Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Kamoer DIP peristaltic pump:
- Unpack the Pump: Carefully remove the pump and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Connect Tubing:
Ensure the pump tube is correctly installed. If not, or for replacement:
- Screw off the nut on the pump head.
- Connect the BPT tube (4.8 mm ID x 8 mm OD) to the pump tube fasteners.
- Secure the tube by screwing the nut back on.
Figure 2: Proper tubing connection to the pump head.
- Power Connection: Connect the 24V power adapter to the DC 24V input port on the back of the pump.
- External Control (Optional): If using external control (e.g., foot switch, 485 communication), connect the appropriate cables to the 485/analog signal/start stop port.

Operation
The Kamoer DIP pump offers various operational controls for precise liquid handling.
Basic Controls
- Start/Stop: Use the dedicated button or a connected foot switch to start and stop the pump.
- Speed Regulation: Adjust the flow rate using the speed control knob. The digital display shows the instant speed. The resolution is 0.1 rpm.
- Direction Change: Use the direction control to switch between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation for positive or reverse flow.

This video illustrates how to set the working mode for the Kamoer DIP pump, specifically demonstrating a cycle of working for 5 seconds and resting for 3 seconds.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your peristaltic pump.
- Tube Replacement: The BPT tube has a longer service life. If replacement is needed, refer to the "Accessories" section on the Kamoer store homepage for B25 pump tube replacements. Ensure the pump is powered off before replacing tubes.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior of the pump with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the tubing for wear, cracks, or blockages. Replace tubing as necessary to maintain flow accuracy and prevent leaks.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Kamoer DIP pump, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Pump Not Starting:
- Check power connection.
- Ensure the foot switch (if used) is properly connected and functioning.
- Verify that the pump is not in a paused or error state on the digital display.
- Inconsistent Flow Rate:
- Inspect tubing for kinks, blockages, or wear. Replace if damaged.
- Ensure the liquid being pumped is within the specified viscosity range for optimal performance.
- Recalibrate the pump if necessary.
- No Liquid Dispensed:
- Check the liquid reservoir to ensure it is not empty.
- Verify tubing connections are secure and there are no air leaks.
- Ensure the pump direction is set correctly for dispensing.
