4. Installation
NOTE: For pumps operating in swimming pool
installations the pump is to be supplied by an isolating
transformer or through a residual current device (RCD).
1. The pump can be installed either vertically or
horizontally (See Figure 2). Make sure to secure the
pump on a flat level surface that will support 50-lbs
(22kg) and secure with four .25-in (6mm) screws in the
holes provided. The guard snaps into the back of the
pump via three tangs (See Figure 1). The pump should
be mounted with no less than 1.75-in (44mm) of
clearance around the venting on both the front and the
rear of the pump. Locate the pump so there is direct
access to the power cord plug.
The pump is rated for indoor use only. For applications
that are subject to splashing make sure the pump is
mounted horizontally level with splash guard in place.
Vertical mountings require the purchase of optional
hood (J63004).
2. Verify the electrical requirements for the pump
as listed on the name plate and connect to an appropriate electrical source in
compliance with local codes for the specific application.
3. Relieve the system pressure and drain the piping run where the injection
fitting is to be installed. See Figure 2 for reference. The injection fitting must
not be installed in a dead end pipe or a deeply recessed tee. It should be
installed so as to place the tip at the center of the fluid stream as indicated
in Figure 2. The injection fitting is supplied with .25-in NPT threads. If necessary
drill a .44-in (11mm) diameter hole, and using care not to tap to deeply, tap for
.25-in NPT.
REV. L PN J63031 - 5-
4. Apply pipe tape to the injection fitting threads and install into piping system.
Figure 5: CeramicWeighted Strainer
Plastic
Sleeve
Do not remove the plastic sleeve on the tip of the fitting; it is a functional
part (See Figure 4).
CAUTION: Inspect the piping system and eliminate piping cross-connections to
prevent feeding chemical to areas not needing treatment.
To install tubing remove the compression fitting’s coupling nut and slide onto
tubing. Place tubing onto fitting and hand tighten the coupling nut. NOTE:
Immerse tubing in hot water to soften prior to pushing on to fitting. Hand-tighten
only, do not use wrenches.
Figure 4: Injector valve
5. Referring to Figure 5, slide ceramic strainer weight on
suction tubing first, then remove the coupling nut from the
strainer and slide onto tubing. Next, push the end of the
tubing onto the strainer and hand tighten the coupling nut.
Hand-tighten only, do not use wrenches. Note: Immerse
tubing in hot water to soften prior to pushing on fitting.
6. Install the strainer so it is off the bottom of the chemical
container 1 to 2-inches (25-50mm) and measure suction
tubing length required. Cut tubing ends square and install on
suction fitting of the pump. Hand-tighten only, do not use
wrenches.
REV. L PN J63031 - 6-
5. Operation
WARNING: Always make sure the voltage on the pump data plate matches the
installation voltage before plugging the pump into a wall outlet or hooking up to
an electrical supply. If you are unsure, have a licensed electrician inspect and
install your pump.
5.1. Fixed and Adjustable Speed Pumps
CAUTION: Before plugging your pump into a wall outlet, take a moment and
locate the control panel of your pump. The control panel is located on top of the
pump underneath a removable clear polycarbonate rain guard. A simple thumb
screw secures the rain guard to the pump; its removal allows access to the
control panel. Both fixed and adjustable speed pumps are equipped with a 3position rocker switch mounted in the center of the control panel. Verify the
switch in is the neutral or off-position before plugging your pump into a wall
receptacle. (see Figure 6) Note that the image shown is for the Adjustable pump,
the Fixed-Speed pump comes with the 3-way rocker switch, only.
As previously mentioned, the rocker switch has three positions. The off-position
is the middle or neutral position of the switch. The switch also provides a
momentary-on function. By depressing and holding the switch toward the pump
head (100%), the pump becomes energized. Upon releasing the switch, the
rocker returns to the neutral, or off-position and pump operation ceases. This
function is very useful when priming and/or replacing worn tubing in the pump.
To turn the pump on, depress the rocker switch away from the pump head
(switch position “|”). The switch locks in place and the pump becomes energized
– see Figure 6 for specific functions. To turn the pump off (switch position “O”),
return the rocker switch to the middle or neutral position.
5.2. Adjustable Rate Pumps
If you purchased a pump with the adjustable feed-rate option, the control panel
on your pump includes a control knob that adjusts the pump on/off cycle time.
Rates are infinitely adjustable from 5% to 100% -- see Figure 6 for an illustration.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE CONTROL KNOB SET TO 0% TO TURN THE
PUMP OFF: ALWAYS TURN THE PUMP OFF AT THE ROCKER SWITCH.

The cycle time is 2 seconds and the adjustment dial provides the setting
percentage as the amount of time that the pump is on in each 2 second cycle.
For example, a dial setting of 5% provides a 0.10-second on-time (0.05 X 2) and
corresponding 1.90-second off-time (2 – 0.10). Conversely a setting of 95%
provides a 1.90-second on-time (0.95*2) and corresponding 0.10-second (2 –
0.10) off-time. The graph below provides a convenient reference for all dial
settings in terms of on and off-times.
Note that the momentary “On” (100% switch position) by-passes the adjustable
timer setting of the pump, causing the pump to run continuously regardless of the
timer percentage setting. When released the switch returns to the “Off” position
(O).
REV. L PN J63031 - 8-
5.3. Pulse Timer Pumps
If the pump was purchased with the pulse
timer mode the pumps rate control knob
will adjust the pumps run time per pulse
input received. The timer does not
accumulate pulses that are received
during the run time. Available pulse timers
are 0.1 to 1 second, 0.2 to 10 seconds
and 1.2 to 60 seconds.
The pump is also provided with a 10 foot
(3 meter) signal cable with two bare leads.
The input is a dry contact, compatible with
contacting head type water meters and
the input has no polarity. No voltage is
permitted on the input signal.
5.4. Dry Contact Input Pumps
If the pump was purchased with the Dry Contact Input mode, the pump will be
activated and deactivated by this dry contact input. The pump is provided with
a 10 foot (3 meters) signal cable with two bare leads. The input is a dry
contact, intended to be connected to a dry contact switch, and the input has
no polarity. No voltage is permitted on the input signal. The pump will
activate and run for the full time that the switch is closed, and deactivate
when the switch opens.
5.5. General Operation
DANGER: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FEED CHEMICALS WITHOUT FIRST
CONSULTING YOUR CHEMICAL FEEDER DEALER OR CHEMICAL
SUPPLIER. To avoid running out of chemical, follow a regular schedule of
monitoring chemical supply.
CAUTION: Inspect peristaltic tubing frequently and replace when deterioration
becomes apparent. Peristaltic tubing will eventually wear and break if neglected.
This occurrence will cause chemical spillage and a potential for personal injury or
damage to equipment. Always refer to chemical manufacturers
recommendations with regards to safety and handling of hazardous or corrosive
chemicals. Always wear protective clothing and safety glasses when working
near chemical feed systems.
WARNING: Do not expose the pump or tubing to pressure exceeding the
pressure rating on the pump nameplate.
1. Make sure the rocker switch is in the off/neutral position...
2. Fill the chemical tank with the chemical to be fed.
REV. L PN J63031 - 9-
3. Depress and hold the Momentary-On (100%) button until the chemical is
present in the discharge line up to the injection point.
4. If the pump is an adjustable model rotate the percentage knob to the desired
feed-rate setting. Turn the rocker switch to the continuous-On position.
6. Maintenance
NOTE: It is recommended that volume output be measured at initial start-up, at
every tube change, and after every 250-hours of operation. Use the flow rate
stated on your data label as a guide. More critical applications may require more
frequent verification.
NOTE: NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS ARE INSIDE THE
ENCLOSURE. IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD BECOMES DAMAGED, IT
MUST BE REPLACED BY PULSAFEEDER, ITS REPRESENTATIVE, OR A
SIMILARLY QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ORDER TO AVOID A HAZARD.
