LAGOA LG range is designed with an interrupted stroke mechanism, and diaphragm
pumphead. This technology has been chosen to suit fluid dosing applications.
An electric motor drives an eccentric through a reducing gear and worm, connected to
connecting rod, linked to the diaphragm. A simple rotation of the eccentric, gives the
diaphragm’s motion, thus generating a capacity.
A mechanical device enables the capacity to be modified, and therefore the flow adjustment.
This device consists in a stroke interruption ; the stroke length can be adjusted thus
modifying the connecting rod motion, while the eccentric freely rotates in the connecting rod.
Direction of Rotation
The direction of rotation is indicated by an arrow affixed to the drive.

1.3 Installation of Equipment
The pump must be secured to a horizontal support via its mounting holes. It is important to
leave enough space around the pump to allow access for maintenance and adjustment.
Avoid installing the pump in areas where the ambient temperature might be below -5°C or
above 60°C. For an outdoor installation, it is advisable to arrange a shelter above the
equipment.
PCM can advise you or supply the accessories described below in kit or assembly form.
Please consult our Customer Service Department.

Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve is a means of protecting the dosing pump as well as the
installation. It is connected in parallel on the discharge circuit, as near as possible to the
pump after the pulsation damper and before a loading or other valve, and allows tank return
or drainage when accidental excess pressure occurs.
Pulsation Damper
Dosing pumps deliver pulsed outputs. Undesirable effects may therefore be observed
during operation (hammer blows, large head losses, sensor measurement problems). To
bring these pulsations down to an acceptable level, it might be necessary to place a
pulsation damper at the pump discharge. This will damp the variations by about 95%.
Because the spurious forces associated with pulsations are directly proportional to pipe
length, and inversely proportional to pipe diameter, this accessory is essential for very long
or complicated installations. Nonetheless, it is necessary to install a loading valve after the
pulsation damper to linearise the flow rate in a low-head loss system. If placed at the
suction lift end, it can also improve the pump suction lift capacity in the event of large head
losses.
Loading Valve
The loading valve is an installation accessory to be placed at the discharge. Its purpose is
to compensate for the main problems encountered when incorporating a dosing pump in a
process. In particular, it allows capacity overloads (related to the inertia of the column of
liquid), siphoning (caused by a higher pressure head at the suction end than at the
discharge), and underloads (when the minimum pressure head required for the installation
to operate properly is not present) to be avoided, and allows discharge to be completely
eliminated for a 0% setting, and linearisation of the flow rate with respect to the adjustment
value. The ideal tare pressure is 3 bars.
Pressure Gauge
A pressure gauge may be installed on the discharge pipe near the pump, to allow visual
monitoring of pressure in the installation.
Filter
A filter eliminates particles from the liquid being pumped which could be harmful to correct
operation of the pump suction and discharge check valves.
Foot Valve
The foot valve maintains a column of liquid at the suction lift end of the pump, to prevent
drainage of the pump during a halt.

Advice to Ensure Correct Pump Operation
Fig.1 The pressure, whether manometric or artificial, at the discharge must under no
circumstances be lower than the pressure at the suction end (minimum differential 1 bar,
ideal differential 3 bars).
Fig.2 Increase the geometric height of the discharge, or install a loading valve downstream of
the pump to create the required counter-pressure.
Fig.3 For long pipes, it is advisable also to insert a pulsation damper as near as possible to the
pump.

Fig.4 Swan-neck pipework does not increase the pressure at the discharge, but causes
siphoning which is harmful to discharge rate accuracy.
Fig.5 If the configuration shown in Fig.1 cannot be avoided, install a loading valve at the pump
discharge.

Sharp bends, excessively small pipe diameters, and complicated circuits may disturb
hydraulic operation.
Page 12
: +33 (0)1 41 08 15 15 : +33 (0)1 41 08 15 00 : www.pcm.eu
Fig.7 Whenever possible, use large-radius bends and large-diameter pipes, especially
upstream of the pulsation damper if one is to be installed.
Fig 7
Several valves at the discharge, without any protection on the circuit, often cause errors
leading to bursting of the pump or pipes.
Fig.8 Include a pressure relief valve to protect the pump or, even better, a pulsation damper and
a pressure relief valve.
Fig 8
Fig.9 Supply by siphon changes pump capacity when the loading height varies, and creates a
self-priming problem.
Fig.10 Connect to the bottom of the tank if possible. For substances prone to settling, connect
10 or 20 centimetres above the bottom of the tank.
Fig.11 For substances prone to degassing, install a short, rising pipe on the pump. If this is not
possible, install a degassing pot.

_ Remove the pumpheads (see 3.5.2.1).
_ Loosen the stroke adjustment screws, and remove the stroke adjusters.
Note: At this stage of disassembly, remove any remaining grease from inside
the casings, to continue disassembling the mechanism without
nuisances.
On this multiplex pump, it is important to distinguish between the two types of mechanism
on each pumphead.
They are distinguished as follows, when looking at the pump facing the pumphead:
_ The head on the far left is controlled by a driven mechanism.
_ The other heads, located between the driven mechanism and the drive, are
controlled by driving mechanisms.
Important: Isolate the parts of each mechanism separately.
Disassembly of the Driven Mechanism
Note: At this stage of disassembly, remove remaining grease from inside the
casing, to allow continued disassembly without nuisance.
And IMPORTANT, make sure to install the tool ref.PR9001A000 or
equivalent on the connecting rod head as appropriate, to avoid any
difficulty. See below for detail :

_ Turn the drive shaft using the motor fan to gain access to the head of the dog point
setscrew via the rear of the casing.
_ Loosen the dog point setscrew located on the eccentric, and remove.
_ Remove the bearing cover from the side of the casing by tapping on one side to make
it rock.
_ Remove the internal circlip.
_ Pull on the drive shaft using the tapped hole intended for this purpose.
Note: Special tools can be supplied by PCM. Please contact our Customer
Service Department.
Turn the hand wheel anticlockwise, while holding the tie rod securely, to avoid the tie rod
to come out of the connecting rod. This could eject the connecting rod and the spring out
of the casing, and cause severe injury.
_ After fully relieving the spring, unscrew the tie rod from the connecting rod, and remove
the mechanism from the casing.
_ Remove the roller bearing from the drive shaft.
_ Separate the eccentric assembly from the connecting rod and loosen the spring from
the casing.
_ Loosen the front spacer mounting screws, and remove the spacer, protective bellows
and the stop spring from the casing.
_ Remove the two circlips from the eccentric assembly, and remove the roller bearing.
_ Loosen the mounting screws of the next mechanism, and remove the casing.
