Operating instructions
Peristaltic Pump IP Series
5
Correct and proper use
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
- The unit is not intended to convey or regulate
gases or solid media.
- Do not exceed the rated pressure, speed or tem-
perature for the pump.
- The unit may only be used in accordance with
the technical data and specifications provided in
these operating instructions and in the operating
instructions for the individual components.
- The system is not designed for use in areas of risk
from explosion.
- Only switch the pump on if it has been properly
fastened to the floor.
- Only switch the pump on if it the front cover has
been attached.
- Do not carry out any maintenance operations or
dismantle the pump without first making sure
that the pipes are not under pressure and are
empty or isolated.
- In the case of the hose becoming stuck during
extraction or fitting it is necessary to reverse the
direction of the pump, relubricate, and then
repeat the operation.
- As the peristaltic pump is volumetric and its func-
tioning is positive displacement, it is necessary
to prevent a possible overload of pressure, due
to for example, the accidental closure of a valve.
For this reason it is advisable to fit a safety device
such as: a safety valve, pressure limiter, etc.
Operational lifetime of the pump hoses
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
The operational lifetime of the pump hoses cannot be
precisely specified. For this reason, the possibility of
fracture and consequential leakage of liquids must be
accounted for. If the hose rupture alarm (optional) is
fitted, then the pump can be stopped and / or an elec-
trical valve can be actuated.
