Roller Pumps
Select: Flow Constant
To determine the flow constant (FC) for a nonstandard PVC or silicone tubing size,
set the flow rate display to show speed in RPM and stabilize flow through a water
circuit with the pump speed above 30 RPM and the water near the intended delivery
temperature.
1. Measure the output for a set period of time and then divide the volume collected
(milliliters) by the elapsed time (minutes) to determine the flow rate.
2. Divide this flow rate by the speed (RPMs) to get the volume pumped per
revolution.
3. Repeat these steps several times, averaging the results.
4. Multiply the volume pumped per revolution by 10 to get the flow constant (FC).
To enter a nonstandard tubing size:
1. Press the Select button when SELECT: FLOW CONSTANT is highlighted.
2. "KNOB: CHANGE FC" is displayed in the message area.
3. Use the knob to adjust the flow constant to the desired value.
4. Press the Select button to save the new flow constant.
5. When selection is made, the main pump menu is displayed.

Continuous Mode

This is the basic functional mode of the roller pump. Exiting any other operating mode
will put the roller pump into the Continuous mode.
Initiate Continuous Mode
Pressing the Start/Stop button on the front panel or the Start button in the Pump
Control Box on the CCM will activate Continuous mode. Within this mode, the pump
may be configured via the CCM to display the RPM or flow rate as the primary
display.
Continuous Operation
During use, the pump flow or speed can be adjusted by using the pump speed control
knob or the pump control slide bar on the CCM.
