3. Setting the Volume
The volume of the pipettor is set by turning the pipetting
pushbutton (A2) or the black adjustment knob (B).
The volume display consists of three numbers and is
read from top to bottom. The three numbers indicate the
volume selected and are colored black and red.
Red numbers represent decimal fractions for microvolume
pipettors or milliliters for macrovolume pipettors.
An example for each of these pipettors is given on the
next page.
