UMP INSTALLATION

Error!

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% Swiftech’s
HydrX

as an additive. The pump is designed to be

connected to your computer power supply using the
standard Molex 4 pin connectors.

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 completely 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 5 below “Preparing the
Tubing” prior to installing the tubing to your pump.
