set the aliquot volume, are read from top (most
significant digit) to bottom (least significant digit).
The marker is used to set exact or intermediate
volumes using the scale on the bottom dial. The
volume units (mL or µL) and position of the decimal
point change automatically when you change the
volume range using the selector switch.
The volumeter makes it easy to set and read any
volume from 1 µL to 1.25 mL with accurate incre-
mental settings, as shown below.

Setting the volume
1- Pull up the black adjustment ring (page 5, B).
2- With your Distriman in one hand, turn the
adjustment ring with the other hand until the
volumeter shows the required value, taking
care that the marker is correctly aligned with
the scale on the bottom dial.
Take the following precautions in order to obtain
maximum accuracy when changing the volumeter
setting.
• When
decreasing the volume setting, turn the
adjustment ring slowly to reach the required
setting, taking care not to overshoot the mark.
• When increasing the volume setting, turn
the adjustment ring past the mark to 1/3 of a
turn above the required setting. Then turn the
adjustment ring slowly to decrease the volume
setting to the required value, taking care not to
overshoot the mark.
