Also, a Pumping Program can be uploaded to an attached computer, which could then store it and produce
a printout of the Pumping Program.
8.3 Program Function Descriptions
8.3.1 ‘rAtE’: Rate Function
Defines a pumping function with a fixed pumping rate. This function defines a pumping
setup consisting of the pumping rate, optional “Volume to be Dispensed”, and pumping direction. Use the
‘Rate’, ‘Volume’, and ‘Pumping Direction’ keys to set or review the pumping setup. For continuous
pumping, set the “Volume to be Dispensed” to 0.0 (off). The “Volume to be Delivered” is disabled when
the display reads [ off].
8.3.2 ‘Incr’: Increment Rate Function
The increment and decrement functions operate the same as the ‘RATE’ function, except that
the specified rate is added (‘INCR’)or subtracted (‘DECR’) from the current pumping rate. The current
pumping rate when the function is executed is the base pumping rate for the function. If no base pumping
rate exists, such as when executing a pause function or when the Pumping Program is first started, a
Program error will occur and the Program will stop.
The pumping rate units will be the same as the base pumping rate, and therefore cannot be set, nor are
they displayed, with the pumping rate increment or decrement value. As with the ‘RATE’ function, a
“Volume to be Dispensed” and pumping direction can be specified for the increment and decrement
functions.
When used within a Program loop, the pumping rate can be incremented or decremented in small step
intervals.
8.3.3 ‘DEcr’: Decrement Rate Function
The decrement function subtracts the specified rate from the current pumping rate. For a full
description, see section 8.3.2, ‘Incr’: Increment Rate Function
8.3.4 ‘StoP’: Stop Pumping Operation and End The Program
Stops the pumping operation and stops the Pumping Program. The Pumping Program will
begin at Phase 1 when started again. An implicit ‘Stop’ function is executed when the Program exceeds
the maximum Phase number during operation.
If alarms are enabled, the buzzer will beep continuously when the Pumping Program stops.
8.3.5 ‘JP:nn’: Jump to Phase
nn
The ‘Jump’ function alters the consecutive operation of Program Phases. When executed, the
Pumping Program will continue operation with Phase ‘nn’.
8.3.6 'Pr:In': Program Selection Input
The Pumping Program can be broken into sections which can be selected by the user. When the Program
Selection Input function is executed, the Pumping Program pauses and displays:
nn
, where 'nn' is the Program Selection.
Using the right 2 arrow keys, under 'nn', the user enters the Label of the required Pumping Program. The
Pumping Program Label is defined by any number from 1 to 99. When the 'Start' key is pressed, the
