Important Installation Information
Use of the standard AODD Installation Guide is recommended for pumps
tted with AirVantage technology. Install shut-off valves on both the suction and
discharge of the pump. (This will help limit the amount of product that enters the center section
of the pump in the event of a diaphragm failure.) Using shut-off valves in conjunction with a drain
port also provides a means of allowing the lines to be drained when maintenance needs to
be conducted.
When the supply liquid level is above the air inlet of the pump, and a
diaphragm fails, the pumped liquid or fumes can enter the air end through
the point of failure. When a diaphragm failure is detected, it is best to close
the shut-off valves and bleed the lines of product. This will limit the ability
of the material being pumped to enter the AirVantage. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the AirVantage and air distribution components.
If a diaphragm failure has been detected in pumps
tted with AirVantage, the following procedure for
shut-down must be used:
1. Close the suction shut-off valve
(this will limit any new product from
entering the pump)
2. Close the discharge shut-off valve
(this will stop any product from
reentering the pump)
3. Close the air supply shut-off valve
4. Drain the discharge line
5. Drain the suction line
6. Perform maintenance

PRINCIPLE OF PUMP OPERATION
This ball valve tted pump has been equipped with IDEX’s patented AirVantage equipment. To fully understand the
operation of the AirVantage, one must rst understand the basics of Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps.
AODD’s are powered by compressed air. The compressed air is directed behind each of the exible diaphragms by a
Main Air Valve. Once the diaphragm has reached the end of its stroke, a Pilot Valve is mechanically actuated, sending
an air signal back to the Main Air Valve which redirects air to the opposite diaphragm. This causes the diaphragm
assemblies, which are connected by a common Diaphragm Rod, to move in a reciprocating action.
Air is directed to the inboard side of the diaphragm, which is closest to the center of the pump. This is referred to
as the air side of the diaphragm. The opposite side is commonly called the uid side. Most AODD pumps have a 1:1
ratio design. This means, when the discharge of the pump is closed completely (dead headed), the maximum pressure
the pump will create will be equal to the air pressure being applied to the pump. At this point, and only at this point, the
diaphragm will be completely balanced. The air pressure is equivalent to the uid pressure and there will be no movement
of the diaphragm. If the pump is stroking, then the system is not balanced. There will be more pressure applied to the air
side than uid pressure on the uid side.
During each stroke of the pump there are two distinct operations that occur. One diaphragm is moving away from
the center of the pump, moving uid out of the Discharge Manifold, while the other diaphragm is moving toward the
center, bringing uid into the Suction Manifold. Considering that the pump has a common suction and discharge port,
these two operations are separated from each other through a series of Check Valves.
PRINCIPLE OF AIRVANTAGE
AirVantage is a special air side device which uses equipment that can accurately monitor the operation of the pump.
Based on the monitored information, air is metered to the correct amount to perform the work required, and
NOTHING MORE.
Once the pump starts up, and the AirVantage is turned on, the LED indicator light will go through a series of patterns.
Initially the light will be solid green. This indicates the AirVantage is allowing the pump to reach a steady state. Next,
the light will pulse at a very rapid rate. This is called the learn phase. Learn is where the AirVantage monitors the pump
in non-AirVantage mode. This will set the parameters for operation in AirVantage mode. In less than one minute, the
pump will change tones. The LED indicator light will start an uneven blink when optimization has started. Optimization
will be completed once the LED light is blinking in unison with the stroke rate of the pump. All this is completed without
sacricing a signicant amount of ow.
AIR LINE MOISTURE
Water in the compressed air supply can create problems such as icing and freezing of the exhaust air. The
formation of ice in the exhaust can cause the pump to cycle erratically, degrade efciency, or even stop the pump. Fitting
the pump with the AirVantage technology reduces the exhaust temperature. This is due to more energy being extracted
from every pulse of air. When more energy is extracted, the temperature of the air is reduced. Some method of air drying
will be necessary. Most refrigerant dryers installed on compressors can reduce the dewpoint to about 40° F. This is
normally adequate for most pumping applications. If further drying needs to occur due to internal ice build-up, a desiccant
dryer can be installed. These air line dryers can lower the dewpoint to around -40° F.
AIR VALVE LUBRICATION
The air valve and pilot valve are designed to operate without lubrication. There may be instances of personal
preference or when extremely dry air is being used (instrument quality or nitrogen) that a small amount of lubrication will
improve the life of the rubber components being used on the air side of the pump. The lubrication may be added using an
air line lubricator (¾” PN: 020.051.001 – 1” PN: 020.052.001). At the point of operation use SAE 10 weight, non detergent
oil at a maximum rate of 1 drop per hour for every 20 scfm (9.4 liters/sec) of air consumption. Consult the pump curve to
determine this value. The smallest amount needed is preferred.
AIR INLET AND PRIMING
To start the pump, make sure the AirVantage switch is in the off position. Increase the pressure until the pump starts
to cycle. The pump stroke rate should slow slightly when the pump is primed. Once the pump is fully primed, increase
the pressure at the regulator until the desired ow rate is achieved. Again, the pump curve can be used to derive this
value. If increasing the pressure to the pump does not generate a higher ow rate, then cavitation has occurred. Back the
regulator off slightly. To gain the most efciency from the pump, try to run the pump fully primed at all times.
BETWEEN USES
When the pump is being used to move materials that tend to settle out or solidify, the pump should be ushed to
prevent damage. The product that remains in the pump could dry and settle out. This could potentially cause damage
to the diaphragms and/or check valves during restart. In freezing temperatures the pump must be completely drained
between uses. Due to the addition of the new technology, it is recommended the air supply to the pump be shut off if the
pump is going to be shut down for an extended length of time.
INSTALLATION AND START-UP
The pump should be located near the product being pumped, in order to keep the suction line as short as possible.
Minimize the number of ttings between the product and the pump and maintain the line size, if possible. Better results
will always be realized if the line size of the suction line is increased by one size. It's not recommended to hook up
rigid pipe directly to the pump. Some method of expansion joint or vibration isolator should be used. A Warren Rupp
Tranquilizer
the level of the pump, a pressure regulating device may need to be added to the exhaust of the pump (Consult the factory
for recommendations).
AIR SUPPLY
The air supply pressure cannot exceed 125 psi (8.6 bar). The air line and associated components (lters,
regulators, solenoid valves, etc.) should not be less than ½” (13 mm). However, 3/4" (19mm) or greater is preferred. An
air line lter-regulator is necessary for the AirVantage installation. The required component (PN: 020.107.000) is available
through the distributor. Rigid pipe should not be hooked directly to the air inlet of the AirVantage. A exible hose should be
installed to reduce the strain. Do not let the weight of the air line components be supported by the air inlet of the pump.
Failure to provide a means of supporting the weight may result in damage to the pump. If the pump will be shut down for
any extended length of time, it is recommended that the air supply to the pump should be shut off.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
For the safe operation of the equipment, it is necessary for the air supply to come from a safe area, therefore,
the supplied air shall be clean.

PUMP TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION! WHENEVER TROUBLESHOOTING OR PERFORMING ANY
REPAIRS ON ANY WARREN RUPP, INC. EQUIPMENT, ALWAYS REMOVE
THE AIR SUPPLY LINE TO THE PUMP AND WEAR PROPER PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
PUMP WILL NOT CYCLE
What to Check: • The system head exceeds the air supply pressure to the pump.
Corrective Action: • Increase the air inlet pressure to the pump. Most diaphragm pumps are
designed for 1:1 pressure at zero ow.
What to Check:• Check ESADS+, including pilot valve assembly and main air valve assembly.
Corrective Action: • Disassemble and inspect the main air distribution valve, pilot valve, and
pilot valve actuator pins. Check for scores, wear, or damaged o-rings. Replace parts as necessary.
Refer to the exploded view drawing and air valve section (P.18 & 20).
What to Check: • Blocked discharge line.
Corrective Action: • Check for obstruction or closed discharge line.
What to Check: • Blocked pumping chamber.
Corrective Action: • Disassemble and inspect wetted chambers of the pump. Remove or ush
any obstructions. Refer to page 14 for disassembly.
PUMP CYCLES, BUT WILL NOT FLOW OR FLOW RATE IS UNSATISFACTORY
What to Check: • Restricted or undersized air line.
Corrective Action: • Make sure there are no obstructions or restrictions in the air inlet to the
pump. Install proper size air line and/or air line equipment. Refer to air supply section (p.7) air inlet
plumbing recommendations.
What to Check: • Restricted or undersized suction piping.
Corrective Action: • Make sure there are no obstructions or restrictions in the suction line or
related suction components such as screens or strainers. Install the proper size suction line and/
or equipment. It is recommended that any suction line components and pipe size be at least the
same size as the suction line thread size to the pump. Though best results will always be realized
if the line size of the suction line is increased by one size. Refer to the installation section (p.5) for
recommended suction plumbing recommendations.
What to Check: • Excessive Suction Lift.
Corrective Action: • For lifts exceeding 20 feet (6 meters), lling the pump chambers with liquid
will prime the pump in most cases. If not, place pump closer to uid level.
What to Check: • Suction line cavitation.
Corrective Action: • If no obstructions are in the suction line of the pump, decrease the inlet
air pressure and/or volume to the pump. This will slow down the diaphragm speed and reduce the
cavitation.
What to Check: • Partially blocked exhaust mufer.
Corrective Action: • Remove mufer and make sure that some of the material being pumped has
not migrated into the mufer element. If it has, replace the element or clean it and reinstall. If product
has made it to the mufer, then the diaphragm assembly will need to be inspected. Refer to the
Diaphragm Replacement section (p.15).
What to Check: • Suction side air leakage or air in the product.
Corrective Action: • Visually inspect all suction side gaskets, seals, as well as pipe and pipe
connections.
PUMP CYCLE SEEMS UNBALANCED OR PRODUCES EXCESSIVE VIBRATION

DIAPHRAGM AND CHECK VALVE SERVICING
• To service the diaphragms, rst shut off and bleed the air being supplied to the pump. For safety
purposes the air supply line should be disconnected from the pump.
• Then shut off the suction and discharge lines to the pump.
• Bleed the pressure from the pump suction and discharge lines and remove the lines from the pump.
• Drain any remaining liquid from the pump.
• During the servicing of the diaphragms, consult the “Composite Repair Parts Drawing” (p.7).
Step #1: Removing the Manifolds
• Using a 9/16" wrench or socket, remove the 16 cap-screws, hex-nuts, and lockwashers that fasten the
manifolds to the outer chambers.
• Remove the manifolds.
Step #2: Inspect Check Valve Components
• Inspect the four check balls for wear, abrasion or cuts on the spherical surface. Also inspect the
four check valve seats for cuts, abrasive wear or embedded material around the area where the ball
contacts the seat.
• For maximum pump performance and efciency, the surface of the ball must seal against the seat
without any gaps.
• Replace worn or damaged parts as necessary. Consult the “Composite Repair Parts Drawing” for part
numbers and quantities.
Step #3: Removing the Outer Chambers
• Using an 11/16" and a 5/8" wrench or socket, remove the 16 cap-screws, and hexnuts that fasten the
outer chambers, diaphragms, and inner chambers.
Step #4: Removing the Diaphragm Assemblies
• Once the outer chambers are removed, use a 1-1/16” (27mm) wrench or six-pointed socket to remove
the diaphragm assemblies (outer plate, diaphragm, and inner plate) from the diaphragm rod by turning
counterclockwise.
• “AirVantage CAUTION” – When diaphragm assemblies are removed, watch for the brass probe
tips located on the end of the sensor rod. There is one brass probe tip and one o-ring per side.
Inspect the probe tips and o-rings for wear. For every diaphragm service, these parts should be
replaced and are available in kit form. Consult the “Composite Repair Parts Drawing” for part
numbers and quantities.
• The diaphragm connecting rod will usually stay with one of the diaphragm assemblies. Install the rod in
a vise tted with soft jaws and loosen the diaphragm assembly from the rod. Take care not to scar the
surface of the rod.
• Insert a 1/4-20 capscrew or set screw into the smaller tapped hole in the inner diaphragm plate.
• Insert the protruding stud and the 1/4-20 fastener loosely into a vise. Use the 1-1/16" wrench or socket
to remove the outer diaphragm plate by turning counter-clockwise.
• Inspect the diaphragms for cuts and/or punctures in the exing area. Even the smallest hole or crack
can allow product to get to the air side of the pump. If there is product noticed on the air side of the
diaphragm, there is a good possibility the diaphragm needs to be replaced.
• “AirVantage CAUTION” – If product is observed on the air side of the diaphragm, refer to the
“AirVantage Servicing” section of the service manual.
• Abrasive wear of the diaphragm needs to be inspected at the point where the diaphragm contacts the
outer chamber or where the diaphragm plates contacts the diaphragm. Chemical attack of a diaphragm
will usually result in swelling or deformity. Replace the diaphragms if necessary. Inspect the diaphragm
connecting rod for scars, nicks or any imperfection that could cause damage to the u-cup seal. Inspect
the u-cup seal for imperfections on the sealing lip. Inspect the bumpers for damage on the face.
Replace components as necessary. Consult the “Composite Repair Parts Drawing” for part numbers
and quantities.
Step #6: Assemble the Diaphragms
• Push the threaded stud of the outer diaphragm plate through the center hole of the diaphragm. Thread
the inner plate clockwise onto the stud.
• Insert the loose assembly with the above 1/4-20 fastener back into the vise. Use a torque wrench and
1-1/16” socket (27 mm) to tighten the diaphragm assembly together to 480 in.-lbs. (54.23 Newton
meters).
• Allow a torqued assembly to set for 15-minutes. This will allow the diaphragm to relax. Re-torque the
assembly to compensate for stress relaxation in the clamped assembly.
Step #7: Installing the Diaphragm Assemblies to the Pump
• Make sure the bumper is installed over the diaphragm rod. Thread the stud of the one diaphragm
assembly clockwise into the tapped hole at the end of the diaphragm rod until the inner diaphragm plate
is ush to the end of the rod.
• “AirVantage CAUTION” – With the pump lying on one inner chamber, pull the sensor rod UP
the full length of its stroke. Insert the brass probe tip and o-ring into the sensor rod. Insert rod
and diaphragm assembly into pump, taking care not to damage the u-cup seal. Make sure the
diaphragm plate contacts the brass probe tip and stays in contact with it. This will help make
sure the probe tip does not fall out during reassembly.
• Align the bolt holes in the diaphragm with the bolt pattern in the inner chamber. Fasten the outer
chamber to the pump, using the cap screws, and hex nuts, but do not tighten. Flip the pump over so
that it is now setting on the outer chamber. Pull the diaphragm rod out as far as possible. Make sure the
bumper is installed over the diaphragm rod.
• “AirVantage CAUTION” – Install the second brass probe tip and o-ring on the sensor rod.
• Thread the stud of the remaining diaphragm assembly clockwise into the tapped hole at the
end of the diaphragm rod (item 34) until the diaphragm plate contacts the end surface of the
diaphragm rod. If the bolt holes in the diaphragm do not line up with the inner chamber, use a
1-1/16” (27 mm) socket or wrench to tighten the assembly until they line up.
• Fasten the remaining outer chamber to the pump, using the cap screws and hex nuts, and once again,
do not tighten at this point. Tip the pump 90° and set it on a at surface with the discharge side of the
chambers down. This will allow the outer chambers to be aligned with each other. Tighten the sixteen
fasteners. Make sure to use a cross tightening pattern to ensure an even sealing on the diaphragm.
Step #8: Re-install the Check Valve Components and Manifolds
• While the pump is setting on the discharge side, insert the check balls and seats on the suction side of
the pump. Make sure the seats t within the counter bore of the chambers. The suction manifold can
now be installed, using the eight cap screws,
hex nuts and lock washers.
• Flip the pump 180° and install the seats and
check balls on the discharge side.
• Now the discharge manifold can be installed
and fastened using the remaining cap screws,
hex nuts, and lock washers.
OVERLAY DIAPHRAGM SERVICING
The overlay diaphragm is a PTFE diaphragm
that ts over the exterior of the diaphragm. The
PTFE diaphragm is used to protect the standard
diaphragm from the chemicals being pumped.
Repeat step #6 when diaphragms need to be
serviced.

AIR DISTRIBUTION VALVE SERVICING
STEP #1: Remove Air Valve
The main air valve sleeve and spool set is located in the valve body mounted on the pump with four
hex head cap-screws. The valve body assembly is removed from the pump by removing these four hex
head cap-screws.
STEP #2: Disassembly of the Air Valve
With the valve body assembly off the pump, access to the sleeve and spool set is made by removing four
hex head cap-screws (each end) on the end caps of the valve body assembly.
With the end caps removed, slide the spool back and forth in the sleeve. The spool is closely sized
to the sleeve and must move freely to allow for proper pump operation. An accumulation of oil, dirt or other
contaminants from the pump’s air supply, or from a failed diaphragm, may prevent the spool from moving
freely. This can cause the spool to stick in a position that prevents the pump from operating. If this is the
case, the sleeve and spool set should be removed from the valve body for cleaning and further inspection.
Remove the spool from the sleeve.
Using an arbor press or bench vise (with an improvised mandrel), press the sleeve from the valve
body. Take care not to damage the sleeve.
At this point, inspect the o-rings on the sleeve for nicks, tears or abrasions. Damage of this sort could
happen during assembly or servicing. A sheared or cut o-ring can allow the pump’s compressed air supply
to leak or bypass within the air valve assembly, causing the pump to leak compressed air from the pump
air exhaust or not cycle properly. This is most noticeable at pump dead head or high discharge pressure
conditions.
Replace any of these o-rings as required or set up a routine, preventive maintenance schedule to
do so on a regular basis. This practice should include cleaning the spool and sleeve components with a
safety solvent or equivalent, inspecting for signs of wear or damage, and replacing worn components.
Reassembly of the Air Valve
To re-install the sleeve and spool set, lightly lubricate the o-rings on the sleeve with an o-ring
assembly lubricant or lightweight oil (such as 10 wt. air line lubricant).
Re-install one end cap, gasket and bumper on the valve body.
Using the arbor press or bench vise that was used in disassembly, carefully press the sleeve back
into the valve body, without shearing the o-rings. You may have to clean the surfaces of the valve body
where the end caps mount. Material may remain from the old gasket. Old material not cleaned from this
area may cause air leakage after reassembly.
Take care that the bumper stays in place allowing the sleeve to press in all the way.
Reinstall the spool, opposite end cap, gasket and bumper on the valve body.
After inspecting and cleaning the gasket surfaces on the valve body and intermediate, reinstall the
valve body on the pump using new gaskets.
Tighten the four hex head cap-screws evenly and in an alternating cross pattern.

by turning it in a counterclockwise direction.
• “AirVantage CAUTION” – Do not loosen or tighten the regulator by turning the knurled portion
of the unit. Place the slip-joint pliers on the smooth area underneath the knurled area of the
regulator.
Step #7: Reinstallation
• Reinstall the top cover, making sure the o-ring seal is still in the groove. Tighten the four 10-32 screws.
• Reinstall the AirVantage using the four 5/16-18 x 5 ½ cap screws and torque to 90 in-lbs.
• “AirVantage CAUTION” – Be sure to reattach the patch cable connector that connects the
AirVantage module to the intermediate.
• Refer to Page 28 for Illustration
Note: Ensure all mating faces are free from scores or damage prior to re-assembly.
Check each metallic face joint with a 0.003” feeler gage to ensure all ange
faces are fully closed after assembly. Failure to do so may compromise the
ameproof design of the assembly.
Step #5: Access the Control Module
• Use a 5/32 hex-key wrench and loosen the two 10-32 x 1.00 socket head cap screws securing the
control module to the poppet assembly. The control module should now be loose. Carefully lift the
control module off the poppet assembly, making sure that the solenoid valve connector wire slips
through the hole in the poppet valve assembly.
• The Poppet valve assembly can now be replaced.

AirVantage Servicing - Check Valve
AirVantage - Check Valve Assembly
To service the check valve, rst shut off and bleed the air being supplied to the pump. For safety
purposes the air supply line should be disconnected from the pump. Then shut off the suction
and discharge lines to the pump. Bleed the pressure from the pump suction and discharge
lines and remove the lines from the pump. During the servicing of the AirVantage, consult the
“AirVantage Composite Repair Parts Drawing” (Page 11)
Step #1: Remove the Patch Cable
Twist the ribbed portion of the patch cable connector in the counterclockwise direction, until it
un-threads from the connector. The cable can be either be removed from the intermediate or
from the control module.
Step #2: Remove the AirVantage from the Pump
Use a ½” socket and remove the four 5/16 x 5 ½ cap screws that hold the AirVantage to the
pump. Remove the two chamber bolts/nuts that are holding the right side bracket to be able to
remove the right bracket and the AirVantage unit from the pump. Be sure to support the weight
of the AirVantage while removing the last cap screw. After the AirVantage is removed from the
pump, set the unit down on the plastic cover located on the bottom. Inspect the o-ring between
the poppet valve and adapter plate for damage.
Step 3: Remove the Check Valve from the Pump
Use a ½” socket and remove the four 5/16 x 2 ½ cap screw that holds the check
valve to the pump.
Step 4: Inspect Check Valve
Using a 1 ¼” open socket wrench, remove the cartridge valve. Inspect o-rings and mechanism
for any signs of wear, degradation, or damage. If any is present, replace with new cartridge valve
assembly. Remove any remaining uid contamination on inside of body and/or cartridge valve.
Be careful not to lose the large and small o-rings on either face of the check valve body.
Step 5: Re-assembly of Check Valve
Apply a thin layer of white lithium grease to the threads on the valve cartridge. Insert cartridge
valve into body and hand-tighten being careful not to pinch o-ring. Using a 9” torque wrench
with crow-foot, torque cartridge vale to 250 in-lbs. Re-apply o-rings, as necessary, to both faces
of check valve. After applying Blue Loctite 248, 222 (or equivalent) secure check valve back to
pump with four 5/16 x 2 ½ cap screws, re-torque to 90 in-lbs.
To secure the AirVantage, re-install the four 5/16 x 5 ½ cap screws, torquing to 90 in-lbs. Reinstall Patchcable.

Grounding The Pump
One eyelet is fastened to the pump hardware.
One eyelet is installed to a true earth ground.
(Requires a 5/16 or 8mm maximum diameter bolt)
This 8-foot long (244 centimeters) Ground Strap, part number
920-025-000, can be ordered as a service item.
To reduce the risk of static electrical sparking, this pump must
be grounded. Check the local electrical code for detailed
grounding instruction and the type of equipment required.
WARNING
Take action to prevent static
sparking. Fire or explosion can
result, especially when handling
flammable liquids. The pump,
piping, valves, containers or other
miscellaneous equipment must
be grounded.
rhdb2dl1sm_haz duty-rev0614 Model RHDB2 Hazardous Duty Page 31
PUMPING HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
• When a diaphragm fails, the pumped liquid or fumes enter the air end of the pump. Fumes
are exhausted into the surrounding environment. When pumping hazardous or toxic
materials, the exhaust air must be piped to an appropriate area for safe disposal. See
illustration #1 at right.
• Piping used for the air exhaust must not be smaller than 1" (2.54 cm) diameter. Reducing
the pipe size will restrict air ow and reduce pump performance. When the pumped
product source is at a higher level than the pump (ooded suction condition), pipe the
exhaust higher than the product source to prevent siphoning spills. See illustration #2 at
right.
CONVERTING THE PUMP FOR PIPING THE EXHAUST AIR
• The following steps are necessary to convert the pump to pipe the exhaust air away from
the pump.
• Remove the mufer. The air distribution valve has 1" NPT threads for piped exhaust.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE:
• The manufacturer recommends installing a exible conductive hose or connection
between the pump and any rigid plumbing. This reduces stresses on the molded threads
of the air exhaust port. Failure to do so may result in damage to the air distribution valve
body.
• Failure to support these connections could also result in damage to the air distribution
valve body.
