Introduction NLS110P - How it Works High Performance, Low Flow Pressure Control Flow System, Harvard Apparatus NLS110P NLS110P - How It Works: 1. Pump generates a pressurizing flow of air 2. Pulse of air is compressible and dampened 3. Liquid reservoir is pressurized 4. -
Page 9: Operation: Getting Started
Operation: Getting Started Power ttachment Using the provided line cord and power supply, attach the instrument to 110 VAC or 220 VAC. Tubing Connections Install tubing as shown in Figure 1. Leave one side open and attach the output port to the provided liquid reservoir or to the input of the system to be controlled. What’s Included The pump comes standard with 10 feet of 1/16"... -
Page 10: Do's And Don'ts
Do’s and Dont’s Begin with a slightly positive pressure target when connecting to an external fluid reservoir without a filter, to ensure that liquid is not sucked into the sensor. Press the “STOP” button in the application before closing the applica- tion, turning off power to the pump, or unplugging the USB cable. -
Page 11: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting PROBLEM: The pump will not stop spinning when set to a non-zero target pressure. - There is a leak in the air pressure chamber. - Tighten your connectors, and/or tighten the clamp arm of the peristaltic pump. PROBLEM: The MEASURED output is abnormal, even when all tubes are disconnected. -
