3. Components Overview
The Kamoer KCM-B163-ODM pump system includes the peristaltic pump head, a stepper motor, a driver board, and a control board with user interface elements.
3.1. Driver Board (KMD-42B-P)
The KMD-42B-P driver board manages the stepper motor's operation, ensuring precise control over the pump's speed and direction.
3.2. Control Board (2802)
The 2802 control board provides the interface for user interaction, including speed adjustment, start/stop, and flow direction control, with an LED digital display for feedback.
4. Setup and Installation
4.1. Tubing Connection
Connect the appropriate silicone or BPT tubing to the pump head's threaded joints. Ensure a secure fit to prevent leaks.
4.2. Electrical Connections
Connect the 2802 Control board to the KMD-42B-P Driver board as per the wiring diagram below. Pay close attention to the voltage limiting resistor (R) required based on your controller's interface voltage.
Connect the stepper motor to the driver board using the provided wiring. Ensure correct polarity for A+, B+, B-, and A- lines.
4.3. Mounting (ODMA Type)
The KCM-B163-ODM pump features an ODMA installation method, which includes a rubber shock absorber behind the pump for stable mounting. Refer to the diagrams for dimensions and wall plate hole size for proper integration into your system.
5. Operating Instructions
After connecting the pump to a suitable power adapter, you can control its functions using the integrated buttons and display.
- Start/Stop: Press the Green button to start or stop the pump.
- Flow Direction: Press the Red button to change the flow direction.
- Flow Rate Adjustment: Use the Black speed control button/knob to adjust the pump's rotating speed. The LED digital display will show the current rotating speed (RPM).
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your peristaltic pump.
- Tubing Inspection: Periodically inspect the pump tubing for any signs of wear, cracks, or degradation. Worn tubing can affect flow accuracy and lead to leaks.
- Tubing Replacement: The pump head is designed for quick and easy replacement of the pump tube. Replace tubing as needed to maintain performance and prevent contamination.
- Cleaning: Keep the pump head and external components clean. Use a damp cloth to wipe surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic or electronic components.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the pump in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Kamoer KCM-B163-ODM pump, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Pump Not Starting:
- Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and supplying the correct voltage (24V).
- Verify that the green Start/Stop button is pressed. - Incorrect Flow Rate:
- Check the setting on the black speed control button/knob and the LED display. Adjust as necessary.
- Inspect the tubing for any kinks, blockages, or damage that might restrict flow.
- Ensure the liquid source is sufficient and the tubing is properly submerged. - No Flow:
- Confirm that the tubing is correctly installed and securely connected to the pump head.
- Check for air bubbles trapped in the tubing, which can prevent priming.
- Ensure the liquid reservoir is not empty. - Unusual Noise:
- Turn off the pump and inspect the pump head for any foreign objects.
- Check the motor mounting for any loose screws or components.
8. User Tips
- The Kamoer KCM-B163-ODM pump is noted for its super quiet operation.
- Its flow rate is highly adjustable, typically ranging from 0.1 to 400ml/min depending on the specific tubing and model configuration.
- Always consider the chemical compatibility of your liquid with the tubing material. For viscous or corrosive liquids, BPT tubing is highly recommended to ensure optimal performance and pump longevity.
- For precise dosing, ensure the tubing is free from air bubbles and the liquid level in the source container is consistent.
