the
Dispenser
tab.
2. Select the Dispenser number (1 or 2) associated with the supply bottle.
3. Enter the desired purge Volume in L.

Syringe Maintenance Position
Gen5 provides access to special syringe setup functions for maintenance and
calibration purposes. If a syringe needs to be installed or replaced, it must first be
moved to its “Maintenance Position.” To do this using Gen5:
1. In Gen5, select System|Reader Control|Synergy(Com<#>) and click
the
Dispenser
tab.
2. Select the appropriate Dispenser number (1 or 2) associated with the
syringe.
3. Click Maintenance. The syringe plunger will move to its furthest-from-
home position. The syringe can then be disconnected form the drive bracket
and unscrewed from the valve.
4. See “Install Dispense Module Components” in Chapter 2, Installation
for information on installing/removing the syringes.

Important! Do not change the syringe positions or
calibrate the dispensers unless instructed to do so as part
of installation, upgrade, or maintenance.
