1. Product Overview
The Hanchen BT100-2J YZ1515x Peristaltic Pump Head is designed for precise and controlled fluid transfer in laboratory and industrial settings. This pump system ensures fluid isolation from external contamination sources, maintaining product quality and consistency. Its design prioritizes ease of maintenance and high operational precision.
Key Features:
- No Pollution: The peristaltic pump completely contains the fluid within the high-performance hose, preventing cross-contamination and isolating the fluid from external sources.
- Easy Maintenance: The hose is the only component requiring replacement. The design eliminates valves and seals, reducing leakage concerns and simplifying cleaning.
- Self-Absorption Capacity: Capable of suction up to 8 meters, creating up to 95% vacuum to prevent backflow. Supports two-way equal flow capacity.
- Repeatability and High Precision: Flow rate is proportional to pump speed. Advanced microprocessor angle control technology ensures repetition accuracy of up to 0.3%, contributing to stable production processes.
- Low Shear Force: Provides a flexible delivery mode with minimal shearing effect on fluids, preserving the integrity of sensitive materials.
- Versatile Fluid Transport: Suitable for transporting solid, liquid, gas, or mixed-phase fluids, including abrasive, corrosive, and sensitive materials.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power On/Off
- To power on, flip the main power switch on the rear panel to the ON position. The LED display will illuminate.
- To power off, flip the main power switch to the OFF position.
- The pump features power memory, resuming its previous state after a power cycle.
3.2 Speed Adjustment
- Use the thin film keypad on the control panel to adjust the pump speed.
- The speed range is 0.1 rpm to 100 rpm, with a resolution of 0.1 rpm.
- The 3-bit LED display shows the current speed.
3.3 Direction Control
- The control panel allows for changing the direction of fluid flow. Refer to the specific buttons for clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) operation.
3.4 External Control and Communication
- The pump supports external control functions for start/stop, direction, and speed control via 4-20mA, 0-5V, 0-10V, or 0-10kHz signals (optional).
- A RS485 communication interface is available for integration with other systems.
3.5 Full Speed Function
- A dedicated 'Full Speed' function is available for quick operations such as filling or emptying.
4. Maintenance and Cleaning
The Hanchen peristaltic pump is designed for minimal maintenance. The primary maintenance task involves replacing the tubing.
4.1 Tubing Replacement
- Power off the pump and disconnect it from the power source.
- Open the pump head cover.
- Carefully remove the old tubing.
- Clean the pump head rollers and housing if necessary with a damp cloth.
- Install new, appropriate-sized tubing as described in Section 2.4.
- Close and secure the pump head cover.
4.2 General Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the pump with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the housing.
- Ensure no liquids enter the internal components of the pump.
5. Troubleshooting
This section provides basic troubleshooting steps for common issues. For more complex problems, please contact customer support.
