Limits of Use
The EagleDrive motor is intended for use with pumps handling fluids in a variety of pump-
ing systems. These fluids may be innocuous or hazardous, depending on the specific
application. You should contact your local Micropump distributor or contact Micropump
directly about special limitations of your pump/motor unit with regard to your specific
system.
To achieve optimum performance and safe operation Micropump products must be
operated with the limits given in the Technical Specification. Operation outside these
limits is not recommended and may result in damage to the pump, motor, and/or ancillary
equipment.
Temperature. Operating beyond the maximum operating temperature
given in the Technical Specification is not recommended and may result
in damage to the product and compromise safety by creating high surface
temperature.

CAUTION
Corrosive Liquids. Corrosive liquids may eventually produce leak paths
around the sealing surfaces of the product. The product should be
inspected for leaks on a regular basis.
Flooding and Water Immersion. The products covered by this guide
are not designed to operate immersed in water. Refer to the Technical
Specification for the environmental rating.
Condensation. When pumping cold liquids ensure that condensation does
not present a safety hazard. Condensation on the external surfaces of the
magnet cup may result in a short-circuit in the motor controller.
Mechanical Danger. The product must be installed in a location that
exposes it to a low risk of external damage.
Hot Surfaces. Under some operating conditions, surface temperatures can
exceed 90°C (195°F.) Do not touch products while operating. Do not touch
within 30 minutes of system shutdown to allow surfaces to reach safe
handling temperature.
