3. Setup
♦ Place the pump on a stable surface.
♦ Plug the round connector end of the supplied power supply adapter into the power plug located on the lower
right of the pump's rear. See section 10, Logic Interface: TTL Input and Output, for a diagram of the rear of
the pump. Plug the other end of the power supply adapter into an appropriate electrical outlet. The pump will
be powered when the bottom of the power switch, located on the upper right of the rear of the pump, labeled
‘1’, is pressed. The red indicator on the switch is visible when the power switch is in the ‘on’ position. After
power is applied to the pump, the pump’s display will flash.
♦ 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
can be entered using the keypad on the front panel of the pump.
♦ Finally, the syringes can be loaded and the pump started.
4. Loading Syringes
The syringes are loaded by securing the barrel and the pusher flanges as follows:
1: Loosen the 2 thumbscrews on the syringe retainer bracket.
2: Turn the Drive Release Knob ¼ turn clock-wise, then lift. 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. While
lifting the knob, press on the middle of the side for easiest movement.
3: Lift the syringe clamps above the syringe holder bracket and turn 1/4 turn and then lower onto the syringe
holder bracket. The syringe clamp should be away from the ‘V’ slot.
4: Load each syringe with the barrel over the syringe holder bracket and the syringe plunger towards the middle
of the pump. Place the barrel on the syringe holder bracket, in the ‘V’ slot, with the barrel flange inserted
between the syringe holder bracket and syringe retainer bracket.
5: On the pusher block, turn the thumbscrew to make the slot large enough for the plunger flange. Adjust the
pusher block position as needed towards the syringe plunger. Place each syringe plunger flange into a slot
and against the anti-siphon plate.
6: Lock the pusher block in place by turning the release knob counter-clockwise until secure.
7: For each syringe, lift the syringe clamp 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.
8: Firmly push in the syringe retainer bracket against the syringe barrel flanges and tighten the 2 thumbscrews on
the syringe retainer bracket. On the pusher block, turn the thumbscrews to tighten the plates against the
plunger flanges.
⇒ To unload the syringe, reverse the instructions for syringe loading.
