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.

REV. A PN J63143 - 5 -
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.

5.2. General
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 mode selector switch is in the off position...
2) Fill the chemical tank with the chemical to be fed.
3) Slide the model selector switch all the way to the left in the on position and
make sure the programming selector switch is in the run position
6. Maintenance
NOTE : To get actual feed rates for specific settings, the output must be verified
by measuring the volume output. Use the flow chart Figure #6, as a guide. To
get the actual feed rate for specific settings, each pump must be calibrated for its
flow. As with any peristaltic pump output varies tubing condition. It is
recommended that feed rates be verified at every tubing change and after every
250-hour. More critical applications 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.
