Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals

Two year warranty

Watson-Marlow Limited warrants, subject to the conditions below, through either WatsonMarlow Limited, its subsidiaries, or its authorised distributors, to repair or replace free of charge, including labour, any part of this product which fails within two years of delivery of the product to the end user. Such failure must have occurred because of defect in material or workmanship and not as a result of operation of the product other than in accordance with the instructions given in this manual.

Conditions of and specific exceptions to the above warranty are

Consumable items such as tubing and rollers are excluded.

Products must be returned by pre-arrangement carriage paid to Watson-Marlow Limited, its subsidiaries, or its authorised distributor.

All repairs or modifications must have been made by Watson-Marlow Limited, its subsidiaries, or its authorised distributors or with the express permission of WatsonMarlow Limited, its subsidiaries, or its authorised distributors.

Products which have been abused, misused, or subjected to malicious or accidental damage or electrical surge are excluded.

Warranties purporting to be on behalf of Watson-Marlow Limited made by any person, including representatives of Watson-Marlow Limited, its subsidiaries, or its distributors, which do not accord with the terms of this warranty shall not be binding upon WatsonMarlow Limited unless expressly approved in writing by a Director or Manager of WatsonMarlow Limited.

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 Watson-Marlow 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 even if the pump is unused. If the pump has been used, the fluids that have been in contact with the pump and the cleaning procedure must be specified along with a statement that the equipment has been 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 and understood 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.

This symbol, used on the pump and in this manual, means: Caution, risk of electric shock.

This symbol, used on the pump and in this manual, means: Caution, refer to accompanying documents.

This symbol, used on the pump and in this manual, means: Do not allow fingers to contact moving parts.

There are dangerous voltages (at mains potential) inside the pump. If access is required, isolate the pump from the mains before removing the cover.

Recommended operating procedures

DO keep delivery and suction lines as short as possible using a minimum number of swept bends.

DO use suction and delivery pipelines with a bore equal to or larger than the bore of the

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals

tube fitted in the pumphead. When pumping viscous fluids, the losses caused by increased friction can be overcome by using pipe runs with a cross sectional area several times greater than the pumping element.

DO fit an extra length of pump tube in the system to enable tube transfer. This will extend tube life and minimise the downtime of the pumping circuit.

DO keep the track and rollers clean.

The self-priming nature of peristaltic pumps means valves are not required. Any valves fitted must cause no restriction to flow in the pumping circuit.

When using Marprene tubing, after the first 30 minutes of running, re-tension the tube in the pumphead. Open the guard, hold the tubing at one port whilst pulling the tube tight through the second port. This is to counteract the normal stretching that occurs with Marprene which can go unnoticed and result in poor tube life.

Tube selection The chemical compatibility list published in the Watson-Marlow catalogue is only a guide. If in doubt about the compatibility of a tube material and the duty fluid, request a tube sample card for immersion trials.

Installation

The 624Di is suitable for single-phase mains electricity supplies only.

To ensure correct lubrication of the gearbox the pump should be run only while its feet are standing on a horizontal surface. The pump should be positioned to allow a free flow of air around it.

Remove the small transparent plate on the rear panel to gain access to the voltage selector and terminal block.

Set the voltage selector to either 120V for 100-120V 50/60Hz single-phase AC supplies or 240V for 220-240V 50/60Hz single-phase AC supplies.

Route the mains supply cable through the entry point to the right of the recess, and couple the cable to the terminal block as shown on the rear panel.

There are two alternative connectors. One accepts 20mm rigid or flexible conduit, and the other accepts three core 0.75 square millimetre PVC sheathed mains cable (via the screwed adapter supplied) so that a mains lead can be used.

Ensure that the mains lead is securely retained in the strain relief gland so that IP55 ingress protection is maintained.

Securely replace the transparent plate and the gasket over the recess.

1.Armoured cable strain relief gland GR 0018

2.Washer GR 0019

3.Strain relief gland SL0020

Ingress protection standard will be compromised if the transparent plate is not replaced.

Rear panel recess

The pump rear panel recess houses the following:

1.Fuse holder

2.Terminal block

3.Voltage selection switch

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals

Troubleshooting

Should the pump fail to operate, make the following checks to determine whether or not servicing is required.

Check that the power switch is on.

Check the mains supply is available at the pump.

Check the voltage selector switch is in the correct position.

Check the fuse in the mains socket.

Check that the pump is not stalled by incorrect fitting of tubing.

User interfacing

When powering-up the pump the user will be taken into the main menu.

Use the Step key to move between menu options. Use the Enter key to confirm settings. Use the number keys to enter in settings. Use the Up or Down key to increase or decrease set values in the pump software i.e. ramp settings, date, rpm etc.

Dose permits the set-up of dose programs for dispensing. A dose can be initiated by using the Start button or external switching. The pump will allow up to 26 dosing programs to be stored and recalled at any time. A printer can be connected to the pump for recording of dispense runs. Batch and operator codes must be entered when using a printer.

Cal allows the pump to be calibrated for accurate dosing.

Manual allows continuous transfer/fluid metering via keypad control.

Auto enables analogue or RS232 control.

Setup displays and controls the user and factory settings for the correct operation of the pump.

The speed/volume flow rate of the drive is governed by the pumphead and tubing selected.

Dosing procedure

The Dosing program is outlined in the technical data section of the operating instruction in a flow chart format. Each step in the procedure is described to provide full understanding of the procedure.

Within the technical data section are mean values for dose time guidelines and accuracy figures recorded using Silicone tubing at zero suction and pressure. For the highest accuracy use small-bore tubing and maximum roller passes. Always use a calibration dose to ensure the highest accuracy possible.

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals

Print audit routines

If a printer is connected, the completion of a dose run will automatically call the print routine. The first request will be to enter the operator ID.

Up to 16 characters can be entered. Digits and the decimal point are entered directly from the keypad. Alpha characters are entered by pressing Up or Down which call A to Z and Z to A respectively in circular rotation.

An alpha character is embedded by pressing Step. A numeric character is entered by pressing Step, any other numeric character, the decimal point or Up or Down.

On pressing Enter, the pump will request the input of a batch number.

Again, up to 16 characters can be entered as for the operator ID. When Enter is again pressed, the following information is printed out: date, time, dose size, specific gravity, dose interval, number of doses, initial ml/rev, recalibration data, operator ID, batch number and number of doses delivered.

Following the print-out a repeat dose option will be given.

Single dose command

Single doses can be dispensed on demand, with a count of the number of doses being kept.

Set the interval time to 0 SECONDS and the number of doses to 1.

To start single dosing, press Start or use an external start dose switch. The display will indicate the total number of completed doses up to a maximum of 99,999, after which the counter will restart at 0: dose 100,001 would be shown as 1.

Calibration procedure

Calibration of the 624Di is based on informing the pump under Cal of the pumphead and tubing which are to be used. Alternatively a calibration dose can be used. The calibration dose will run for a maximum of 4 minutes, but can be stopped at any time up to 4 minutes. The longer the calibration dose, the more accurate the calibration. Entering into the pump the physical volume or mass to complete the procedure will allow the pump to take into account ambient conditions and also the viscosity of the fluid.

Manual operation

Switch power on.

Change the set speed by pressing the Up or Down key. The minimum speed of the 624Di is 4 rpm.

Change direction by pressing the CW/CCW key. Indication of direction of rotation is provided via the LCD display.

Select the maximum speed: press the Up key and the Max key together. Select the minimum speed: press the Down key and the Max key together.

Press Start to start the pump. Press Stop to stop the pump.

Auto operation

The pump will accept external control signals through the 25-pin cage clamp connector on the back panel. Remove the cover plate, ensuring that the gasket is not damaged. Feed the control wires through the cable glands and connect via the sprung cage clamps.

Analogue

This function enables the pump speed to be controlled via an external analogue process signal. Pressing Enter at analogue will call a confirmation of the analogue control signal settings. These can be reset under Setup (see section covering pump setup).

RS232

This facility gives full pump functionality under RS232 closed loop control via the 4-pin cage clamp. Up to 16 pumps can be linked while retaining individual pump control by using lead PR0036. A network kit is available from Watson-Marlow which includes Pumpnet 2, a DOS-compatible control program, and leads.

PRINT #1, "2ST" + CHR$(13)

CLOSE #1.

Setup

ROM - provides user with software identification.

Date/Time - Set during manufacture but can be reset to user requirements.

Beep - Audible signal on/off.

Ramp - Rate of acceleration/deceleration of the pump to/from maximum set speed at the beginning/end of a dose. 0 setting signifies no acceleration delay to maximum speed, 5 signifies the longest acceleration delay to maximum speed.

Drip - Brief reversal of the motor on dose completion ensures no extra drips of fluid are dispensed. 0 means no reverse and 5 means maximum reverse.

Baud - Speed of signal transmission. Default setting 9600, range of setting include 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600.

Auxiliary - Monitor the pump dosing or motor state/direction of rotation using 2 high (5V) /low (0V) auxiliary signals outputted via the pumps 25 pin cage clamp connector. Auxiliary signals can be used, for example, to command a turntable or conveyor to move when a dose has been completed.

http://www.watson-marlow.it/pdfs-global/m-624Di-gb-01.htm[10/07/2012 13:59:15]

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals

Line 1 can be set to change state every time the motor runs, or only when the motor runs to dispense a dose. The signal can be set high or low when the motor runs. Line 2 changes state when the pump direction is changed. The screens allow the signal to be set high or low when the output shaft rotates clockwise.

Pump - When under RS232 control each individual pump must be identified. Select a number from 1-16.

Max - Sets when the pump can be primed at maximum speed. Standard setting means Max is enabled during Manual and Setup. Always enabled means the unit can be primed at any time.

Default - Press Enter at "Yes" to restore factory defaults.

Autostart - If set to On when in Manual mode only, Autostart will allow the pump to restart pumping automatically after power-up following a mains supply interruption. If set to Off the pump will restart and return to the Main Menu.

Signal - Step to the desired process signal for analogue control and press Enter. Options available are 4-20mA, 0-10mA, 0-20mA, 0-5V, 0-10V These signal ranges correspond to 0-200rpm speed control. A confirmation screen will verify settings chosen. If the signal type required is not shown then use the "program" option to enter in the required signal levels. The pump is controllable by an analogue process signal of up to 30V or 32mA. The pump will provide an increasing flow rate for a rising control signal (non-inverted response) or an increasing flow rate for a falling control signal (inverted response).

For voltage modes a stable, variable DC voltage source can be used in conjunction with a DC voltmeter, (max 30V DC). (Refer to the 25 pin cage clamp connector wiring detail as an example of control circuitry) Circuit impedance 100kW. Polarity set for non-inverted response. Reverse polarity for inverted response.

For current modes the same DC source can be used in conjunction with a DC milliampere meter, (maximum 32mA). (See 25 pin cage clamp connector detail). Circuit impedance 250W. Polarity set for noninverted response. Reverse polarity for inverted response.

Trim - This function will match the pump's signal conditioner to the analogue process control signal if they do not fully coincide. The user will be asked to apply zero, 20% and the maximum voltage or current that is required to be the control signal. Press

Enter after adjusting the process signal to each input level.

Never apply mains voltage across pins on the 25-pin cage clamp connector. Up to 5V TTL may be applied to pins 7 and 5, but do not apply voltage across any other pins. Failure to heed this warning could cause permanent damage not covered by warranty. Do not use the mains power switch to control the pump for a high repetition of stop starts. The auto-control facility should be used.

Remote control

Pause dose This function will pause a dose for as long as a remote switch remains closed then allows the dose to continue when the switch is opened. Under Manual mode it will also act as a remote stop/start. Connect remote switch as in the Stop/Start diagram. Open to run pump, close to pause or stop pump.

http://www.watson-marlow.it/pdfs-global/m-624Di-gb-01.htm[10/07/2012 13:59:15]

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals

Stop/Start Connect remote switch between pins 7 and 16 of the 25-pin cage clamp connector. A TTL compatible logic input (Low 0V, High 5V) may be applied to pin 7. Low input stops the pump, high input runs the pump. With no connection, the pump will default to running.

Direction Connect remote switch between pins 5 and 16 and disable the front panel reversing control by linking pins 6 and 18 of the 25 pin cage clamp connector. Open switch for clockwise rotation, close for counter-clockwise. Alternatively a TTL compatible logic input (Low 0V, High 5V) may be applied to pin 5. Low input will run the pump in a counterclockwise direction, High input in a clockwise rotation. No connection; the pump will default to clockwise rotation.

Speed A remote potentiometer nominally 1kW and 2kW minimum 0.25W should be wired as shown. When using a remote potentiometer, do not apply a voltage/current control input signal at the same time. The pump must be calibrated for 0-12V analogue signal control under the "PROGRAM" option of Signal in Setup. Alternatively, the potentiometer may be used for the calibration procedure, instead of using the minimum and maximum analogue process signal settings, if it is set to its minimum and maximum positions.

Tachometer output This facility can be used to indicate motor speed or total the number of motor revolutions.

Footswitch A footswitch or handswitch will initiate the dose. The 624Di includes software protection against spurious signals caused by bouncing of the switch contacts. This feature is permanently activated (software setting fixed on "other") and only switches without hardware debouncing should be used.

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals

Care and maintenance

The only scheduled maintenance required for the 624Di is inspection of the motor brushes and their replacement before their length is less than 6mm. The life of the brushes will depend on the duty of the pump, but is expected to be a minimum of 3,000 hours at maximum speed.

If the pump requires cleaning, use a mild solution of detergent in water after removing the pumphead. Do not use strong solvents.

For gearbox rebuilds, use Lubriplate GR-132 (Bodine reference LG-23) only. This is a lithium combination type thickener, NL GI No.1 grade, non-corrosive extreme pressure lubricant. This product is water-resistant and resistant to a large degree to most other contaminants.

Guard safety warnings

The 624Di will be remotely stopped and display a warning if the guard is opened during operation. This safety feature is enabled under Manual, Dose, Analogue and RS232 operation.

Watson-Marlow Bredel E-Manuals

620RE, 620RE4 and 620R Key safety information

Before opening the pumphead guard please ensure that the following safety directions are followed.

For close-coupled drives, ensure that the pump is isolated from mains voltage. Ensure that there is no pressure in the pipeline.

If a tube failure has occurred, ensure that any product in the pumphead has been allowed to drain through the controlled waste to a suitable drain.

Ensure that protective clothing and eye protection are worn if hazardous products are being pumped.

620RE, 620RE4 and 620R Safe-guarding

Primary safety on 620 series pumps is provided by the tool-lockable pumphead guard. On electrically-powered cased 600 series pumps, secondary (backup) protection is provided in the form of an electrical interlock which stops the pump if the pumphead guard is opened (and only for so long as the guard is opened). The electrical interlock on cased pumps should never be used as primary protection. Always disconnect the mains power supply to the pump before opening the pumphead guard.

Only primary protection through the tool-lockable guard is provided on pneumatically powered 620 series cased pumps. Only primary protection through the tool lockable pumphead guard is provided on 620 series pumps fitted with industrial AC motors, but an interface kit to allow mains power to be switched by the pumphead guard interlock is available as an extra-cost option.

620RE, 620RE4 and 620R Pumping conditions

Pressure and viscosity

All pressure values in this operating instruction, from which performance and life figures have been calculated relate to peak pipeline pressures.

Although rated to 4 bar working pressure, this pump will generate in excess of 4 bar working pressure if pipeline restrictions are in place. In instances where it is critical that a working pressure of 4 bar is not exceeded, pressure relief valves should be installed in the pipeline.

For pumping duties of 2-4 bar pressure, only close coupled pumps should be used, fitted with 73 Shore hardness Marprene/Bioprene or standard STA-PURE tube elements. "M" in the tube element’s product order code denotes suitability for high pressure use.

When pumping duties of 0-2 bar pressure, use close coupled or cased pumps fitted with 64 Shore hardness elements or the standard range of continuous peristaltic pump tubing.

Viscosity handling is maximised by using 73 Shore hardness Marprene/Bioprene or STA-PURE tube elements in the pumphead.

Ensure that there is always a minimum of one metre of smooth bore flexible tubing connected to the discharge port of the pumphead. This will help minimise any impulse losses and pulsation in the pipeline. This is especially important with viscous fluids and rigid pipework.

620RE, 620RE4 and 620R Pump installation

A correctly engineered installation will promote the best possible tube life, so please ensure that the following guidelines are followed:

Avoid tight pipeline bends, pipe reducers and excessive lengths of smaller bore tubing than that in the pumphead, particularly in pipelines on the suction side. Ensure that connecting pipe work and fittings are suitably rated to handle the predicted pipeline pressure.

If rigid pipe work comes in close proximity to the pumphead, a drop out section of pipe work will simplify tube replacement.

Ensure that the controlled waste blanking plug is in position if the controlled waste port is not in use. See below.
