Select Pump Speed; Adjust Occlusion Settings On Cassettes - MANOSTAT CARTER 74-083-00000 Manual De Operación

(2) Select Pump Speed

Select speed to provide desired nominal flow rate.

(3) Adjust Occlusion Settings on Cassettes

CAUTION: Excessive occlusion can cause high pump
temperatures and early tubing failure. Do not set
occlusion tighter than what is recommended in Table 3.
With a multi-channel Cassette system, flow rate, pressure sensitivity and
tubing life can be fine-tuned—even while the pump is running. No lost
time, and with operating speeds up to 200 rpm, you get higher
maximum flows with the same size tubing.
Figure 8 (large and small Cassette) shows the wedges adjusted at #3 on
the occlusion setpoint scale.
The Occlusion Adjustment Knob (see Figure 8) controls a screw
mechanism to move the occlusion wedges. Once a Cassette is adjusted
to a desired setting for a particular application, there is no need to reset.
Or, you can record settings and quickly reproduce them at a later time.
(a) Normal Occlusion Settings
The following table shows the appropriate occlusion settings to provide satisfactory performance for various
tubing sizes. (For optimum occlusion settings, see following section.)

(b) Occlusion Setting Procedure:
1. Select the recommended occlusion value from the table.
2. Turn the Occlusion Adjustment Knob to align the inside edge of the white Wedge with the scale number. (Clockwise
rotation increases the occlusion.)
