weight of the filled amount of the product is entered. If the product has a
density other than 1 the MC100 has to take that into the calculation of the
pump data for filling to convert to volume. The density must be in the range
0,5 to 2,0 g/cm
3 . Please note the conversion to integer as described above.
Calibration value The weight of the product in g filled (found by subtracting the weight of the vial
from the total weight of the filled vial). When receiving the weight MC100
calculates new pump parameters for the actual pump and send it to the pump
controller. The pump will use the new setting from the first dispensing after
having received the new data.
If the volume is changed the calibration is reset. To avoid overfilling the fillings
after entering a new volume will be approximately 70 – 80% of the requested
filling volume. Hereafter a new calibration must be made.
Please note that if the calibration value is outside the limits (below 50% or
above 200% of the volume) a warning is generated and the calibration value
is ignored.
When transmitting and receiving the value for calibration please note the
conversion to integer as described above.
Please consult the manual for the actual pump type for a more detailed description of the parameters.
