connection of primary power and a 4-terminal barrier strip for
connection of remote start/stop and for a DC remote supply.
SETUP
Use only MASTERFLEX®L/S®tubing sets to ensure
optimum performance. Use of other tubing may
void applicable warranties.
Selecting Tubing Size
Appendix A provides a list of tubing sets which will work
efficiently with the MASTERFLEX
®
L/S®Compact Pump
System. This list includes tubing diameters, flow rates in
mL/min and the maximum flow rates per revolution at 20 rpm
and 100 rpm. Tubing is listed by part number. For best
results, when using two tubes (two channel models only),
select tubes that provide flow rates within a 10:1 range.
(Tube diameter ratios should be within approximately 3.5:1.)
Silicone tubing should not be used with TYGON
®
or PHARMED®.
Installing Tubing in Pump Head
WARNING: Be sure the Pump Drive is turned off
before proceeding. Loose clothing could
be caught in the rollers.
1. Place the Power On/Direction Switch,
Figure 2
, in the
center (Off) position.
2. Push the Occlusion Bed Latch, Figure 4, to the right to
release the Occlusion Bed from the rotor.
3. Insert the tube set into the slot on one side of the tubing
retainer bracket with the tubing stop on top of the bracket
(opposite side from the rotor).
4. Wrap the tubing around the rollers and insert the tubing
into the slot on the opposite side of the bracket, stretching
the tubing slightly so that the second tubing stop is also on
top of the bracket.
5. For two channel modes, the tubing must be in the same
slots on both sides of the bracket (i.e. both in front slot or
both in rear slot). If two tubes are being installed, repeat 3
and 4 above with the second tube set.
6. Lift the occlusion bed up against the tubing and push the
occlusion bed latch to the left until it locks in place in the
cutout on the occlusion bed.
