SECTION I
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Neptune series 600 “dia-PUMP” is a reliable metering pump of the high-pressure diaphragm type. Under
constant conditions of temperature, pressure, and capacity adjustment settings, a plus or minus range of 1%
metered discharge volume is maintained.
A plunger reciprocating at a fixed stroke displaces hydraulic fluid which actuates a flexible, chemically inert,
Teflon®, diaphragm to create pumping action. The capacity of the pump is regulated by controlling the
volume of hydraulic fluid, which bypasses the diaphragm cavity.
Metering accuracy is maintained by a control rod which allows hydraulic fluid replacement and air venting
automatically with each stroke, while also taking into account temperature changes of the hydraulic fluid.
Metering accuracy is also insured by the use of double ball check valves on the suction and discharge of the
pump.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING THE PUMP.

SECTION II
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.0 GENERAL
1.0.1UNPACKING & INSPECTION
When unpacking a pump or chemical feed system, be certain that no parts are thrown away. Examine
the equipment for possible damage. If damage has occurred, file claim with the common carrier within
24 hours. Neptune will assist in estimating the repair costs.
1.0.2The “dia-Pump” should be located on a level surface. Four mounting holes are p rovided to anchor the
pump securely to the mounting surface. All piping to the pump should be supported to prevent stress
on the pump input and output fittings.
1.0.3Before connecting the pump, make sure that all fittings are completely clean by flushing thoroughly.
Any foreign matter entering the pump can damage the internal parts and severely limit the life of the
pump.
1.0.4A “Y” STRAINER (AT LEAST ONE PIPE SIZE LARGER THAN SUCTION INLET SIZE OF THE
PUMP) MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE SUCTION LINE OF THE PUMP TO INSURE AGAINST
FOREIGN MATTER ENTERING THE PUMP.
1.0.5It is recommended that shut-off valves and unions be placed in the suction and discharge lines if
possible. Such an arrangement will facilitate servicing the pump.
1.0.6The electrical supply to the pump must match the motor nameplate characteristics. The motor rotation
is counter clockwise when viewed from the top of the motor or looking down on the pump. (See
Figure 1)
IMPORTANT
On single phase units, the rotation is set at the factory and must not be changed.
On all units, motor rotation may be viewed through the coupling access points just below the motor.
4
Please note Figure 1, indicatingthe correct rotation. Operation with the incorrect rotation will damage the pump and motor.
1.0.8Please note, that someitems in the parts list have morethan one part number foran individual figure number.
These different part numbers insure unique identification of parts, which are available in more than one material of
construction, or as in the case of gears, more than one speed. Please use the part number, not the figure number
when ordering.
1.0.9Fill gear box and pump by pouring the hydraulic fluid (drive lubricant) supplied through the fill opening at the rear
of the pump. Pour fluid in slowly until it is at the dipstick mark. The control knob should be in the zero position
during the filling. PLEASE NOTE: TO VENT THE AIR, REMOVE A VENT PLUG, LOCATED ON TO OF
THE OIL HEAD.
Allow 30 minutes for hydraulic fluid to make its way into pump chamber and then recheck fluid level.
The hydraulic fluid supplied by Neptune is EP SAE 90.
Common sources for hydraulic fluid are:
Shell OilOmala #220
Mobil OilMobil Gear #629
Sun OilSun Oil #220
TexacoMeropa #220
2.0SUCTION PIPING
2.0.1The suction piping to the pump must be absolutely air tight and one size larger than suction inlet size of the pump.
It is suggested that the suction piping be tested with low pressure and a soap solution to assure that no leaks exist.
Limit the total length of the suction line to 3-4 feet suction lift or 6-7 feet flooded suction. Minimize bends,
elbows, or other restrictions.
2.0.2NEPTUNE RECOMMENDS THAT THE “dia-PUMPS” BE OPERATED WITH A FLOODED SUCTION, AS
THIS WILL FACILITATE START UP AND INCREASE THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE PUMP.
2.0.3It is highly recommended that all solution tanks be furnished with a low level cut off switch or low level alarm
and cut off switch to prevent the pump from running dry. OPERATION AGAINST A DRY SYSTEM WILL
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PUMP DIAPHRAGM AND REDUCE THE OPERATING LIFE OF THE PUMP.
5
3.0 DISCHARGE PIPING
3.0.1It is recommended that the “dia-PUMP” operate against a minimum discharge pressure of 50 psig.
3.0.2All Neptune Series 600 “dia-Pumps” are supplied with an internally pre-set relief valve. This relief valve is set
3.0.3To protect the piping system, it is recommended that an external relief valve as manufactured by Neptune Chemical
3.0.4Discharge piping should equal discharge port size.
4.0 ADJUSTMENT OF INTERNAL RELIEF VALVE
4.0.1All Neptune Series 600 “dia-Pumps” are supplied with an internally pre-set relief valve. The internal relief valve is set
approximately 25% above the actual rated discharge pressure of the pump and is designed to protect the pump
should a discharge pressure beyond the rated limit of the pump occur.
Pump Company, or equal, be place in the discharge line of the pump.
The internal relief valve is designed to protect the pump itself should a discharge pressure beyond the relief valve
setting occur.
If a customer order specifies a relief valve setting above those indicated above, the specified setting will be set at the
factory. All pumps are tagged with the relief valve setting used by the factory.
To protect the external piping system, it is recommended that a relief valve as manufactured by Neptune Chemical or
equal be placed in the discharge line of the pump. It is further recommended that this relief valve be piped into
return of the tank with clear PVC tubing so that it can be determined if the solution is bypassing through the valve
and returning to the tank, indicating a line blockage.
Drawing on page 18 illustrates the locations of the internal relief valve for Models 610 and 615 (FIG. #1435, #1411,
#0145, #0119, #0146, #0120).
Drawing on page 20 illustrates the locations of the internal relief valve for Models 620 and 625 (FIG. #2335, #2311,
#0145, #0119, #0146, #0120).
Drawing on page 22 illustrates the locations of the internal relief valve for Models 635 and 637 (FIG. #3235, #3211,
#0145, #0119, #0146, #0120).
Drawing on page 24 illustrates the locations of the internal relief valve for Models 647 (FIG. #3235, #3211, #0145,
#0119, #0146, #0120).
The drawing shows a passage connecting the hydraulic fluid reservoir with the hydraulic fluid side of the diaphragm.
The passage is interrupted by the relief valve ball (FIG. #1435, #2335, #3235) which is backed up by a relief valve
spring (FIG #0146).
If, during the pump operation, the pressure on the hydraulic fluid side of the pump exceeds the set pressure of the
internal relief valve, the ball is forced from its seal allowing the hydraulic fluid to flow back tot he reservoir.
6
4.0.2To reset the relief valve to a higher pressure (the relief valve setting cannot be reduced because of
design considerations), instructions are as follows:
4.0.21Connect a test set-up shown in Figure IV below. NOTE: All parts must have a working
pressure rating above the required set pressure.
4.0.22Start and run the pump until air is relieved from the discharge liquid (hand valve open).
4.0.23Remove relief valve cap (FIG. #0120).
4.0.24Close hand valve; pressure gauge should read between 250 and 4500 psi depending on pump
model.
4.0.25Use 5/16” Allen wrench to adjust spring tension by turning relief valve adjusting screw (FIG.
4.0.26After resetting or adjusting pressure, replace relief valve cap (FIG. #0119) completely in.
Do not attempt to set the internal relief valve more than 25% in excess of name plate rating.

5.0 INSTALLATION OUTDOORS
The “dia-PUMP” is a totally enclosed pump which can be used outdoors or indoors. When installed outdoors, make
sure that the pump is protected against extremes of nature as follows:
5.0.1Running of the pump when exposed to tropical sunshine with ambient temperature above 90° F (32°C)
would cause excessive oil motor temperatures. The pump should be shaded and located in s uch a way
as to permit an ample degree of air circulation.
5.0.2Under cold conditions, the pump should be insulated and a heater should be supplied in order to
maintain the hydraulic fluid at an ambient temperature above 30°F (-1°C).
6.0 START UP PROCEDURE
The following start up procedure is complete and does repeat instructions on filling the gearbox and pump.
6.0.1Remove backpressure spring (anti-siphon spring) for start up. Reinstall after pump is operational if
needed.
6.0.2Flooded Suction: Refer to Section II, Paragraph 1.0.9, for instructions on filling gearbox with hydraulic
fluid.
6.0.3After having let pump stand for 30 minutes and having rechecked fluid level, set pump capacity indicator
at approximately 30%. Be certain that pump suction and discharge lines are open.
6.0.4Make c ertain that pumping chamber is flooded by loosening vent plug (FIG. #1412 for Models 610 &
615, FIG #2314 for Models 620 & 625, FIG. #3214 for Models 635 & 637) and allowing solution to
appear. Then tighten discharge vent plug. This procedure will also allow air to vent from pumping
chamber. The “dia-PUMP” WILL NOT FUNCTION IF AIR IS TRAPPED IN THE HYDRAULIC FLUID
OR LIQUID PUMP CHAMBERS. Start pump.
6.0.5On initial start-ups: Check for proper motor rotation (Refer to Paragraph 1.0.9). Run the pump for 10-20
seconds, then stop for 20-30 seconds. Repeat approximately 15 items in order to fill the diaphragm oil
cavity. During these short runs, listen for any abnormal motor or crank noises, and if present, refer to
trouble shooting chart.

Valve stacks for the Series 620/625 pumps have been improved by the addition of close tolerance ball guides, which
allow better accuracy and better valve life at higher pressures.
Original and improved stack arrangements are shown in the figures on page 27.
Parts are currently furnished only for the improved version. When ordering replacement sears for an original valve
stack design, order the ball guides (FIG. #2362) and spacer (FIG. #2361). Installing these parts and discarding the
old spacers and seats will upgrade the pump to the improved valve arrangement.
If seats are not replaced, it is not necessary to change the spacers and ball guides. If seats are replaced (the new
seats are of a different thickness) the ball guides and spacers must also be replaced.

APPENDUM
600 SERIES PVC PUMP
THEORY OF OPERATION
The NEPTUNE 600 PVC “dia-Pump” is a double diaphragm pump employing the basic drive unit of the Neptune
series 600 “dia-Pump”.
All drive, stroke control parts and oil head are common to the original flat diaphragm models. An intermediate plate
and all parts in the liquid side are different from the basic pump.
Hydraulic oil displaces a flat diaphragm, which displaces “an intermediate fluid” which, in turn, flexes the second flat
diaphragm.
Note:1.Valves may be removed for cleaning or replacement without disturbing the
sealed portion containing the intermediate fluid.
2.All Neptune 600 PVC pumps are furnished with the intermediate fluid installed
and factory sealed. Do not attempt to add additional fluid. Follow the instructions below only if
the head has lost fluid due to the diaphragm failure.
DISASSEMBLY OF LIQUID HEAD:
1.0.0Shut pump off and disconnect suction and discharge piping. Remove drain plug in lower left
had side or gear box and drain hydraulic oil from gearbox.
1.0.1Remove (12) 3/8-16 screws and remove steel plate and liquid head. Process liquid and
intermediate fluid will spill out when liquid head is removed.
1.0.2Remove (1) 5/8-11 screws and remove intermediate plate. Some intermediate
fluid and some hydraulic oil will spill out when intermediate plate is removed.
1.0.3All parts should be inspected for any deficiency or wear and replaced if necessary. Both
diaphragms should be replaced with new diaphragms.
1.0.4To reassemble, reverse above procedure. Be certain that parts align properly and fill up hole
on intermediate plate facing up.
REFILLING INTERMEDIATE PLATE:
1.0.6Remove fill plug in the top of intermediate plate.
1.0.7Slowly pour contents of premeasured intermediate fluid into fill hole. Pour slowly and gently
rock pump to help air escape from chamber during filling.
1.0.8Fill intermediate chamber with exactly 165ml of intermediate fluid. When the solution reaches
to of fill hole, install fill plug. Do not overfill the intermediate liquid chamber, collapse of the
diaphragm is not acceptable and could result in difficult start-up and in lost pump capacity.
1.0.9Reinstall pump. Follow procedure in NETPUNE STANDARD OPERATING AND
INSTRUCTION MANUAL for initial pump start up.
1.0.10Recommended Spare Parts for 600 PVC Head (addition to standard spare parts lists). It is
recommended that the following parts be kept in stock for a pump.
10.0.1Important – When ordering spare parts, please show MODEL NUMBER AND SERIAL
NUMBER of pump for which parts are being ordered. This information can be found on a
stainless steel nameplate riveted to the s ide of the pump.
10.0.2Recommended Spare Parts for PUMP MODELS
It is recommended that the following parts be kept in stock for a pump:
Note: For prompt entry of orders for this pump; your order must include both model number and serial number.

SECTION VII
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERIES 600 ‘DIA-PUMPS” WITH PNEUMATIC STROKE CONTROL
Refer to Drawing No. B-001743
11.0FUNCTION OF THE PNEUMATIC STROKE CONTROL UNIT.
The Neptune pneumatic stroke control unit controls the capacity of the “dia-PUMP’ over the full operating range.
Control is normally effected by an instrument air signal of 3 to 15 psi applied to a Moore Products Model 73N
control valve (Part #100265), (other air signal parameters also available), which is an integral part of Neptune
stroke control unit.
The variation of instrument air signal changes the air pressure on the diaphragm (Part #100287) in the control
unit, which in turn changes the position of the pump capacity control rod (Part #000375, 000385, 000419).
The position change of the control unit can be observed on a capacity percentage scale (Part #100284) seen
through the clear plexi-glass shell of the control unit.
The pneumatic control unit may be attached to any Series 600 “dia-Pump”.
The operating range of supply air may vary between 40 and 80 psi. The Moore control valve is preset at the
factory for a supply air pressure of 60 psi.
The “Pneumatic Stroke Control Unit” is accurately preset and tested at the factory. If the unit does not appear to
perform correctly, please contact your local representative or the factory. Do not attempt to adjust the unit in the
field without factory advice.
11.0.1The Moore control valve (Part #100265) which is attached to the Neptune actuator supplies a varying
air pressure to the flexible diaphragm (Part #100287) which is, in turn, balanced by operating spring
(Part #100290). The capacity control rod (Part #000375, 000385, 000419) is attached to this system.
With the required air signal, the Moore control valve maintains the correct constant air pressure on the
flexible diaphragm (Part #100287); i.e., constant position of the capacity control rod (Part #000375,
000385, 000419). The springs in the actuator and Moore control valve insure that the controlled
position is maintained without fluctuation. Only changes in the air signal will cause variations in position
of the diaphragm (i.e., capacity control rod). Supply air and instrument input ports are c learly marked
on the Moore Control Valve.
The Moore control valve connections are marked for “Supply Air” and “Instrument Air”. It is important
that clean, dry air be furnished to the “Pneumatic Stroke Control Unit”. Cross sectional drawings of the
complete unit and the Moore control valve are included with the instruction manual.
11.0.2Maintenance.
The Neptune “Pneumatic Stroke Control Unit” is normally maintenance free. Should, however, any
parts be required, use attached drawing No. B-001743 and the parts list as an assembly guide.
11.0.3Moore Control Valve
If more complete information is required on the Moore Model 73N control valve, request Moore bulletin
#SD73-5 in writing from Neptune.
