Do not strap the control and mains power cables together.

Do keep delivery and suction tubes as short and direct as possible - though ideally not shorter than 1m - and follow the straightest route. Use bends of large radius: at least four times the tubing diameter. Ensure that connecting pipework and fittings are suitably rated to handle the predicted pipeline pressure. Avoid pipe reducers and lengths of smaller bore tubing than the pumphead section, particularly in pipelines on the suction side. Any valves in the pipeline (not usually needed with a self-prim- ing peristaltic pump) must not restrict the flow. Any valves in the flow line must be open when the pump is running.

Do use suction and delivery pipes equal to or larger than the bore of the tube in the pumphead. When pumping viscous fluids use pipe runs with a bore several times larger than the pump tube.

Do ensure that on longer tube runs at least 1m of smooth bore flexible tubing is con- nected to the inlet and discharge port of the pumphead to help to minimize impulse losses and pulsation in the pipeline. This is especially important with viscous fluids and when connecting to rigid pipework.

Do site the pump at or just below the level of the fluid to be pumped if possible. This will ensure flooded suction and maximum pumping efficiency.

Do keep the pumphead track and all moving parts clean and free from contamina- tion and debris.

Do run at slow speed when pumping viscous fluids. When using the 520R pumphead, a 6.4mm or 4.8mm bore tube with a 2.4mm wall will give best results. Tube smaller than this will generate a high friction loss, so reducing the flow. Tube with a larger bore may not have sufficient strength to restitute fully. Flooded suction will enhance pumping performance in all cases, particularly for materials of a viscous nature.

Do recalibrate after changing pump tubes, fluid, or any connecting pipework. It is also recommended that the pump is recalibrated periodically to maintain accuracy.

IP66 / NEMA 4X models may be hosed down, but should not be immersed. Protect from prolonged UV exposure.

When using Marprene or Bioprene continuous tubing, do re-tension the tube after the first 30 minutes of running.

Tube selection: The chemical compatibility lists published in Watson-Marlow pub- lications are guides. If in doubt about the compatibility of a tube material and the duty fluid, request a Watson-Marlow tube sample card for immersion trials.
