    CHEMYX PRODUCTS ARE NOT APPROVED FOR CLINICAL USE ON HUMANS. USE PROPER POWER SUPPLY Chemyx is not responsible for the use of power supplies outside the stated electrical specifications or failure to switch the power converter from 220V to 110 V while in the 220V environment or vice versa.

  • Page 5: Product Overview

    Product Overview FUSION 6000-X The Chemyx Fusion product line serve a wide variety of applications. The Chemyx Fusion 6000-X is a high-pressure syringe pump designed for dosing viscous solutions, and semi-solid material injections against pressure. The units’ flexibility with syringe types and sizes and an advanced software interface make this high-pressure syringe pumps integrable into any operation or laboratory work flow.

  • Page 6: Controlled Elements

    The two guide rods keep the pusher block horizontal and perfectly perpendicular to the lead screw. Tightening the knob will lock the pusher block back in place. As for the Fusion 6000-X, the pusher block can only be moved back and forth from the pump screen in the menu section.
  • Page 7 FUSION 6000-X SPECIFIC COMPO- Flange Retaining Bracket Bracket Release Knob The Fusion 6000-X is capable of both infusion and withdrawal on a single pump channel. The Fusion 6000-X also uses an adjustable retaining brackets on the pusher block and the syringe holder block that keep the syringe in place during both infusion and withdrawal.

  • Page 8: Specifications

    Fusion 6000-X Data Sheet The Fusion 6000-X high-pressure syringe pump is designed for dosing viscous solutions, and semi-solid material injections against pressure. This system allows also for heated temperature control and pressure modulation while providing precision flow and performance. It includes prime buttons that allow you to easily adjust the push blocker to the syringe.

  • Page 9: Prime Button

    Prime Button The Fusion 6000-X includes a Prime Button that allows you to easily adjust the push blocker of your syringe.

  • Page 10: Pump Setup

    Pump Setup Powering On/Off the Pump To provide power to the pump, a power cable should be plugged into the power socket on the back of the pump. The cable should be plugged into an appropriate power source (110V or 220V) with proper grounding. The power switch for the pump is located on the back, above the power socket.

  • Page 11: Adjusting The Safety Nut/Stall Rod

    FUSION 6000-X 1. If necessary, move and tighten the infusion safety rod (see Adjusting the Safety Rod). 2. To move the pusher block use the Forward and Reverse functions that can be found on the menu screen of the pump. Move the pusher block all the way to the right 3.
  • Page 12 To protect against this potential problem, Fusion 6000-X use a stall rod to physically stop the pusher block before it can completely depress the syringe plunger. When a pusher block hits the safety mechanism and can no longer move forward, the pump will stop running, emit a long beep, and enter pump-stalled mode.

  • Page 13: Pump Operation

    Pump Operation Operating Interface Limits for selected fields Selected Fields Deselected 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 a deselected editable text field turns blue when the field is selected and available for editing.

  • Page 14: Mode Selection Screen

    NAVIGATING BETWEEN SCREENS All of the screens in the Fusion Series GUI exist in a hierarchy, with the Mode Selection screen at the top. Entering a new screen is performed simply by activating, or tapping, a button or icon that opens the new screen. To return to the previous screen, tap or activate the red “X”...

  • Page 15: Pressure & Temperature Settings

    Pressure & Temperature Settings (Fusion 6000-X The Temperature Settings screen allows you to control the optional syringe heaters for the Fusion 6000-X pump. The options on the screen allow you to start the heater with flow, control temperature, pre-heat the syringe and then start the pump as well as setting a timer on the syringe heater.

  • Page 16: Pressure Mode

    How To Set Up Constant Pressure Mode 1. Go to the main manual and press Pressure into the pressure set up page. Fusion 6000-X Main Menu 2. Enter the Target Pressure number. The default number of Flow Rate Adjustment is 1. If the time to reach the target pressure is too long, increase the flow rate adjustment number slowly.

  • Page 17: Basic Mode

    Basic Mode Basic Mode (or Single-Step Mode) is used for applications that do not require advanced automation, variable volume and rate settings, step looping, or ramping rates. The Basic Mode screen can be reached by tapping on the water droplet icon on the Mode Selection screen. Basic Mode allows users to select the syringe being used, to set a valid volume and rate, and to choose whether to infuse or withdraw.

  • Page 18: Volume

    When a particular syringe is selected from the list on the right, an Import button will appear next to the selected item. Tapping the Import button (or pressing the Enter key on the navigation keypad) will import the inner diameter associated with the selected syringe and exit the Syringe Library screen.

  • Page 19: Infusion/Withdrawal

    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 Fusion 6000-X pump.

  • Page 20: Start-Time Delay

    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 21: Options

    Options The Fusion Series is capable of both infusion and withdrawal. On the systems, an Infusion/Withdrawal toggle button should appear when the Volume field is selected. The bubble form indicates the mode that is currently set and direction that the pusher block will move upon starting the run. Volume Settings screen FLOW-RATE UNITS The flow-rate units determine which units of volume and time will be used for the Volume and Rate fields.

  • Page 22: Multi-Step Mode

    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 Menu 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 23: Total Steps

    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 24: Flow-Rate Units

    FLOW-RATE UNITS Tapping the Volume or Pump Rate button opens a screen that allows flow-rate units to be set. The flow-rate unit determines which unit of volume and time will be used for the Volume and Rate fields for all of the steps. This setting in Multi-Step Mode also changes the units for Basic Mode.

  • Page 25: Step Parameters

    Step Parameters Every step in the multi-step method will have a selectable entry in the list. At the top of the screen you will find a place to enter your syringe size as well as the number of steps the multi-step method to take. Tapping the step will allow you to change the Volume and Rate.

  • Page 26: Pump Control

    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 27: System Settings
