Page 7: Chapter 1 Introduction
Introduction 1.1 Description The peristaltic pump offers exceptional simplicity, ease-of- use, and variable flow capacity. The pump is self-priming and non-siphoning. It prevents back flow since one of the three rollers is always compressing the tubing. As one section of a tube fatigues, simply move the tube along to an unused section and continue pumping. - Page 8 Introduction Notes...

Page 22: Chapter 4 Tubing Information
Tubing Information 4.1 Selecting Tubing Select a tubing material and size that is right for your application (the fluid and flow rate that you are pumping). Table 9-2 in Chapter 9, shows the average flow rates for different size tubing. Normalized flow rates (mL per revolution) vary significantly, based on motor speed, tubing materials, viscosity, and mechanical tolerances in pump dimensions. - Page 23 Tubing Information Notes...

Page 24: Operating
Operating the Pump 5.1 Introduction This chapter discusses the following topics: • Loading the tubing (Section 5.2) • Operating the Pump (Section 5.3) and • Adjusting the Clamp Screw (Section 5.4). Read each section thoroughly to guarantee successful pump operation. -
Page 25: Loading The Tubing
Operating the Pump 5.2 Loading the Tubing Before you load the tubing in the pump, make sure that power to the motor is turned off and that the rotor has come to a complete stop. The rotor is partially exposed when the pump is in the open position. - Page 26 Refer to Figure 5-1 and Figure D. Snap open the Stator (1) by pushing the spring-loaded area of the Latch (2). Remove any old tubing from the pump, if necessary. Refer to Figure 5-2 and Figure D. Loop the Tubing (10) over the rollers.

Page 27: Operating The Pump
Operating the Pump 5.3 Operating the Pump With the pump set up, adjust all control settings for the pump motor and start pumping. Figure 5-5 shows fluid flow directions with respect to motor directions. Extensive testing has shown that the minimum motor speed required to prime the tubing varies significantly with the size of the tubing. -
Page 28: Adjusting The Clamp Screw
Operating the Pump MOTOR TURNING CLOCKWISE OUTLET INLET Figure 5-5b. Inlet and Outlet Flow 5.4 Adjusting the Clamp Screw Once you start the pump, you may need to adjust the Clamp Screw (4) slightly, to prevent the tube from creeping (moving) through the pump. - Page 29 Operating the Pump Turn the pump motor off. Rotate the clamp screw a quarter turn clockwise, in order to increase the pressure of the clamp plate on the tube. Turn the motor power back on and observe the tubing. If the tubing has not stopped creeping, go back to Step 1.

Page 31: Chapter 6 Maintenance
Maintenance 6.1 Introduction • No lubrication is required for the pump. All bearings are pre-sealed and rated for long life. • After many hours of use, fine particles of tubing will tend to accumulate inside the pump and on the rollers. Use a high pressure air hose (60 PSI) to blow out most of the particles from the pump. -

Page 35: Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Guide
Troubleshooting Guide Problem No flow out of the outlet tubing Solution 1. Check to see that the Stator is snapped shut. If it is, push down on the Stator while the motor is running. This action enhances the self-priming capability of the pump. 2. - Page 36 Troubleshooting Guide Problem Fluid flows in the opposite direction of what is intended Fluid flow direction cannot be reversed The tube moves when pumping The Stator will not snap shut Screws are too short to fasten two stacked pumps to the motor Solution 1.
- Page 37 Problem Motor will not turn Motor will not turn – overcurrent condition The pump will not stay on the motor Troubleshooting Guide Solution 1. Make sure the tubing is loaded properly. The tubing should be centered in the middle of the rollers. Reload if necessary.

Page 39: Chapter 8 Technical Details
Technical Details 8.1 Theory of Operation A peristaltic pump is a fluid pump which operates to create a moving region of compression along a flexible tube. The motion of the compressed region of the tube along its axis forces fluid ahead and creates a partial vacuum behind the region. -
Page 40: Stacking More Than Two Pumps
Technical Details Because of the back tab and groove found in the Rotor Shaft design, pumps can be stacked one of top of another and attached to a common pump motor. Only one motor needs to be purchased to pump fluid between several different containers. -
