Startup

NOTE
On startup, vent the system as described in chapter
If the metering pipe can be shut off, an overflow valve (safety valve) should be installed on
the pressure side, which opens at the maximum permissible pressure level, in order to
protect the metering line. This may prevent the metering pipe from bursting in the event of
CAUTION
an operator error.
Under unfavourable conditions, the pressure may rise to up to three times the nominal
pressure.
After 24 hours or operation, the metering head screws are to be re-tightened diagonally
NOTE
with a torque of approximately 3-4 Nm.

Venting the metering pump

Particular caution is required when handling chemical metering media!
Metering media may escape which may cause skin irritation, depending on their properties.
WARNING
Therefore, before venting, always observe the product datasheet of the metering medium to
prevent any type of injury!
To ensure an optimal suction performance, the stroke length should be set to 100% and the
maximum stroke frequency.
NOTE
In the event that pump has no suction or insufficient suction, the correct connection must
be checked.
WARNING
It is only possible to modify the stroke length setting when the pump is running.
 Open the vent screw approximately 1 turn
 Hold a suitable collection vessel under the vent connection
(see chapter 5, "Setup", Fig. 5.1, Pos. 3).
 Press the Test key until the metering medium escapes from the venting outlet.
Hold down the Test key for a further 60 seconds to fill the pump head fully with the
product.
 Reclose the vent screw.
 Press the Test Key again until the metering medium is visible through the metering pipe,
until it reaches approximately 2 cm in front of the inoculation valve.
 Close the clear cover which protects the function keys, and seal it if necessary.
NOTE
If no metering medium enters the metering pipe, repeat the venting.

The metering rate is adjustable by means of mechanical stroke length
setting between 100% and 30% of the pump's rated capacity
(reproducible accuracy can no longer be guaranteed below 30%).
The adjustment is made via the stroke adjusting button and can only be
performed while the metering pump is in operation.
The capacity of the pump must be calibrated in order to determine the metering capacity
precisely. (see chapter 10.4
