FH15 & FH30 Compact Pump System Operating Manual 2-1
Thermo Scientific
Section 2
Installation and Setup
Use only two-stop tubing sets to ensure optimum performance. Use
of other tubing sets may void applicable warranties.
Appendix A provides a list of tubing sets which will work efficiently with
the FH15 & FH30 Compact Pump System. This list includes tubing
diameters, flow rates in mL/min and the maximum flow rates per
revolution at 20 rpm and 100 rpm. Tubing is listed by part number. For
best results, when using two tubes (two-channel models only), select tubes
that provide flow rates within a 10:1 range. (Tube diameter ratios should
be within approximately 3.5:1.)
WARNING: Before installing tubing into the Pump Head
remove power or shut off the drive. Fingers or loose clothing
could be caught in the rollers.
For dual or two-channel Pump Systems, Silicone tubing should not be
used with TYGON® or PHARMED® BPT.
