Initialising the Pump

8.1 Connect the pump to a PC using the Serial Communications Pack (refer to Chapter 6 "Updating
the software", Page 9, "Connecting the Pump to a Laptop / Desktop PC").
8.2 Run the Communicator software on the PC (refer to Chapter 6 "Updating the
software", Page 11, "Launching the Communicator Software").
8.3 Connect the pump to a suitable mains/power supply.
8.4 The pump will perform a power-up self-test sequence, as detailed in Table 31.
8.5 When the power-up self-test sequence is complete and before upgrading the pump software,
make sure that the PC can communicate correctly with the pump, as follows (refer to
Chapter 6 "Updating the software", Page 12, "Executing Commands on the Command Menu"):
8.5.1 The pump must be left in Standby.
8.5.2 Scroll through the menu of Flowtron Universal Commands on the Communicator
software on the PC, to the section heading VERSIONS.
8.5.3 Send the command 801 - Read_Software_Version to the pump.
8.5.4 Check that the command is successful. 801 = X.XX should appear in the Receive part
of the dialog box, where X.XX is the software version currently loaded on the pump.
8.5.5 If the command is unsuccessful, then carry out the procedure detailed in
Chapter 6 "Updating the software", Page 13, "Communication Error when Executing
Commands".
