Adaptive speed ramp-up Info The set speed requires more torque than available. Thus, the actual speed is
adaptively ramped up (duration: max. 5 min).
1
The backpressure is too high.
2
Under the application conditions, peak pressures occur during start-up.
3
A new (hard!) tube is being used.
4
The tubing had been fully squeezed for a long time and suffers deformation.
5
Tubing wall thickness is larger than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch).
6
A high viscosity medium is being pumped.
7
Mains voltage is less than nominal - 10%.
Let the pump continue to run! If it shuts down with a red LED: check operation conditions.
flashes
red-yellow
Temperature warning Info The internal temperature of the pump is becoming critical.
1
The fan is broken.
2
The environmental temperature is above 40°C (104°F).
1
Check if the fan expells air through the ventilation slots on the side. If it doesn‘t, contact your
ISMATEC service center.
2
Provide for enough ventilation around the pump.
flashes green Undervoltage Info Mains voltage is less than nominal - 10%. Check the mains supply.
flashes yellow Pumphead opened up while
running
Fault The pumphead was opened while the pump was running.
1
For safety reasons, the lid should be opened only when the pump is at rest.
2
The closed lid is not perfectly in position because the tubing is missing.
1
Close the lid and press the control knob once. The pump switches to ‚stand-by‘.
2
Insert a tube and close the lid. Press the control knob once to switch the pump to ‚stand-by‘.
flashes red Overtemperature shut-down Fault Due to overheating, the drive shut down automatically.
1
The fan is broken.
2
The ventilation slots are blocked.
3
The environmental temperature is above 40°C.
Press the control knob once. If the LED changes to yellow (‚stand-by‘), the pump has cooled down
already. If not, wait for a couple of minutes.
In any case, check if:
1
the fan expells air through the slots on the side. If it doesn‘t, contact you ISMATEC service
center.
2
the ventilation slots on the side and in the bottom are blocked. Clean them if necessary.
3
the environmental temperature is above 40°C.
red Overload shut-down Fault Maximum torque has been exceeded:
1
The drive is blocked.
2
An unsuitable tubing was inserted.
3
The tubing is not mounted correctly.
4
System pressure has changed and exceeds the specified maximum
differential pressure.
5
Viscosity has gone up.
6
Mains voltage is less than nominal - 10%.
1
Make sure that the pumphead is not blocked.
2
Only suitable peristaltic tubing must be used (diameter, material, wall thickness - see page 22).
3
Ascertain that the tubing has been properly inserted (see page 13).
4
Verify that no excess backpressure or vacuum has build up at the outlet or inlet (e.g. by
congestion, valves, filters, empty reservoirs without venting).
5
Inspect the medium for its temperature or other physical or chemical changes.
6
Check the mains supply.
Press the control knob once to reset the pump. Its LED changes to stand-by
flashes yellow
after power-on
Transmission of diagnostic
data
normal Right after power-up, the pump sends service information through the LED for
service purposes.
No fault
