2. Use
2.1. Intended use
The pump is a fluid pumping and metering device.
Operator’s responsibility
The pump must be installed and operated only in accordance with
the operating parameters and conditions described in Chapter 4,
Technical data.
Protect the pump from moisture.
The pump may be operated only when fully assembled.
Before use, check that the materials of the pump head, housing,
diaphragm and valves are compatible with the pumped medium.
Before starting to pump, check that the medium can be pumped
safely in this specific situation.
The temperature of the medium must be within the permitted
temperature range (see Chapter 4).
The pumping medium must not contain any solids, since these
could impair the pump’s operation. If the presence of solids cannot
be prevented, a filter of < 50 µm and with a sufficient filter area
must be installed upstream from the pump.
2.2. Improper use
The pump must not be operated in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
The party commissioning the pump is responsible for ensuring
compliance with relevant standards if the pump is used in the
medicine or food sectors.
