Safety Precautions
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
DANGER: Remove power from the pump before any
cleaning operation is started.
WARNING: Remove power from the pump before attempting
any maintenance.
WARNINGS: Tubing breakage may result in fluid being sprayed
from pump. Use appropriate measures to protect operator and
equipment.
Turn Pump System off before removing or installing tubing.
Fingers or loose clothing could get caught in drive mechanism.
CAUTIONS: When changing flow direction, allow the pump to
come to a complete stop before starting again. Failure to do
so could cause permanent damage to the motor.
Replace the fuse only with one of the same type and rating.
The fuse rating and type are stated on the rear panel.
CAUTION: To avoid electrical shock, the power cord
protective grounding conductor must be connected to ground.
Not for operation in wet locations as defined by EN61010-1.

Preface
Safety
1. Read instructions before operating the unit.
2. Observe safety precautions at all times, especially when pumping
dangerous liquids.
3. If the pump runs unusually noisy or if bunching of the tubing in the
pump can be observed, make sure the tubing is clamped down tightly
and/or replace it with a new piece of tubing.
4. The L/S Precision Variable-Speed Console Drives must be wellgrounded at all times.
5. The L/S Precision Variable-Speed Console Drives are equipped with a
current-limiting circuit that will shut the motor down if any of the
following conditions exist:
a. Tubing that is too hard is loaded in the pump.
b. Incorrect tubing size or wall thickness is loaded in the pump.
c. Tubing is improperly loaded into the Pump Head.
6. The unit is fused and grounded to protect the operator in the event of
short circuits that could be caused by liquid entering the case.
CAUTION: Replace the fuse only with one of the same type
and rating. The fuse rating and type are stated on the
rear panel.
7. The L/S Precision Variable-Speed Console Drives should not be used
in outdoor or hazardous locations.
The L/S Precision Variable-Speed Console Drives control the speed of
MASTERFLEX® Pump Heads to provide flow rates from 0.06 to 3400 mL/min.
The 300 and 600 rpm L/S Precision Variable-Speed Console drives can
mount up to two (2) MASTERFLEX Pump Heads or other pumps
adapted to MASTERFLEX drives.
The 100 rpm L/S Precision Variable-Speed Console drive can mount up to
four (4) MASTERFLEX Pump Heads or other pumps adapted to
MASTERFLEX drives.
Advantages of Peristaltic Pumps:
• Handle abrasive slurries and corrosive fluids with minimal wear. Ideal
for titanium dioxide or diatomaceous earth filter aid applications.
• Low maintenance; sealless and valveless design
• Valveless design prevents clogging.
• Inner surfaces are smooth and easy to clean.
• Contamination free; fluid contacts only the tubing or tube material.
• Suction lift and priming up to 8.8m water column at sea level.
• Low shearing for handling the most shear sensitive of fluids such as
latex or fire fighting foam.
• Capable of running dry and pumping fluids with high quantities of
entrained air, such as black liquor soap.
• High volumetric efficiency allows operation in metering or dosing
applications where high accuracy is required.
• Handles extremely viscous fluids.
• Availability of tubing and tube materials that are suitable for food and
pharmaceutical use.
