Publication 5617-006 Rev D
Setting the Force Limits
The maximum linear force of the syringe pump is 30 lbs
or 13.6 kgs. This force is sufficient to damage delicate,
low volume syringes, as well as many standard syringes if
pumping viscous fluids. The % of maximum force applied
by the pusher block can be changed.
In the set up screen, press Force .
Set the force level.
Press Other Value to enter a custom force %
Accept the changes made by pressing

NOTE: A minimum value of approximately
30% is required to overcome friction forces
in the mechanism. You may have to set the
force level to a higher value depending on
the backpressure/friction in your system.
