Page 3: Introduction
2 Proper use Intended purpose The mp6-QuadEVA was designed to control up to four micropumps for gas pumping, i.e. four pieces of mp6-AIR micropumps. Nevertheless it is also possible to pump liquids, either with the mp6-AIR, mp6-pp or the standard mp6 pump;... -
Page 4: Safety Notice
Safety notice The mp6-QuadEVA generates voltages of up to 260 Vpp. All parts of the evaluation board can carry voltages in this range. Therefore, the board should only be used by qualified personnel. Although the output power of the module is very low, proper insulation according to the application conditions needs to be considered by the customer. -

Connect the control unit with the USB port. A message appears that new hardware was found. Step 3: Open the device manager and double click the item "mp6-QuadEVA driver" filed under "additional hardware" (or similar). In the pop up window click on "update driver" and select the directory including the driver files (e.g. -
Page 11: Software
Ensure that the board is connected to the PC and the driver is installed. After the software has started the COM-port for the mp6-QuadEVA board has to be selected. If it is not present in the dropdown list please verify that the board is correctly connected and press on “Update” to refresh the list. -
Page 12: Maintenance
5 Maintenance Cooling The board may create some heat at the control chip when under continuous operation and at max performance. It was successfully tested for the duration of one hour at 800 Hz, 250 V and four connected pumps; no active cooling was applied. However, it is recommended to take care of sufficient air flow to remove excess heat or consider installing some active cooling on the board. -
