5 Functional Description
5.1
Pump
The metering pump is an oscillating diaphragm pump, the stroke length of
which can be adjusted. An electric motor drives the pump. The slide rod
transmits the stoke motion to the diaphragms.
The stroke movement of the displacement body is continuously measured
and regulated so that the stroke is executed according to a previously set
dosing profile, see chapter
„Metering“
„setting“
.
The following dosing profiles are available:
n Normal
n Discharge opti.
n Suction opti.
Every metering profile is ineffective below the switch-
over frequency for Start/Stop mode.

With a discharge optimised dosing profile, the discharge stroke is elon‐
gated, the suction stroke is executed as quickly as possible. This setting is
for example suitable for those applications that require optimum mixing
ratios and as continuous as possible chemical mixing.
