1.0 Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the A-100NV variable speed Peristaltic Metering Pump. The A-100NV is
designed to inject chemicals into piping systems. The pump has been tested by NSF International for
use with 12 ½% Sodium Hypochlorite. The A-100NV is equipped with external input control circuitry
which allows the pumps output to be externally controlled by either a 4-20mA input signal, a 0-10V DC
input signal or a pulsed frequency input signal.

4.0 How To Install the A-100NV

Note: All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult an expert before installing
the A-100NV into specialized systems.
The A-100NV should be serviced by qualified persons only.

4.1 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.

!

Keep the outlet (discharge) tubing as short as possible. Longer tubing increases the back pressure at the
pump tube.

!

Do not mount the pump directly over your chemical container. 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 can reduce the time required to prime the pump. Install a shut-off valve,
pinch clamp or other means to halt the gravity feed to the pump during servicing.

!

Your solution tank should be sturdy. Keep the tank covered to reduce fumes.

!

Be sure your installation does not constitute a cross connection with the drinking water supply. Check
your local plumbing codes.

4.2 Electrical Connections

4.2.1 Input Power Connections -

Be certain to connect the pump to the proper supply voltage. Using the incorrect voltage will damage
the pump and may result in injury. The voltage requirement is printed on the pump serial label.

Jumper pins on the circuit board are factory preset for the correct voltage. See Fig. 4.4, page 7 for
details.

The A-100NV is supplied with a ground wire conductor and a grounding type attachment plug (power
cord). To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that the power cord is connected only to a properly
grounded, grounding type receptacle.

Note: When in doubt regarding your electrical installation, contact a licensed electrician.

4.2.2 External Input Signal Connections -

Page 6

The A-100NV will accept any one of three different types of external input signals; 4-20 mA, 0-10
VDC, or frequency. Two types of frequency inputs, AC sine waves (magnetic coils type outputs) and
Digital Square waves (Hall Effect signals, contact closures), are acceptable. A jumper plug located on
the circuit board is factory pre-set for AC sine wave signals, the jumper must be re-positioned when
digital square wave signals are being used. (See Fig. 4.4, page 7, “Hz input jumper settings”)

All wiring connections are to be made inside of the junction box located on the side of the A-100NV. A
liquid-tite connector is supplied and should be used for the external signal cable. The signal input wires
are color coded to the type of signal being used.
