1.3 Structure diagram
The dosing pump belongs to the self-priming pump, when the inlet and
outlet of the liquid gap is too large, may produce siphon or reflux phenomenon. In
order to avoid siphon and reflux phenomenon, the dosing pump should be placed
in a reasonable position, to ensure that the inlet and outlet of the height of the gap
within 0.5 meters.
The inlet tube shall be as short as possible, and the outlet tube shall be
suspended over the container.
Please carefully check the inlet and outlet tube direction is correct, must not be
reversed.

2.2.2 Introduction of connection
There are two ways for App to connect with dosing pump: Direct Connect and Auto
Connect, we recommend the way of Auto Connect.
Method
Description Advantages Disadvantages
Direct
Connect
The mobile phone
and the dosing pump
are directly
connected, not
through the third party
The connection is
simple, just select the
WiFi of the dosing pump.
You need to select the
dosing pump WiFi to
connect manually, and the
same moment the mobile
cannot access the Internet
Auto
Connect
Mobile and dosing
pumps are connected
by routers, and
routers act as
middleman
Once configured
successfully, the mobile
automatically connect to
the dosing pump through
the router
It is slightly complicated to
set up auto connect. some
routers may not support
auto connection (such as a
5G router)
Note：
a. The WiFi name of the F4 dosing pump begins with "KAMOER-F4" and the
connection password is 12345678
b. Auto Connect currently supports only 2.4G router, 5G router is not
supported
