Application Solutions
Thermo Scientific FH100D/FH100DX Dispensing Pump Operating Manual 1-1

Thermo Scientific FH100D and FH100DX Dispensing Pump Systems
provide flow rates from 0.5 to 4,000 mL/min depending upon tubing
size.
The FH100D and FH100DX Dispensing Pumps provide a motor speed
repeatability of 0.25 percent to maximize productivity in precision
liquid dosing, batch dispensing and filling applications. A turndown
ratio up to 100:1, bidirectional flow and self-priming capabilities allow
for smooth, seamless operation and an extremely broad flow range
within one tubing size.
In addition to high accuracy, precision, repeatability and resolution of
speed (or flow rate), the FH100D and FH100DX Dispensing Pumps
feature a multi-language, intuitive, man/machine interface with a
graphical LCD display providing direct readout of pump speed (rpm),
flow rate (user-selected units), number of dispenses and menu options.
The easy-to-use keypad eliminates setpoint overshoot and provides easy
navigation through the menu options that include a number of on-screen
programming features.
These low-maintenance drives have diagnostic and control electronics
built into the motor housing for improved reliability, This, combined
with its high turndown, superior accuracy and intuitive interface make the
FH100D and FH100DX Dispensing Pumps ideally suited where
ultraprecise, repeatable flow control is required. The pumps accommodate
a variety of product fill rates, fill volumes and batch dispensing profiles.
Inherent to peristaltic pump technology, only the fluid contacts the
tubing providing for contamination-free pumping.
FH100D and FH100DX Dispensing Pumps are self-priming, can operate
dry without damage, are suitable for most chemicals and contain no
valves or seals. See Tubing Chemical Compatibility Guide within this CD.
General Description
Section 1
Introduction
Thermo Scientific1-2 FH100D/FH100DX Dispensing Pump Operating Manual

Section 2 Installation and Setup
• The drive should be mounted on a flat horizontal surface.
• The ambient air temperature should not exceed 104° F (40° C) and
adequate air flow should be provided for.
• Tubing should be clean and routed so that bend radii are at a
minimum four (4) times the tube diameter and as short as possible.
WARNING: Turn drive off before removing or installing tubing.
Fingers or loose clothing could get caught in drive mechanism.
• Use a tube size of appropriate diameter for the flow rate and
viscosity required.
• To maintain the best accuracy of flow rates, re-calibrate tubing
regularly. See Tubing Calibration Section of this manual.
• For tubing selection and compatibility, see Tubing Selection Guide
within this CD.
DANGERS: Remove power from the pump before any cleaning
operation is started.
High voltages exist and are accessible. Use extreme caution
when servicing internal components.
WARNING: Remove power from the pump before attempting any
maintenance.
Unpack the drive and retain all packing material until proper product
operation has been verified. Select the tubing according to the flow desired,
while considering chemical compatibility and tubing life.
Flow rate is determined by the size of the tubing in the Pump Head. When
precision tubing indicator links are used, best performance will be achieved
when input and output tubing connected to the link are the same ID as
the link.
72-320-200 FH100D Pump Systems accept tubing ID sizes of 1/32 in to
5/16 in (0.8 mm to 8.0 mm) by 1/16 in (1.6 mm) wall.
72-320-250 FH100DX Pump Systems accept tubing ID sizes of 3/16 in to
3/8 in (4.8 mm to 9.5 mm) by 3/32 in (2.4 mm) wall. For thick wall
pumps, the use of precision tubing indicator links is strongly recommended.
Please see the Accessories Section of this manual for part numbers.
For best results, select a tubing size with a mid-range at the desired flow
rate to be pumped.

Thermo Scientific FH100D/FH100DX Dispensing Pump Operating Manual 2-1
Tubing Size Selection

WARNINGS: Tubing breakage may result in fluid being
sprayed from pump. Use appropriate measures to protect
operator and equipment.
Turn Pump System off before removing or installing tubing.
Fingers or loose clothing could be caught in the pump
mechanism.
CAUTION: To avoid electrical shock, the power cord
protective grounding conductor must be connected to ground.
Not for operation in wet locations as defined by EN61010-1.
If the product is not used in a manner specified in the
instructions, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
The Pump Head has two tubing retainers, which hold tubing in place.
The occlusion bed retracts when you open the pump door and moves
forward when the door is closed.
To load tubing into the Pump Head do the following:
1. Make sure that the power switch is turned OFF.
2. Open the Pump Head door using the side latch.
3. Install any tube fittings, inserts or clamps before loading the tubing.
4. Open the top tubing retainer by using just one finger to open the
retainer, install tubing and release the retainer.

7. The tubing should be snug against the rotor, but not tight.
Correct Incorrect – too loose
Figure 2-6. Tube Loading Tension
8. Close the Pump Head door. Verify that the door is securely shut or the
pump will not spin.
Tubing should be inspected periodically and checked for tears, cracks, cut
marks, abrasions, inability to hold pressure, bubbles in the flow stream and
reduction or loss of flow. Tubing life may be extended by periodically
moving the worn tubing inside the occlusion bed of the pump to the
outside of the occlusion bed to the suction side of the pump. This will
avoid excessive tubing wear at any specific point. Always move the worn
tubing to the suction side of the pump.
CAUTION: When changing flow direction, allow the pump to
come to a complete stop before starting again. Failure to do so
could cause permanent damage to the motor.
1. Make sure the speed is set to the minimum setting.
2. Turn the power switch ON. Increase the speed to start the pump
action. The higher the rpm, the faster the speed of the pump.
3. The Pump Systems are self-priming. To begin pumping, select a flow
direction with the flow direction button, insert the intake and output
tubing into a reservoir, and turn the unit ON. Prime the tubing for at
least 5 minutes. If accurate flow control is important, allow the pump
to prime for approximately 20 minutes for more stable flow
conditions.
CAUTION: Some tubing formulation and size combinations may
require break-in at 100 RPM or less to start the pump. This period
is typically 10-20 minutes.

A lower case “c” should now be displayed when the calibrated tubing
size is selected. The volume units will depend on the flow rate units.
The flow rate unit mL/min will result in a volume unit of mL; oz/min
will result in a volume unit of oz.
Tubing Calibration Notes
• If the drive is stopped during calibration, empty the container and
re-start the procedure.
• Calibration time at maximum allowable flow rate (default max
flow rate) is 15 seconds and at minimum allowable flow rate
(approximately 6% of the maximum flow rate) is 4 minutes.
Select the CUSTOM tube size for other tubing sizes or lower
flow rates.
• Minimum and maximum flow rates will change after a tubing
calibration due to a re-calculation of the vol/rev.
• Optimum results are best obtained after tubing has been broken in
by running in pump for at least 10 minutes. Steps 7-10 can be
repeated as necessary to optimize the accuracy of the tubing cal.
CAL RUN TIME FORMULA
60 / (flow rate [mL/min] / cal volume [mL]) = cal run time (seconds)
INVALID CAL RUN TIME EXAMPLE
• tube size 13 flow rate range is 0.4 mL/min – 40.0 mL/min
• at flow rate of 1 mL/min, cal run time calculation is as follows:
60 / (1 mL/min / 10 mL) = 600 seconds
600 seconds exceed the max run time of 4 minutes (240 seconds)
NOTE: The minimum pump speed for preforming a tubing calibration is
25 rpm. Flow rate equivalents below 25 rpm will be reset to 25 rpm for
the tubing calibration.
