This document is an instruction manual for HIBLOW Air Pumps, specifically models HP-150 and HP-200, manufactured by TECHNO TAKATSUKI CO., LTD. The manual emphasizes the importance of reading it thoroughly for dependable service and effective operation, and advises keeping it for future reference. It also includes information on the company's ISO14001 and ISO9001 certifications, highlighting their commitment to environmental management and quality assurance, and their compliance with Japan's Product Liability Law.
The HIBLOW Air Pumps HP-150 and HP-200 are designed to provide a continuous supply of air, primarily for aeration purposes, such as in water-purifier tanks. The pumps operate on an electromagnetic vibrating system, which generates a magnetic force when the electromagnetic coils are energized by AC power (AC 100V/120V/220-240V). This magnetic force induces magnetic poles between permanent magnets fixed to a rod and the electromagnets, causing the rod to move in a reciprocating motion.
The rod vibrates at the AC power supply frequency (3,000 cycles/min for 50 Hz or 3,600 cycles/min for 60 Hz). This vibration, combined with the movement of a diaphragm, changes the volume of the space enclosed by the casing, leading to repeated cycles of air intake and compression. The air is then exhausted through a system of intake and exhaust valves.
A key feature of these pumps is the "Automatic Stop Mechanism." In the event of diaphragm damage, a safety popping switch automatically stops the pump. This mechanism is designed to prevent secondary failures that could arise from continued operation with a damaged diaphragm. The pump's structure is also entirely oil-less, meaning it has no sliding parts that require lubrication. This design ensures that the exhaust air is clean and oil-free.
The HIBLOW Air Pumps are designed for ease of use and installation, with specific precautions to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Installation: The pump should be installed in a well-ventilated location, free from the risk of inundation. It is recommended to install the pump unit close to an aeration tank, ideally within 5 meters. To minimize noise disturbance, installation in bedrooms or other sensitive areas should be avoided. The unit should be placed in an easily accessible spot for inspection and maintenance. Notably, these pumps are designed for outdoor use and do not require an additional cover.
For installation, a concrete foundation with a height of at least 10 cm from the ground is required, ensuring a flat and horizontal surface. Hard PVC tubes (VP-13 or VP-20) are specified for air piping. The pump unit must be placed horizontally on the foundation. The PVC tube is connected to the pump outlet using a supplied straight hose and firmly tightened with a hose band. If using VP-13, the small diameter end of the straight hose should be used.
Electrical safety is paramount, and the appliance must be grounded by a qualified electrician using the designated grounding terminal. A waterproof plug socket is required for pump use. Before turning on the pump, the water-purifier tank must be filled to the specified level.
Safety Warnings: The manual clearly distinguishes between "WARNING" and "CAUTION" labels. A "WARNING" indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in death or serious injury if not avoided. A "CAUTION" indicates a potentially hazardous situation that may result in minor or moderate injury or property damage. Users are advised to observe all precautions and recommendations.
The HIBLOW Air Pumps are designed for easy maintenance, with readily replaceable parts and straightforward cleaning procedures.
Filter Cleaning and Replacement: Regular filter maintenance is crucial for pump performance and longevity. Users should unplug the pump unit before any cleaning or replacement work. To remove the filter cover, fingers are placed on one side and pulled up. The filter can then be removed from the upper housing for cleaning or replacement. Dust and foreign matter should be removed from the filter inlet, mounting surface, and the filter itself. If heavily soiled, the filter can be washed with a neutral detergent, rinsed thoroughly with water, and dried out of direct sunlight before reinstallation. Filters should be cleaned every three months, as clogged filters can lead to abnormal heat generation or pump failure. Dust or foreign matter at the pump inlet can also cause abnormal noises or pump failure. When reinstalling the filter cover, it is important to align the fitting boss of the upper housing with its counterpart on the filter cover and press down firmly. Users are cautioned not to press the filter cover in an improper position, as this may cause damage. It is also explicitly stated that this pump is an oil-less type, and no oil or other liquids should be put into the pump inlet.
Replacing Repair Parts: Only designated genuine parts should be used for replacements. When performing any replacement work, the pump body may be hot, so it's essential to allow it to cool down to avoid burns.
Replacing Chamber Blocks: The manual provides detailed instructions for replacing chamber blocks, which include diaphragms and valves. Diaphragms and valves should be replaced once a year to maintain initial performance. When replacing chamber blocks, both blocks must be changed simultaneously to prevent significant life differences between the right and left-hand rubbers, which could impair pump performance.
The replacement process involves several steps:
Safety Automatic Stop Switch (SP Switch) Replacement: The SP switch is designed to stop the pump automatically if diaphragms are damaged. If the SP switch activates, both the safety pin and diaphragms must be replaced.
The manual also provides a list of repair parts with their names, components, applicable models, and order codes, facilitating easy identification and ordering of necessary components for maintenance.
