3.4 Principles
nBefore delivery, the manufacturer inspected the dosing pump and
operated it under specific conditions (with a specific dosing medium
with a specific density and temperature, with specific pipe dimen-
sions, etc.) Since these conditions differ at every location of usage,
the delivery capacity of the dosing pump should be measured by
gauging it at the operating company's installation. For details on the
approximate values and the capacity of the dosing pump, refer to the
chapter 15 “Delivery characteristic curves“ on page 40.
nComply with the information regarding the operating and environmen-
tal conditions (see chapter 5 “Technical data“ on page 13).
nAny restrictions regarding the viscosity, temperature and density of
dosing media must be followed. You must only use dosing media at
temperatures above freezing point or below the boiling point of the
respective medium.
nThe materials of the dosing pump and hydraulic parts of the system
must be suitable for the dosing medium that is used. In this connec-
tion, note that the resistance of these components can change in
dependence on the temperature of the media and the operating
pressure.
i
Information on the suitability of materials combined with
different dosing media can be found in the Compatibility Chart
of Neptune.
The information in this resistance list is based on information
from the material manufacturers and on expertise obtained by
Neptune from handling the materials.
As the durability of the materials depends on many factors,
this list only constitutes initial guidance on selecting material.
In all cases, test the equipment with the chemicals you use
under operating conditions.
nThe dosing pump is not intended for outdoor use unless appropriate
protective measures have been taken.
nAvoid leaks of liquids and dust into the casing and avoid direct
exposure to sunlight.
nYou must never operate dosing pumps in a potentially explosive
atmosphere if they do not have corresponding nameplates or an
appropriate EU Declaration of Conformity for potentially explosive
atmospheres.
3.5 Prohibited dosing media
The dosing pump must not be used for these media and substances:
nGaseous media,
nradioactive media,

4.4 Function description
Dosing pumps are positive displacement pumps. They are used if
precisely defined delivery of a medium is necessary.A constant volume
per stroke or time is delivered.
The system delivers or meters the dosing medium by means of a
repeated sequence of suction strokes followed by pressure strokes. This
results in a pulsing flow.
If the dosing pump is in the suction stroke phase, the diaphragm is pulled
into the rear final position. Due to the resulting vacuum in the dosing
head, the discharge valve closes, the suction valve opens and dosing
medium flows from the suction line into the dosing head.
If the dosing pump is in the pressure stroke phase, the diaphragm is
moved into the front final position. Due to the pressure in the dosing head,
the suction valve closes and the dosing medium flows through the
discharge valve from the dosing head into the pressurised pipe.

Stepper motor-driven diaphragm dosing pump NXP-M and NXP-P Operating instructions
4.6 Conveying characteristics
The design of the dosing pump enables it to perform the pressure and suction stroke at different speeds. For low supply rates, for example, the dosing
pump performs the suction stroke at the maximum speed and adjusts the speed of the pressure stroke to match the desired supply rate.This produces
a constant supply stream, which gives you a low-pulsation, smooth dosing.

7 Installing the Dosing Pump
DANGER
Mortal danger from electric shock!
Electrically conductive liquid can enter pump housings, cable screw
connections and mains connectors.
ðMake sure that all protective measures comply at least with the
requirements of protection class IP65.
ðAlways set up the dosing pump such that water cannot enter the
housing.
CAUTION
Danger of personal injury and material damage!
A dosing pump that is difficult to access represents a danger due to
incorrect operation and faulty maintenance.
ðInstall the dosing pump such that it is accessible at all times.
Especially the oil level glass, the oil inlet and the oil drain.
7.1 Set up information
When installing, follow the basic principles below:
nThe valves must be vertical: Discharge valve at top, suction valve at
bottom. in this connection, pay attention to the arrow on the dosing
head. The dosing head must be aligned such that the arrow points
vertically upwards.
nYou should install the dosing pump at a convenient height for
operation.
nIt must not be installed under the ceiling.
nThe frame of foundation for fixing the dosing pump must not be
subjected to jolts. The pump must be vibration-free and stable.
nThere must be enough free space in the area of the dosing head and
the suction and discharge valves for these parts to be easily
dismantled if required. The entire space requirement for installation
and maintenance is approximately 1 m².
nThe distance from the sides of the dosing pump to the wall or other
dosing pumps or equipment must be at least 3 cm. There must be a
guaranteed flow of circulating air.
nThe maximum ambient temperature must be complied with, see
chapter 5.2 “Operating conditions and limits“ on page 13. If
necessary, radiant heat from surrounding equipment must be
screened.
nAvoid exposure to direct sunlight.
nThe dosing pump is not intended for use out of doors unless
appropriate protective measures have been taken to prevent dust and
water from entering the housing.
nFor the dimensions of the fastening holes, refer to chapter 6
“Dimensions“ on page 15.
nThe tightening torque for the fastening bolts is 1.5 – 2 Nm.
7.2 Installation examples
7.2.1 Installation on a wall console
Fig. 10: Installation on a wall console
To reduce the structure-borne noise, the dosing pump is bolted to the wall
bracket using rubber elements. The materials necessary for this are
included with the wall bracket.
7.2.2 Installation on the wall
Fig. 11: Installation on the wall
The dosing pump can be mounted to the floor or directly to the wall
without the need for additional elements. Turn the dosing head appropri-
ately to ensure the flow direction of the medium through the dosing head.

Stepper motor-driven diaphragm dosing pump NXP-M and NXP-P Operating instructions
8 Hydraulic installations
In this chapter, you will find information about the hydraulic parts of a
system that you should install or that can install additionally. In many
cases, you must install hydraulic accessories to be able to use all the
functions that the dosing pump offers, to guarantee functional safety or to
achieve a high level of dosing precision.
WARNING
Caustic burns or other burns through dosing media!
A diaphragm rupture, blocked pressure lines or the use of material not
suitable for the dosing medium can result in the discharge of dosing
medium. Depending on the type and hazardousness of the dosing
medium, this can result in injury.
ðWear the recommended personal protective equipment.
ðMake sure that the materials you are using are suitable for the
dosing medium.
ðMake sure that the lubricants, adhesives, sealants, etc. that you
use are suitable for the dosing medium.
ðInstall a leakage drain.
ðInstall pressure relief valves.
CAUTION
Danger of personal injury and material damage!
High peak pressures can lead to piping vibrating and cause them to
snap. This can result in injury from piping or escaping dosing media.
ðInstall pulsation dampeners.
NOTE
Damage to drives due to overloading
The pressure conditions between the suction and discharge sides
must be balanced; otherwise, overloading can result. This can lead to
uncontrolled dosing processes, damage to the piping and to the
dosing pump.
ðEnsure that the pressure on the discharge side is at least 15 psig
than on the suction side.
NOTE
Locking of threads
Stainless steel and plastic parts (particularly those made of PVC) that
are bolted together in a detachable connection (e.g. the dosing head
and the valves) can lock. This makes them difficult to release.
ðBefore bolting, grease the corresponding parts with a lubricant
(e.g. PTFE spray). Ensure that the lubricant is compatible with the
dosing medium.
8.1 Design of the system
nThe dosing pumps technical data (see chapter 5 “Technical data“ on
page 13) must be taken into account and the plant s layout must be
set up appropriately (e.g. pressure loss when rating the lines with
regard to their nominal diameter and length).
nThe entire system and its integrated dosing pump must be designed
in such a way that an escaping dosing medium (due to the failure of
wearing parts such as the diaphragm, or burst hoses) does not lead to
permanent damage to system parts or the premises.
nThe leakage opening of the dosing head must be visible so that you
can detect a diaphragm rupture. It must be possible for the outflow
from the leakage drain to be on a free downwards gradient.
nIf you use hazardous dosing media, the installation must be designed
such that no disproportionately high consequential damages arise
due to dosing media escaping.
nTo avoid dosing errors after the end of the process, the dosing pump
must be locked hydraulically.
nTo allow you to easily inspect the pressure conditions in the system,
you should provide connections for pressure gauges close to the
suction and discharge valves.

8.2 System piping
nThe system piping must not exert any force on the connections and
valves of the dosing pump.
nThis means that steel piping should be connected to the dosing pump
by means of flexible pipe sections.
nThe nominal diameters of the pipework and the installed fittings
should be rated the same as or greater than the nominal diameters of
the dosing pump's suction and discharge valves.
nThe suction line should be kept as short as possible.
nYou should avoid intertwined hoses.
nAvoid loops, since air bubbles can collect.
8.3 Aligning the dosing head
a
b
c
Fig. 12: Aligning the dosing head
When connecting the dosing lines to the dosing pump, you must observe
the direction of through-flow (see arrow 2). The dosing head must be
aligned vertically. The alignment can be changed in 90° intervals.
The suction valve (3) must always point downwards. Accordingly, arrow
(2) and pressure valve (1) always point upwards. This is irrespective of the
positioning of the dosing head to the drive.
8.4 Hydraulic connections
8.4.1 Connecting hose clips

Under normal conditions, you only need to screw the hydraulic
connections finger-tight. However, due to the material settling,
the pre-tension of the screw connection can slacken. This
means that you must re-tighten the screw connection before
carrying out commissioning.
