Adjusting the Syringe Speed
The
“S
yringe
Speed Adjust” controls the speed of the syringe as it dispenses liquid. The syringe
must move fast enough to inject the liquid within the time it takes the Ampulmatic-10 base unit to
flame seal an ampule.
If necessary, a small flat-bladed screwdriver can be used to adjust the speed of the syringe by
inserting the screwdriver into the “Syringe Speed Adjust” hole and turning the potentiometer
clockwise to increase the speed or counterclockwise to reduce the speed.
Note: If the speed of the syringe is too fast, air bubbles may form when the syringe is pulled down.
In this case, turn the “Syringe Speed Adjust” counterclockwise to reduce the speed. The dwell
time on the base unit can be adjusted to slow the base unit down if necessary.
