Note:
Ø Please read the manual carefully before operating the product.
Warning:
Ø Tubing may have crack due to wear. It results in the overflow of fluid from tubing. In that time human body and instruments
may be harmed. So users must check frequently and change tubing in time.
Ø Connect the power cord to the wall socket directly, and avoid using the extended electric wire.
Ø If the power cord or plug had wear and other damage, please disconnect the plug. (Hold the plug instead of the wire)
Ø If 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 need to maintain or repair.
Ø The user’s power socket must have 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:
Select analog speed regulation signal according to external port inputting signal, there are three options: 0-5V, 0-10V,4-20mA.
External control speed regulation can set the maximum speed for the pump, the maximum speed is 350rpm, the analog signal voltage
range is liner with the motor speed.
If the maximum speed is not 350rpm, the motor speed will be limited by the analog signal, motor speed analog signal
When the motor speed and analog signal reach the set maximum speed according to the corresponding proportional relationship, the
analog signal will be increased at this time, and the motor speed will run at the set maximum speed and will not increase with the analog
signal.(For example: Set the corresponding speed of 0V to 0 rpm, the corresponding speed of 5V to 350 rpm (2.5V should be 175rpm),
set the maximum speed to 175 rpm, external control inputting analog signal is 2.5V, the motor speed is 175 rpm in the time. The motor
speed will remain uncharged at 175 rpm after the input signal exceeds 2.5V.
