THE FOLLOWING CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND INJURY:
- Improper use
- Removal of the protections and/or disconnection of protective de-
vices
- Lack of inspections and maintenance
The person responsible for safety should therefore guarantee that the pump is transpor-
ted, installed, put in service, used, maintained and repaired by qualified personnel who
should possess:
- Specific training and sufficient experience for the tasks.
- Knowledge of the technical standards and applicable laws.
- Knowledge of the national and local safety and installation stan-
dards.
Any work carried out on the electrical part of the pump should be authorized by the per-
son responsible for safety.
Given that the pump is intended to form part of a system, it is the responsibility of whoever
supervises the installation of the entire system to guarantee absolute safety, adopting the
necessary measures of additional protection.
Live parts
Possible consequence: fatal or very serious injuries.
- Risk mitigation: the device must be disconnected from the power
supply before it is opened
- Isolate damaged, faulty or manipulated devices from the mains in
order to de-energize.
Lack of emergency stop switch
Possible consequence: fatal or very serious injuries.
An emergency stop switch must be connected for the entire system.
This should enable the entire system to be shut down in the event of an
emergency in such a way that the overall system can be brought into
a safe condition.
Unauthorized access
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
- Risk mitigation: ensure that there can be no unauthorized access to
the pump or to the system.

Hazardous media/contamination of persons and equipment
Possible consequences: Fatal / serious injuries, material damage.
- Ensure that the pump hoses are chemically resistant against the
media being handled
- Always observe the safety data sheets for the media to be handled.
The system operator must ensure that these safety data sheets are
available and that kept up-to-date.
- The safety data sheets for the fluid being handled are always deci-
sive for initiating countermeasures and/or first aid in the event of
leakage of the fluid.
- Observe the general restrictions in relation to viscosity limits, che-
mical resistance and density.
- Always switch the pump off before exchanging the pump hose
Incorrect and improper use
Possible consequence: fatal or very serious injuries.
- The unit is not intended to convey or regulate gases or solid media
- Do not exceed the rated pressure, speed or temperature for the
pump
- Maximum pressure on suction/inlet side is 3 bar (45 psi approx.)
and maximum pressure on suction/inlet side is 0,5 bar (7,25 psi
approx.) only in pumps with Norprene tube).
- The unit may only be used in accordance with the technical data
and specifications provided in these operating instructions and in
the operating instructions for the individual components
- Only switch the pump on if it has been properly fastened to the
floor
- Only switch the pump on if the front cover has been attached.
- Do not carry out any maintenance operations or dismantle the
pump without first making sure that the pipes are not under pres-
sure and are empty or isolated.
- In the case of the hose becoming stuck during extraction or fitting it
is necessary to reverse the direction of the pump, re-lubricate, and
then repeat the operation.
- As the peristaltic pump is volumetric and its functioning is positive
displacement, it is necessary to prevent a possible overload of pres-
sure, due to, for example, the accidental closure of a valve. For this
reason, it is advisable to fit a safety device such as: a safety valve,
pressure limiter, etc.
-This pump is NOT supplied for use in areas of risk from explosion.
ATEX versions of North Ridge pumps are available and they are
supplied with a special ATEX version of the Instruction Manual.

Operational lifetime of the pump hoses
Possible consequence: fatal or very serious injuries.
- The hose has an indeterminate life and due to the possibility of its
breakage or deterioration, the user is responsible for the preven-
tion of a possible (although most unlikely) incorporation of particles
from the hose into the product being pumped. This can be achieved
by means of filtration, a hose rupture alarm or other means suitable
for the respective process
- In addition, the operational lifetime of the pump hoses cannot be
precisely specified. For this reason, the possibility of fracture and
consequential leakage of liquids must be accounted for. If the hose
rupture alarm (optional) is fitted, then the pump can be stopped
and/or an electrical valve can be activated.
CIP cleaning
- In the event of CIP cleaning, it is necessary to obtain information
from the manufacturer about correct installation of the pump (a
special installation is required) as well as regarding the compatibi-
lity of the cleaning agents with the pump hoses and the hydraulic
connections.
- Cleaning should be undertaken at the recommended maximum
temperature.
Direction of rotation/flow direction
Possible consequence: material damage, destruction of the unit.
- The pump’s direction of rotation in relation to the desired flow di-
rection must be checked prior to every start.
Disconnect the pump from the mains
Possible consequence: personal injury.
- Work may only be carried out on the pump after it has previously
been switched off and disconnected from the mains.
Environmental influences
Possible consequence: material damage up to destruction of the unit.
- The device is suitable for outdoor operation once it is covered and
protected from rain and direct sunlight. Ambient conditions must
also be respected, see Section 7.2 & 7.3.
- Take suitable measures to protect the device from environmental
influences such as UV rays, moisture, frost, etc.

The RBT Series is a positive displacement pump. The feed chemical is conveyed by the ro-
tor squeezing the hose in the direction of flow. No valves are needed for this. This ensures
gentle handling of the metered media.
Maximum pressure on suction/inlet side is 3 bar (45 psi approx.) and maximum pressure
on suction/inlet side is 0,5 bar (7,25 psi approx.) only in pumps with Norprene tube).
The RBT Series has been designed for safe and uncomplicated operation, as well as strai-
ghtforward maintenance.
The RBT Series can be used for many different media. However, this pump type is often
the optimal solution for abrasive, shear-sensitive and viscous media.
Typical areas of use include processes where only a low discharge pressure is required
(max. 15 bar).

- Ensure that the pump has not been damaged during transportation or storage.
Immediately report any damage to the supplier.
- Ensure that all the packaging has been removed.
- Check that the information printed on the identification plate corresponds with
the order.
- Check the operating instructions in order to ensure that the flow values, pressures
and power consumption of the motor do not exceed rated values.
- Ensure that the hose is suitable for the fluid to be conveyed and that it is not
damaged.
- Make sure that the temperature of the liquid does not exceed the recommended
temperature range.
- Ensure that there is enough space for free airflow around the motor.
- Ensure that no nearby objects or direct sunshine radiate additional heat to the
motor.
- Install a manometer in the pressure line if the back-pressure value is unknown.
Maximum pressure on suction/inlet side is 3 bar (45 psi approx.) and maximum
pressure on suction/inlet side is 0,5 bar (7,25 psi approx.) only in pumps with
Norprene tube).
- The pump is to be positioned as near as possible to the liquid container, so that
the suction side is kept as short and straight as possible.
- The suction line must be absolutely airtight and made of a suitable material, so
that it does not collapse under vacuum.
- The diameter must correspond to the rated diameter of the pump hose. A larger
diameter is recommended in the event of viscous liquids.
- The pump is self-priming and does not require an admission valve.
- The pump is reversible and the suction side can be connected to either hydraulic
connection of the pump. Normally the option is selected which is best suited to
the physical conditions of the rest of the installation.
- It is recommended to use flexible piping between the fixed pipes and the hydraulic
connections of the pump, in order to avoid the transmission of vibrations.

- In order to achieve optimal life of the pump hose, the compression force of the
pump hose can be adjusted by placing a number of shims under the pressing
shoe. The shims (2) are fitted between the rotor (1) and the pressing shoe (3). The
number of shims will vary for each counter pressure situation.
1. Hose in normal shape.
2. Insufficient squeezing (back flowing media in the cavity will destroy the hose
within a short period of time).
3. Perfect squeezing.
4. Excessive squeezing (increased wear and tear to pump and hose).
The shims are fitted in the factory. The number of shims can be adapted to the actual
operating conditions according to the following tables.
