SYRINGE DIAMETER ENTRY
For automatic internal calibration the syringe diameter must be entered. Once entered the
diameter is retained in non-volatile memory and need not be entered again unless the
syringe 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.
a. Lookup Table
Select TABLE from the main line menu. The table of syringes is organized by
manufacturer, 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, select Hamilton from the manufacturers and 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 1 for the syringe library.
b. 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 are always displayed in microliters)
1) Use the arrow keys to enter the dispense volume required.
2) When the correct dispense volume is displayed enter 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 flow rate until stopped manually or a stall occurs.
3) After setting a Volume the menu prompts for the flow rate 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.
