7.12. Priming
This function is for rapidly priming and emptying the pump head
and lines.
Press the control knob and hold in place for the
duration of the priming/emptying operation. The
pump will run at a higher speed during this time.
The priming function interrupts a metering operation that is
currently in progress.
7.13. Fluid type
The fluid type setting is used to adjust the pump characteristic
curve for different types of fluid.
Select “Fluid Type” to enter the selection menu.
The letter at the right end of the line identifies the currently
active characteristic curve.
The following settings are available for selection:
Standard
Symbol: S
This is the optimum setting for all media with a viscosity similar to
that of water. A uniform flow characteristic curve is obtained with
short suction times and appropriate linearisation.
Degassing
Symbol: D
This is the appropriate setting for media with a low boiling
temperature, since these media are sensitive to any pressure drop
and deceleration phenomena.
The pump suction rate is reduced.
The pumping characteristic curve limits fluid acceleration and
deceleration to the maximum extent possible.
