4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your peristaltic pump:
- Mounting the Pump: Select a suitable, stable vertical surface for mounting. Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the pump unit. Ensure there is adequate space around the pump for ventilation and access for maintenance.
- Tubing Connection (Suction): Connect one end of the dosing tubing to the suction inlet of the pump. Place the suction filter/weight at the other end of this tubing and immerse it into the chemical or liquid reservoir. Ensure the tubing is not kinked or obstructed.
- Tubing Connection (Discharge): Connect the remaining dosing tubing to the discharge outlet of the pump. Connect the other end of this tubing to the injection point in your system, using the provided injection fitting if necessary. Verify all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the pump's power cord to a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the pump's voltage requirements as specified on the product label. The pump operates on a corded electric component.

5. Operation
The Seko NPG001HA1000 is a fixed-rate peristaltic pump designed for continuous or intermittent dosing at a rate of 1.5 liters per hour.
- Power On: Once all connections are secure and the pump is mounted, plug the pump into the power outlet. The pump will typically begin operation immediately or upon activation of an external control signal, depending on the specific model variant.
- Priming: If the tubing is empty, it may take a few moments for the pump to draw liquid and begin dosing. Ensure the suction line is fully submerged in the liquid.
- Monitoring: Observe the pump's operation to ensure consistent flow and no leaks. The transparent casing allows for visual inspection of the peristaltic rollers and tubing.
- Power Off: To stop the pump, disconnect it from the power supply or use any integrated control switch if available.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pump.
- Tubing Inspection: Periodically inspect the peristaltic tubing for signs of wear, cracking, or discoloration. The tubing is a consumable part and should be replaced if any degradation is observed to maintain accurate dosing and prevent leaks.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump clean. If chemicals have spilled on the pump, wipe them off immediately with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Connections: Regularly check all tubing and electrical connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Suction Filter: Inspect and clean the suction filter/weight periodically to prevent blockages, especially when dosing liquids with particulates.
7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not operating | No power supply; loose electrical connection | Check power outlet and connections; ensure pump is plugged in. |
| No liquid flow | Kinked or blocked tubing; empty reservoir; worn tubing; air in line | Check tubing for obstructions; refill reservoir; replace worn tubing; prime the pump. |
