SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS:Tubing breakage may result in fluid being

sprayed from pump. Use appropriate mea­sures to protect operator and equipment.

The air supply must be disconnected from
pump before removing or installing tubing.
Fingers or loose clothing could get caught in
drive mechanism. Do not operate this pump
without plastic protective cover assembly
properly installed. Rotating parts can cause
serious injury.

To reduce risk of injury, do not pump materi­als hotter than 150 degrees Fahrenheit,
(65.5°C).

CAUTIONS: Do not exceed 350 rpm. Speeds in excess of

350 rpm may cause damage to unit.
Do not attempt to use other materials in lieu

of these, as pump performance could be
severely compromised with possible dam­age to the pump.

WARNING: PRODUCT USE LIMITATION

These products are not designed for, nor intended for use in, patient­connected applications, including, but not limited to, medical and dental
use and, accordingly, have not been submitted for FDA approval.

INTRODUCTION

This manual provides information for installing, operating, and servicing the
MASTERFLEX
Occlusion Peristaltic Pump and Drive.

The unique design of the peristaltic pump provides a greatly simplified
means for rapid loading and changing of tubing. In addition, the following
features are incorporated:

• Pumps up to 12 GPM (45 LPM).

• Uses continuous tubing to ensure a sanitary and non-contaminating

system.

• Fluid contacts only the tubing.

• Handles a wide range of viscosities.

• Several different size tubing and formulations can be used.

• 5:1 gear head eliminates need for belt and pulley.

APPLICATION DATA

The gentle peristaltic action of this pump is ideal for pumping highly viscous
and shear-sensitive liquids. These pumps are also ideally suited for use
where sterile conditions and purity are required. Toxic and hazardous fluids
can be pumped with the proper selection of MASTERFLEX® B/T® tubing
since the fluid contacts only the tubing and not the pump.

WARNING: Tubing breakage may result in fluid being

sprayed from pump. Use appropriate mea­sures to protect operator and equipment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The RAPID-LOAD B/T peristaltic pump (see Figure 1) is mounted on a base
and attached to a NEMA 56C frame air motor through a 5:1 gear head.

Due to its unique design, several different MASTERFLEX
can be accommodated by this RAPID-LOAD peristaltic pump. The adjusting
knob (see Figure 2) allows the user to load tubing quickly and consistently
and is used to set the nominal occlusion (amount of squeeze on the tubing)
for each size tubing. The indicator pointer can be aligned with index marks
for the different tube sizes, thus simplifying the setting of nominal occlusion.
Occlusion is adjusted by turning the occlusion ring adjusting knob clockwise
to increase occlusion or counterclockwise to decrease occlusion until the
desired performance is obtained. When maximum flow is not required,
reduction in the occlusion can greatly increase tubing life. Increased
occlusion provides improved vacuum and pressure performance.

The maximum recommended rotor speed is 350 rpm. A tachometer access
port is provided to allow monitoring of pump rotation speed. The pump rotor
turns only in a counterclockwise direction. The top connection is for
