    Refer to Figure 3-4. With the pump and motor aligned, insert the mounting screws through the mounting holes in the pump, until they make contact with the threaded mounting holes in the face of the motor. Tighten the screws fully with a 9/64 (M3.5) allen wrench. 3.1.3 Stacking Two Pumps on One Side of the Motor FACE OF MOTOR...
  • Page 23: Selecting Tubing

    Getting Started 3.2 Selecting Tubing Select a tubing material and size that is right for your application (the fluid and flow rate that you are pumping). Table 9-2 in Chapter 9, shows the average flow rates for different size tubing. Normalized flow rates (mL per revolution) vary significantly, based on motor speed, tubing materials, viscosity, and mechanical tolerances in pump dimensions.
  • Page 24 Figure 3-11. Closing the Stator Refer to Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9. Snap open the Stator by pushing the spring-loaded area of the Latch. Remove any old tubing from the pump, if necessary. Refer to Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-10. Loop the Tubing over the rollers. This is easy to do even for stacked pumps.

  • Page 27: The Running Display Mode

    Turning on the Power Turn on the unit’s power. You are now in the STOPPED Display Mode (refer to Figure 4-1). The motor and the pump(s) are stopped. The display flashes, indicating that the pump motor is waiting for you to do something. The non- flashing, green LEDs indicate the tubing inlets (refer to Section 5.2), but fluid is not flowing.

  • Page 30: Defining The Direction Of Pumping

    5.2 Defining the Direction of Pumping The INLET SELECT key, left and right pump icons, and green LEDs define the direction of pumping by specifying the tubing inlets and outlets. Refer to Figure 5-1. To determine the direction of pumping, look at the left and right pump icons and green LEDs.
  • Page 31: Selecting The Tubing Inner Diameter

    Operating the Pump Motor in the STOPPED Display Mode To change the direction of pumping, press the INLET SELECT key. The lit, green LEDs change positions. Fluid flows in the opposite direction. To change back to the original direction of pumping, simply press the INLET SELECT key again.
  • Page 32 Press the TUBE ID key. The display shows the last TUBE ID setting used, in inches or millimeters. Table 5-2 lists all the pre-programmed tubing inner diameters. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to enter a TUBE ID on the display. Once you start the pump motor, after selecting a mode (refer to Chapter 6), the pump will dispense fluid at a flow rate calculated based on the last TUBE ID displayed before the pump starts to run.
  • Page 33: Priming The Tubing

    Operating the Pump Motor in the STOPPED Display Mode 5.4 Priming the Tubing Pressing the PRIME key causes the tubing to fill with fluid. To prime the tubing, press and hold down the PRIME key. As long as you hold down the PRIME key, fluid flows in the tubing, and the display shows “Priming...”.
  • Page 34 Operating the Pump Motor in the STOPPED Display Mode Since tubes of different materials, sizes, ages, and durometers produce different flow rates, the CALIBRATE key allows you to calibrate each piece of tubing you use. Calibration accuracy data is shown in Table 9-1 in Chapter 9. Once the tubing is calibrated, you no longer need to be concerned about flow rate variances outlines in Table 9-3.
  • Page 35 Operating the Pump Motor in the STOPPED Display Mode 10. After you have finished dispensing, press the START/STOP key to stop the pump motor. Then measure the dispensed fluid’s volume using your calibrated beaker. 11. When you have determined the volume of the dispensed fluid, use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to enter this volume on the display.
  • Page 36: Measuring The Temperature Of A Fluid

    5.6 Measuring the Temperature of a Fluid The TEMP key displays the temperature of the fluid, as measured via an optional Type K thermocouple probe. The pump motor is equipped with an SMP Type K female thermocouple jack, located near the bottom on the back of the pump motor.
