Safety Precautions ISMATEC tubing pumps are designed for pumping and dispensing applications in laboratories and industry. As ® such it is assumed that Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and the following recommendations will be observed. Do not place your fingers on or around the pump head The pump must not be operated outside the designed operating and environmental conditions. In particular, it is the user's responsibility not to exceed the specified maximum differential pressure for the pump head. The pump must not be used: ‐ for any medical applications. ‐ in explosion proof chambers or in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. The pump must be switched off when pump heads, cassettes or tubing are inserted or changed. The permeability of tubing depends on the material used and pressure conditions. Tubing can also become electro‐statically charged. Please be aware of possible hazards when handling tubing in explosi‐ on‐proof chambers. Pump heads consist of revolving parts. Therefore, the pump must not be operated before the cassettes are fully seated on the pump head. Do not manipulate the pump head before the pump is switched off and disconnected from the main power supply. Use extreme caution to ensure that no part of your body such as fingers, long hair, etc. or jewelry, or loose objects such as cables or tubing, etc. are near the pump head during operation. Tubing can tear and burst during operation. The necessary safety measures based on the specific situation must be taken. When pumping corrosive media we recommend placing the pump in a collecting basin. The pump should not come in contact with liquid. Do not open or remove the housing while the pump is operating. Service and repairs carried out by the customer or by third‐party companies voids all warranties. Appliance coupler of the power supply is used to disconnect the device from mains supply. Warranty We warrant the pump to be free of defects, provided they have been installed and operated correctly according to our operating instructions for a period of 2 years from date of purchase. If production or material faults can be proven, the defective parts will be repaired or replaced free of charge at our discretion. A defective pump must be returned in the original ISMATEC® packaging or in packaging of equal quality. The duration of the warranty is not affected by making a claim for warranty service. Further claims are excluded. ...

6.4.4 CALIBRATION Menu In the CALIBRATION Menu each channel can be calibrated independently. The channel being calibrated is listed in the upper right hand corner. The Reglo ICC allows each channel to be set up and calibrated. This allows for maximum flexibility and optimum channel to channel precision. Prior to the calibration each channel must be configured for tubing ID, the number of backsteps that are desired for drip free dispensing, and calibration of that channel. The Reglo ICC allows you to enter the volume of fluid to dispense for calibration, dispense time for the specified volume, and pumping direction. Once you have entered those values, dispense desired volume into a container. Measure the actual amount of the fluid by weight or volume and enter that value on the last screen to adjust the pump for your application. The calibration can be interrupted by pressing Run/Stop button which will cancel the existing progress. New uninterrupted calibration run will be required in order to calibrate the channel properly. When adjusting the dispense time for calibration, if requested time is shorter than the pump’s physical capabilities the dispense time will automatically default to minimum achievable dispense time. You can complete the calibration by pressing Ok/Enter button following your measurement input. You will receive a message and checkmark once your calibration is successful. You can cancel the calibration after the calibration run by pressing the Reset button. You will receive the message displaying that the calibration has been canceled. 9 ...
