KD Scientific Allegro Peristaltic Pump System User’s Manual
Publication 5617-006 Rev E
Product Overview
The KD Scientific Allegro Peristaltic Pump System is
the next generation of peristaltic pumps. The system
offers unparalleled ease of use through the high
resolution color touch screen user interface. The full
touch screen interface enables the user to quickly create
configurations and recall them for easy use. The TFT
color display presents all the pump operating parameters
on an easy to view run screen.
The password feature prevents accidental configuration
changes ensuring the program’s integrity is retained.
Programs can also be set to be started on a time delay
for unattended operation.
An led light on the front panel makes it easy to see if the
pump is running. Once the pump starts to run, the display
shows the pump is running and the LED turns on. This will
make it easy to see the pump’s status.
The pumps are versatile and can be interconnected through
the RS-485 interface. Allegro Peristaltic Pump System
models can be mixed and matched in the daisy chain
offering maximum flexibility. Up to 99 pumps can be linked
together through the RS-485 interface. This interface is easy
to use provided each pump is assigned its own unique
pump address.
For limited laboratory space the Allegro Peristaltic Pump
controller can be placed on its side to reduce the
footprint. The display also tilts with the change to allow
the user to operate the pump vertically. The pump heads
can be stacked to save bench space.
Notifications and error messages are displayed for the
user to acknowledge, eliminating any guesswork about
problems.
Flow performance is optimized with a small step angle
stepping motor. The tubing mechanism is easy to use and
securely holds the tubing for smooth flow performance.
Advanced microstepping techniques are employed to
further reduce the step angle to eliminate flow pulsation.
A wide dynamic flow range can be programmed into the
pump. Flow rates are selectable with user selected
engineering units from L, ml, µl, nl and hours, minutes
and seconds.
The superior design of the full metal chassis provides
noise isolation and anti-vibration features for increased
reliability.
