Installation
1. Unpacking
Open the shipping carton and inspect contents for damage. If any items are messing or damaged, contact
your local distributor to arrange for replacement.
2. Location
Choose a location for the pump which is clean, dry, close to an electrical outlet, and allows convenient
access to frequency control and tubing connections. Avoid areas where ambient temperature exceeds 40
deg.C or falls below 0 deg.C, or where the pump or tubing would be exposed to direct sunlight.
Flooded suction (mounting the pump below the level of liquid in the supply tank) is strongly recommended,
especially when pumping liquids that readily generate gas bubbles (See Figure 1). Sodium hypochlorite and
hydrogen peroxide are common examples of such liquids.
If flooded suction mounting is not possible, a shelf adjacent to (but not directly above) the supply tank often
works well (See Figure 2).
The supply tank or cover can also be used if it is provisions for mounting a pump (See Figure 3).
In any cases, the total suction lift should not exceed 1.0m.
