3. Setup
♦ Place the pump on a stable surface.
♦ Plug the round connector end of the supplied power supply adapter into the power plug located on the
lower right of the pump's rear. See section 11, Logic Interface: TTL Input and Output, for a diagram of
the rear of the pump. Plug the other end of the power supply adapter into an appropriate electrical outlet.
The pump will be powered when the bottom of the power switch, located on the upper right of the rear of
the pump, labeled ‘1’, is pressed. The red indicator on the switch is visible when the power switch is in
the ‘on’ position. After power is applied to the pump, the pump’s display will flash.
♦ Next the Pumping Program can be entered. Before the Pumping Program can be operated, the pump
needs the measurement of the inside diameter, in millimeters, of the syringe that will be loaded. The
syringe diameter can be entered using the keypad on the front panel of the pump.
♦ Finally, the syringe can be loaded and the pump started.
4. Loading Syringes
The syringe is loaded by securing the barrel and the pusher flange as follows:
1: Loosen the 2 thumbscrews on the syringe retainer bracket.
2: Press in fully the white drive-nut button on the pusher block, releasing the block. Taking care not to
drag the drive-nut on the drive-screw, slide the block away from the syringe holder, providing sufficient
space for the loaded syringe. Then release the white button.
3: Lift the syringe clamp above the syringe holder block. Turn it 1/4 turn and then lower it onto the
syringe holder block. The syringe clamp should be out of the ‘V’ slot.
4: Load the syringe with the barrel over the syringe holder and the syringe plunger towards the middle of
the pump. Place the barrel on the syringe holder block, in the ‘V’ slot, with the barrel flange inserted
between the syringe holder block and syringe retainer bracket.
5: On the pusher block, turn the thumbscrew to make the slot large enough for the plunger flange. Press in
fully the white drive-nut button on the pusher block, releasing the pusher block. Then slide the block
towards the syringe plunger. Place the syringe plunger flange into the slot and against the anti-siphon
plate. When the flange is positioned in the slot, release the white drive-nut button.
6: Lift the syringe clamp to slightly above the height of the syringe barrel and turn the syringe clamp 1/4 turn
back to its original position and then lower it onto the syringe barrel.
7: Firmly push in the syringe retainer bracket against the syringe barrel flange and tighten the 2 thumbscrews
on the syringe retainer bracket. On the pusher block, turn the thumbscrew to move the plate against the
plunger flange.
⇒ To unload the syringe, reverse the instructions for syringe loading.
5. Guide Rod Collar Clamp (Model NE-1000 only)
WARNING: Do not use the collar clamp as a normal method of stopping the pump. This will cause damage
to the drive nut. Pump Stall is a fault condition and not a normal method of stopping the pump.
To protect a fragile syringe from damage caused by over infusion, use the collar clamp to limit the travel of the
pusher block. Using the hex wrench located in the tool holder on the rear of the syringe holder, loosen, but do
not remove, the hex screw on the guide rod collar clamp, enabling the collar clamp to slide on the guide rod.
Position the collar clamp as required, and then tighten the hex screw on the collar clamp with the hex wrench.
Replace the hex wrench in the tool holder. When the pusher block comes in contact with the collar clamp
while infusing, a stall alarm will occur. The pump motor will be stopped and the Pumping Program will be
paused. If alarms are enabled, the buzzer will sound.
