Section 1: Introduction
Masterflex
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
SAFE OPERATION
e REGLO Digital Pump Drive with Advanced Connectivity is designed for pumping and dispensing
applications in laboratory and process environments. Confirm that the pump drive is operated only in the
manner specified in this operating manual and that safe work practices and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
are followed. Misuse of the pump drive may compromise built-in safety protections and result in injury and/
or damage to equipment. Do not operate the pump drive with water on the surface of the touchscreen.
e following Safety Symbols are used in this documentation:
!CAUTION: Risk of danger. Consult operating manual for nature of hazard and corrective actions.
CAUTION: Risk of crushing. Keep fingers away from the rotor while the pump is in operation.
Stop pump before loading or unloading tubing.
CAUTION: Hot Surface. Do not touch.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. Consult operating manual for nature of hazard and corrective
actions.
Please observe the following cautions and recommendations:
!CAUTION: Do not operate the pump in a way that exceeds the designed operating and environ-
mental conditions outlined in this operating manual.
!CAUTION: Do not exceed the specified maximum differential pressure for the pump head.
!
CAUTION: e pump must not be used:
• As a medical device.
• In explosion proof chambers or in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
CAUTION: e circuit between the mains power supply and the pump must be connected to
earth ground.
CAUTION: Do not handle the pump head before the pump is switched off and disconnected
from the mains power supply.
!CAUTION: e pump must be switched off before removing the pump head.

!CAUTION: Do not open or remove the housing while the pump is operating.
!CAUTION: Tubing can tear and burst during operation. It is the responsibility of the customer to
take the necessary precautions to avoid injury or damage to equipment.
!
CAUTION: It is recommended that any repairs be performed only by an authorized technician.
If service and repairs are performed by the customer or by any third party company, Masterflex
denies all responsibility.
Media Containing Particles
Piston Pumps:
• It is recommended that the pump head be rinsed after every pumping process to prevent the piston from
seizing due to remaining particles (especially after pumping media containing salt and protein).
• Do not pump media containing particles that exceed a diameter of 0.8 mm.
• Piston fractures are not covered by your warranty.
Gear Pumps:
!CAUTION: Do not use gear pumps to pump liquids containing particles. Even the smallest parti-
cles can have an abrasive effect that can damage or destroy a gear pump within a few seconds.
Corrosive Liquids
Corrosive liquids may eventually produce leak paths around the sealing surfaces of the pump head. It is
recommended that the pump be regularly inspected for leaks.
Dry Running
• It is recommended that the pump head is filled with the liquid to be pumped prior to operation.
• While priming, ensure the pump does not run dry for more than 15 seconds.
Pump Against Pressure
e REGLO piston pump system can be used for continuous operation at a maximum differential pressure of
6.9 bar.
!CAUTION: Please consult factory for maximum pressure capabilities.
