1. Introduction 1.1. Preamble By buying a VERMES Micro Dispensing System of the MDS 3000 line you are provided with a high-quality system manufactured with greatest care. In this manual you will in general become acquainted with VERMES Microdispensing services and in detail with the use of your system.
Micro Dispensing Valves (MDV line), a Micro Dispensing Control Unit (MDC line) and optional supply units (MDX line). Figure 1: Micro Dispensing System MDS 3000 To cover a wide range of viscosity VERMES Microdispensing developed three different types of valves which can be used depending on the viscosity of the media. MDV 3010A:...
The safety of the apparatus can be affected by using parts/units not advised by VERMES Microdispensing. The same can be considered for the usage of dangerous substances or the operation in an explosive environment, for which the Micro Dispensing System MDS 3010A/MDS 3020A is not designed.
Manual Micro Dispensing Systems MDS 3010A-FA and MDS 3020A-FA 2.4. Safety instructions Please check whether all fluid box connections are attached and sealed. Attention!!! Make sure all connections and connectors are mounted according to instructions and all components are specified for use with the intended pressure.
