Meteringpumpsareproducedaccordingtohighest
quality standards and have a long service life.
Nevertheless some parts are subject to wear (e.g
diaphragm,valveseats,valveballs).Toensurelong
operating life, visual checks are required regularly.

Always use appropriate tools for the installation of
plastic connecting parts. In order to avoid damage,
neverapplyexcessiveforce;plasticparts(especially
PVC parts) can be screwed and unscrewed more
easily if the thread is lubricated with vaseline or
siliconegreasebefore.
Note: For this purpose, the compatibility with the
chemical to be metered must be checked.
MAGDOS metering pumps with integrated level
controlfunctionareequippedwithashort-circuitjack
plug which must be removed before connecting a
level control by means of a jack plug. To keep the
protection class, screw a PG plastic sleeve on the
jackplug.TherequiredPGsleeveispartofthelevel
control (also in combination with a suction line).
Mounting the metering pump directly on the water
metermay result in noise levelamplification.Inthis
case, it is recommended to mount the pump on
separatewall brackets which,forthe same reason,
shouldbefixedtoouterwallsinsteadofinteriorwalls
with adjacent occupied rooms. It is also possible to
mount the pump directly on the metering supply
tank.
Ambient temperatures exceeding 40°C are not
permitted. Radiant heat of apparatus and heat
exchangersmustbekeptinlimitsallowingthepump
to sufficiently dissipate its own heat. Exposure to

plastic material can be damaged. If the pump is
installed outside, provide an enclosure to protect it
againstweather.
Wiring of the MAGDOS metering pump must be
carried out by a specialist according to the local
regulations. Normally the MAGDOS is connected
withasafetyplug.TheelectricaldataforallMAGDOS

3. Installation
Forselectionofapumpduringconstructionofaplant
as well as for installation and operation, the local
rulesmustbeobserved.Thisappliestotheselection
of suitable pump materials, the handling of the
chemicals and the electrical installation. At the
same time the technical data of the metering pump
according to table 12 must be considered, and the
plantmustbedesignedcorrespondingly(e.g.pressure
loss in lines depending on nominal diameter and
length).
Both, the designer and the user are responsible to
make sure that the whole plant including the mete-
ring pump is constructed so that neither plant
equipmentnorbuildingsareseverelydamagedinthe
case of chemical leakage due to the failure of wear
parts(e.g.diaphragmrupture)orbursttubing.When
constructing chemical plants, the installation must
be carried out so that no consequential damages
appear which are unreasonably high even if the
