1. Preparation
Carry out the following preparatory steps when starting the pump operation for the first time after installation or after a
long-time suspension of the pump operation.
[1] Confirm that the electric wiring has been conducted correctly. (Wiring for proximity switch and electromagnetic
valve.)
Caution
Improper wiring may cause burned proximity switch.
[2] Confirm that the air piping has been connected correctly. Check for loose couplings.
[3] Confirm that the pump has been fixed firmly in place.
[4] Confirm that there is no loose coupling along the liquid piping.
[5] Confirm the valves on the suction and discharge piping are fully opened.
[6] Confirm that the tank or bath has been filled with liquid.
Caution
Never fail to conduct a trial run with pure water. Confirm that the trial run indicates no abnormal condition before
starting the practical operation of the pump.
[7] Confirm that the filter has been well dampened.
Caution
Follow the description in the instruction manual of the filter.
2. Pump Operation
During the trial run of the pump, flush the unit and piping at the same time. Following is a description of
the operation and adjustment of the pump using the AC-1 controller.
(For pump operation using the FD, SC or FDC-1 controller, refer to the instruction manual of respective
controller.)
2.1 Starting pump
[1] Supply air to the pump.
•
Set the regulator to a specified supply air pressure.
Caution
Set the supply air pressure within supply air pressure range.
•
Open the air supply valve.
Caution
Adjust the supply air valve so that the pump can not run at the speed exceeding the specified max. stroke rate.
[2] Turn on the power switch of the controller. The pump will start operation and the "Operation indicator" LED (blue)
on the controller will start flashing.
