but not limited to chemicals, you may experience a serious injury. Wear protective

gear (protective mask, gloves, etc.) during the pump operation.

● Turn off the power supply

Working without disconnecting the power supply cause an electrical shock. Before

engaging upon any working procedures involving the pump, make sure to turn the

power supply switch off and to stop the pump and other related devices.

● Terminate operation

When you detect or become aware of a dangerous sign or abnormal condition during

operation, terminate the operation immediately and start from the beginning again.

● For specified application only

The use of a pump in any application other than those clearly specified may result

in injury or damage to the pump. Use the pump strictly in accordance with the pump

specifications and application range.

● No remodeling

Never remodel a pump. Otherwise, a serious accident may result. Iwaki will not be

responsible for any accident or damage of any kind which is caused by the user

remodeling the pump without first obtaining permission or instructions from lwaki.

● Operating site must be free of water and humidity

CAUTION

● Spill-out accident

Protective measures should be taken against any accidental spill-out or leakage of

the operating liquid as a result of unexpected damage on the pump or the related pip-

ing.

● Qualified operators only

The pump operator and pump operation supervisor must not allow any operators who

have little or no knowledge of the pump to run and operate the pump. Pump operators

must have a sound knowledge of the pump and its operation.

● Specified power only

Do not operate the pump on voltage which is not specified on the nameplate. Failure

to do so may result in damage or fire. Only the specified power level is to be applied.

● Do not run the pump dry

Do not run the pump dry (without liquid inside the pump). Heat generated as a result

of abrasion between elements inside the pump during operation without liquid may

damage the inside of the pump.

● Do not wet or dampen

If an electric part or wiring gets wet with the liquid spilled over accidentally, a fire or

electrical shock may be caused. Install the system in a place free from liquid spillage

or leakage.

● Frequent stop and start of pump should be done by using STOP function (ON and

OFF of STOP terminal). If you can not use STOP function and are forced to operate

pump by turning OFF and ON of power source, ON and OFF of power source should

be limited to six times an hour.

● Ventilate

After unpacking the goods, check the following

points to ascertain that the product is exactly as

you ordered.

If you find anything wrong, please get in touch with

your dealer.

(1) Do the model, voltage, etc., shown on the

nameplate represent what you ordered?

(2) Has the goods been damaged in transit? Are

the bolts and nuts loose?

The EH Series electronic metering pump consists

of a pump unit, a drive unit, and a control unit. The

drive unit is an electromagnetic solenoid. When the

solenoid coil is energized by the control unit the

armature shaft moves forward due to the magnetic

force of the solenoid. The shaft is attached to a

PTFE faced diaphragm which is part of the pump

unit. The diaphragm is forced into the pump head

cavity decreasing volume and increasing pressure

which forces liquid in the pump head out though

the discharge check valves. When the solenoid

coil is de-energized, a spring returns the armature

to its starting position. This action pulls the dia-

phragm out of the head cavity increasing volume

and decreasing pressure. Atmospheric pressure

then pushes liquid from the supply tank through

the suction check valves to refill the pump head.

Operation

• Analog input operation (0 - 20 mA)

0 - 360 spm operation in proportion to 0 - 20 mA current input. Pump is fixed at 360 spm when came the

input signal exceeding 360 spm.

Straight line is automatically made by setting two points. So, the pump may not come to 0 spm even if 0 mA

current comes.

Straight line is drawn automatically by setting two points.

0 mA is not always 0 spm. It depends on set point. It is possible that 0 mA or 20 mA does not make 0 spm

or 20 mA respectively because of the error of electronics parts. In this case adjust it by setting value.
