Introduction
Information such as motor speed and direction of rotation can be received from, and
sent to, other instruments. This feature can be used in a variety of situations, two of
which are described below.
Volume information to a fraction
collector
The stepper motor in the pump gives a pulse for every 0.4° of rotation. This angle corre-
sponds to a certain volume and the information can be used to determine fraction size
in a fraction collector. One pulse corresponds to approximately 1 mL when using tubing
with i.d. 3.1 mm in the pump.
For further details, see
Section 5.4 Calibration of volume information, on page 48
Connection to a controller
For use in completely automated systems, Peristaltic Pump P-1 can be controlled for
example from ÄKTA™ systems using I/O-signals.
For further information refer to the relevant controller’s Instruction Manual.
