Instruction for Use of Pump Head
6.1 Description and Preparation
6.1.1 Description
The
LPP-200 Multi-Use
pump heads are designed for
applications in the Life Science industries operating with
the
PuraLev
®
200MU
pump system. The wetted parts
are made out of biocompatible materials (FDA, USP VI,
Animal-Free). The pump head is mounted to the
Bearingless Motor
(a
MagLev
drive motor) and the motor
is connected to a controller generating the currents for
rotation and the levitation of the impeller.

Before starting using the
LPP-200 Multi-Use
pump
heads make yourself familiar with the following warnings,
cautions and instruction.
6.1.2 Inspection Prior to Use
The pump head should be inspected prior to use for any
damage. Do not use the pump head if any damage is
found. Contact
Levitronix
®
regarding return of any
suspected pump head.
6.1.3 Traceability for Troubleshooting
Traceability for trouble shooting is assured with a 6 digit
serial number located on the top of the pump head (see
).
6.2 General Warnings and Cautions
!
WARNING
High Magnetic Field Strength of Pump Impeller
The pump head contains a rotor magnet with high
field strength. Pace makers may be influenced and
magnetic field may lead to contusions. Keep distance
to pace makers and handle pump heads with care.
CAUTION
Magnetic Forces
Pay attention to the magnetic forces when handling
the pump head. It has to be avoided that magnetic
parts are attracted, which can cause cracks or
contamination. Specifically pay attention to the
magnetic forces, when handling two pump heads at
the same time.
!
CAUTION
The rotating impeller could cause injury. Do not run
the pump system when opening the pump head.
6.3 Replacement of Pump Head
6.3.1 Preparation
After removal of a new pump head from its packaging
assure that no metallic part is magnetically attaching to
the pump head. Before insertion into the motor remove
the
Fixation Disk
, which comes delivered with the
packaging in order to magnetically fix the impeller
against movements during transportation.
Figure 33: Metallic Fixation Disc
6.3.2 Power Down the System
Set the speed to 0 rpm, disable the system. After
running at higher motor or liquid temperature the pump
head might stick to the motor due to thermal expansion
effects. In this case let the system cool down for a while
before starting the replacement procedure.
6.3.3 Pump head Removal from Motor
Un-tighten the screws
M1
to
M4
, which fix the pump
). Do not use the pump
housing screws
P1
to
P6
. Remove the pump head
axially and attach the
Fixation Disk
from the new pump
head to it.
