Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Kamoer KEF Micro Peristaltic Pump:

  1. Connect Tubing: Attach the silicone tubing (3mm ID × 5mm OD) to the inlet and outlet ports of the pump head. Ensure a secure fit to prevent leaks.
  2. Power Connection: Connect the pump to a 12V DC power source. The red wire typically connects to the positive (+) terminal, and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. Reversing polarity will reverse the flow direction.
  3. Positioning: Place the pump in a stable position. The pump head can be rotated 360° to accommodate your setup.

Operating Instructions

Once the pump is set up, operate it as follows:

  1. Initiate Flow: Apply 12V DC power to the pump. Liquid will begin to flow through the tubing.
  2. Control Flow Direction: The direction of liquid flow is determined by the polarity of the power connection. Connecting the red wire to positive (+) and black to negative (-) will result in one flow direction. Reversing these connections (red to negative, black to positive) will reverse the flow direction.
  3. Monitor Operation: Observe the liquid flow to ensure it is consistent and in the desired direction.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Kamoer KEF pump.

  • Tube Replacement: The pump head features a snap-on design, making the pump tube easy to replace. Regularly inspect the silicone tubing for wear, cracks, or blockages. Replace the tubing as needed to maintain flow accuracy and prevent leaks.
  • Cleaning: If transferring non-corrosive liquids, flush the pump with clean water after use to prevent residue buildup. For specific liquid types, consult appropriate cleaning procedures.
  • Inspection: Periodically check all connections and the pump body for any signs of damage or wear.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Kamoer KEF pump, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • No Flow:
    • Ensure the pump is receiving 12V DC power and connections are secure.
    • Check for any kinks or blockages in the silicone tubing.
    • Verify the pump tube is correctly installed within the pump head.
  • Incorrect Flow Direction:
    • Reverse the polarity of the power connections (swap positive and negative wires).
  • Excessive Noise:
    • Some operational noise is normal for peristaltic pumps, especially at full speed.
    • Ensure the pump is securely mounted and not vibrating against other surfaces.
  • Leaks:
    • Check all tubing connections for tightness.
    • Inspect the silicone tubing for any damage or punctures and replace if necessary.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
