Introduzzjoni
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your Gikfun Mini DC R385 Water Pump. Please read these instructions carefully before operating the pump and retain this manual for future reference.
Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
- Do not run continuously: This diaphragm pump is designed for experimental and intermittent use, not for continuous industrial operation. Prolonged continuous use may lead to overheating and damage.
- VoltagFirxa e: Operate the pump within the specified DC 6-12V voltage range. Exceeding this range can cause damage to the motor.
- Kompatibilità Likwida: Ensure the liquid being pumped is compatible with the pump's materials (silicone). Avoid corrosive or highly viscous liquids unless specifically designed for them.
- Konnessjonijiet elettriċi: Ensure all electrical connections are secure and correctly polarized (red wire for positive, white/gray for negative). Incorrect wiring can damage the pump or power source.
- Immuntar: Use the provided mounting brackets to secure the pump, reducing vibration and noise.
- Superviżjoni: Always supervise the pump during operation, especially during initial setup or when used in experimental models.

Setup
- Ippakkja: Carefully remove the pump and any accessories from the packaging.
- Waħħal it-tubi: Connect appropriate tubing (with an inner diameter of 5mm) to the inlet and outlet nozzles of the pump. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
- Pożizzjoni Pompa: Place the pump in a stable location. The black silicone case provides shock absorption, but securing it with the mounting brackets is recommended for long-term use.
- Qabbad l-Enerġija: Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal of your DC power supply (6-12V) and the white/gray wire to the negative (-) terminal. Ensure the power supply is off before connecting.
- Submerge Inlet: Place the inlet tube into the liquid source.
- Prepare Outlet: Direct the outlet tube to the desired destination for the liquid.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
- Qawwa Mixgħul: Once all connections are secure and tubing is in place, turn on the DC power supply. The pump should begin to operate.
- Priming: This pump is generally self-priming. If it does not start pumping immediately, ensure the inlet tube is fully submerged and there are no significant air pockets in the tubing. A slight tilt or gentle shaking of the pump may help dislodge air.
- Tissorvelja l-Fluss: Observe the liquid flow. The pump is designed for a maximum flow of 1.5-1.8 L/Min.
- Itfi: When liquid transfer is complete or if you need to stop the pump, turn off the DC power supply.

Manutenzjoni
- Tindif: After use, especially with non-water liquids, flush the pump with clean water to prevent residue buildup.
- Spezzjoni: Periodically inspect the tubing for kinks, cracks, or blockages. Check electrical connections for corrosion or looseness.
- Ħażna: Store the pump in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Evita Operazzjoni Kontinwa: As noted in safety, avoid running the pump continuously for extended periods to prolong its lifespan.
Issolvi l-problemi
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Il-pompa ma tibdax | No power, incorrect wiring, faulty power supply. | Check power connections, ensure correct polarity, test power supply. |
| No liquid flow or weak flow | Air in system, clogged tubing, inlet not submerged, incorrect voltage. | Ensure inlet is submerged, check for and remove air bubbles, clear any blockages in tubing, verify voltage huwa fi ħdan 6-12V. |
| Ħsejjes jew vibrazzjonijiet eċċessivi | Loose mounting, air in pump, pump running dry. | Securely mount the pump, ensure liquid is flowing, avoid dry running. |
| Tnixxija mill-konnessjonijiet | Loose tubing, incorrect tubing size, damaged nozzle. | Ensure tubing is securely attached, use tubing with 5mm inner diameter, inspect nozzles for damage. |
