Setting Up the XP3000 for Your Application
4-5
4
Make pump connections.
Connect power and communications cables to the pump, install syringe and tubing.
Place the end of the input tubing in a reservoir of particle-free fluid; place the end of
the output tubing in a waste reservoir.
5
Check communications to the pump.
a) Open the Pump:Link program to the XP 3000 menu (full page), or use
your own communications program.
b) Send the command [&] to read the pump’s firmware revision number.
Successful communication will return the revision number and a “Ready”
status.
Possible errors:
No response. Check for loose or incorrectly connected cables, or
connection to the wrong computer COM port. Retry.
6
Initialize pump and set initialization speed.
The following information assumes that your input tubing connects to the right valve
port. If your input tubing connects to the left valve port, exchange [Y] for all
instances of [Z] in the following commands.
Send the command [ZR] to initialize the pump. Successful initialization
will move the syringe plunger to the position “0” (fully dispensed) and
return a “Ready” status.
Possible errors:
Error 1 (initialization error). Check for tubing blockage and reinitialize. If
you are using very narrow I.D. tubing or pumping a viscous fluid, the
initialization speed may need to be reduced.
This is accomplished (only if using a 1 mL or larger syringe) by sending
the command [Z16R] (initializes at full-force, reduced speed). Repeat with
decreasing initialization speed (increase “Z_” value) until the pump
successfully initializes.
7
Prime the syringe.
a) Send the command [IA3000OA0R] to pull fluid through the valve input
position and into the syringe.
b) Inspect the pump tubing and syringe for bubbles and re-prime until all
bubbles are completely gone.
If bubbles remain after several priming strokes, disassemble the syringe
and clean it with alcohol. Also check to ensure the fittings are tight and
the syringe is tight within the Teflon fitting.
c) Re-prime.
Possible errors:
Error 9 (plunger overload). See step 8.
