DESCRIPTION

K PLUS K PLUS is a constant or proportional dosing pump with level control for chemical feeding into water.

In Constant dosing mode pump doses a constant quantity regularly as configured by the user.
In Proportional dosing mode pump doses a quantity proportionally to an input signal, digital (voltage
NSF/ANSI 61 free contact) or current (mA).

Working modes available:

• constant
• constant with 1-10 pulses divider
• multiplier with 1-10 pulses divider
• divider with 1-10 pulses divider
• divider with 1-100 pulses divider
• divider with 1-1000 pulses divider
• mA current signal (0/4 mA = 0 pulses: 20mA = max pulses)

Flow rate is determined by the stroke length and by the stroke speed. The stroke length is adjustable
from 0 to 100% using the stroke length adjustment knob. However dosing accuracy is guarantee
within an adjustment range from 30% to 100%.

K CO PLUS K CO PLUS works in constant mode.

The pump can be set to work in

• constant
NSF/ANSI 61
• constant with 1÷10 pulse divider.

K CL PLUS K CL PLUS works in constant mode and has got level control.

The pump can be set to work in

• constant
NSF/ANSI 61 • constant with 1÷10 pulse divider.

Self venting: KA is the K version with self-venting pump head.

KA PLUS Self-venting pump head must be used when using chemicals that produce gas (i.e. hydrogen peroxide,
ammonium, sodium hypoclorite at particular conditions).

WIRING
Preliminary The electrical wirings should be carried out by AUTHORIZED AND
checks QUALIFIED PERSONNEL only in accordance with local regulations.

Before to proceed, verify the following steps:

1. Verify the data on nameplate.

Make sure that the electrical data on the nameplate of the motor corresponds to the
electrical supply.

2. Verify the grounded power outlet.

The pump must be plugged to a grounded power outlet. Pump must be connected to a
motor protection switch (Residual Current Circuit Breaker - MCCB).

3. Install a relay switch. Do not install it in parallel with heavy inductance load (for
example: engines). See fig. 10.

Fig. 10. Electrical installation.

P - Dosing pump
R - Relay
I - Switch or safety device
E - Electrovalve or inductance load
A - Power supply

4. Verify peak Amps. 115 or 230 VAC pumps do not use motor overload protection.

Power supply
12 VDC connect the pump to a 55 Ah-12VDC battery
24 VDC connect the pump to a 200W stabilized power supply (verify
peak Amps)

5. Verify level probe “BNC” is connected as described in ⎘ “Foot filter / Level probe”..

16
Pump’s wiring Connect external signal “BNC”to pump “INPUT”.
This signal can be:
- water meter input
- mA signal input.

PRIMING

Warnings Feeder should be interlocked with a no-flow protection device to automatically

shut-off the pumps when there is no flow!

Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent cross connection of chemicals!

Chemical feeding must be stopped during backwash cycles and periods of noflow
as these conditions may introduce the potential for chemical overdosing. Not
doing so may result in elevated chemical concentrations and hazerdous gas intro-
duction into the pool or spa.

Never operate any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge.
You must take all necessary measures to avoid this condition.

Safety equipment
Use safety equipment according to the company regulations. Use this safety
equipment within the work area:
• Helmet
• Safety goggles (with side shields)
• Protective shoes
• Protective gloves
• Gas mask

Manual priming To prime the pump (only in CONSTANT working mode):

1. perform al pipings (delivery, suction and venting hose);
2. turn completely the venting knob to open discharge valve;
3. set STROKE LENGTH KNOB on 100% (for viscous liquids set between 50 and 70%);
4. supply the pump.
5. When the product will start to flow into venting hose, close the discharge valve turning the
knob (not for self-venting model).

For viscous liquids, to facilitate priming: insert a 20 cc syringe on venting pipe and suck;
When syringe is almost full close the discharge valve turning the knob..

Automatic 1. Turn OFF the pump.

priming
2. Keep pressed OFF key for 4 seconds.
3. Pump primes for 30 seconds.
4. Turn ON the pump.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance In order to ensure the requirements of potable drinking water treated and the
schedule maintenance of the improvements as declared by the manufacturer, this equipment
must be checked at least once a month.

OPERATOR PROTECTION
Use safety equipment according to the company regulations.
Use this safety equipment within the work area during installation, service and
when handling chemicals:
• protective mask
• protective gloves
• safety goggles
• ear plugs or hear muffs
• further security device, if necessary.

POWER SUPPLY DISCONNECTION

Always disconnect power to the motor before you perform any installation or
maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect power will result in serious physical
injury.

Installation and maintenance tasks should be carried out by AUTHORIZED AND

QUALIFIED PERSONNEL only in accordance with local regulations.

Use original spare parts.

Maintenance Shutdown the dosing pump before any maintenance operation ⎘ Shutdown
inspection procedure.

A maintenance schedule includes these types of inspections:

• Routine maintenance and inspoections
• Three-month inspections
• Annual inspections
Shorten the inspection intervals appropriately if the pumped chemical is abrasive or corrosive.

Routine maitenance and inspections

Perform these tasks whenever you perform routine maintenance:
• Inspect the seal. Ensure that there are no leaks from the mechanical seal.
• Check electrical wiring
• Check for unusual noise and vibration (noise allowed 74 dbA; ± 5 dB).
• Check the pump and piping for leaks.
• Check for corrosion on parts of the pump and / or on hoses.

Three-month inspections
Perform these tasks every three months:
• Check that the tightenings.
• Check the mechanical seal if the pump has been left idle.

Annual inspections
Perform these inspections one time each year:
• Check the pump capacity (as per nameplate).
• Check the pump pressure (as per nameplate).
• Check the pump power (as per nameplate).

27
 f the pump performance does not satisfy your process requirements, and the process requirements
have not changed, then perform these steps:
1. Disassemble the pump.
2. Inspect it.
3. Replace worn parts.

Shutdown This procedure should be carried out by authorized and qualified

procedure personnel

OPERATOR PROTECTION
Use safety equipment according to the company regulations.
Use this safety equipment within the work area during installation, service and
when handling chemicals:
• protective mask
• protective gloves
• safety goggles
• ear plugs or hear muffs
• further security device, if necessary.

Shutdown the dosing pump before any maintenance operation or before long downtimes.
Disconnect power and ensure it cannot be restarted.

Depressurize the system. The liquid may leak splashing.

Drain the chemical from pump head.

Release the pressure and disconnect the disharge pipe from the discharge valve.
Rinse the pump head and clean all valves.

COMPATIBILITY TABLE

Chemical Solenoid driven metering pumps are widely used to dose chemical fluids and it is important that the
compatibility most suitable material in contact with fluid is selected for each application. This compatibility table serves
table
as a useful help in this respect. All the informations in this list are verified periodically and believed to
be correct on the date of issuance. All the informations in this list are based on manufacturer’s data
and its own experience but since the resistance of any material depends by several factors this list is
supplied only as an initial guide, in no way manufacturer makes warranties of any matter respect to
the informations provided in this list.
