 General Use
The MCP655-B pump is a magnetically driven centrifugal pump featuring a
12 V DC motor. It requires no maintenance when used with de-mineralized
water and the appropriate anti-fungal additives. We recommend using 5%

as an additive. The pump is designed to be connected
to your computer power supply using the standard Molex 4 pin connectors.
A second 3-pin connector (single blue wire) is an RPM sensor designed to
be connected to the motherboard in lieu of the CPU fan connector and the
motherboard to read the pump speed.
The MCP655-B pump is neither submersible, nor self- priming. The inlet
needs to be continuously supplied with fluid for the pump to operate
properly.
 Physical installation
 Determine the best location for your pump by observing how the
tubing will be routed to the rest of the circuit. Sharp bends in the tubing
should always be avoided to prevent kinks, which will reduce or
cmpletely prevent flow of the cooling fluid.
 In general, we recommend installation of the pump at the bottom of
the chassis.
 The base of the pump features a soft neoprene pad coated with
strong adhesive material. Once the final location for the pump has
been determined, simply peel-
off the pad‟s protective paper, and press
the pump against the chassis surface. The surface should be clean,
and non greasy. Thru-bolts are also provided for permanent
installation, and require drilling holes in the chassis.
 Pump operating precautions:
The MCP655-B pump should never be run dry, even for a quick test .
You should always prime the pump with fluid before you start operating it
(see warranty note *).
Use of coloring die or fluorescent additives containing particulate fillers
will cause excessive wear to the pump‟s impeller bearing (see warranty
note **).
Note 1: Always make sure to directly connect the RESERVOIR
DISCHARGE to the PUMP INLET.
Note 2: Please read important preamble in paragraph 6 below
“Preparing the Tubing” prior to installing the tubing to your pump.
