SETTING THE VOLUME

MyPIPETMAN®
Chapter 2
SETTING THE VOLUME
The volume of liquid to be aspirated is set using the volume display. The dials are colored either black or
red to indicate the position of the decimal point, depending on the model (refer to Figure 4 below).
Volume selection differs according to your configuration. To obtain maximum accuracy when setting the
volume, proceed as follows:
●
When
decreasing
the volume setting, slowly reach the required setting, making sure not to
overshoot the volume mark.
●
When
increasing
the volume setting, pass the required value by 1/3 of a turn and slowly decrease to
reach the volume, making sure not to overshoot the volume mark.
