Getting to know your Rigel Multi-Flo 2Before you switch on!
Ensure the flow direction is as per diagram. The flow inlet is the
top connection whilst the flow outlet is positioned below the
inlet for each channel.
Ensure that the internal diameter of the outlet tubing is 3.2mm
or greater.
Ensure that the length of outlet tubing is kept as
short as reasonably practical.
Use de-ionised water when performing tests on the Rigel Multi-Flo
To help prevent the formation of microscopic air bubbles in the pump chamber, keep the
Multi-Flo unit primed unless draining is absolutely necessary.
If the Multi-Flo has been drained, to clear any microscopic air bubbles in the pump and
pipework that could affect results, prime with 25ml Isopropyl Alcohol, followed by 50ml de-
ionised water to flush the alcohol from the system.
To ensure proper functioning, and reduce the chance of malfunction, the
Multi-Flo should be drained prior to storage or being transported.
