3.3 Flow
correction
Since the difference between displayed and actual flow rate can be
maximum 3 % owing to unavoidable tolerances in the manufacture of
mechanical parts, there is a possibility to adjust the 709 IC Pump after
installation of a new pump head. For this, a correction factor of 0.9
…
1.1
can be entered in the 709 IC Pump.
The correction factor is determined by measurement of the actual flow
rate with the aid of a measuring cylinder:
Correction factor =
Displayed flow rate (in mL/min)
Measured flow rate (in mL/min)
In the entry of the correction factor, proceed as follows:
1 Select flow correction
Press
and the correction factor appears in display 1.
