    4.1.1 Tubing selection The pumphead of the DOSE IT is compatible with differently sized tubing allowing the user to dispense a wide range of dose volumes. The main criteria for the choice of tubing are the speed and precision requirements of a specific application. The larger the inner diameter (ID) of the tubing, the faster but less precise is the dispensing.
  • Page 11 Operation 4.1.2 Loading of the tubing in the pumphead ARNING Always switch off the DOSE IT when loading the tubing and when manipulating the open pumphead. 1 Open the pumphead 2 Adjust the tubing clamps The jagged, V-shaped tubing clamps on both sides of the pumphead need to be adjusted and guarantee that the tubing does not slip when the rotor turns.
  • Page 12 The aspiration/dispensing tubes delivered with the Silicone tubing DOSE IT facilitate the dosing process and are fitted on the end of the tubing. The aspiration tube is dented on one end in order to guarantee a free flowing of the liquid Aspiration/ entering the tubing.

  • Page 18: Calibrating The Pump

    DOSE IT – Operating instructions V08 Operation Calibrating the pump The calibration procedure tunes the pump to deliver a precise output. The output of the pump is determined by the tubing's inner diameter; therefore a calibration is necessary for tubing with different inner diameter. Also calibrate the pump after changing the fluid to be pumped.

    DOSE IT – Operating instructions V08 Operation Performing the dispensing process 1 In the A window select a program and press PPLICATION to access the program window. Press P to fill TART RIME the tubing with liquid until no more bubbles are in the tube and calibrate if necessary.
  • Page 20: Using The Double Pumphead Configuration (Optional)

    Operation Using the double pumphead configuration (optional) The DOSE IT can be used with a double pumphead and the corresponding 8 mm ID tubing set (171 088) when it is necessary to quickly dispense large volumes. The double pumphead configuration also reduces flow pulsation.
  • Page 21: Process Documentation (Optional)

    Operation Process documentation (optional) To document the dispensing and pumping performed with a DOSE IT, relevant data can be recorded either on paper or in an electronic text file. The following data – exemplified by a dispensing program – are recorded: •...

    INTEGRA dealer can assist you to connect this printer. To generate an electronic text file, connect a PC to the RS - 232 (2) port of the DOSE IT via a crossed female-female RS - 232 cable and record the process data using the HyperTerminal software installed on your PC.
  • Page 23: Chapter 5 Maintenance

    Always switch off the DOSE IT and disconnect it from the mains when carrying out maintenance work. If the DOSE IT gets soiled, it can be cleaned with a cloth moistened with soapy water or with a 70 % solution of Ethanol.
  • Page 24: Disposal

    Maintenance If the system is leaking, you have to check whether the tubing or the pumphead is worn: Repeat the leak test with a new tubing (only use original INTEGRA tubings, see “7.1 Consumables” on page 27). • If system is tight, the tubing was worn and the problem is solved.
