Operating Instructions
4.1
Points to be observed before
commissioning
Please check:
•
whether the pump is correctly installed and
connected.
•
whether the direction of pump rotation is
correct.
The direction of rotation is anti-clockwise,
when viewed from the pump cover (if not
specified differently by the customer).
An arrow on the pump marks the direction of
rotation
•
that a pump without explosion protected
drive is under no circumstances used in an
explosive environment.
•
whether the pumping hose inside the pump
is suitable for the product to be pumped.
•
whether suction and pressure lines are
correctly connected.
•
whether switches and power connections for
the drive are correctly connected.
•
whether the pump is correctly earthed in
order to avoid electro-static charging.
•
whether the ventilation breathen on the
gearbox is free and open.
•
For the electric motor an overcurrent relay
must be installed. For this the wiring diagram
in the electric junction box must be
observed.
•
On motors with thermal circuit breakers all
cables and terminals are arranged inside the
junction box of the motor. These must be
connected so that the motor is stopped when
the switch is triggered.

Commissioning
The drive unit is to be started up in accordance
with the respective operating instructions.
Check the lubrication of the drive unit.
Geared motor and regulating gears are filled for
grease lubrication. In case of oil lubrication the
oil in the gear housing must be checked and, if
necessary, filled up before commissioning.
Make sure that all safety devices are fastened
and fully functional.
The peristaltic pump must not be
operated against closed shut-off
valves.
The pump housing must always be
filled with a sufficient amount of
lubricating fluid.
Switching on
The pump starts when the main switch for the
drive is switched on.
Switching off
Switch the main switch for the drive unit off
again.
The inner diameters of suction and pressure
lines should be at least the same size as the
pumping hose. The ideal radius for elbows is
> 2 – 3 times the pipe diameter. When pumping
highly viscous fluids (> 10.000 cPs) the
diameter of the suction line should be as big as
possible, but its lengths as short as possible.
For highly viscous fluids (>10.000 cPs) the
diameter of the suction line should be one size
bigger than the connection socket on the pump.
Please note that the suction line should be as
short as possible.
