    OPERATION Setting/Calibrating Pump Flow Rate Flow rate is set and calibrated through the Sample menu as described below. Also see the procedures for setting/calibrating flow at 1 to 5 L/min and 5 to 500 ml/min, respectively. 1. In Sample menu, touch Set/Cal. 2.
  • Page 11: Setting/Calibrating Flow Rate From 1 To 5 L/Min

    Setting/Calibrating Flow Rate from 1 to 5 L/min • Allow pump to equilibrate after moving it from one temperature extreme to another. • Charge pump battery completely before calibration and sampling. • To achieve the best results, run the pump for 10 to 15 minutes before calibration. 1.
