1 Introduction 1.1 Description The peristaltic pump motor offers microprocessor control and a digital display, and is designed to be fully compatible with our peristaltic pump. No mounting plate is needed, just two mounting screws. A 1⁄10 HP (75W) motor provides flow rates of up to 2280 mL/minute. A convenient membrane keypad lets you enter values and control all pump operations. A dot matrix LCD provides for easy view. Calibrating the unit is easy with the user-friendly control software.

3 Getting Started 3.1 Attaching the Pump 3.1.1 Introduction There are five possible mounting configurations for using the peristaltic pump motor. Table 3-1 describes these mounting configurations. Table 3-1. Pump Motor Mounting Configurations Number of Pumps on Left Side Number of Pumps on Right Side Reference Section 1 0 3.1.2 0 1 3.1.2 2 0 3.1.3 0 2 3.1.3 1 1 3.1.2 NOTE Your pump motor is equipped with a safety cover for whichever side of the motor is not being used.
3 Getting Started 3.1.2 Attaching a Single Pump Directly to the Motor CAUTION Perform ALL of the steps in Chapter 3 before turning the motor on. Refer to Figures 3-1 through 3-4. Base TOP ALIGNMENT PIN FACE OF MOTOR BOTTOM ALIGNMENT PIN ROTOR SHAFT Rotor Shaft Figure 3-1. Pump in Closed Position MOUNTING HOLES MOTOR SHAFT FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER Figure 3-2. Aligning the Rotor Shaft FACE OF MOTOR STANDARD MOUNTING SCREWS Figure 3-3. Pump in Closed Position 3-2 Figure 3-4.
Getting Started 3 5. Refer to Figure 3-4. With the pump and motor aligned, insert the mounting screws through the mounting holes in the pump, until they make contact with the threaded mounting holes in the face of the motor. 6. Tighten the screws fully with a 9/64 (M3.5) allen wrench. 3.1.3 Stacking Two Pumps on One Side of the Motor CAUTION Perform ALL of the steps in Chapter 3 before turning the motor on.
3 Getting Started 3.2 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.
Getting Started Figure 3-11. Closing the Stator 3 Figure 3-12. Adjusting the Clamp Screw 1. Refer to Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9. Snap open the Stator by pushing the spring-loaded area of the Latch. Remove any old tubing from the pump, if necessary. 2. Refer to Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-10. Loop the Tubing over the rollers. This is easy to do even for stacked pumps. NOTE Tubing can be changed on stacked pumps without detaching either of the pumps from the motor. 3. Refer to Figure 3-11.

4 Turning on the Power 4.1 Introduction to the Two Display Modes The pump motor has two modes of operation defined by whether or not the motor is running. Refer to Table 4-1. These two modes are known as the STOPPED Display Mode and the RUNNING Display Mode. Table 4-1. STOPPED vs.
4 Turning on the Power 3. Turn on the unit’s power. You are now in the STOPPED Display Mode (refer to Figure 4-1). The motor and the pump(s) are stopped. The display flashes, indicating that the pump motor is waiting for you to do something. The nonflashing, green LEDs indicate the tubing inlets (refer to Section 5.2), but fluid is not flowing. START STOP STOPPED DISPLAY MODE RUNNING DISPLAY MODE START STOP Figure 4-1. STOPPED vs. RUNNING Display Modes 4.

5 Operating the Pump Motor in the STOPPED Display Mode 5.4 Priming the Tubing PRIME Display shows Priming. . . ACTION Pumps fluid at current RPM or FLOW RATE setting as long as button is pressed Pressing the PRIME key causes the tubing to fill with fluid. 1. To prime the tubing, press and hold down the PRIME key. As long as you hold down the PRIME key, fluid flows in the tubing, and the display shows “Priming...”. 2. To stop priming a tube, simply release the PRIME key.
Operating the Pump Motor in the STOPPED Display Mode 5 Since tubes of different materials, sizes, ages, and durometers produce different flow rates, the CALIBRATE key allows you to calibrate each piece of tubing you use. Calibration accuracy data is shown in Table 9-1 in Chapter 9. Once the tubing is calibrated, you no longer need to be concerned about flow rate variances outlines in Table 9-3.
5 Operating the Pump Motor in the STOPPED Display Mode 10. After you have finished dispensing, press the START/STOP key to stop the pump motor. Then measure the dispensed fluid’s volume using your calibrated beaker. 11. When you have determined the volume of the dispensed fluid, use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to enter this volume on the display. 12. Once the display shows the correct volume of fluid dispensed, press the CALIBRATE key to complete the calibration.

Troubleshooting Guide Problem No flow out of the tube outlet (cont’d) Fluid flows in the opposite direction of what is intended 7 Solution D If the previous solutions do not help your situation, there may be a problem with the way the tubing is loaded in the pump(s). 1. Observe how the tubing is loaded in the pump(s) and, if necessary, reload it. 2. Make sure the tubing has no holes or cracks. Replace with new tubing, or move a fresh section of the tubing inside of the pump, if necessary. 3.
7 Troubleshooting Guide Problem Motor will not turn (OVERCURRENT condition) To recover from an overcurrent, first turn the power switch off, and then back on. Then attempt solutions 1 through 8. The pump(s) will not stay on the motor Solution 1. The tubing may be causing a jam. Observe how the tubing is loaded in the pump(s) and, if necessary, reload it. 2.

8 Technical Details 8.1 Theory of Operation The pump motor consists of an electric motor and a pulley assembly controlled by a microprocessor and circuit board. Driven by ac power, the motor produces a torque which drives the pulley assembly. The pulley assembly reduces the motor output speed and drives the pump. All of the pump motor’s functions are regulated by the microprocessor and circuit board. You enter information to the motor via a membrane keypad. 8.
