SYRINGE DIAMETER ENTRY

Syringe diameter must be entered for automatic internal calibration. Once entered the

diameter is entered, it is retained in non-volatile memory and need not be entered again

unless the syringe being used is changed. When a syringe diameter is changed the Volume

and Rate settings are set to zero.

There are two methods of diameter entry.

Internal Library

Select TABLE from the main line menu. The table of syringes is organized by

manufacturer, then by glass or plastic, and then by size. Use the arrow keys to

scroll through the table and the select key to enter the correct setting.

First, scroll through the manufacturers and select the manufacturer of the

syringe used. The menu will next display either syringe type or syringe size.

Again, use the arrow keys to move through the table until the correct size is

displayed. Press the select key when the correct syringe size is displayed.

This automatically enters the internal syringe diameter.

See Table of Syringe Diameters on page 12 for the syringe library.

Direct Entry

From the main menu select DIA. The display will read "xx.xx mm". Use the arrow

keys to display the measured internal diameter of the syringe in millimeters and

enter with the select key.

Changing the diameter clears the Volume and Rate settings, and the display will

now prompt for the new Volume setting.

VOLUME ENTRY

The volume setting mode is selected from the main menu or is displayed automatically after

changing the diameter.

Display reads: xx.xx µl (Units displayed in µl or ml depend on syringe diameter entered)

Use the arrow keys to enter the dispense volume required.

When the correct dispense volume is displayed save this number with the

select key.

Note: If no target dispense volume is required, enter volume = 0.0

The pump will run at the set flowrate until stopped manually or a stall occurs.

After setting a volume the menu prompts for the flowrate setting.

When the pump runs, the actual dispensed volume will be displayed and will

increment until the set volume is reached, at which time the pump will stop

automatically.
