1.0 Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the A-100N Peristaltic Metering Pump. The
A-100N is designed to inject chemicals into piping systems. The pump has
been tested by NSF International for use with 12 ½% Sodium Hypochlorite.
This manual covers the following feed rate adjustment mechanisms:

1. Fixed Cycle Timer - (Models A-100NA, A-100NC, A-100NS) The
fixed speed pumping mechanism is turned on and off by an electronic timer.
The total cycle time is factory set. The on-time cycle is adjustable from 5%
through 100% of the total cycle time. Model A-100NA has a 1 minute cycle
with a 60 second adjustable on-time. Model A-100NC has a 5 second cycle
with a 5 second adjustable on-time. Model A-100NS (ideal for spa and hot
tub chlorination) has a 1 minute cycle with a 6 second adjustable on-time.
(Custom cycles are available from the factory).

2. Variable Speed Controller - (Model A-100NF) The speed of the
pumping mechanism is adjustable from 5% through 100%.

3. Fixed Feed Rate - (Model A-100NX) No adjustment control.

5.0 Installation

Note: All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult
an expert before installing the pump into specialized systems. The pump
should be serviced by qualified persons only.

5.1 Mounting Location

Choose an area located near the chemical supply tank, chemical injection
point and electrical supply. Although the pump is designed to withstand
outdoor conditions, a cool, dry, well ventilated location is recommended.
Install the pump where it can be easily serviced.

!

Mount the pump to a secure surface or wall using the enclosed hardware.
Wall mount to a solid surface only. Mounting to drywall with anchors is not
recommended.

!

Mount the pump close to the injection point. Keep the outlet (discharge)
tubing as short as possible. Longer tubing increases the back pressure at the
pump tube.

!

Your solution tank should be sturdy. Keep the tank covered to reduce
fumes. Do not mount the pump directly over your tank. Chemical fumes
may damage the unit. Mount the pump off to the side or at a lower level
than the chemical container.

!

Mounting the pump lower than the chemical container will gravity feed the
chemical into the pump. This “flooded suction” installation will reduce
output error due to increased suction lift. You must install a shut-off valve,
pinch clamp or other means to halt the gravity feed to the pump during
servicing.

!

Be sure your installation does not constitute a cross connection with the

LIQUID-TIGHT CONNECTOR

5.2 Optional circuit board signal connection installation - The

pump includes three optional external signal connections:

!

!

!

FVS - FLOW VERIFICATION SENSOR INPUT
Accepts a pulse signal from an optional Blue-White sensor confirming that
fluid is passing through the pump. Triggers and alarm output if fluid is not
detected.
AL - ALARM OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT
The output (purple wire) sinks to DC ground when an alarm condition
exists. 6-30Vdc collector voltage. 50mAdc maximum sinking current.
MA - MOTOR ACTIVE OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT
The output (brown wire) sinks to DC ground when the motor is de­energized. 6-30Vdc collector voltage. 50mAdc maximum sinking current.

All signal wires must be connected to the circuit board, located inside the
pump enclosure, using connector plug wiring assemblies. A liquid-tight
connector must be installed in the pump enclosure wall and the signal wires
passed through the liquid-tight connector and secured. See pages 8 & 9 for
wiring details.

1. Remove the rear enclosure panel.

2. Remove knock-out using a screwdriver.

3. Trim edge with a knife and remove sharp edges.

4. Install the provided liquid-tight connector.

5. Connect the connector plug to the circuit board.
