    Features Pressure and Speed Pump 33 can deliver up to 53.346 ml/min with a 50 ml syringe, and is capable of pres- sures of up to 99.5 PSI with a 20 ml syringe. Independent Syringe Diameters and Rates In the Proportional Mode, separate syringe types and rates may be set.
  • Page 6: Initial Setup

    Initial Setup Read the manual. Locate the voltage selector switch on the rear panel of the pump and set it to the voltage being used. If other than 115VAC, 60 Hz is being used, the plug must be cut off and an appropriate plug installed, observing the polarity of the interna- tional line cord used: Brown –...

The syringe holder and pusher block are fitted with movable retaining brackets which hold the syringe barrel and plunger when refilling.When loading the syringe into the pump, it is necessary to adjust these brackets.The pusher block is fitted with a mechanism to release the drive nut from the leadscrew.This allows the block to move freely so the syringe to be loaded.

Keypad Interface The keypad consists of 21 keys used for entering control information and data into the pump.
  • Page 10: Entering Data

    The keys in this group, when pressed successively, select different states. Each state change is accompanied by a corresponding change in status LED display. To operate, Pump 33 needs to know the diameter(s) of the syringes, the rate(s) of pumping, pumping directions, and the mode of operation. Except for Proportional mode, syringe 2 is assumed to be the same diameter as syringe 1 and will pump at same rate as syringe 1.
  • Page 11: Operation

    Operation Diameters The pump must be stopped when entering a diameter. Diameter 1 is the diameter of both syringes, except in Proportional mode. In Proportional mode, enter the diameter of each syringe separately; Diameter 1 for syringe 1 and Diameter 2 for syringe 2.When entering a diameter, the 2 direction LEDs corresponding to the syringe and the “mm”...

    PORT #2 PORT #1 Figure 9. External Interface External devices that can be attached to the Pump 33 include external valves, pump chain, and TTL devices. See the appropriate appendixes for specification details on attaching devices. Attaching a Pump Chain On the back of the pump are two telephone jack type connectors.

    External Control and Interfaces Attaching a Valve Control Accessory Box Attach the valve control cable to the pump’s accessory valve connection (see Figure 9). Refer to the Valve Control Box section. TTL Devices The pump does not need to be configured to attach a TTL device. To attach a TTL device, simply plug the appropriate TTL connector into the 9 pin connector on the rear of the pump.

    In addition, this interface allows up to 100 Pump 33’s or, in certain cases, other RS-232 devices to be controlled from a single RS-232 communication port on a computer. Assign each pump in the pump chain a unique address from 0 to 99.

  • Page 27: Maintenance

    Appendix G: Maintenance Pump 33 requires no special maintenance other than keeping it clean by avoiding acci- dental spills of pumped material. The two guide rods and the lead screw should be sparingly lubricated periodically with the Magnalube-G R grease provided with the pump. This Teflon R based grease is available either from Harvard Apparatus or Carleton-Stuart Corp.
  • Page 28: Troubleshooting

    Appendix H: Troubleshooting RS-232 Difficulties Verify that the baud rates and data framing parameters on all devices are the same. With a pump chain, a “Communication timeout” error on a computer is usually caused by the computer errantly handshaking on the RTS, CS and/or DSR lines. Verify pins 4, 5 and 6, on the 25 pin connector, are jumpered on the computer side of the cable.
