7.9. Specified flow
The specified flow function is used to set the desired flow rate or
metering volume.

Tab. 13: Specified flow
To ensure precise results, it is necessary to calibrate the pump
(see section 7.14).
The “Visk100cSt” and “Visk500cSt” fluid type settings reduce
the flow rate values available for selection (see section 7.14).
7.10. Flow unit
Switch from a specified flow rate [ml/min] to a specified metering
volume [ml] by changing the unit.
When millilitres [ml] are set as the unit for a metered volume, it
is also necessary to program the time counter. The system
automatically sets the shortest possible time with the maximum
flow rate.
7.11. Timeout with time counter
Use the time counter to terminate flow after the time shown on the
counter.
The metering operation is automatically calculated so that the
required metering volume will have been reached on expiry of the
time entered on the time counter.

Tab. 14: Timeout
When millilitres [ml] are entered for the metering of a given
volume, the permitted setting range for the time counter is
restricted so that the flow rate will not be below or above the
permitted flow rate for the pump.
If millilitres [ml] have been entered, the time counter cannot be
deactivated. The setting [- - min - - sec] is not possible.
If millilitres per minute [ml/min] have been set, the time counter
can be switched to the hours and minutes area. To do this, set
the minute setting to more than 59 min.
