Cable to connect a pump, or the first pump in a pump network, to a standard personal computer’s serial port
with a DB-9 or DB-25 connector. Included with this cable is a 9 pin to 25 pin converter.

RS-232 Network Secondary Cable
7 foot cable, part #:

CBL-NET-7

25 foot cable, part #:

CBL-NET-25

Cable to connect additional pumps, after the first pump, to the pump network.

USB to RS-232 converter cable
USB to RS-232 cable, software drivers on CD, part#: CBL-USB232
Attached to the RS-232 Network Primary Cable, allows communication through a PC’s USB port.

10.3.4 Automation Cable: Reciprocating/Dual Pumps Control Cable

Part #: CBL-DUAL

Using two NE-1000 family syringe pumps, this cable either creates an automated, continuous operation
pumping system, whereby one pump is refilling while the other is dispensing, or creates a dual pumping
system, with both pumps operating in the same direction.

This cable is attached to two NE-1000 family syringe pumps via their RS-232 connectors. In this setup, with
the pumps configured for this operation, one pump acts as the Master controller. With the Master pump
programmed with a continuous infusion program, the other pump will always be pumping in the opposite
direction. With proper plumbing, this will create a continuous infusion system.

Alternatively, the pumps can be set to Dual Pump Mode, whereby the second pump will always follow the
program on the first pump, including starting, stopping, direction changes, and rate changes.

When either pump stops, for any reason, the other pump stops.

10.3.5 Valve Controller

Part# ADPT-VALVE-INTERFACE-1 (For one pump)
Part# ADPT-VALVE-INTERFACE-2 (For two pumps, includes CBL-TTL-1)

Provides a control interface for your electronic valves. Attach your electronic valves, and the interface will
control the activation of the valves. The 2 pump interface is used to create a continuous infusion/refill system.

10.3.6 Foot Switch

Part #: ADPT-2

Allows the pump to be operated from a foot switch. Attaches to the TTL I/O connector.

10.3.7 Firmware Upgrade

Part#: CPU-NE500, Upgrades to the newest version of the firmware.
Part#: CPU-NE500X, Gradient/Linear ramping for smooth gradients, plus other new program functions.
Part#: CPU-NE500X2, Also expands the Pumping Program memory to 340 Phases.

Contact your dealer for this upgrade and to determine the current available version of the pumps internal
firmware.

10.4 Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Maintenance: Periodically, a small amount of all-purpose oil should be applied to the guide rods and drive
screw.

The mechanism should be kept clean to prevent impeded operation.

No other special maintenance or calibrations are needed

RS-232 Communications: If no RS-232 communications is possible or garbled responses are received from
the pump, check the following:
