KD Scientific Allegro Peristaltic Pump System User’s Manual
Publication 5613-004-REV-A
Product Over view
Easy external connections to a computer or other control
devices are made through USB interface. Simple ASCII
commands make communication with the pump easy. For
direct control of the pump, the user can use the I/O
interface (15pin Dsub). A trigger output and a trigger
input in for external events such as a process parameter is
met. The footswitch input will allow the control of the
pump through an external device. The unit also has an
output for run indication allowing connection to a remote
light.
The forward/reverse dispensing programmable model
Allegro offers maximum flexibility and capability for
configuring and running different programs. Multiple
programs of 50 steps each can be configured and stored
in the unit, and recalled quickly with the touch of a
button. The programs are identified with a 15 character
alphanumeric name for easy identification and can be
stored on the computer and downloaded at future dates.
A relative clock is available to start and stop programs
based on time. Extensive programming options allow the
user to duplicate configurations, append one
configuration to another, rename programs, delete
programs, export programs to a PC or export a program
to another pump. This feature can ensure consistency and
accuracy of multiple pumps.
Preprogrammed profiles include Constant Rate and
Ramp. These standard profiles make configuration easy
to set up. If more complexity is needed the user can select
from advanced programming options including:
• Time delays
• Repeating steps
• Stopping the pump
• Triggering the pumps TTL output
• Accepting an event input in such as a user
touch
• Events can trigger the pump to dispense in
forward or reverse
The pump Information/setup screen shows the pump’s
software version. The pump’s alarm configurability
includes alarms for near end of run (user selectable),
completion of run, power up, keypad clicks and stall
detection.
