1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 General Aalborg’s TPU and TPV model peristaltic pumps are designed for safety and long life. They are economical, easy to load, sturdy, and compact for a small footprint. Designed for use with liquids of widely diverse viscosity, they are suitable for laboratory, processing and OEM applications, even fuel with the appropriate tubing. CAUTION: PERISTALTIC PUMPS, INCLUDING MODELS TPU AND TPV, ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WITH BLOOD. THE ROLLER TECHNOLOGY CAN CAUSE HEMOLYSIS. 1.
The handle is practical both to carry the pump and, when rotated beneath the pump, to serve as a base that lifts and angles the pump face, making the controls even more easily accessible to the user. 1.2.1 TPU Models The TPU models are variable speed or fixed speed pumps. All versions have 4 rollers standard, with an option of 10 rollers. The fixed speed TPUFX, powered by an AC motor, is preset at the factory between 3 and 50 rpm, according to the customer’s order.
1.2.2 TPV Models The TPV models, which have a pump head with 3 rollers, are variable speed pumps, powered by a brushless 24 V DC motor, can be user-set from 0 to 300 rpm. Pumping direction is reversible. Figure 2: One Model TPV Pump: the TPVAD 1.2.3 TP1 & TP2 Pump Head Models The TP1 and TP2 models are stand alone pump heads with a safety cover. They are not equipped with control panel, motor or rigid case. The TP1 model has 4 rollers, while the TP2 model has 10 rollers.
2. UNPACKING THE PUMP 2.1 Inspect Package for Shipping Damage Before you open the cardboard carton that contains your order, carefully inspect the outside for any external damage that may have occurred during shipping. If there is any damage, report it immediately to the shipping company. 2.2 Unpack Your Order Carefully open the carton from the top. Save all packing materials for possible reuse for future storage or shipment.
3. PREPARATION & INSTALLATION 3.1 Installing Tubing in a TPU Pump If you have a TPV pump, skip to Section 3.2. The pumps can take tubing of 1/8-, 3/16-, ¼- and 5/16-inch inner diameter; all should have a wall thickness of 1/16 inch. Aalborg® recommends the use of the following flexible tubing: Tygon® 3603, peroxide-treated silicone, platinum-treated silicone, PharMed®, Norprene®, and Hypalon®.
GRAPH 2: TYPICAL TPU PUMP FLOW RATES (with 10 rollers) NOTE: Not all features are available on all TPU models. In particular, the speed adjustment knob and flow direction switch are not available on the fixed speed models. Figure 3 calls out the primary user-interface features of a TPU pump.

2. Unscrew the thumbscrew at the end of the occlusion clamp lever until the lever is loose enough to move. 3. Move the occlusion clamp lever to release all pressure from the occlusion clamp, opening the tubing channel. 4. Loosen the 2 black thumbscrews on the tubing separator, until the separator is free. 5. Lift the separator straight away from the pump face and set it aside. 6.
3.2 Installing Tubing in a TPV Pump The pumps can take tubing of ¼- , 5/16-, 3/8-, 7/16- and ½- inch inner diameter; all should have a wall thickness of 1/16 inch. Aalborg® recommends the use of the following flexible tubing: Tygon® 3603, peroxide-treated silicone, platinum-treated silicone, PharMed®, Norprene®, and Hypalon®.

When the subassembly is removed from the pump, each end block can be spun upward or downward independently on the turnbuckle. As shown in Figure 5, the end blocks are grooved on one side. These grooves fit onto the key ridge on the front plate in order to set the subassembly securely in place.
1. Remove the 4 thumbscrews from the transparent safety cover, then lift the cover away from the pump face and set it aside. 2. Loosen the turnbuckle rod between the top and bottom parts of the tubing holder subassembly, until the subassembly is movable. 3. Lift the tubing holder straight away from the pump face. 4. To load the tubing, begin to lay the tubing in the pump channel, with both ends on the righthand side. 5.
3.3 Installing the Pump Place the pump on a stable, even surface, and position it so the pump head and controls are easily accessible to the user. CAUTION: AFTER THE TUBING IS LOADED BUT BEFORE THE PUMP IS PRIMED OR RUN, REST THE PUMP SQUARELY ON ITS 4 RUBBER FEET, TO PREVENT LIQUID DRIPPING INTO THE PUMP HEAD OR ONTO THE CONTROLS. Once the pump has been primed, if desired, you can rotate the handle underneath the pump to serve as a base.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5.1 Powering On 1. After you verify that your power cord plug is suitable for your electrical supply, connect the cord to the back of the pump case, then plug it into your power outlet. 2. On the back of the pump, turn the on/off power switch ON. 3. If your pump has a Run/Brake switch, turning the switch to Run will turn the pump on. 5.
5.3 Programming the TPUDP MUR3 Timer (if present) The timer relay on this pump model can be set to two modes of operation, as explained with reference to Figures 6 & 7.
FIGURE 7: MUR3 TIMER CONTROLS 1 2 3 4 5 1 Start Timer button 2 Timer ON/OFF switch 3 Time Period knob 4 Multiplication knob 5 Relay timer Mode switch Single Shot Mode 1. Using an appropriate flathead screwdriver, dial the Time Period (white) knob to the desired position, then dial the Multiplication (blue) knob to the desired position. 2. To run once for the programmed time period, set the relay timer MUR3 Mode switch to B. 3.
NOTE: For TPUDP pumps, a Remote Start option is available using the 9-pin female D-connector located on the rear panel, via pins 1 and 5. Continuous Pulse Mode 1. Using an appropriate flathead screwdriver, dial the Time Period (white) knob to the desired position, then dial the Multiplication (blue) knob to the desired position. 2. To run a preset continuous program of a specified run time (ON) followed by the same length of OFF time, set the relay timer MUR3 Mode switch to Di.
5.4 Programming the TPURP MLR1 Timer (if present) The TPURP timer relay can be set to dispense liquid over a chosen time period, and to stop dispensing for another chosen time period. With reference to Figure 8, use the top set of knobs on the MLR1 timer relay for setting up the dispensing ON mode, and use the bottom set for setting up the nondispensing OFF mode.
Using an appropriate flathead screwdriver, dial the Time Period (white) knob to the desired position, then dial the Multiplication (blue) knob to the desired position. For example, you want your pump to be ON (dispensing) for 24 minutes, and then to be OFF (not dispensing) for 3 hours: 1. Set the top (ON) Time Period knob to the 6 - 60 min range, then dial the top Multiplication knob t0 the number 4. 6 x 4 = 24 minutes. 2.
6. MAINTENANCE Routinely check the tubing for wear and/or leaks. Replace as needed. Routinely clean the outside of the pump with a damp cloth, then wipe it with a dry cloth.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Pump does not power on. Pump does not produce the expected flow. Possible Solution Make sure the power cord is properly connected between the back of pump and the power outlet. One or both of the fuses needs to be replaced. Liquid may have leaked into the pump head: with the power OFF, clean the pump head with a moist cloth, then dry it. If it still does not run, call for service. Tubing may be loose around the pump head; remove, then reinstall it tightly.
