1SafetyPrecautions
ISMATEC®tubingpumpsaredesignedforpumpinganddispensingapplicationsinlaboratoriesandindustry.As
suchitisassumedthatGoodLaboratoryPractice(GLP)andthefollowingrecommendationswillbeobserved.
Thepumpmustnotbeoperatedoutsidethedesignedoperatingandenvironmentalconditions.In
particular,itistheuser'sresponsibilitynottoexceedthespecifiedmaximumdifferentialpressureforthe
pumphead.
Thepumpmustnotbeused:
‐foranymedicalapplications.
‐inexplosionproofchambersorinthepresenceofflammablegasesorfumes.
Thepumpmustbeswitchedoffwhenpumpheads,cassettesortubingareinsertedorchanged.
Thepermeabilityoftubingdependsonthematerialusedandpressureconditions.Tubingcanalso
becomeelectro‐staticallycharged.Pleasebeawareofpossiblehazardswhenhandlingtubinginexplosi‐
on‐proofchambers.
Pumpheadsconsistofrevolvingparts.Therefore,thepumpmustnotbeoperatedbeforethecassettes
arefullyseatedonthepumphead.
Donotmanipulatethepumpheadbeforethepumpisswitchedoffanddisconnectedfromthemain
powersupply.
Useextremecautiontoensurethatnopartofyourbodysuchasfingers,longhair,etc.orjewelry,or
looseobjectssuchascablesortubing,etc.arenearthepumpheadduringoperation.
Tubingcantearandburstduringoperation.Thenecessarysafetymeasuresbasedonthespecificsituation
mustbetaken.Whenpumpingcorrosivemediawerecommendplacingthepumpinacollectingbasin.
Thepumpshouldnotcomeincontactwithliquid.
Donotopenorremovethehousingwhilethepumpisoperating.
Serviceandrepairscarriedoutbythecustomerorbythird‐partycompaniesvoidsallwarranties.
Appliancecouplerofthepowersupplyisusedtodisconnectthedevicefrommainssupply.
2Warranty
Wewarrantthepumptobefreeofdefects,providedtheyhavebeeninstalledandoperatedcorrectlyaccording
toouroperatinginstructionsforaperiodof2yearsfromdateofpurchase.
Ifproductionormaterialfaultscanbeproven,thedefectivepartswillberepairedorreplacedfreeofchargeatour
discretion.
AdefectivepumpmustbereturnedintheoriginalISMATEC®packagingorinpackagingofequalquality.
Thedurationofthewarrantyisnotaffectedbymakingaclaimforwarrantyservice.
Furtherclaimsareexcluded.
Shippingcostsarechargedtothecustomer.
Ourwarrantybecomesinvalidinthecaseof:
•Improperoperationbytheuser,orifthepumpisdivertedfromitsproperuse.
•Unauthorizedmodificationormisusebytheuserorbyathirdparty.
•Impropersitepreparationandmaintenance.
•Operationoutsideoftheenvironmentalandelectricalspecificationsfortheproduct.
•Useofthird‐partysoftware,hardware,accessoriesorconsumablespurchasedbytheuserandwhichdo

valuesandpumpingmodes.Usingthearrows,thecursorcanbemovedtoanyfieldto
selectoredit.

Oncethecursorisinthefieldthatyouwouldliketoselectoredit,presstheOK/Enterbutton.
Whenhighlightingnumericvalues,thecursorwillhighlighttheentirevalue.Pressing
OK/Enterwillthenallowthecursortohighlightonlyonedigitforediting.Usingthe
directionalarrowsupordownwillincreaseordecreasethevalueandleftandrightwillmovethecursor
tothenextdigittobeedited.Oncethevalueiscorrect,pressOK/Enterandthecursorwillthenhighlight

OK/Enterbuttonwillallowtheparametertobechangedbytogglingthroughalistusingthedirectional
arrows.Oncetheselectionhasbeenmade,pressingtheOK/Enterbuttonwillsavetheselectionand
exittheeditingmode.

TheRun/Stopbuttonisusedtostartorstopallthechannels.Whenthepumpisidle,
pressingtheRun/Stopbuttonwillstartpumpingtothesettingsforeachchannel.Whenthe
pumpisrunning,pressingtheRun/Stopbuttonwillstopallchannels.Ifatimedorrepeating
