5.0 - Tubing Rupture Detector
Rupture Detector System Overview
5.1 Alarm Causes
A rupture alarm is triggered by the presence of a conductive fluid in the pump. When the fluid bridges the two
stainless steel electrodes in the LIQUID SENSOR in the pump the alarm is triggered.
5.2 What to do in an alarm condition
To clear the alarm, first stop the pump and disconnect power from the pump controller. Remove the pump
cover and remove the ruptured pump tubing. Clean the inside of the pump with a soft rag. Remove any liquid
or tubing debris from the inside of the pump and the area around the LIQUID SENSOR. Inspect rollers and
clean if necessary.
5.3 Resuming Service
Install a fresh tubing insert and the pump is ready to resume service.
5.4 Resetting the alarm
Press the pushbutton (Red LED leak indicator and reset switch) on the front of the Tubing Rupture Detector to
reset the alarm.
! IMPORTANT: Resetting the Tubing Rupture Detector will cause the pump to resume turning !
! ALWAYS reinstall the pump cover BEFORE resetting the tubing rupture detector !
