4.0 OPERATION
WARNING - Tube failure may result in uid being sprayed from pump. Use appropriate measures
to protect operator and equipment. Tubing should be inspected periodically for
tears, cracks, cuts, or abrasions.
WARNING - Use only factory approved tubing from the designated tubing class. Incorrect tubing
can adversely affect performance or damage the pump.
4.1 Controls
4.2 Adjusting Flow Output
Flow output is controlled by motor speed which is adjusted via a potentiometer (if equipped), or
through a digital terminal emulation program for models equipped with the serial control feature.
Fixed Speed - There is no ow output adjustment.
Variable Speed - Flow output is controlled by motor speed with a potentiometer or through digital
controls. Rates are adjustable from approximately 5% to 100%. If equipped with a 4-20mA control
option, pump speed will vary as the dedicated input signal changes amplitude. If equipped with
a serial control option, pump speed will vary by adjustments made via your terminal emulation
program.
Timed Dosing - ON TIME is set by a control interface up to the model’s maximum dispense time.
When the 3-way rocker switch is in the EXTERNAL/AUX position, the pump will dispense for the
selected ON TIME once per signal.
Serial Control - See Section 4.3 Remote Operations.
All pumps are equipped with a rocker switch mounted on the side of the pump. Always conrm
the switch is in the designated OFF position before plugging the pump into any power source.
3-Way Rocker - For units equipped with a 3-way rocker switch, left (to pump head) is full speed
ON mode, center is OFF, and right (to back of pump) is EXTERNAL/AUX.
Potentiometer - Variable speed models are equipped with either a single-turn or 10-turn
potentiometer to regulate pump speed. Timed dosing models are equipped with a 10-turn
potentiometer for control of ON time setting.
Momentary Button - Timed dosing models are equipped with a momentary button to test the ON
time setting for calibration purposes.
