SuperPump AR System User Manual 

 

3  Installation 

The SuperPump System has several steps to the main mechanical sub-assemblies, and a few 
steps for the electrical components installation/configuration.  

NOTE:  It  is  critical  for  the  assembly  steps  to  be  followed  in  order  to  assure  successful 

operation. 

3.1 

Unpacking the SuperPump 

The  SuperPump  AR  arrives  in  2  containers;  a  wooden  shipping  crate  for  the  Pump  and  a 
cardboard  container  for  the  Controller.  Inspect  the  shipping  containers  for  external  damage. 
Retain the shipping carton and packing materials for possible re-shipment. Inspect the system 
components for  damage. If there is evidence of damage contact the carrier, initiate a damage 
claim, and inform ViVitro Labs. 

The SuperPump arrives pre-assembled with the following parts: 

  Mounting base 

  Linear Actuator with Cable 

  Actuator Extension Cable 

  SuperPump Controller 

3.2 

Installing the SuperPump  

The SuperPump is supplied mounted to a rigid plastic base for use on a bench top. Optionally 
the  Pump  may  be  mounted  directly  to  a  structure  or  test  apparatus  using  #10-32  fasteners 
through the mounting feet of the Pump. See bolt pattern layout in section 10. 

WARNING:  Any  accessory  that  is  attached  to  the  SuperPump  must  be  tested  to  375  mmHg 
pressure. 

The SuperPump must be mounted horizontally. The back side of the Pump cylinder is provided 
with  a  drain;  however  vertical  mounting  of  the  Pump  can  result  in  water  entering  the  ball 
screw/motor causing an electrical hazard. 

 

The  Controller  should  be  located  away  from  the  Pump  to  avoid  any  water  or  test  fluid.  An 
extension cable is provided to allow extra separation if required. 

It is recommended that the Pump act on the test fluid through a membrane to maintain isolation 
between  working  and  test  fluid.  The  piston  should  not  be  directly  exposed  to  blood  analog 
solution or saline. Distilled water is recommended as the working fluid in contact with the piston. 

When  connecting  the  Controller  to  other  equipment  such  as  computers  or  a  signal  generator 
ensure  all  equipment  is  on  the  same  ground.  Ground  loops  can  cause  noise  or  signal  offsets 
which  will  result  in  a  noisy  or  inconsistent  waveform.  Any  test  setup  should  be  validated  by 
running known samples before testing.
