3. Safety Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Ensure the power supply matches the pump's specified voltage (DC 24V). Incorrect voltage can damage the pump and pose a safety risk.
- Do not operate the pump with damaged wiring or connectors.
- Always disconnect power before performing any installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
- Verify compatibility of the liquid being pumped with PTFE, FFPM, and PP materials to prevent chemical degradation and leakage.
- Install the pump in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials.
- Avoid running the pump dry for extended periods, as this can cause damage.
- Keep hands and loose clothing away from moving parts during operation.
4. Setup and Installation
Careful installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the pump.

- Unpacking: Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
- Mounting: Secure the pump to a stable, flat surface using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes (if applicable, not explicitly visible but standard for pumps). Ensure the pump is level to prevent strain on connections.
- Fluid Connections:
- Identify the inlet and outlet ports. Typically, the inlet is marked or can be identified by the direction of flow.
- Connect appropriate tubing to the inlet and outlet ports. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free. The pump head material is PP, and valve material is FFPM, ensure your tubing and fittings are compatible.
- Ensure the fluid path is clear and free of obstructions.
- Electrical Connection:
- Connect the pump to a stable DC 24V power supply. Observe correct polarity (red wire typically positive, black wire negative).
- Ensure the electrical connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Priming (if necessary): Depending on the application and fluid viscosity, the pump may require priming. Ensure the inlet line is submerged in the liquid before starting.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the DS600 pump is ready for operation.

- Initial Start-up:
- Double-check all fluid and electrical connections.
- Ensure the liquid source is available and the outlet path is clear.
- Apply DC 24V power to the pump. The pump should start operating immediately.
- Monitoring Operation:
- Observe the flow rate to ensure it meets your application requirements (rated at 680 ML/MIN).
- Listen for unusual noises or vibrations, which may indicate an issue.
- Check for any leaks at the connections.
- Shut-down:
- To stop the pump, disconnect the DC 24V power supply.
- If the pump will be idle for an extended period, consider flushing it with a compatible cleaning solution, especially if pumping corrosive or viscous liquids.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your DS600 pump.

- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals that may damage the housing.
- Fluid Path: If pumping liquids that can leave residue, flush the pump with clean water or a compatible solvent after use to prevent blockages.
- Connections: Regularly inspect tubing and electrical connections for wear, cracks, or corrosion. Replace any damaged components immediately.
- Diaphragm and Valves: While designed for durability, the PTFE diaphragm and FFPM valves are wear parts. If flow rate significantly decreases or leaks occur, these components may need inspection or replacement by a qualified technician.
- Motor Life: The motor has a rated life of ≥3000 hours. Keep track of operational hours for predictive maintenance.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your DS600 pump.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start | No power; incorrect voltage; loose electrical connection; motor failure. | Check power supply (DC 24V); verify connections; ensure correct polarity; contact support if motor is suspected. |
| No flow or reduced flow | Inlet/outlet blocked; air in the system (not primed); damaged diaphragm/valves; pump running dry. | Check for blockages in tubing; prime the pump; inspect diaphragm/valves; ensure liquid source is available. |
| Leakage from pump head or connections | Loose connections; damaged tubing; cracked pump head; worn diaphragm/valves. | Tighten connections; replace damaged tubing; inspect pump head for cracks; inspect and replace diaphragm/valves if necessary. |
| Unusual noise or vibration | Foreign object in pump; loose mounting; motor issue. | Disconnect power and inspect fluid path for obstructions; ensure pump is securely mounted; contact support if motor noise persists. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
