1. A. Unpacking

Remove the packing materials, unpack the pump controller and the power supply unit.

Make sure that you have got all the components as specified in ’Box Contains’ last page of

this manual.

Please contact your supplier if you notice any one of the components is missing or
damaged.

Note: Do not attempt to assemble a unit using damaged components.

Retain the packaging so it can be used for future shipping.

The plug-in power supply unit is Switch Mode and automatically adjusts itself to the mains
power supply characteristics. It will work with any mains voltage supply from 100V to 240V.
The power supply unit is shipped with three alternative plug adaptors to fit European,
American and UK power outlets. Select the correct adaptor for your needs and clip it into
the power supply.

2. General information on peristaltic pumps

Peristaltic tube pumps are ideal for fluid transfer, metering and dispensing. In contrary to
centrifugal and gear pumps, peristaltic pumps handle fluids of various viscosities, are self
priming and can operate in either flow direction.

With no valves, seals or packing to come in direct contact with the pumped fluid, they are
ideal for pumping high purity & corrosive fluids and for contamination free dosing.

The principle of the peristaltic pump is based on a tube which is occluded by a series of
rollers. As a general rule, the higher the number of rollers and the smaller the tube
diameter—the lower are the flow rates but better is the accuracy and precision.

The 9100 controller is equipped as a standard with 3 roller system and Ø2.0mm ID tube.
This tube diameter together with maximum speed delivers a flow rate of 48ml/min.*

The highest dispense accuracy is achieved by using a semi rigid tube on the outlet of the
pump. We recommend thin wall tubing such as FEP or PVC tube.

*83ml/min for the 9110.010 which has max rotor speed of 520rpm

3. The peristaltic tube

The supplied peristaltic tube is made
from Silicone. Please make sure the
reagents you intend to use are
compatible with these material.

3. A. Clamping the peristaltic tube

The pump controller is delivered with a
IDØ2.0mm Silicone tube.

Move the lever up to open the clamp and
remove the clamp from the pump.

Insert the tube into the two tube holders
on each side of the tube clamp and
make sure the tube follows tangent and
the arc of the clamp.

Push the tube clamp back onto the pump
and lower the lever—the tube is now
occluded by the rollers.

3.B. Releasing the peristaltic tube
when you have finished

Whenever the pump is not in use for long
periods of time it is important to release
the pressure off the tube. This will
reduce tube deformation and ensure that
accuracy/precision is maximised.

Release the pressure by lifting the
pressure lever

3.C. Replacing the tube

Tube need replacing when worn out or
wherever you intend to change the
dispense volume range in which you
work—for smaller or larger dispense
volumes.

Lift the pressure lever and replace the
tube, making sure that you have installed
the tube centrally and that the tube is
fully engaged by the tube guides.

4. The choice of tubing

The unit can work either with fixed length tubing—75mm long within the tube clamp, or with
continuous tubing which in effect does not have any length restriction. In both cases, the
correct tube clips have to be installed in the clamp.

For the continuous tubing there are three sizes of tube clips:.

1. Marked ‘1’ for ID1.0mm tube

2. Marked ‘2’ for ID 2.0mm tube

3. Marked ‘3’ for ID 3.0mm tube

Clip No. 2 is used for the fixed length tubing.
