Safety instructions
WARNING
Turn off power before service
Risk of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump
and related devices before service is performed.
Stop operation
If you notice any abnormal or dangerous conditions, suspend op-
eration immediately and inspect/solve problems.
Do not use the pump in any condition other than its intended purpose
The use of the pump in any conditions other than those clearly
specied may result in failure or injury. Use this product in specied
conditions only.
Do not modify the pump
Alterations to the pump carries a high degree of risk. It is not the
manufacturer's responsibility for any failure or injury resulting from
alterations to the pump.

Safety instructions
Wear protective clothing
Always wear protective clothing such as an eye protection, chemi-
cal resistant gloves, a mask and a face shield during disassembly,
assembly or maintenance work. The specic solution will dictate the
degree of protection. Refer to MSDS precautions from the solution
supplier.
Do not damage the power cable
Do not pull, knot, or crush the power cable. Damage to the power
cable could lead to a re or electrical shock if cut or broken.
Do not operate the pump in a ammable atmosphere
Do not place explosive or ammable material near the pump.

CAUTION
Qualied personnel only
The pump should be handled or operated by qualied personnel with a
full understanding of the pump. Any person not familiar with the prod-
uct should not take part in the operation or maintenance of the pump.
Use specied power only
Do not apply power other than that specied on the nameplate. Other-
wise, failure or re may result. Ensure the pump is properly grounded.
Do not run pump dry
Do not run pump dry for more than 30 minutes (even when the
pump runs for degassing). Otherwise, the pump head xing screws
may loosen and liquid may leak. Optimise your system. If the pump
runs dry for a long period (for more than 30 minutes), the pump
head and the valve cases may deform by friction heat and conse-
quently leakage results.
Requirement
Prohibited
Caution
Keep electric parts and wiring dry
Risk of re or electric shock. Install the pump where it can be kept dry.
Ventilation
Fumes or vapours can be hazardous with certain solutions. Ensure
proper ventilation at the operation site.
Do not install /store the pump:
• In a ammable atmosphere or a dusty/humid environment.
• Where ambient temperature can exceed 0-40ºC.
• In direct sunlight or wind & rain.
Spill precautions
Ensure protection and containment of solution in the event of
plumbing or pump damage (secondary containment).

Requirement
Do not use the pump in a wet location
The pump is not waterproof. Use of the pump in wet or extremely
humid locations could lead to electric shock or short circuit.
Grounding
Risk of electrical shock! Always properly ground the pump. Con-
form to local electric codes.
Install a GFCI (earth leakage breaker)
An electrical failure of the pump may adversely affect other de-
vices on the same line. Purchase and install a GFCI (earth leakage
breaker) separately.
Preventative maintenance
Follow instructions in this manual for replacement of wear parts. Do
not disassemble the pump beyond the extent of the instructions.

Safety instructions
Do not use a damaged pump
Use of a damaged pump could lead to an electric shock or death.
Disposal of a used pump
Dispose of any used or damaged pump in accordance with local
rules and regulations. If necessary, consult a licensed industrial
waste disposal company.
Check pump head bolts
Liquid may leak if any of the pump head bolts become loose.
Tighten the bolts diagonally and evenly by 2.16N•m before initial
operation and at regular intervals.
Install a relief valve
Install a relief valve on a discharge line near the pump so as to
release the discharge pressure when it exceeds the maximum level.

Precautions for use
• Electrical work should be performed by a qualied electri-
cian. Otherwise, personal injury or property damage could
result.
• Do not install the pump:
–In a ammable atmosphere.
–In a dusty/humid place.
–In direct sunlight or wind & rain.
– Where ambient temperature can exceed 0-40ºC.
Protect the pump with a cover when installing it out of
doors.
• Select a level location, free from vibration, that won't hold
liquid. Anchor the pump with four M5 bolts so it doesn't
vibrate. If the pump is not installed level, output may be
affected.
Caution
• When two or more pumps are installed together, vibration
may be signicant, resulting in poor performance or failure.
Select a solid foundation (concrete) and fasten anchor bolts
securely to prevent vibration during operation.
• Allow sufficient space around the pump for easy access
and maintenance.
• Install the pump as close to the supply tank as possible.
• When handling liquids that generate gas bubbles (sodium
hypochlorite or hydrazine solution), install the pump in a
cool and dark place. Flooded suction installation is strongly
recommended.

Caution
Caution
• Use care handling the pump. Do not drop. An impact may
affect pump performance. Do not use a pump that has
been damaged to avoid the risk of electrical damage or
shock.
• The pump has a rating of IP65 equivalent, but is not water-
proof. Do not operate the pump while wet with solution or
water. Failure or injury may result. Immediately dry off the
pump if it gets wet.
• Do not close discharge line during operation. Solution may
leak or piping may break. Install a relief valve to ensure
safety and prevent damaged plumbing.
• Solution in the discharge line may be under pressure.
Release the pressure from the discharge line before dis-
connecting plumbing or disassembly of the pump to avoid
solution spray.

Requirement
• Wear protective clothing when handling or working with
pumps. Consult solution MSDS for appropriate precautions.
Do not come into contact with residual solution.
• Do not clean the pump or nameplate with a solvent such
as benzine or thinner. This may discolor the pump or erase
printing. Use a dry or damp cloth or a neutral detergent.

Overview
Pump characteristics, features and part names are described
in this section.
Introduction
Pump structure & Operating principle
The EJ series is a diaphragm metering pump which consists of a pump head
and a drive unit with a built-in controller. A diaphragm is directly driven by electromagnetic force.
Principle of operation
The pulse signal via the PCB generates the electromagnetic force to make
reciprocating motion with the assistance of the spring force. The reciprocating
motion is transferred to a diaphragm through a plunger and then volumetric
change occurs in the pump head. This action transfers liquid along with pump
head valve action.

Features
● Multivoltage operation
The EJ series is a multivoltage type (100-240VAC) and can be selected with-
out local power limitations.
● High turndown ratio
Digitally-controlled spm range is 1-360spm.
● IP rating of 65 equivalent
This pump is not waterproof. Protect the pump with a cover when installing it
out of doors.
Operational functions
Manual mode
Run/stop the pump by the start/stop key. A stroke rate (MAN speed) can be
changed in the range of 1-360spm by the up key at any time during operation
or stop. See page 34 for detail.
*The pump can also be turned ON/OFF by switching the main power.
