• Note for discharge-side installation: To protect the piping,
use a pulsation damper (8i) for rigid piping longer than
3 metres and tubing longer than 5 metres.
Fig. 9 Installation with discharge-side pulsation damper
• For degassing and viscous media: flooded suction.
• To protect the dosing pump and the discharge line against
excessive pressure build-up, install a relief valve (6i) in the
discharge line.

With open outflow of the dosing medium or a
counterpressure below 1 bar
• Install a pressure-loading valve (7i) immediately before the
outlet or the injection unit.
A positive pressure difference of at least 1 bar must be ensured
between the counterpressure at the injection point and the
pressure of the dosing medium at the pump suction valve.
• If this cannot be ensured, install a pressure-loading valve (7i)
in the discharge line.

• To avoid the siphon effect, install a pressure-loading valve (7i)
in the discharge line and, if necessary, a solenoid valve (14i) in
the suction line.

Warning
Risk of hot surfaces!
Pumps with AC motors may become hot.
Allow a minimum space of 100 mm to the fan cover!

5.3 Mounting

• Mount the pump horizontally on the tank or on a console using
four M8 screws.
• Replace the screw plugs by the deaeration screws supplied
with the pump.
Gently tighten the screws in order not to damage the
Caution
plastic enclosure!

5.4 Hose / pipe lines

5.4.1 General
Warning
To protect the dosing pump against excessive
pressure build-up, install a relief valve in the
discharge line.
Only use the prescribed line types!
All lines must be free from strain!
Avoid loops and buckles in the hoses!
Keep the suction line as short as possible to avoid
cavitation!
If necessary, use swept bends instead of elbows.
Observe the chemical manufacturer's safety
instructions when handling chemicals!
Make sure that the pump is suitable for the actual
dosing medium!
The flow must run in the opposite direction to gravity!
The resistance of the parts that come into contact
with the media depends on the media, media
temperature and operating pressure. Ensure that
Caution
parts in contact with the media are chemically
resistant to the dosing medium under operating
conditions!
