SP500 series OEM Programmable Syringe Pump
NE500 series manual 5 Revision 101101
3. Setup
 Place the pump on a stable surface.
 Plug the connector end of the power supply into the power plug located on the PCB on the side of the
pump. See section 9, Logic Interface: TTL Input and Output, for a diagram of the connectors on the
pump. After power is applied to the pump, the buzzer will beep.
 Next the Pumping Program can be entered. Before the Pumping Program can be operated, the pump
needs the measurement of the inside diameter, in millimeters, of the syringe that will be loaded. The
syringe diameter is entered using the "DIA" command.
 Finally, the syringe can be loaded and the pump started.
4. Loading Syringes
The syringe is loaded by securing the barrel and the pusher flange as follows:
1: Loosen the 2 thumbscrews on the syringe retainer bracket..
2: Press in fully the white drive-nut button on the pusher block, releasing the block. Taking care not
to drag the drive-nut on the drive-screw, slide the block away from the syringe holder, providing
sufficient space for the loaded syringe. Then release the white button.
3: Lift the syringe holder above the syringe holder block. Turn it 1/4 turn and then lower it onto the
syringe holder block. The syringe holder should be out of the ‘V’ slot.
4: Load the syringe with the barrel over the syringe holder and the syringe plunger towards the middle
of the pump. Place the barrel on the syringe holder, in the ‘V’ slot, with the barrel flange inserted
between the syringe holder block and syringe retainer bracket.
5: On the pusher block, turn the thumbscrew to make the slot large enough for the plunger flange. Press
in fully the white drive-nut button on the pusher block, releasing the pusher block. Then slide the
block towards the syringe plunger. Place the syringe plunger flange into the slot and against the
anti-siphon plate. When the flange is positioned in the slot, release the white drive-nut button.
6: Lift the syringe holder to slightly above the height of the syringe barrel and turn the syringe holder 1/4
turn back to its original position and then lower it onto the syringe barrel.
7: Firmly push in the syringe retainer bracket against the syringe barrel flange and tighten the 2
thumbscrews on the syringe retainer bracket. On the pusher block, turn the thumbscrew to tighten the
plate against the plunger flange.
 To unload the syringe, reverse the instructions for syringe loading.
