2. Safety Instructions
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO USE. Failure to
follow or understand instructions can/may lead to serious injury or death.
• WARNING: Secure chemicals & metering pumps, making them inaccessible
to children & pets.
• WARNING: DO NOT PUMP FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock-before maintenance, repair,
or moving always disconnect the power to the pump by unplugging from wall
outlet.
• WARNING: Do not tamper with, cut the plug or ground lug off the electrical
cord. Consult a licensed electrician for proper installation.
• WARNING: Always wear protective clothing, including gloves and safety eye
protection, when working on or near chemical metering pumps, consult
chemical manufacture for protective equipment recommendations.
• 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.
• WARNING: Always depressurize system and drain the chemical prior to
installation or maintenance.
• WARNING: Read and fully understand the section on tube replacement.
Failure to do so may lead to serious injury.
• WARNING: DO NOT MODIFY PUMP, as this poses a potentially dangerous
situation and voids the warranty.
• WARNING: If the injection point is lower than the chemical tank and pump,
install an anti-siphon valve.
REV. A PN J63143 - 3 -
• WARNING: All pumps are factory tested with water. Remove tubing and
thoroughly dry if the chemical being pumped will react with water (for
example: sulfuric acid).
• WARNING: Only finger tighten plastic connections (Do not use a wrench).
• WARNING: Consult licensed plumber and electrician before installation to be
sure to conform to local codes.
• CAUTION: Inspect tubing regularly for cracking or deterioration and replace
as necessary. (Always wear protective clothing and safety eye protection
when inspecting tubing.)
• CAUTION: KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM ROTATING PARTS.
• CAUTION: If the pump is exposed to direct sunlight, use a U.V. resistant
tubing.
• CAUTION: Follow directions and warnings provided with the chemical from
the chemical manufacturer. The user is responsible for determining the
chemical compatibility with the chemical feed pump.
• CAUTION: Consult with local health officials and qualified water conditioning
specialists when treating potable water
• CAUTION: For accurate volume output, the pump must be calibrated under
all operating conditions.
3. Technical Specifications
Refer to the data plate located on the back of the peristaltic pump. Note that the
data plate will be located behind the back splash cover if installed. Please make
note of the Electrical Rating, Feed Rate and Maximum Pressure of the pump.
Use this information to complete the top three lines in Table 1 (below) by. For
example, if the Electrical Rating indicated on the data plate of the pump is
230V/60 Hz fill in the first line of the table below. Keep this information handy for
future reference and part replacement.
Figure 1 provides a quick reference for installation dimensional requirements.

4. Installation
Vertical
Mount
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).
Select a location that does not subject the timers LCD to direct sunlight.
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.

4) Apply Pipe tape to the injection fitting threads and install into piping system.
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.

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. 7 Day Electronic Timer
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. The pump is equipped with a 3-position mode selector switch in the upper
left side of the control panel. Verify the switch in is the off-position before
plugging your pump into a wall receptacle – see Figure 6.
