Information for returning pumps
Equipment which has been contaminated with, or exposed to, body fluids, toxic chemicals or any other substance
hazardous to health must be decontaminated before it is returned to W-M Alitea AB or its distributor.
A certificate included at the rear of these operating instructions, or signed statement, must be attached to the outside
of the shipping carton.
This certificate is required eve n if the p ump is un us ed. If th e pump h as b ee n us ed , the fluid s that have be en in co ntact

decontaminated.
Safety
In the interests of safety, this pump and the tubing selected should only be used by competent, suitably trained
personnel after they have read a nd und er sto od this manual, and considered any hazard involved.
Any person who is involved in the installation or maintenance of this equipment should be fully competent to carry out
the work. In the UK this person should also be familiar with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
There are dangerous voltages inside the pump. If access is required, isolate the pump
from the mains before removing the cover.

Installation
The 403U and 405U drives are suitable for singl e ph ase main s ele ctr icity supplies only.
The pumps are supplied with a mains cable fitted with a moulded plug. The wires are colour coded in accordance
with the following code:
220-240V: Live- Brown; Neutral - Blue; Earth - Green/Yellow.
100-120V: Live - Black; Neutral - W hit e; Earth - Green.
403U and 405U drives with product codes ending in "U" (UK mains cable) and "E" (European mains cable) accept
230V, 50/60Hz only, whereas pumps with product codes ending in "A" (American mains cable) accept 110V,
50/60Hz single phase mains voltage.

Troubleshooting
Should the pump fail to operate, make the following checks to determine whether or not servicing is required.
Check that mains supply is available at t he pu mp.
Check the mains supply fuse.
Check that the pump is not stalled by incorrect fitting of tubing.
Manual operation
Change the set speed by pres sing the or key. Pump speed is displayed in percentage of maximum s peed.
The 403U has a speed control ratio of 20:1. This will give a minimum speed of 0.5rpm for the 10rpm 403U drive
and 2.5rpm for the 50rpm 403U. The 405U has a sp eed control ratio of 10:1. This will give a minimum speed of

Remote control
The 403U and 405U dr ives can be controlled remotely via 0-10V or 4-20 mA anal ogue signals. 400AC1, 400AC2,
400AC3 and 400AC4 remote control cables with a 15-pin D-sub connector are available from your local WatsonMarlow dealer. Wiring diagrams for each control cable are shown at the bottom of this section.

Care and maintenance
The only scheduled maintenance of the pump unit is to replace the motor brushes and to replace them when
necessary, understanding that motor brushes are not covered by the two year warranty. It is recommended that this
work be carried out by a Wats on-Marlo w ser vicing ag ent. Th e life of the b rus hes dep ends on the duty of the pu mp but
is expected to be at least 2500 hours at maximum speed for the 403U and 5000 hours for the 405U.
If the pump requires cleaning use a mild solution of detergent in water after removing the pumphead. Do not use
strong solvents.

Performance against pressure
The pressure and the suction height can be increased by compressing the spring in the track occlusion pin. A smaller
gap between the rollers and track will give better performance against pressure but will reduce tube life.
Other factors that will influence tube life in peristaltic pumps are pump speed (roller impacts/minute), chemical
compatibility of the duty fluid and viscosity of the duty fluid.
It is the pressure capability of the tubing that limits the operating pressure of the pump. The maximum pressure you
can obtain is dependent on the wall thic knes s, tu be bore and hardne ss of the tubing . Normally the ma ximum press ure
is 2 bar.
Key Safety Information
When fitting a new tube in the pumphead
Ensure that there is no pressure, liquid or gas in the pipeline.
Disconnect the pump from the mains to prevent the pump from starting unexpectedly.
Always replace any protective guard after tube changeover.
If a tube failure has occurred, ensure that any fluid in the pumphead has been allowed to drain to a safe area
Ensure that protective clothi n g and eye protection is worn if aggressive fluids are being pumped.
400R1 pumphead set-up
The 400R1 pumphead is designed to accept 1.6mm wall standard laboratory tubing up to 6.4mm bore. Care should
be taken to establish the normal tube life experienced within a set of operating parameters. Subsequent tubing
replacement should be scheduled wi thin the normal expected life of a tube. This will avoid unnecessary tube failure
and unplanned pump maintenance.
Tube loading (Pictures 1-9)
Remove the transparent guard.
Release the track by disengaging the track occlusion pin.
Before tube loading, mak e sur e that enough s uction and delivery tub ing is available to c onnect in to the remainin g
pipeline or to reach the suction reservoir and delivery point.
Locate the tubing into the suction side tube clamp. Feed the tubing in around the rotor, maintaining reasonable
tube tension so that the tube sits around the rotor, and locate into the delivery side tube clamp. Make sure that
there are no twists or kinks in the tubing after loading as this will adversely affect tube life.
Ensure the tube is lined up centrally in the track correctly secured at each clamp.
Re-position the track over the rotor and fix by slotting the track occlusion pin back into the track slot.
Re-attach the transparent guard.
Compressing the spring on the track occlusion pin (picture 10) will increase the suction height and performance
against back pressure.

The 400L is designed for 1.6mm wall elements up to 4.8mm bore, whereas the 400L2 accepts two 1.6mm wall
continuous lengths of tubing up to 4.8mm bore.
Care should be taken to establish th e normal tube life experien ced within a set of operatin g parameters. Subseq uent
tubing replacement should be scheduled within the normal expected life of a tube. This will avoid unnecessary tube
failure and unplanned pump maintenanc e.

Flow rates
The tables below list the approximate water-flow rate per revolution for the 404D pumpheads. The flow rate will
depend on the duty fluid (viscosity, density etc.), pressure, temperature, speed, tubing and the installation. For
accurate flow rates and repeatability, calibrate the pump for your application.
