INSTALLATION
What You Will Need
The Unit
A Optos Pump consists of the pump assembly, a fittings kit for tubing connections (except for ¼” piston
stainless steel pumps, which have fittings attached to the valves), a syringe (except ¼” pumps), a power cord,
this manual and warranty card.
Tools
You will not need special tools for the routine use of your OptosPump. For installation, all you will need are a
few wrenches to attach the fittings and perhaps a small blade screwdriver if you are making I/O connections.
The tool sizes you will need will depend on the specific fittings used (and are referenced in the appropriate
section of the instruction manual). If you have not already ordered a Preventive Maintenance Kit, we suggest
you consider doing so now. A listing of the various PM Kits beings on page 17.
Unpacking and Location
Before attempting to operate your pump, unpack it carefully. You should not discard any packing material, as
you will want to re-use it for storage and shipping. If any damage is evident from improper handling from
shipping, you should contact the freight company that delivered the unit to file a claim.
CAUTION:
We have tested this pump with 2 propanol. Residual amounts of 2
propanol may be in the pump. You may wish to flush with an appropriate,
miscible solvent.
You may be using a variety of fluids which require special handling procedures
and safety precautions. Consult the appropriate MSDS (Material Safety Data
Sheet) supplied with the materials you will be using. Be certain to follow all
handling, safety, and disposal procedures appropriate for the materials you use.
You must use your Optos Pump in a clean, well ventilated and dust free environment, free of corrosive or
explosive vapors. Optos Pumps are designed for table top use; you should not install your pump on the floor.
Your Optos Pump must be operated in a horizontal position. Safety may be impaired if use of your Optos pump
is not as instructed.

Fuses
The power entry module is self selecting for voltage within the range of
100-240V. The power cord (a 110/115V cord is provided) is plugged into
the power inlet. Plug the power cord of the pump into a grounded, properly
rated outlet and turn the power switch to ON. The power is turned on by
positioning the ON/OFF switch so the “1” is depressed. After you have
confirmed there is electrical power, turn the power off by positioning the
ON/OFF switch so the “0” is depressed.
Inputs/Outputs
I/O functions are available on the connector on the rear panel. To wire the
I/O connector for inputs or outputs, use a small screwdriver to depress the lever in the upper port of the I/O
