  • Page 26: Using Auto Increment Mode

    Mode USING AUTO INCREMENT MODE The Ultimus V dispenser features an Auto Increment mode that can be set up to automatically adjust dispense time, pressure and vacuum settings when dispensing fluids that change viscosity over time. There are 400 unique memory locations in which different combinations of dispense time, pressure and vacuum settings can be stored.
  • Page 27 The total dispense cycle count for the unit is saved and will continue to increment while in Auto sequence mode. Once the trigger value is reached for the End address, the Ultimus V will automatically reset the memory cell address back to the Start address and continue increasing the memory cell address as before. The auto increment alarm will not be set in this mode.
