PRECAUTIONS Plumbing Always adhere to your local plumbing codes and requirements. Be sure installation does not constitute a cross connection. Check local plumbing codes for guidelines. LMI is not responsible for improper installations. Back Pressure/Anti-Syphon Valve If you are pumping downhill or into low or no system pressure, a back pressure/anti- syphon device such as LMI’s Four-Function Valve should be installed to prevent over- pumping or syphoning.
INTRODUCTION 2.0 Introduction LMI is the world’s most versatile manufacturer of economical and efficient metering pumps. This manual addresses the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting proce- dures for manually and externally controlled pumps. LMI has a worldwide network of stocking representatives and authorized repair centers to give you prompt and efficient service.
UNPACKING CHECK LIST Unpacking Check List Your carton will contain many or all of the following items. Please notify the carrier immediately if there are any signs of damage to the pump or its parts. Metering Pump Foot Valve Tubing (0 to 3 Rolls) Ceramic Foot Valve Injection Check Four-Function Valve...
INSTALLATION 3.0 Installation Pump Location and Installation Locate pump in an area convenient to solution tank and electrical supply. The pump should be accessible for routine maintenance, and should not be operated in ambient temperatures above 113°F (45°C). If the pump will be exposed to direct sunlight, LMI black, UV resistant tubing should be installed.
INSTALLATION 3.2.2 Suction Lift - Wall Bracket Mount The pump may be mounted using an LMI Wall Mount Bracket Assembly (part no. 34643) directly above the solution tank. A pump mounted in this manner allows for easy chang- ing of solution tanks or drums. 3.2.3 Suction Lift - Tank Mount The pump may be mounted on a molded tank provided there is a recess to keep the pump stationary.
INSTALLATION Tubing Connections Use only LMI tubing. DO NOT USE CLEAR VINYL TUBING ON THE DISCHARGE SIDE OF THE PUMP. The pressure created by the pump can rupture vinyl tubing, which is only for connection to the return line of the FastPrime fitting.
INSTALLATION Four-Function Valves (4-FV) Your pump may be equipped with a 4-FV, or standard discharge valve. If your pump is not equipped with a four-function valve and you feel it is needed in your application, it can be purchased as an accessory. Contact your local LMI stocking distributor. The features of a 4-FV are listed below.
INSTALLATION Four-Function Valve Installation Discharge To install a 4-FV, the 4-FV Fitting and Coupling Nut should be 1/4" Through assembled with the appropriate cartridges into the discharge port 1/4" Tubing of the pump. Use a 13/16” or 20 mm socket to tighten fitting. Tight- Four-Function ening to 50 inch-pounds is recommended.
INSTALLATION AutoPrime™ The AutoPrime™ Liquid End is equipped with a valve that allows for constant removal of vapors and gasses inherent with effervescent chemicals such as Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrogen Peroxide. The valve keeps the pump primed automatically. When install- ing a pump equipped with an AutoPrime™...
INSTALLATION Foot Valve/Suction Tubing Installation The Foot Valve acts as a check valve to keep the pump primed in suction lift applications. The foot valve is designed to be submersed in the solution tank or drum and must sit in a vertical position at the bottom.
INSTALLATION Injection Check Valve and Discharge Tubing Installation The Injection Check Valve prevents backflow from a treated line. Install the injection check valve at the location where chemical is being injected into the system. Any size NPTF fitting or pipe tee with a reducing bushing to 1/2" NPTF will accept the injection check valve.
OPERATION 4.0 Operation Output Adjustment Controls 1. Power/Mode Selection Button: This button allows convenient starting and stopping of the pump. For pumps with external control capability (A3, A7, A8) this button switches pump operation between internal and external modes. When operating in internal mode the Pulse Indicator Light will flash green.
DETAIL D SCALE 5 : 1 OPERATION 7. External Control Connector (5-Pin): This connector is for the connection of various ➁ options and accessories that can be used to externally control the pump. The pin func- tions (and the wire color for the standard LMI external control cable) are as follows: 1.
OPERATION 4.2.2 Start-Up/Priming for Pump Supplied with 4-FV Read this entire section completely before proceeding. When all precautionary steps have been taken, the pump is mounted, and the tubing is securely attached, you may now start priming the pump. If the pump does 1.
OPERATION 4.3.1 Total Pump Output Calculate the approximate output of the pump as follows: When converting PUMP OUTPUT = MAX PUMP OUTPUT x % SPEED x % STROKE between different units, remember Example: A151-928SI these conversion factors: Use Max Output (from dataplate on side of pump) = 1 GPH (1 gallon per hour). 1 Gallon = 3.785 Liters If the pump is set at 60% speed and 70% stroke length, the approximate pump out-...
OPERATION 4.3.3 Calibration in External Mode 1. Since pump output is governed by an external device such as Flowmeter-Pulser, Liquitron Controller, or 4-20 mA DC signal from an instrument with an LMI ™ Analog-to-Digital Converter, only the output per stroke may be calibrated. It may be helpful 2.
OPERATION Methods of Externally Triggering or Pacing A3, A7, and A8 Pumps Method of Triggering A3, and A7 Pumps Through External Control Connector Switch or transistors must be capable of switching 24V DC at Blue 15 milliamperes. Minimum time in low impedance state (ON) is 1.
OPERATION 4.4.1 Control Modes 4.4.1.1 Local Mode • When in Local mode the A3 pump runs continuously at maximum speed. • When in Local mode A7 and A8 pumps run at the speed indicated by the speed knob. 4.4.1.2 Remote Mode (for A3, and A7) Pins 1 (brown wire) and 2 (white wire) must be connected/shorted together in order for The default the pump to respond to pulses in external mode.
MAINTENANCE 5.0 Spare Parts Replacement and Routine Maintenance LMI recommends replacing the elastomeric components of the pump on an annual basis. Refer to the LMI Metering Pump Price List for the proper Spare Parts Kit or RPM Pro kit number or contact your local LMI stocking distributor. ™...
MAINTENANCE Liquifram (Diaphragm) Replacement ™ ALWAYS wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working near or performing any maintenance or replacement on your pump.
