Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals Page 17 of 47 11 Air motors The air motor is designed for air only. Do not allow corrosive, flammable or explosive gases or particulate material to enter the motor. Water vapour, oil-based contaminants or other liquids must be filtered out.
Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals Page 18 of 47 11.3 Air motors: operation Do not drive an air motor with flammable or explosive gases nor operate the unit in an atmosphere containing them. Solid or liquid material leaving the motor can cause eye or skin damage. Keep away from the air stream.
Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals Page 20 of 47 12.2 520RC, 520R2C and 520REC: good pump installation practice General recommendations The pump may be set up so that the direction of rotor rotation is clockwise or counter- clockwise, whichever is convenient. Please note, however, that for the 520R and 501RL pumpheads tube life will be greater if the rotor rotates clockwise;...

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals Page 25 of 47 13.3 520REC: fitting the drain port The drain port is an optional extra, supplied with the pumphead. It is strongly recommended that users fit it before the pump is operated. This may be done with the rotor in position or removed.
Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals Page 26 of 47 13.4 520REC element loading 520RE tubing element pumpheads are factory-set to accept Watson-Marlow 2.4mm-wall tubing elements. Elements fitted with either quick-release industrial connectors or Tri-clamp sanitary connectors may be used; however, it is vital to match the pressure rating of the element with the pressure rating of the pumphead so that the correct roller- springing and occlusion settings are used.

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals Page 27 of 47 520REC element loading procedure Note: The element loading procedure is the same for industrial (pictured) and sanitary elements. Select an appropriate Watson-Marlow 520RE tubing element, paying attention to pressure capability, bore size, tubing material and type of connector. See the table above for pressure ratings.

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals Page 30 of 47 15 520RC, 520R2C and 520REC rotor settings 520RC, 520R2C and 520REC pumpheads are factory-set to give optimum tube life with Watson-Marlow tubing. Radial roller positions should not be adjusted in any circumstances as this will adversely affect pumphead performance and invalidate warranty. Tamper-proof rotor arm occlusion setting screws are fitted to warn operators from occlusion adjustment.
Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals Page 32 of 47 17 Flow rates Pumping conditions For precise and repeatable performance it is important to determine flow rates under operating conditions for each new piece of tubing. When rotating counter-clockwise, 520R, 520R2 and 520RE pumpheads' flow rates are directly proportional to rotor speed.
