4. Setup
Installation
The LP8000 pump is designed for easy integration. Refer to the installation diagram for mounting dimensions and procedures.
Figure 4: Detailed installation diagram showing dimensions and mounting points for the LP8000 pump (Type A installation).
- Identify a suitable mounting location that is stable, dry, and provides adequate ventilation.
- Use the provided dimensions to mark drilling points for mounting screws. The pump is equipped with M5x20 upper screws.
- Securely attach the pump to the mounting surface.
- Connect the inlet and outlet tubing to your fluid source and destination. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
- Connect the pump to the appropriate 12V or 24V DC power supply. Verify the voltage matches your pump model.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and connected, the LP8000 pump is ready for operation.
- Ensure the fluid path is clear and the tubing is correctly seated in the pump head.
- Apply power to the pump. The transparent shell allows for visual confirmation of the rollers' operation.
- Monitor the fluid flow. The pump is designed for stable and smooth operation.
- To stop operation, disconnect the power supply.
Flow Rate Information
The flow rate depends on the tube species and voltage. Refer to the table below for typical flow rates:
Figure 5: Table detailing flow rates (ml/min) for different tube species (S73T, S82T, N73T) at 12V and 24V.
| Parameter | S73T (Silicone) | S82T (Silicone) | N73T (Norprene) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tube ID×OD | 9.6×16 mm | 12.7×19.1 mm | 9.6×16 mm |
| Flow rate (12V, 2.5A) | 5800 ml/min | 8000 ml/min | 5000 ml/min |
| Flow rate (24V, 1.5A) | 5800 ml/min | 8000 ml/min | 5000 ml/min |
Note: Ideal working conditions are ambient temperature 0-50 degrees Celsius, relative humidity less than 80%.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your LP8000 pump.
Tubing Replacement
The pump tube is a consumable part and should be replaced periodically depending on usage and fluid type. The card slot design facilitates easy replacement.
- Disconnect the pump from the power supply.
- Open the pump head cover (if applicable) or access the tubing area.
- Carefully remove the old tubing from the card slots and roller mechanism.
- Insert the new tubing, ensuring it is properly seated in the card slots and around the rollers. The tight fit and small roller gap are designed to prevent tube running and ensure high precision.
- Close the pump head cover (if applicable) and reconnect power.
Cleaning
The waterproof pump head allows for easy cleaning.
- Disconnect power before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the plastic components.
- For internal cleaning, flush the tubing with an appropriate cleaning solution compatible with the tubing material and the fluids previously dispensed.
- Ensure the pump and tubing are dry before resuming operation.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LP8000 pump, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start | No power supply; Incorrect voltage; Motor fault. | Check power connection; Verify voltage matches pump specification; Contact support if motor is faulty. |
