  • Page 5: About This Manual

    The fluid makes contact only with the interior of the flexible tubing and thus cannot contaminate or damage the pump. WPI’s MiniStar™ peristaltic pump is easy to maintain and clean. It is compact and lightweight and can conveniently fit into almost any experimental setup.
  • Page 6: Notes And Warnings

    Concealed damage should be reported at once to the carrier and an inspection requested. Please read the section entitled “Claims and Returns” on page 11 of this manual. Please contact WPI Customer Service if any parts are missing at 941.371.1003 or customerservice@wpiinc.com.
  • Page 7: Instrument Description

    Mini-Star™ INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION The Mini-Star is a compact pump that can be used as a standalone device or mounted on a post. The pump is powered by a 12 V DC adapter that is connected to a jack on the rear panel. The pump can be controlled either with a handheld remote or with an analog signal from a computer.
  • Page 8 Analog Control (Optional) The analog input control provides precise control over the pump without using the technically advanced RS485 communication. WPI offers an external control module supporting analog signals of 0~5V. The pin connections in the module are enumerated below.
  • Page 9 DB15 plug. The communication protocol for the pump is given in the Appendix (see page 6). Users proficient in creating software applications (with LabView, C++ or similar tools) may wish to write their own control programs, but WPI does not provide support for this activity.
