  • Page 12 Adjusting the Safety Nut The Fusion series of pumps can generate a significant amount of linear force. While this is extremely useful for dispensing viscous fluids at higher flow rates, the higher linear force of the Fusion series can also potentially damage the syringes in use.
  • Page 13 Pump Operation Operating Interface Limits for selected fields Selected Fields Unselected Field The LCD screen displays a graphical user interface (GUI) from which all the pump settings and run parameters are entered. Whenever an item is currently selected, the color scheme of the element typically turns to a darker shade of the color. For example, the light blue buttons turn dark blue when selected, and the white background surrounding an unselected editable text field turns blue when the field is selected and available for editing.
  • Page 14 Mode Selection Screen The Mode Selection screen is the top level menu for the Fusion series pumps. This screen allows users to select the Basic or Multi-Step modes, load a previously saved method, and adjust system settings or power settings. The Mode Selection screen consists of two screens.
  • Page 15 Syringe Selection For every application, the first required step for setup is to select the inner diameter (ID) of the syringe(s) being used. This value is important for the syringe pump to accurately calculate the transfer rate and the total transferred volume for the liquid in the syringe.
  • Page 16 Volume The Volume field represents the total volume of liquid that the pump will transfer (infusion or withdrawal) before stopping. The amount of time that the pump will run with the set target volume can be determined by dividing the volume by the flow rate. The value entered can be any integer or decimal within the limits for the syringe.
  • Page 17 Additionally, high flow rates can exert tremendous pressure within a syringe that may cause glass or plastic syringes to burst. In the case of high-pressure experiments, users should consider using Chemyx Stainless-Steel Syringes and the high-pressure Chemyx Nexus 6000 pump.
  • Page 18 Options The Fusion 200-X is capable of both infusion and withdrawal. On Fusion 200-X systems, an Infusion/Withdrawal toggle button should appear to the right of the Volume field. The text and arrow direction on the button indicates the mode that is currently set and direction that the pusher block will move upon starting the run.
  • Page 19 Additionally, high flow rates can exert tremendous pressure within a syringe that may cause glass or plastic syringes to burst. In the case of high-pressure experiments, users should consider using Chemyx Stainless-Steel Syringes and the high-pressure Chemyx Nexus 6000 pump.
  • Page 20 Multi-Step Mode Multi-Step Mode is used for more advanced applications that may require numerous steps, multiple different volume and rate settings, step looping, or ramping rates. The Multi-Step Mode screen can be reached by tapping on the Multi-Step icon on the Mode Selection screen. The pump can only be started in Multi-Step Mode when the Multi-Step Mode screen is showing.
  • Page 21 Total Steps The Total Steps field determines how many steps will occur in the method. Each step has independent values for Volume, Rate, Delay, and Infusion/Withdrawal. Upon entering the number of steps, the list on the left of the screen will update to show all of the steps.
  • Page 22 Additionally, high flow rates can exert tremendous pressure within a syringe that may cause glass or plastic syringes to burst. In the case of high-pressure experiments, users should consider using Chemyx Stainless-Steel Syringes and the high-pressure Chemyx Nexus 6000 pump.
  • Page 23 Start-Time Delay The Delay field represents the amount of time (in minutes and seconds) to delay starting the pump after the current step begins. When entering this value with the numeric keypad, the decimal key is used to indicate the separation between minutes and seconds.
  • Page 24 Pump Control The pump’s actions are controlled by the Stop, Pause, and Start keys on the front. In order to start a run, the screen should be showing either the Basic Mode (for basic runs) or Multi-Step Mode (for multi-step runs) main screens. Pressing the Start key in either other these screens will start a run with the currently set parameters.
  • Page 25 Run Status Basic Mode System Status screen The System Status screen for Basic Mode highlights the current activity of the pump during a run. The Elapsed Time field indicates how much time has passed since the pump has started physically running, not including any start-time delay.
  • Page 26 Load Run The Load Run screen allows users to recall Basic Mode methods that were saved in the Options screen. The Load Run screen can be reached by tapping on the Load folder icon on the Mode Selection screen. The left side of the screen shows a list of all the saved methods (a maximum of 20).
  • Page 27 Power Settings Power Settings screen The Power Settings screen can be reached by tapping on the Power icon on the Mode Selection screen. Motor Power The Fusion Series pumps can generate up to a maximum of 85 lbs (55 lbs for the Fusion 100-X) of linear force. Some syringes made of more fragile materials may not be able to withstand the full linear force of the pump.
  • Page 28 Pump Control by Computer Two types of connections are available for external computer control: DB9 and USB. The cables for each are available for purchase through Chemyx online store. DB9 Serial Cable (Male-to-Female) USB-A to USB-B cable For the DB9 serial connection, a Male-to-Female DB9 cable must be used. Do not use any “null modem,” “crossover”, or “crossed- over”...
  • Page 29 COM Port Settings Regardless of the operating system being used, the terminal program controlling the serial connection should use the following connection settings: 9600, 38400, 14400, 57600, Baud Rate 19200 and 115200. Data Bits Parity None Stop Bits Flow Control None The baud rate setting for the serial connection must match the baud rate set in the pump settings GUI (See Baud Rate in System Settings).
  • Page 30 Regardless of the operating system being used, the terminal program controlling the serial connection should use the following connection settings: Command Description help Displays a list of available commands. Starts the pump with the currently set parameters. The parameters that will run depend upon start which mode (Basic Mode or Multi-Step Mode) the pump touchscreen is showing.
  • Page 31 Command Description Sets the transfer volume. The pump will run until the volume infused or withdrawn equals this volume. This command also sets whether the pump is infusing or withdrawing (Fusion 200-X only) and the number of steps used in Multi-Step Mode. X must be an integer or decimal (up to five decimal places) within the volume limits for the syringe (See read limit parameter command).
  • Page 32 Command Description Sets the transfer rate for infusion/withdrawal. X must be an integer or decimal (up to five decimal places) within the rate limits for the syringe (See read limit parameter command). For Basic Mode, only one value is required. Example set rate 1.0 To set rates in Multi-Step Mode, the pump must be manually switched to Multi-Step...
  • Page 33 Command Description Sets the start time delay (in minutes) prior to each step of a pump run. Upon starting the a step, the pump will wait until the delay time elapses before starting to transfer volume. X must be an integer or decimal (up to five decimal places) within the rate limits for the syringe (See read limit parameter command).
