INSTALLATION
Avoid product lines longer than 15 ft. [4.5 m] between the pump outlet and the point of injection. Long runs can
cause increased pressure in the pump heads which cause the pump to pull more electrical current and may raise
the temperature of the injection pump motor and integrated motor control node. See Chapter 6, Injection
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting, for details on injection system diagnostics and to monitor pump pressure and
node temperature.
PLUMB THE SIDEKICK PRO™ ISO CLOSED CALIBRATION SYSTEM
The Sidekick Pro™ ISO closed calibration system provides an environmentally effective method of calibrating the
injection pump without exposing the operator to dangerous or hazardous chemicals.
PUMP CALIBRATOR
To provide accurate calibration of the injection pump, the pump calibrator (P/N 063-0172-822) must be installed
directly onto the outlet of the pump. This configuration prevents air from getting trapped between the injection
pump and the calibration plunger. Trapped air will cause the plunger to feel “spongy” when pressed and will cause
the pump calibrator to work improperly.
3-WAY VALVE
A 3-way valve must be plumbed after the closed calibration system to allow chemical to be directed either back to
the chemical tank or to the point of injection.
HOSES
Use chemically resistant hose compatible with the chemicals which will be used with the injection system. Follow
the same hose specifications as described in the Pump Outlet section on page 22 with the closed calibration
system.
RECIRCULATION CHECK VALVE
A recirculation and priming check valve (P/N 333-0011-100) must be plumbed into the recirculation line between
the 3-way valve on the outlet side of the injection pump and the chemical tank. This check valve is required to
allow air to bleed off during priming of the injection pump. The recirculation and priming check valve is also
necessary to allow the system to detect if the pump is primed. See Figure 1 on page 13.
NOTE: The recirculation check valve has a 0.046” dia. hole in the poppet to allow air to pass. This check valve
applies 12 PSI [83.74 kPa] to the pump during priming.
5-200 oz./min. 1/2”
CAUTION
Hoses used on the outlet of the injection pump
must be re-enforced, chemically resistant hose
rated for at least 150 PSI at 100° F [1034 kPa at 66°
C].
