance
people and operators. We recommend installing
relief valves, splashguards, containment tanks,
and leakage probes with alarm relays to aid this
effort.
MAGDOS DE/DX pumps with integrated level
control function are equipped with a short-circuit
jack plug which must be removed before
connecting a level control by means of a jack plug.
A weather tight cable is available if using a level
control to keep the NEMA 4x protection class.
Wiring of the MAGDOS metering pump must be
carried out by a specialist according to the local
regulations. Normally the MAGDOS is connected
with a grounded plug. Please see the MAGDOS DE/
DX Specification Sheet for all electrical data.
Mounting the metering pump directly on a water
meter may result in noise level amplification. In
this case, we recommend that you mount the
pump on separate wall brackets which, for the
same reason, should be fixed to outer walls
instead of interior walls with adjacent occupied
rooms. It is also possible to mount the pump
directly on the supply tank.
Do not lay signal cables of water meters or
0(4)...20 mA controls parallel to high-voltage
current or power supply lines. Supply and signal
lines must be laid in separate channels. In the
case of junctions, a 90Þ angle is required. If the
water meter control cable is more than 6 feet long,
it must be shielded. To avoid incorrect metering
after the process is finished, provide an electric
and hydraulic interlocking system.

3. Safety Precautions
The diaphragm metering pump is designed to
pump various liquids into pressurized systems. By
nature, the application of these pumps may
present circumstances under which personal
hazards can exist. All personnel who may have
occasion to install, operate, or maintain these
pumps should be provided with the opportunity to
read this instruction manual and be familiar with
its contents. Awareness of potential hazards can
prevent accidents and injury.

Danger from Liquids Handled
All systems containing liquid and/or air under
pressure present the potential for unexpected
discharge of liquid in a violent manner. In
operation and servicing of the pump, all parts of
the pump and attached piping which contain liquid
should be treated cautiously, until it is known with
certainty that they have been depressurized and
drained.
Danger from Electrical HazardDanger from Electrical Hazard

Danger from Electrical Hazard
Since these pumps include electric components,
the hazard of electrical shock can exist.
Installation and wiring of electrical components
should be in accordance with the applicable
codes.

To avoid personal injury, please adhere to the
following guidelines:
1. Do not operate the pump if electrical compo-
nent enclosures are not in place.
2. When venting cylinders or piping during startup,
liquid will be discharged under pressure. The
use of a pressure relief valve back to the
supply tank is highly recommended. Suitable
caution should be taken to avoid contact with
the liquid and to avoid spillage or spraying of
liquid.
3. Clean up any leaked or spilled liquid immedi-
ately.
