KD Scientific Legato 100 Series Syringe Pump User’s Manual
Publication 5617-006 Rev D
Product Overview
The KD Scientific Legato 100 Series is the next
generation of syringe pumps. The series offers
unparalleled ease of use through the high resolution
color touch screen user interface. The full touch screen
interface enables the user to quickly create configurations
and recall them for easy use. The TFT color display
presents all the pump operating parameters on an easy
to view run screen.
The password feature prevents accidental configuration
changes ensuring the programs integrity is retained.
Programs can also be set to be started on a time delay
for unattended operation.
An led light on the front panel makes it easy to see if the
pump is running. Once the pump starts to run, the display
shows the pump is running and the LED turns on. This will
make it easy to see the pump’s status.
The pumps are versatile and can be interconnected through
the RS485 interface. Legato 100 Series models can be
mixed and matched in the daisy chain offering maximum
flexibility. Up to 99 pumps can be linked together through
the RS485 interface. This interface is easy to use provided
each pump is assigned its own unique pump address.
For limited laboratory space the Legato 100 Series can
be placed on its side to reduce the footprint by 55%.
The display also tilts with the change to allow the user to
operate the pump vertically.
Notifications and error messages are displayed for the
user to acknowledge, eliminating any guesswork about
problems.
Flow performance is optimized with a small step angle
stepping motor that drives a precision lead screw and
pusher block. The syringe mechanism is easy to use and
securely holds the syringes for smooth flow performance.
Advanced microstepping techniques are employed to
further reduce the step angle to eliminate flow pulsation.
The accuracy is ±0.5% (Legato 100, 101, 110 and 111),
or ±0.35% (Legato 180) with 0.05% reproducibility. A
wide dynamic flow range can be programmed into the
pump. Flow rates are selectable with user selected
engineering units from ml, µl, nl pl, and hours, minutes
and seconds.
Up to 30 lbs of linear force is available. This force is user
adjustable to ensure the right force is applied for the
various syringe sizes.
The superior design of the full metal chassis provides
noise isolation and anti-vibration features for increased
reliability. The spill dam is designed to prevent fluids from
ingressing into the sealed display. All syringe racks are
hardened rolled steel and will not deform with pressure.
