Omega FPU500 - Manual

1 Introduction 1-1 1.1 Description The peristaltic pump offers exceptional simplicity, ease-of-use, and variable flow capacity. The pump is self-primingand non-siphoning. It prevents back flow since one of thethree rollers is always compressing the tubing. As one sectionof a tube fatigues, simply mo...

4 Tubing Information 4-1 4.1 Selecting Tubing Select a tubing material and size that is right for yourapplication (the fluid and flow rate that you are pumping). Table 9-2 in Chapter 9, shows the average flow rates fordifferent size tubing. Normalized flow rates (mL perrevolution) vary significantly...

5 Operating the Pump 5-1 5.1 Introduction This chapter discusses the following topics: • Loading the tubing (Section 5.2) • Operating the Pump (Section 5.3) and • Adjusting the Clamp Screw (Section 5.4). Read each section thoroughly to guarantee successful pumpoperation.

Operating the Pump 5 5-2 5.2 Loading the Tubing Before you load the tubing in the pump, make sure thatpower to the motor is turned off and that the rotor hascome to a complete stop. The rotor is partially exposedwhen the pump is in the open position. Follow this procedure (refer to Figures 5-1 throu...

Operating the Pump 5 5-4 5.3 Operating the Pump With the pump set up, adjust all control settings for the pumpmotor and start pumping. Figure 5-5 shows fluid flowdirections with respect to motor directions. Extensive testing has shown that the minimum motor speedrequired to prime the tubing varies s...

Operating the Pump 5 5-5 Figure 5-5b. Inlet and Outlet Flow 5.4 Adjusting the Clamp Screw Once you start the pump, you may need to adjust the ClampScrew (4) slightly, to prevent the tube from creeping (moving)through the pump. Creeping tends to occur on tubing oflarger sizes and tubing made from low...

6 Maintenance 6-1 6.1 Introduction • No lubrication is required for the pump. All bearingsare pre-sealed and rated for long life. • After many hours of use, fine particles of tubing willtend to accumulate inside the pump and on the rollers.Use a high pressure air hose (60 PSI) to blow out most ofthe...

Maintenance 6 6-2 6.2 Replacing the Rotor Assembly (Part Number FPU500-RA) In the replacement kit you will find one Rotor Assembly ( 13 ) and two Washers ( 12 ) . Figure 6-1 shows the exploded view of the pump. Figure 6-1. Exploded View of the Pump

7 Troubleshooting Guide 7-1 Problem Solution No flow out of the outlet tubing 1. Check to see that the Stator is snapped shut. If it is, push down onthe Stator while the motor isrunning. This action enhances theself-priming capability of the pump. 2. Make sure the tubing is loaded properly. The tubi...

8 Technical Details 8-1 8.1 Theory of Operation A peristaltic pump is a fluid pump which operates to create amoving region of compression along a flexible tube. Themotion of the compressed region of the tube along its axisforces fluid ahead and creates a partial vacuum behind theregion. This partial...

Technical Details 8 8-2 Because of the back tab and groove found in the Rotor Shaftdesign, pumps can be stacked one of top of another andattached to a common pump motor. Only one motor needs tobe purchased to pump fluid between several differentcontainers. The Latch Assembly of the pump allows the S...
