In constant pressure mode, this feature allows you to set a fill
point as a percentage of pump volume. If this volume percentage
is not reached after a refill and re-pressurization, the system
issues an alarm and stops the pump.
This selection displays an additional menu containing testing
options for the system. Refer to Section 9.5 for a complete expla-
nation of how to use the diagnostic menu.
This is a stored psi value to ensure optimal operation of the
pressure transducer. On most pumps, this value, known as the
"midpoint adjustment," can be found on a tag on the transducer
cable (shown below).
Note
The midpoint adjustment value is individual to each pump, and
is stored within the controller software. Therefore, this value
must be re-entered if the controller or pump is switched, con-
troller is reset, or if a pump is plugged into a different port on
the controller.This calibration feature is not applicable to the
HPx or 30D pump models.
Standard calibration for the transducer is a two-point
adjustment, at zero and maximum pressure. The midpoint
adjustment number is the difference between the pressure at
half maximum, as read by a pressure gauge with a precision of
0.25% accuracy, and the syringe pump transducer output.
