Omega Vehicle Security FPU500 manual Stacking More than Two Pumps

Page 40

8Technical Details

Because of the back tab and groove found in the Rotor Shaft design, pumps can be stacked one of top of another and attached to a common pump motor. Only one motor needs to be purchased to pump fluid between several different containers.

The Latch Assembly of the pump allows the Stator to be easily opened and closed, allowing for quick tubing changes. Push a spring-loaded area on the Latch to open the Stator. Push the Stator shut and it snaps into place. The pump dimensions are set to allow pumping of tubing with a broad range of sizes. A Clamp Screw actuates a Clamp Plate. This plate pushes the tubing against two walls in the Lower Shield, acting to prevent the tubing from creeping. The Clamp Screw and Clamp Plate are designed with sufficient travel to prevent “creeping” in a broad range of tube sizes.

8.4 Stacking More than Two Pumps

Optional mounting screws are available to stack two pumps. However, the number of pumps that can be stacked is limited only by the motor power available. In general, up to

1⁄20 horsepower (38 watts) of motor power is required to operate each pump up to 600 RPM.
