both ends with cable binders.
843 Pump Station with Peristaltic Pumps
■■■■■■■■
11
3.2 Mounting tubings
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
This prevents liquid from leaking at excessively high pressures.
Place the pump tubing in the pump head as shown in the figure.
4
Fasten the tubing with the tube clamps.
5
Take care to ensure that the tubing is as centered as possible on the
roller.
Apply pressure to the pressure clamp and clamp tightly with the fixing
6
lever (see Chapter 2.3, page 9).
Tighten the set screw to an extent sufficient to ensure that the pump
7
tubing is unable to shift position and that a uniform flow of liquid is
conveyed when the pump is switched on.
The clamping screw can, if necessary, be readjusted while the pump is
running.
3.2.2 Inlet and outlet tubing
Two different types of tubings are available as inlet and outlet tubing. Both
of them are included in the scope of delivery (see Chapter 10.1.1, page
34):
■PVC tubing (6.1801.120), 2 x 2 m
■PTFE tubing (6.1812.000), 1 x 4 m
The question of which of the two types of tubing you should use is primarily
dependent on the type of solvent used. PVC tubing is softer and has the
advantage of causing less noise during the pumping procedure.
Mount the inlet and outlet tubing as follows:
Cut the inlet and outlet tubing to appropriate lengths.

5 Handling and maintenance
5.1 General information
5.1.1 Care
The 843 Pump Station requires appropriate care. Excess contamination of
the instrument may result in functional disruptions and a reduction in the
service life of the sturdy mechanics and electronics.
Spilled chemicals and solvents must be removed immediately. Above all, the
plug connections on the rear of the instrument (in particular the mains connection socket) should be protected from contamination.
Caution
Although this is extensively prevented by design measures, the mains plug
should be unplugged immediately if aggressive media has penetrated the
inside of the instrument, so as to avoid serious damage to the instrument
electronics. In such cases, the Metrohm Service must be informed.
5 Handling and maintenance
5.1.2 Maintenance by Metrohm Service
Maintenance of the 843 Pump Station is best carried out as part of an annual
service, which is performed by technicians of the Metrohm company. If
working frequently with caustic and corrosive chemicals, a shorter maintenance interval could be necessary.
The Metrohm service department offers every form of technical advice for
maintenance and service of all Metrohm instruments.
5.2 Pump
Caution
The Pump Station must be switched off immediately with the Emergency
Stop switch if the peristaltic pump becomes blocked. If this is not done,
then the pump could suffer damage from overheating.

5.3 Tubings
5.3 Tubings
5.3.1 Safety instructions
Because of the fact that the pump is subject to wear, it must be replaced on
a regular basis. Worn-out, defective pump tubing represents a safety risk,
particularly when aggressive liquids are being conveyed.
Note
Check the pump tubing regularly for cracking, leaks or the intake of air
Use separate pump tubings for different liquids. Dispose of used tubing
without delay.
5.3.2 Selection of pump tubings
The most important decision when using peristaltic pumps is the selection
of suitable tubing material. Always use tubings particularly intended for peristaltic pumps.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The peristaltic pump of the Pump Station is supplied with a PharMed® pump
tubing (Order no. 6.1826.100; 6,4/9,5 mm⌀ made of thermoplastic polypropylene). It is especially suitable for aqueous media.
For the transport of non-aqueous solutions, we recommend a Viton pump
tubing (Order no. 6.1826.160).
If you need other tubings for your application, take care of the following
points when evaluating the pump tubings:
■Chemical resistance
■Pressure build-up in the pump tubing
■Sterilizability
■Temperature of the pump medium and the environment
■Viscosity of the liquid
■Permeability of the pump tubing
■Demanded delivery rate
■Tubing dimensions
5.3.3 Tubing replacement and service life
Pump tubings have a limited service life and must therefore be replaced at
regular intervals. Factors which could influence the service life of tubings in
the peristaltic pump include:
■■■■■■■■
22
■Pumping speed (rolling effect/min)
■Properties of the liquid being conveyed
■Initial pressure
■Ambient temperature
843 Pump Station with Peristaltic Pumps
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
5 Handling and maintenance
■Shearing force of the rollers
■Twisting or kinking of the tubing
■Excessive tubing length under the pressure clamp
■Changes in wall thickness
Observe the following when using tubings:
■If the tubing is not pulled sufficiently tightly around the rotor, then this
will have a negative effect on the service life of the tubing. The tubing
has a tendency to unfold in such situations. If the tubing is too tightly
pulled, then the flow will be narrowed.
■The tubing will last longer if you loosen the pressure clamp when the
pump is not being used.
■In order to achieve good repeatability of feed rate following a change in
tubing, it is imperative that you always choose the same tubing length.
■Before replacing the tubing turn off the peristaltic pumps with the
mains switch, or pull out the mains cable of the Pump Station in order
to prevent any unintended starting of the pump.
■Before replacing the tubing, make sure that all of the liquid has been
pumped out of the tubing.
■Loosen the pressure clamp and remove the old tubing.
Note
Use only Pharmed® tubing as replacements for the pump tubing.
5.3.4 Suitability test for tubings
Place a short piece of the tubing for 48 hours in an enclosed container that
has been filled with the liquid that is to be conveyed. Afterwards, inspect
the piece of tubing for signs of swelling, brittleness or other limitations.
Caution
An incorrectly selected tubing materials can endanger both users and
instruments.

such as improper storage or improper use, etc. are expressly excluded from
the warranty.
