4.0How To Install the C-1500N
Note: All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult an expert before installing
the C-1500N into specialized systems.
The C-1500N should be serviced by qualified persons only.
4.1Mounting Location
Choose an area located near the chemical supply tank, chemical injection point and electrical supply.
Although the pump is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, a cool, dry, well ventilated location is
recommended. Install the pump where it can be easily serviced.
!
Mount the pump to a secure surface or wall using the enclosed hardware. Wall mount to a solid surface
only. Mounting to drywall with anchors is not recommended.
!
Keep the outlet (discharge) tubing as short as possible. Longer tubing increases the back pressure at the
pump tube.
!
Do not mount the pump directly over your chemical container. Chemical fumes may damage the unit.
Mount the pump off to the side or at a lower level than the chemical container.
!
Mounting the pump lower than the chemical container will gravity feed the chemical into the pump. This
“flooded suction” installation can reduce the time required to prime the pump. Install a shut-off valve,
pinch clamp or other means to halt the gravity feed to the pump during servicing.
!
Your solution tank should be sturdy. Keep the tank covered to reduce fumes.
!
Be sure your installation does not constitute a cross connection with the drinking water supply. Check
your local plumbing codes.

4.3.1Inlet Tubing - Locate the inlet fitting of the pump head, see fig 4.6. Remove the tube nut. Push the
clear PVC suction tubing onto the compression barb of the fitting. Use the tube nut to secure the tube.
Hand tighten only.
4.3.2Footvalve/Strainer -Trim the inlet end of the suction tubing so that the strainer will rest in a vertical
position, approximately one inch from the bottom of the solution tank. This will prevent sediment from
clogging the strainer. Loss of prime may occur if the footvalve is permitted to lay on the bottom of the
solution tank in a horizontal position. Slip the ceramic weight over the end of the suction tube. Press
the footvalve/strainer into the end of the tube. Secure the ceramic weight to the strainer. Drop the
strainer into the solution tank.
4.3.3Outlet Tubing - Locate the outlet fitting of the pump head, see fig 4.6. Remove the tube nut. Push the
opaque outlet (discharge) tubing onto the compression barb of the fitting. Use the tube nut to secure the
tube. Hand tighten only.
Trim the other end of the outlet tube leaving only enough slack to connect it to the Injection/Check valve
Fitting (see below). Increasing the length of the outlet tube increases the back pressure at the pump head,
particularly when pumping viscous fluids.
Keep the inlet and outlet tubes as short as possible.

4.3.4Injection/Check Valve Fitting Installation - The Injection/Check valve fitting is designed to install
directly into either 1/4” or 1/2” female pipe threads.
Install the Injection/Check valve directly into the tee fitting. Do not install the fitting into a pipe stud
and then into the tee. The solution must inject directly into the flow stream.
Use Teflon thread sealing tape on the pipe threads. Push the opaque outlet (discharge) tubing onto the
compression barb of the Injection/Check valve fitting. Use the tube nut to secure the tube. Hand tighten
only.
Injection/Check valve fitting fitting will require periodic cleaning, especially when injecting fluids that
calcify such as sodium hypochlorite. These lime deposits and other build ups can clog the fitting
increasing the back pressure and interfering with the check valve operation. See section 6.0.

5.0How To Operate The C-1500N
5.1Adjusting the Pump Output- Standard models (fig. 5.1) - The C-1500N flow rate can be adjusted
within a range of 5% -100% of maximum output (20:1 turndown ration) by means of a mechanical, cam
type mechanism. The mechanism adjusts the pump’s stroke length to an infinite number of settings
within the flow range. Because the pump’s output is reduced by increasing the pressure of the system
being injected into, the amount of suction lift, and the viscosity of the fluid being injected, the pump
must be over-sized to allow for these factors. Sizing the pump to allow adjustment within the midrange
is preferred to maintain accuracy. Consult the factory for individual pump model output curve data.
To adjust the pump’s output:
1. With the pump running, loosen the set screw.
2. Turn the adjustment knob to the desired setting.
3. Re-tighten the set screw.
5.2Adjusting the Pump Output - DELUXE Models (fig. 5.2)
In addition to the cam type mechanism adjustment (section 5.1), the pump output of the C-1500N deluxe
unit equipped with an optional electronic cycle timer board can also be fine tuned by adjusting the timer
adjustment knob. The total-time cycle is factory preset and is not user adjustable. The on-time cycle is
adjustable from 5% to 100% of the total cycle time. Example: If the total-time cycle is 5 seconds and the
on-time cycle is adjusted for 20 percent, the pump will run for 1 second and turn off for 4 seconds (5
second total cycle). This cycle is repeated until either the cycle time is changed or the input power is
disconnected from the pump.

5.3 Measuring the Pump’s Output - Volumetric Test.
This volumetric test will take into account individual installation factors such as line pressure, fluid
viscosity, suction lift, etc. This test is the most accurate for measuring the injector’s output in an individual installation.
1. Be sure the Injection Fitting and Footvalve/Strainer is clean and working properly.
2. With the injector installed under normal operating conditions, place the Footvalve/Strainer in a large
graduated cylinder.
3. Fill the graduated cylinder with the solution to be injected and run the injector until all air is removed
from the suction line and the solution enters the discharge tubing.
4. Refill the graduated cylinder, if necessary, and with the Footvalve completely submerged in the
solution, note the amount of solution in the graduated cylinder.
5. Run the injector for a measured amount of time and note the amount of fluid injected. A longer testing
time will produce more accurate results.
6.0How to Maintain the C-1500N
6.1Routine Inspection and Maintenance
The C-1500N requires very little maintenance. However, the pump and all accessories should be
checked regularly. This is especially important when pumping chemicals. Inspect all components for
signs of leaking, swelling, cracking, discoloration or corrosion. Replace worn or damaged components
immediately.
Cracking, crazing, discoloration and the like during the first week of operation are signs of severe
chemical attack. If this occurs, immediately remove the chemical from the pump. Determine which
parts are being attacked and replace them with parts that have been manufactured using more suitable
materials. The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for damage to the pump that has been
caused by chemical attack.
6.2How to Clean the C-1500N
The C-1500N will require occasional cleaning, especially the Injection fitting, the Footvalve/Strainer,
and the pump head valves. The frequency will depend on the type and severity of service..
]
When changing the diaphragm, the pump head chamber and pump head cover should be wiped free of
any dirt and debris.
]
Periodically clean the injection/check valve assembly, especially when injecting fluids that calcify such
as sodium hypochlorite. These lime deposits and other build ups can clog the fitting, increase the back
pressure and interfere with the check valve operation. See section 4.3.4. Fig. 4.8.
]
Periodically clean the suction strainer. Fig.4.7
]
Periodically inspect the air vents located under the motor compartment and under the pump head. Clean
if necessary.
