Operation
GETTING STARTED
Plug one end of the power cable into P8 connection on board. Connect communication
cable from PC to J1 connector. Refer to page 6 of this manual to reference the board
connections.
WORKING WITH THE PUMP
The safest way to use the “µL” OEM Pump Module is in the volume dispense mode. The
pump will automatically stop when target volume is dispensed.
Enable must be tied to ground (Hardwire P7-3 to P7-4 or connect through switch).
CHECK SYRINGE OFTEN
The “µL” OEM Pump Module will shut itself off when the syringe is empty or is otherwise
overloaded. Although this presents no hazard to the user or the pump, it is prudent to check
the syringe from time to time.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the “µL” OEM Pump Module clean and dry. Avoid liquid spills that may find their way
into the electronics.
A small tube of grease is provided for periodic lubrication of the lead screw. It is important
to keep the lead screw clean and lubricated.
To clean the exterior surfaces above the base plate, use a lint-free cloth to remove loose dust.
For more efficient cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with water or an aqueous solution of
75% isopropyl alcohol.
If the pump does not work properly, contact KD Scientific for appropriate instructions.
PROTECTING SMALL, FRAGILE SYRINGES
The “µL” OEM Pump Module will hold micro liter size syringes down to 0.5µl size. These
small syringes have fine wire plungers that may be damaged if allowed to bottom out. The
limit switches for the “µL” OEM Pump Module can be adjusted by loosening the mounting
hardware which attaches the switch to the base plate bracket, moving the switch to the
desired location, and re-tightening the switch mounting hardware.
