1 Safety Precautions
The PuraLev®600MU pump system is designed to be used in industrial production machines and equipment
containing hydraulic circuits. Typical applications are Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment. Installation
shall be done by qualified personnel only. Following safety precautions and all “CAUTION”, “WARNING” and
“DANGER” indications in the relevant sections shall be followed.
CAUTION
Do not under any circumstances open the controller or motor. Levitronix®does
not assume responsibility for damage, which occurs under such circumstances.
CAUTION
High magnetic field strength of pump impeller.
The pump system contains a rotor magnet with high field strength. This may alter
or damage the calibration of sensitive electronic devices and measuring
instruments in the immediate surroundings. Keep at a safe distance from
computers, monitors and all magnetic data storage media (e.g. disks, credit
cards, audio and video tapes etc.)
!
WARNING
Hazardous voltage may be present.
In case of the usage of an inadequate AC/DC power supply, mains voltages may
be present (even if the system is designed for 48VDC). The usage of a galvanic
separated power supply, which is certified by a 3rd party (UL or CE), is highly
recommended. The controller must be grounded and placed in a spill protected
electrical cabinet. Do not under any circumstances open the powered controller.
The usage of galvanic separated AC/DC supply is highly recommended.
!
WARNING
High magnetic field strength of pump impeller.
The pump system contains a rotor magnet with high field strength. Pacemakers
may be influenced and magnetic forces may lead to contusions. Keep distance
to pacemakers and handle impeller with care.
!
WARNING
TOXIC CHEMICALS may be present.
When using the system to pump chemicals, skin contact and toxic gases may
be hazardous to your health. Wear safety gloves and other appropriate safety
equipment.
!
WARNING
Motors for ATEX / IECEx applications: only specific types of motors LPM-600.x
are classified for the use in ATEX Zone 2 classified locations. Refer to the
corresponding section in the manual.
!
WARNING
Do Not Operate the Metallic Pump Head Dry!
In case of failure in dry running conditions, the failing rotating impeller of the
metallic pump head can cause sparks. Precautions must be taken, to avoid
explosive atmospheres within the pump head under any circumstances. Dry
running must be avoided and the pump head must be filled with liquid at any
time while the impeller is rotating.

2.2 System Overview and General Specification
2.2.1 Stand-Alone System Configuration
The stand-alone pump system configuration (Figure 3), consists of a controller with an integrated user panel
to set the speed manually. The speed is automatically stored in the internal EEPROM of the controller. As an
option, the speed can also be set with an analog signal.
Figure 3: Standard system configuration for standalone operation
(Speed setting with integrated user panel)
2.2.2 Extended System Configuration
The extended version of the pump system (Figure 4) consists of a controller with an extended PLC interface.
This allows setting the speed by an external signal and enables precise closed-loop flow or pressure control
in connection with either a flow or a pressure sensor. A USB interface allows communication with a PC in
connection with the Levitronix®Service Software. Hence parameterization, firmware updates and failure
analysis are possible.

3.2 Power Supply and Consumption
Figure 14 shows the typical power consumption of the system. If other AC/DC power supplies than the standard
specified ones are used, it is recommended to evaluate them under demanding operating situations like fast
braking from maximum speed and during power on and take-off of the impeller.

3.3 Temperature Monitoring
To avoid overheating of the system, the controller and motor temperatures are monitored. If the controller
temperature exceeds 70°C (158°F) or the motor temperature 90°C (194°F) for a duration of more than 10
minutes, the system goes into an error state and the pump stops. At 80°C (176 F) controller temperature or
100°C (212°F) motor temperature, the system stops immediately.

3.4 Thermal Management
3.4.1 Motor Temperature
The motor temperature depends on the ambient and liquid temperature, as well as on the hydraulic operation
point. Figure 17 and Figure 18 illustrate the temperature characteristics of the motor depending on these
parameters. For higher liquid temperatures and hydraulic operating points active cooling is recommended for
example with the air cooling module ACM-600.2 (Figure 19) or the fan cooling module FCM-600.1 (Figure 20).

(Typical values based on measurements and interpolations.)
All above presented thermal data are typical values, which are partly based on measurements and partly on
interpolations with a simplified thermal model and are therefore only guideline values and are suitable for a
first layout of the basic thermal concept. It is recommended to check the thermal values with the motor placed
on the final location and under worst case performance conditions of the application.
In order to account for thermal variations (like ambient temperature, closed chemical cabinets or corners
without ventilations) and to not significantly reduce the MTBF of the motor it is recommended to keep about
20°Csafety distance to the absolute thermal limit of the motor (90°C) when designing the thermal concept of
the pump system.

3.4.2 Controller Temperature
Depending on the ambient temperature and the placement of the controller additional cooling may be required
(see Figure 21). To improve cooling of the controller, place the device into a moving air stream. If the controller
is mounted in a compact area or adjacent to additional heat sources (e.g. a 2nd controller) ensure that there is
sufficient ventilation.

3.5 Hydraulic Circuit Design
Following general design rules help to operate the pump system optimally considering efficiency, optimum
priming behavior and low shear forces:
1. The general rule for minimum shear forces and optimum priming behavior is to minimize the pressure drop in the
inlet circuit and avoid negative pressure at the inlet of the pump head.
2. Minimize tubing length at the inlet of the pump head and maximize the ID (not lower than 1” is recommended).
This reduces the pressure drop and the tendency of cavitation.
3. Avoid any restrictions, valves, elbows, bended tubing and sharp edges at the inlet circuit of the pump head, which
potentially causes cavitation resulting in higher shear forces and bubble collection in the pump head with the
danger of priming loss.
4. Choose correctly aligned sealing rings and fitting adaptors to connect tubing to the in- and outlet of the pump
head. Consult the dimension drawings of the sealing ring and fitting adaptor manufacturer and check with the in-
and outlet dimensions shown in Figure 9. Miss-aligned sealing rings and fittings can be the cause of increased
shear forces and cavitation effects.
5. Place the pump at the lowest point of the hydraulic circuit. Optimum is as much as possible below a tank or
reservoir. This optimizes priming behavior and keeps the inlet pressure positive for low shear forces.
6. Keep the liquid level in the reservoir tank or bag as high as possible, which increases the inlet pressure of the
pump head and minimizes heat up of the liquid.
7. In general, the pump system placement and hydraulic circuit shall be designed that gas bubbles can leave the
pump housing and that the pump head remains primed.
8. To minimize heat up of the liquid the overall pressure drop in the hydraulic circuit shall be reduced as much as
possible.
9. It shall be avoided to pump longer times against a closed valve, which can cause heat-up of the liquid and higher
shear forces.
10.At higher liquid temperature the rules mentioned above become more important due to higher cavitation tendency
of the liquid.
11.As the LPP-600.7/18 pump heads and the fittings are made out of plastics the usage of 3-part clamps instead of
2-part clamps (see Figure 22) for in- and outlet connection is recommended to prevent asymmetric stress during
high temperature treatments like SIP (steam in place) or autoclaving causing sealing and leakage issues.
Figure 22: 3-part clamps versus 2-parts
12.Load and stress at the inlet and outlet by heavy tubing and improper mounting alignment shall be avoided (see
Figure 23) as this can cause leakage issues due to distortion of the plastic pump housing.
Figure 23: Avoidance of stress forces and torques at the inlet and outlet of the pump head
Contact the Levitronix®Technical Service department (see Section 8) for more detailed considerations and
support on the design of the hydraulic circuit.
