Appendix A: Installation of Peristaltic Pump
NOTE: Perma Pure peristaltic pumps are rated for a maximum pressure of 20 psi.
If supplied loading key is not available, use a flat head screwdriver.
Single pump head loading
a) Separate the end bells (the pump head halves). Hold the end bell containing the
rotor as shown with the tubing retainer grooves facing down.
b) Place tubing in the right groove and against the first two rollers. Hold tubing
with thumb. Near groove, insert smaller prong of loading key between the top of
the rotor and tubing. Push key in as far as possible.
c) Push down and turn key counterclockwise completely around the rotor. The key
will push the tubing uniformly into the end bell assembly. Hold the second end of
the tubing. Remove key.
d) Position the other end bell on top and press the end bells together. Be careful
not to pinch the tubing. If end bells do not snap tightly together, reload tubing.
If necessary, turn key in slot on rotor shaft to adjust tubing (as in step e).
e) With key in slot on rotor shaft, turn key to align tang on rotor shaft with slot in
motor drive shaft. Point tubing retainer grooves up. Shift the pump head slightly
till it snaps on the alignment pins (if present). Secure with four provided screws.
Tighten with fingers only.
Multi-channel mounting
a) Load the pump heads with tubing.
b) Install the four correct length mounting screws in drive.
c) Slide the first pump head into the mounting screws.
d) Place key in slot on mounting shaft. Twist to align tang on rotor shaft with slot in motor drive shaft. Shift the pump
housing around till it drops over the alignment pins (if present).
e) Repeat for each additional pump head, aligning pump head tang with slot on previously mounted pump head.
f) Slide the flow flat washers onto screws and secure with the four wingnuts. Tighten with fingers only.
