‘Rate’ and ‘Program Phase #’ Key

When the Pumping Program is stopped, except in “Program Entry Mode”, the ‘Rate’ key allows the pumping
rate to be viewed or changed. If the currently selected function allows selection of rate units, momentarily
pressing this key will switch between the ‘Rate’ display and the select rate units mode.

To change the pumping rate displayed, use the up arrow keys (see sec.6.4,
Arrow and Decimal Point Key).

While the Pumping Program is operating, pressing this key will display the current pumping rate, if applicable.
While displayed, the current pumping rate can be changed by pressing the up arrow keys. The rate units will
blink while the rate is being changed. The new pumping rate takes effect when the display blinks after a 2
second delay or when a non-arrow key is pressed. The new pumping rate is stored in the current Program
Phase.

See section 12.7, “Syringe Diameters and Rate Limits”, for a list of minimum and maximum pumping rates. A
pumping rate of 0.0 will stop the pump. When the pumping rate is changed, if it is out of range of the pumping

rate limits, the display will show

nn

, where ‘nn’ indicates the currently selected Phase Number.

Pressing any key clears the message and returns to the previous pumping rate.

6.6.1

Pumping Rate Units

The pumping rate units can only be changed when the Pumping Program is not operating. If the currently
selected function allows selection of rate units (‘RATE’ function), a momentary press of the ‘Rate’ key will
enter Rate Units Change mode. The 2 LEDs representing the units will blink and the display will show:

.

Each press of any up arrow key selects the next rate units, as indicated by the blinking units LEDs. When the
required rate units are blinking, press any non-arrow key or wait 2 seconds. The display will blink, indicating
the rate units are stored. The rate units are stored in the currently selected Program Phase. The rate units can
be independently set for each Phase with a ‘RATE’ function.

6.6.2

Program Entry Mode

While the Pumping Program is stopped, “Program Entry Mode” can be entered by pressing and holding the

‘Rate’ key. Release the key when the display shows the current Program Phase number:

nn

, where

‘nn’ indicates the current Program Phase number.

With the current Program Phase number displayed, if the currently selected Program Phase is set to a pumping
rate function, a momentary press of this key will exit “Program Entry Mode” and return to the rate display.

6.7

‘Volume’ and ‘Program Function’ Key

When the Pumping Program is stopped, except in “Program Entry Mode”, momentary presses of this key will
switch the display between the “Volume to be Dispensed” and the “Volume Dispensed” displays, as indicted
by the ‘Dispensed’ LED.

With the Pumping Program stopped, and the “Volume to be Dispensed” displayed, pressing the arrow keys
will change the “Volume to be Dispensed” (see sec.6.4,
Arrow and Decimal Point Key). The units of the volume are set according to the syringe diameter, but can be
changed. The new “Volume to be Dispensed” is stored in the current Program Phase. If the “Volume to be
Dispensed” is disabled (‘off’), pressing any up arrow key will change the display to 0.0. The “Volume to be
Dispensed” can now be set using the up arrow keys.

While pumping, pressing this key will switch between displaying the current “Volume Dispensed” and
“Volume to be Dispensed”.

6.7.1

Disabling “Volume to be Dispensed”

To disable the “Volume to be Dispensed”, i.e. continuous pumping, set the “Volume to be Dispensed” to 0.0.

After being stored, the display will show

, indicating the “Volume to be Dispensed” is off. In this

mode, the pump will not stop at a set volume and will pump continuously until the pump is stopped, or an
“event trigger”, programmed into the Pumping Program, occurs.
