1.1 Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Flowrox variable speed Peristaltic Metering Pump.

Your Flowrox pump is pre-congured for the tubing that shipped with your metering pump.

Your new pump has been pressure tested at the factory with clean water before shipping. You may notice trace amounts of clean water in the

pre-installed tube assembly. This is part of our stringent quality assurance program.

Flowrox FXM pumps are for industrial and laboratory applications. Only qualified personnel is allowed to install and operate the pump.

• The Flowrox Peristaltic Pump’s motor speed is linear over

the entire 0.02% to 100% adjustment range.

• Output versus pressure is nearly linear in all models.

Larger tubes exhibit greater losses.

• The pressure, temperature, operational speed, application

media and viscosity will affect hose lifetime.

• For optimum tube life, specify the pump so that it operates

at the lowest possible RPM and pressure.

* Inlet/outlet connection type:

blank = 3/8” OD x 1/4” ID tubing compressions type

connections (available on FXM2 only)

P = 1/2” MPT

1.5 Features

• Peristaltic pump design does not have valves that can

clog requiring maintenance.

• Self priming even against maximum line pressure.

By-pass valves are not required. Cannot vapor lock or

lose prime. Siphoning cannot occur.

• Output rates to: 840 liter/h and pressures up to 8.6 bars.

• No maintenance brushless variable speed motor.

• Specially engineered tubing for long life at high

pressures.

• Non-contact capacitive Tube Leak Detection (TLD)

system. Senses tube failure by detecting chemical in the

pump head. No false triggering.

• 5000:1 turndown ratio.

• SCADA Inputs include: 4-20mA, 0-10VDC, and Pulse

inputs for remote external speed control and 0-30 VDC /

contact closure remote start/stop.

• Operator friendly digital touch pad with menu driven

software.

• Multi-color backlit LCD displays remote/local control

status, motor speed, output rate, input signal values,

service and alarm status.

• Outputs include: Scalable 4-20mA or pulse, one

250V/6A relay and four 125VAC 0.5Amp / 30VDC

2Amp contact closures assignable to monitor up to 17

different pump functions including TLD, FVS, remote/

local control setting, motor on, fault, current operating

mode, and others.

• Two CNC precision machined squeeze rollers and two

alignment rollers for optimum squeeze, unparalleled

accuracy, and tube life.

• Heavy duty rotor - plastic rotor means no flexing and

increased accuracy (no metal springs or hinges to

corrode).

• Inject at maximum pressure in either direction

(clockwise and counter clockwise).

• Compatible with output Flow Verification Sensor (FVS)

system.

• Auto-restart feature which will restore pump to operating

state it was in when power was lost.

94FXM70EN - 8/2022

Enclosure Rating:

NEMA 4X: Constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to

provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental

contact with enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of

protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, windblown

which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING!

WARNING indicates a hazard with a medium level of

risk which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious

injury.

CAUTION!

CAUTION indicates a hazard with a low level of risk

2 Installation

Risk of chemical overdose. Make sure pump does not

overdose chemical during backwash and periods of no

flow in circulation system.

Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety

glasses and gloves when working on or near your

metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken

depending on solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS

precautions from your solution supplier.

All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only.

Always consult an expert before installing metering

pump on specialized systems. Metering pump should be

serviced by qualified persons only.

2.1 Mounting Location

Choose an area located near chemical supply tank, chemical

injection point, and electrical supply. Install pump where

it can be easily serviced. Note, Pump is not certied for

classied EX/ATEX areas

• Mount pump to a secure surface using fixing plate.

• Mount pump close to injection point. Keep inlet

(suction) and outlet (discharge) tubing as short as

possible. Longer discharge tubing increases back pressure

at pump head.

• A backflow prevention check valve is recommended at

the discharge of the pump to prevent system fluid from

flowing back through the pump during tube replacement

or if the tube should rupture.

• A pressure relief valve is recommended at the discharge

of the pump to prevent premature wear and damage to

the pump tube in the event the discharge line becomes

blocked.

• The FXM does not require back pressure. Pressure

regulator valves are not required. Keep the discharge

pressure as low as possible to maximize tube life.

• An anti-siphon valve is not required, siphoning cannot

occur.
