Equipment (WEEE) Directive.
The supplied "Bolt Down Bracket"must be fitted to this pump in
situations where the pumphead would be unsupported.
An unsupported pumphead is likely to cause the pump unit to tip up
and fall from its mounting location, which may cause damage or
injury.

Fundamental work with regard to lifting, transportation, installation,
starting-up, maintenance and repair should be performed by qualified
personnel only. The unit must be isolated from mains power while
work is being carried out. The motor must be secured against
accidental start-up.
Removal of the track and cartridge replacement should only be carried
out by suitably trained personnel using the appropriate service tool.
Always isolate the pump from the mains power supply using the
switch on the front of the unit (or other external means) before
opening any track, or performing any positioning, removal or
maintenance operation.
Only restore power after all parts are correctly refitted in place and
locked.
Any operators or users who have not been suitably trained should not
perform this task or have access to the tool.
This pump weighs more than 38kg (the exact weight depends on the
model and pumphead - see on the pump). Lifting should be performed
according to standard Health and Safety guidelines.
There is a user-replaceable type fuse in the fuse holder positioned to
the left of the power input connector at the back of the pump. In some
countries, the mains power plug contains an additional replaceable
fuse.
m-Quantum 600-gb-01 7

There are no user-serviceable fuses or parts inside this pump.
Connect power using the supplied Harting PushPull Power®cable.
The mains plug at the opposite end of the cable is NOT IP66 rated. It
is your responsibility to ensure that the connection to the mains
supply is IP66 rated.
The Harting connector used to provide power to the pump, must be
correctly installed/sealed to IP66 by firmly pushing until latched and
then be fixed with the supplied clip, power must not be
connected/disconnected under load.
This pump must be used only for its intended purpose.
The pump must be accessible at all times to facilitate operation and maintenance. Access
points must not be obstructed or blocked. Do not fit any devices to the drive unit other
than those tested and approved by Watson- Marlow. Doing so could lead to injury to
persons or damage to property for which no liability can be accepted.
The pump’s front main switch and mains power plug are the
disconnecting devices (for isolating the motor drive from the mains
supply in an emergency). Ensure the pump is positioned to allow easy
access to disconnect the unit.
If hazardous fluids are to be pumped, safety procedures specific to
the particular fluid and application must be put in place to protect
against injury to persons.
This product does not comply with the ATEX directive and must not be
used in explosive atmospheres.

Ensure the chemicals to be pumped are compatible with the
pumphead, tubing, pipework and fittings to be used with the pump.
Please refer to the chemical compatibility guide which can be found at:
www.wmftg.com/chemical. If you need to use the pump with any
other chemical please contact Watson-Marlow to confirm compatibility.
Pump will start as soon as power is applied if Auto restart is on and
pump was running when power was disconnected.
There are moving parts inside the pumphead. Before opening the tool-
unlockable track, ensure that the following safety directions are
followed:
1. Ensure the pump is isolated from the mains power using the
power switch on the front of the unit (or other external means).
2. Ensure that there is no pressure in the pipeline.
3. If a tube failure has occurred, ensure that any fluid in the
pumphead has been allowed to drain to a suitable vessel,
container or drain.
4. Ensure that appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is
worn.
Exterior surfaces of the pump may become hot during operation. The
unit should be allowed to cool prior to conducting any repositioning or
maintenance operations.

4 Peristaltic pumps - an overview
Peristaltic pumps are the simplest possible pump, with no valves, seals or glands to clog or
corrode. The fluid contacts only the bore of a tube, eliminating the risk of the pump
contaminating the fluid, or the fluid contaminating the pump.
How they work
A compressible tube is squeezed between a roller and a track on an arc of a circle, creating
a seal at the point of contact. As the roller advances along the tube, the seal also
advances. After the roller has passed, the tube returns to its original shape, creating a
partial vacuum which is filled by fluid drawn from the inlet port.
Before the roller reaches the end of the track, a second roller compresses the tube at the
start of the track, isolating a packet of fluid between the compression points. As the first
roller leaves the track, the second continues to advance, expelling the packet of fluid
through the pump’s discharge port. At the same time, a new partial vacuum is created
behind the second roller into which more fluid is drawn from the inlet port.
Backflow and siphoning do not occur, and the pump effectively seals the tube when it is
inactive. No valves are needed.
The principle may be demonstrated by squeezing a soft tube between thumb and finger
and sliding it along: fluid is expelled from one end of the tube while more is drawn in at the
other.
Animal digestive tracts function in a similar way.
Suitable applications
Peristaltic pumping is ideal for most fluids, including viscous, shear-sensitive, corrosive
and abrasive fluids, and those containing suspended solids. They are especially useful for
pumping operations where hygiene is important.
Peristaltic pumps operate on the positive displacement principle. They are particularly
suitable for metering, dosing and dispensing applications. Pumps are easy to install, simple
to operate and inexpensive to maintain.
