Installing Your Peristaltic Pump 1VS
Each peristaltic pump 1VS is identified by a serial number on a label at the
rear. Write down the serial number of your pump here:

Installing the pump comprises three stages:
• “Stage 1: Installing the Cables” on page 46,
• “Stage 2: Installing the Pump Tubing” on page 47, and
• “Stage 3: Installing the Tubing Cassette” on page 47.
Stage 1: Installing the Cables
The voltage selector and cable connectors are at the rear panel.
1 Set the correct voltage option (115 V or 230 V) for operation from your line
power supply.
2 Check the correct fuse is installed.
3 Push connector of power cord into line-power socket.
4 Push connector of the controller-pump cable (part number G1103-61612)
into the remote control connector on the rear of the pump. When this cable
is connected, the control switch on the front panel does not function. This
prevents you using the pump manually during automatic operation.
5 You connect the peristaltic pump to the valve-pump controller (use
connector marked pump 1) with the controller-pump cable (part number
G1103-61612).
6 Set the flow control to 60 for a flow rate of about 8.5 ml/min.
Make sure line-power cord is disconnected before changing line-voltage setting.
