4. Setup
Multichannel pump heads accommodate a broad range of tubing sizes as noted in
Tables 1 and 2 (See page 9).
Select Tubing
Depending on which pump head is used, up to four or eight tubing sets can be
teamed up in a single pump head. Tubing sizes can be intermixed within each
occlusion bed as long as the same tubing material is used (Figure 4).
Use only Masterflex microbore tubing sets with Masterflex tubing pumps to ensure
optimum performance. Use of other tubing may void applicable warranties.

Tube Loading
WARNING:
Turn off drive before removing or installing tubing. Safety
guard is provided to minimize risk of fingers getting caught between roller
mechanism and the base of the module. However, be safe—keep your
fingers away from these areas.
CAUTION:
Use only tubing combinations defined by Tables 1 and 2 (See
page 9). Use of other combinations could cause malfunction or damage to
the pump.
With the drive stopped, follow this procedure to install tubing:
1. Release latch and open occlusion bed (Figure 5).
2. From the top of the pump head, insert one end of the tubing over rollers. While
holding occlusion bed, open spring loaded safety guard enough so that tubing can
be inserted between guard and slotted tubing retainer (Figure 6).
3. Place tubing stop collar into slot to secure (Figure 7).
4. Making sure not to twist tubing, lightly stretch it across rollers to secure tubing stop
collar in corresponding slot on the opposite end of pump head (latch side) (Figure 8).
Repeat the process for additional tubing channels as required.
