Solenoid Pump Instructions
valve/strainer to the suction valve on the pumper.
Do not install the foot-valve/strainer at this time.
Here, the clear vinyl tubing may be used when
not feeding acids. This tubing is not suitable
for acids.
Drain Tubes
The universal IPF and priming IPF each have a
priming vent fitting. The vent is opened by
unscrewing the knurled priming vent knob. This is
done only to prime the pumper and to vent air
from the discharge line. Never open the vent more
than two turns, because once the air is gone,
liquid will come out the vent (possibly with great
force). For this reason the vent is made to attach
a 3/8" O.D. drain tube. The priming IPF does not
have a retaining nut for the vent tube. Route this
tube to a suitable catch container.
The universal IPF also has a leakage drain. Liquid
will come out this drain only when the internal
diaphragm ruptures. Attach a tube to this drain
and route the other end to a suitable catch
container.
Attaching tubes to these vents
and drain is especially important
when pumping hazardous
chemicals such as acids.
There is also a prime valve on the
back of the solenoid pump. A drain line should be
connected to this as well with the other end routed
to a suitable container to collect any waste.
Electricity and Wiring
Warning! Disconnect power to the
controller and pump before making
any electrical connections.
Solenoid pumps require 120VAC, 60hz, 0.6 amps,
0.066kw. Do not remove the grounding terminal
on the plug.
Model ‘P’ with J Advanced Controller
When connecting pump models ‘SP-XXP’ to the J
advanced controller, the pump is connected to a
pump output. ‘P’ models cannot be used with
legacy J+ controllers.
First, choose an output to connect the pump and
make sure the jumper is set to the ‘Solenoid
Pump’ Position.
Warning! Failure to properly set the
jumper position will damage the
solenoid pump and require factory
repair.
Next, wire the red ‘2’ wire from the solenoid pump
to the #2 position on the proper output. Wire the
black ‘GND’ wire to the any of the positions on the
‘GND’ terminal block of the J Advanced output
board. Refer to the J Advanced manual for
configuring the pump output.
Model ‘M’ with Legacy J+ Controller
When connecting pump models ‘SP-XXM’ to the
J+ controller, the pump is connected to the water
meter terminals and shares the pulse signal from
the water meter with the J+ controller.
First, loosen the 3 connections on the water meter
terminal block. On newer J+ models, the terminal
block can be unplugged to ease making
connections.
Next, make sure the water meter wires are
inserted into the proper connectors on the
terminal block. Make sure the numbers on the
wires match the numbers on the terminal block.
For the water meter wire, black connects to #1,
white connects to #2 and red connects to #3.
