Do not modify or use in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the operating manual.
Keep the pump protected from sun and water. Avoid water splashes.
In emergencies the pump should be switched off immediately. Disconnect the power
cable from the power supply.
When using pump with aggressive chemicals observe the regulations concerning the
transport and storage of aggressive fluids.
When installing always observe national regulations.
Manufacturer is not liable for any unauthorized use or misuse of this product that may
cause injury, damage to persons or materials.
Pump must be accessible at all times for both operating and servicing. Access must
not be obstructed in any way.
Feeder should be interlocked with a no-flow protection device.
Pump and accessories must be serviced and repaired by qualified and authorized
personnel only.
Before any operation:
• always read chemical Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS);
• always wear protective clothing;

1. Introduction
Introduction:
Metering Pumps “VMS MF” Series are the ideal solution for low / middle dosing of chemicals. All control and setup parameters
are available through a digital keyboard and they are displayed on a LCD backlit display. Pump has “Level” input ,
Pump’s capacity
Flow rate is determined by the stroke speed (frequency) adjustment.
However dosing accuracy is guarantee within an adjustment range from 30% to 100%.
Working modes:
Pump can work in differents ways. See related chapters for extended description of each single mode.
CONSTANT mode.
Pump doses at a constant rate set in “SPH” (strokes for hour), “SPM” (strokes for
minute) or “LPH” (litres per hour) parameters set during program session.
DIVIDE mode.
External pulses from a water meter are divided by a value set during program
session. The pump doses with a rate determined by this parameter.
MULTIPLY mode.
External pulses from a water meter are multiplied by a value set during program
session. The pump doses with a rate determined by this parameter.
PPM mode.
Dosing rate is determined by pulses from a water meter on the base of set PPM,
chemical product concentration (%) and quantity for each single stroke set during
program session.
PERC mode
Dosing rate is determined by pulses from a water meter on the base of set PERC
(%), chemical product concentration (%) and quantity for each single stroke set
during program session.
MLQ mode
Dosing rate is determined by pulses from a water meter on the base of set MLQ
(milliliters per quintal), chemical product concentration (%) and quantity for each
single stroke set during program session.
BATCH mode.
Signal from an external contact starts the pump to dose the set quantity.
VOLT mode.
Voltage from an external device drives the pump that doses proportionally using a minimum and
maximum of strokes for minute set during program session (0 ÷ 10 VDC).
mA mode.
Current from an external device drives the pump that doses proportionally using
a minimum and maximum of strokes for minute set during program session

4. Before to Install warnings
Pump’s installation and operativity is made in 4 main steps:
Pump’s installation
Hydraulic Installation (hoses, level probe, injection valve)
Electrical Installation (main power connection, priming)
Programming the pump.
Before to start, please read carefully the following safety information.
Protective clothes
Wear always protective clothes as masks, gloves, safety glasses and
further security devices during ALL installation procedure and while
handling chemicals.
Installation location
Pump must be installed in a safety place and fixed to the table / wall to
avoid vibration problems!
Pump must be installed in a easy accessible place!
Pump must be installed in vertical position!
Avoid water splashes and direct sun!
Hoses and Valves
Suction and delivery hoses must be installed in vertical position!
All hoses connections must be performed using only hands’ force!
No tongs required!
Delivery hose must be firmly fixed to avoid suddenly movements
that could damage near objects!
Suction hose must be shorter as possible and installed in vertical
position to avoid air bubbles suction!
Use only hoses compatibles with product to dose! See chemical
compatibility tabl.
If dosing product is not listed please consult full compatibility table or
contact chemical’s manufacturer!
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 no-
flow as these conditions may introduce the potential for chemical overdosing.
Not doing so may result in elevated chemical concentrations and hazerdous
gas introduction into the pool or spa.
