Note:
Please read the manual carefully before operating the product.
Warning:
Tubing may crack due to wear and results in the leak of fluid from tubing. This
can result in bodily harm to the user or damage to equipment. Inspect the
tubing frequently and change tubing before cracks or damage occurs.
Connect the power cord to the wall socket directly, and avoid using an electric
extension cord.
If the power cord or plug has wear and/or other damage, please disconnect the
plug. (Hold the plug instead of the wire.)
If any of the following situations happened, please turn off the power supply and
disconnect the plug. (Hold the plug instead of the wire.)
1. Fluid splash on the pump.
2. You think the pump needs to be maintained or repaired.
The user’s power socket must have a ground wire and have reliable grounding.
Note: The foot pedal switch and other external control plugs must be connected or
disconnected in the power-off status to prevent the external control interface from
being burned.

Note: When the pump comes with two pump heads, the output of two pump heads is
connected to one channel with a Y type connector. You will need to choose 2* pump
head model. If the two pump heads are to use two channels, then you need to choose
single pump head model numbers.
For example, the pump comes with two EasyPumpI, and output connects with a Y type
connector to one channel. When choosing a pump head, you need to select
2*EasypumpI, as in below picture:
2*Easypum pI
In other cases, such as: The pump come with one pump head EasypumpI, or with two
EasypumpI to use as two channels, or with 3 or 4 EasypumpI pump heads, you need
to select single pump head EasypumpI, as in below picture:

Click System Settingsbutton in the main interface, then click External Speed
Control button to enter External Speed Control Settings interface.
According to the external input signal, to set the analog signal: 0-5 V, 0 -10V or 4-
20mA. Between analog signal voltage range and motor speed, there is a linear
relationship (when the working speed limit is off).
With the maximum working speed limit turned on, the motor speed will be
limited. For example, if 0V to 0rpm, 5V to 600rpm (then 2.5V should be 300rpm).
But if the maximum working speed limit is 300rpm, when the external input analog
signal is 2.5V, the motor speed is 300rpm. After the input signal exceeds 2.5V, the
motor speed remains unchanged at 300 rpm.

4.8 Communication Setting Interface
Click System Settingsbutton in the main interface, then click Communication button
to enter Communication Settings interface.
This pump supports MODBUS-RTU Mode. Please select baud rates and
communication interface (RS485/RS232). Click Slave No. button to enter peristaltic
pump address No. (range:1-32). Turn the communication enable toggle to ON. This
pump can now communicate with master, receiving master signal.
Note: After settings, the peristaltic pump only receives communication control when
in the main interface. It is invalid for the communication control in the other settings
interface.

fixed time and volume. Others display transferring mode.
If fixed time and volume is turned on, the target volume and running time are pre-set
parameters and are unable to be amended. In other modes, the running time is 60s. You
can click the run time button to amend the running time.
Before the pump works, you need to calibrate the flow rate to ensure the
transferring or dispensing accuracy
Process as below:
(1) Confirm the running time. If fixed time and volume function, the running time
is a pre-set time and unable to be changed.
(2) Click Test button to start the test. A countdown displays the run time. It will stop
automatically and display a numerical keyboard. Input the actual volume, then
it will ask whether to continue the test (suggest more than 3 times). Choose Ye s
and the pump will test again. Choose No to go back to the calibration interface.
(3) After clicking the Test button, while the pump is running, you can click the Stop
button to stop the test.

(4) After you finish the tests, the actual volume area displays the average data. Click
the CAL button and a prompt shows the calibration is successful.
(5) If you need higher accuracy, you can click Add and Dec button to micro adjust
the flow rate to reach high accuracy transferring and dispensing.
(6) Click the Reset button to restore to the factory default calibration parameters.
Flow Rate Transferring Mode: If the actual flow rate during the production process
is larger or smaller than the set-up flow rate, you can micro adjust the flow rate online
without affecting the product line.
Fixed Time and Volume Mode: If the dispensing volume is larger or smaller than the
set-up volume, you can micro adjust the volume online, no need to stop the pump.
Fixed Volume Measurement Mode: Does not support online micro adjust function.
Click the Calibration button from the main interface to enter the flow rate
calibration interface.
Now only the Add, Dec, and Esc button are usable. Other buttons are not useable.
Click the Add or Dec button to micro adjust the flow rate or volume.
